Equipped with 5 UltraSharp ProBlades, a larger lubrastrip, and FlexBall technology, these blades are engineered to glide smoothly over facial contours, minimize irritation, and offer long-lasting performance, with each blade designed to provide up to a month of shaves.

The Gillette ProGlide blades deliver a premium and highly effective shaving experience in daily use. The 5 UltraSharp ProBlades provide an exceptionally close cut, feeling smooth and comfortable against the skin, attributed to their precise engineering and optimal spacing. The FlexBall technology significantly enhances the shaving process, allowing the razor to effortlessly glide and pivot over the natural curves of the face, such as the jawline and neck. This adaptability helps ensure few missed spots and reduces the need for multiple passes, thereby minimizing irritation.
Immediate comfort is noticeable due to the larger lubrastrip, which creates a slick surface for the blades, facilitating a smooth glide and reducing friction. For specific grooming needs, the precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge proves to be an invaluable tool. It allows users to achieve clean, defined lines for sideburns, mustaches, or reaching difficult areas like under the nose. Users can expect consistent high performance from each blade, which is designed to maintain its sharpness and effectiveness for up to a month, depending on individual shaving habits and beard density. For an even more enhanced shave, pairing these blades with Gillette’s Pro shave gel is recommended.
Unpack: Carefully remove the new Gillette ProGlide blade cartridge from its protective packaging.
Attach: Align the blade cartridge with the top of your Gillette ProGlide razor handle. Gently push until you hear an audible click, indicating it is securely locked into place.
Inspect: Before use, visually confirm that the blade is firmly attached to the handle and properly aligned.
Razor Handles: Gillette ProGlide razor blades are specifically engineered to fit Gillette ProGlide razor handles. While they might be compatible with some other Gillette Fusion family razor handles, optimal performance and full feature benefits (like FlexBall technology) are ensured when used with a dedicated ProGlide handle.
Shave Gels: For an even smoother glide and cleaner shave, it is highly recommended to pair these blades with Gillette’s Pro shave gel or other quality shaving creams/foams.
Rinse Thoroughly: After every few strokes, rinse the blades under running water from back to front to clear away accumulated hair and shaving cream. Do not tap the razor against the sink or wipe the blades with a towel, as this can damage the delicate blade edges.
Store Properly: After rinsing, store your razor in an upright position in a dry area. Allowing the blades to air dry naturally helps prevent corrosion and extends their lifespan.
Replace Regularly: For optimal performance, hygiene, and comfort, replace your Gillette ProGlide blade cartridge every 3-4 weeks, or sooner if you notice signs of dullness, tugging, increased irritation, or reduced shave quality.
