FAQs

How often should I replace the blade cartridge?

Replace the blade cartridge when the blades feel dull or the lubrication strip fades, typically every 5-7 shaves, depending on frequency of use and hair thickness.

Can I use these blades with any Gillette razor handle?

These blades are designed to be used with Gillette razor handles that are compatible with the SkinGuard series. Check the packaging for compatibility information.

What is the SkinGuard technology?

SkinGuard technology is a unique feature located between the blades, designed to minimize direct contact with the skin and help reduce irritation.

Is this razor suitable for people with acne?

While the SkinGuard technology is designed to be gentle, it's best to consult a dermatologist if you have severe acne. Use light pressure and shave in the direction of hair growth.

How do I clean the razor blades?

Rinse the razor blades thoroughly with water after each stroke and after each use. Avoid tapping the razor on the sink, as this can damage the blades.

Does this razor blade have a lubrication strip?

Yes, the SkinGuard Sensitive Razor Blade Refills include a lubrication strip with a touch of aloe for enhanced glide and comfort.

How should I store the razor blades?

Store the razor blades in a dry place to prevent rusting and to maintain the sharpness of the blades.
