Full details
The GilletteLabs Body + Intimate Razor is designed for men seeking a safe and smooth body shave, especially in sensitive areas. Its key benefit is the Triple Defence System, which protects against irritation, ingrown hairs, and regrowth itch. A potential caveat is its specialized design which may require adjustment for those accustomed to traditional razors. Key features include a 2D FlexDisc head, an anti-ingrown bar, an anti-irritation bar, a long-lasting lubrastrip, and an Easy Reach Shower Grip for control.

FAQs
Is this razor suitable for all skin types?
Yes, the GilletteLabs Body + Intimate Razor is designed with a Triple Defence System to protect sensitive skin and minimize irritation for various skin types.
How often should I replace the blade cartridge?
Blade replacement frequency varies based on usage. Generally, replace the cartridge when you notice a decrease in performance, dullness, or increased irritation. For most users, this is typically every 4-8 weeks.
Can I use this razor on my face?
This razor is specifically designed for body and intimate grooming. For facial shaving, Gillette recommends using razors designed for the face, such as the GilletteLabs Heated Razor or standard Gillette Fusion5 razors.
What makes the handle design different?
The handle has an increased arch and a shorter length compared to some face razors, offering enhanced control and maneuverability for body grooming, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
How does the 'anti-ingrown bar' work?
The anti-ingrown bar is designed to help lift hairs and release them from the skin's surface, reducing the chance of hairs becoming trapped and leading to ingrowns.
Is the magnetic hanger strong enough for daily use?
The magnetic shower hanger is designed for convenient and secure storage. Ensure it's attached to a suitable surface for optimal holding power.
Where can I buy replacement blades?
Replacement blade cartridges for the GilletteLabs Body + Intimate Razor are available through major online retailers and in stores where Gillette products are sold.
Troubleshooting
Razor is not providing a close shave
Ensure the blade cartridge is new and sharp. Rinse the blade head thoroughly after each pass to clear hair and shaving cream. Check for any visible debris between the blades.
Experiencing irritation or nicks
Ensure the skin is properly prepped with shaving cream or gel. Shave with lighter pressure and allow the Triple Defence System to do the work. Make sure the 2D FlexDisc is moving freely and conforming to the skin. Replace the blade if it is dull.
Razor handle feels slippery
Dry your hands before gripping the handle. The Easy Reach Shower Grip is designed for wet conditions, but ensure your grip is firm and secure.
Magnetic hanger is not holding the razor
Ensure the shower surface where the hanger is attached is clean, dry, and smooth. Test the strength of the magnet by attempting to slide the razor off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The razor comes pre-assembled with blades. Simply remove it from its packaging. Attach the magnetic shower hanger to a clean, smooth surface in your shower, ensuring it is securely fastened. The razor can then be placed on the hanger for storage.
Compatibility: This razor uses GilletteLabs proprietary blade refills. Replacement cartridges are readily available.
Care: After each use, rinse the razor head thoroughly under running water to remove hair and shaving cream. Shake off excess water and store the razor upright on its magnetic hanger or in a dry place to allow the blades to air dry. Avoid storing the razor in standing water. Periodically, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently clean between the blades if debris accumulates. Replace the blade cartridge when you notice any dullness or pulling sensation, typically after several weeks of use depending on frequency and hair type.
