This post is in partnership with Gillette’s new SkinGuard razor –  new at Walmart today.


There Is No Escaping A Razor In This House

As a military man, my husband has to shave consistently. A clean shaven face is considered standard attire and is basically non-negotiable in his job. Therefore, shaving daily is part of his every day routine. This takes up a good portion of his time each and every morning.

But when you have sensitive skin, shaving regularly can really take a rough toll on your skin, causing bumps, a rash and irritation.

My husband has experienced all of the above in the past with different razors and shaving methods (razor shaving, electric shaving, etc). There always seems to be an area of frustration no matter the past method. I am always looking for ways to make this experience easier and more comfortable for him, with special soaps, replacing blades often and trying new razors. After all, as an active duty military member; he has way more important things to worry about than his shaving routine.

This is Where Gillette Comes In.

Now I have to admit something: we have been Gillette® users in this house for years. My husband has been using them the last few years The brand really cannot be beat! So when I found out about Gillette®’s new SkinGuard razor, I KNEW I needed to check this out!

Gillette was amazing and sent me a set for my husband to give a try. Gillette® SkinGuard razors are specifically designed for those who get razor bumps often. The razor shaves hair and protects the skin thanks to its unique SkinGuard positioned between the blades. It works to minimize the “tug and pull” caused by traditional razors and cut hair at skin level, helping to prevent irritation. Which in turn, should make the requirement of shaving every day for my husband to no longer be such a negative experience!

After all, no one wants bumps…or redness…or irritation.

Yuck!

I am here to tell you, we were NOT disappointed. It not only lived up to its expectations, but I actually was able to get my husband in front of the camera WILLINGLY because he was so thrilled with the results. No more irritation, no more bumps, no more razor burn. In his words “It is the best shave I have had in a long time”. The precision trimmer on the back is great for those hard-to-reach areas (like under the nose) and styling facial hair.

Ready to snag your own?! What are you waiting for? It was so easy to find at Walmart and it is available to you at Walmart nation-wide. I would recommend also getting the new PURE by Gillette shaving gel or PURE by Gillette shaving cream to use with it. Both smell AMAZING and are designed for sensitive skin.
