⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Two precision-engineered blades reduce tug and pull for a close, comfortable shave
- • Best for: Men with sensitive, bump- and breakout-prone skin who need a gentler shave
- • Not ideal for: Users who prefer non-sensitive-focused blades and a very aggressive multi-blade feel
SkinGuard technology minimises blade contact while low-force twin blades and lubrication strips help lower irritation. Refills fit SkinGuard Sensitive, ProGlide, ProShield and Fusion5 handles and include a precision trimmer for shaping facial hair.
Smoother, irritation-free shaves – With SkinGuard technology
SkinGuard technology reduces direct blade contact with the skin, creating a barrier that lessens pressure where blades meet skin. Lubrication strips before and after the blades support an easier glide across sensitive areas.
Reduced redness and fewer razor bumps result in a calmer post-shave feel, useful for daily shavers with reactive skin. Expect fewer touch-ups and less post-shave discomfort.
Less tug and pull for a gentler shave – Thanks to gentle, low-force blades
Two precision-engineered, low-force blades are designed to cut hair with reduced resistance, lowering the chance of pulling rather than cutting. The blade geometry prioritises smooth engagement over aggressive cutting.
A smoother stroke reduces irritation and makes short, careful passes effective, especially across sensitive areas. Shaving becomes quicker and less likely to cause nicks or soreness.
Neat styling and access to tight spots – With a built-in precision trimmer
A precision trimmer is integrated into the refill to tackle sideburns, moustache edges and other hard-to-reach contours. The trimmer provides a narrow cutting edge for controlled shaping.
Accurate trimming helps maintain clean lines without switching tools, ideal for men who trim facial hair while shaving. The trimmer adds small styling control alongside the main blades.
