Product Information & Shaving Tips

  • How often should you use a razor before changing it?

    Every Gillette blade is designed to provide up to a month of shaves, but this can vary depending on a few factors:

    • The thickness and coarseness of your hair.
    • How frequently you use the razor.
    • The areas of your body where you use it.
    • How well you rinse and take care of the razor.

    It's important to pay attention to any signs of dullness or discomfort while shaving. If the blade doesn't seem to be performing as well or if you feel any discomfort, it's a good idea to replace the cartridge. And if you can't even remember the last time you changed the blade, it's definitely time for a fresh one to ensure the best shaving experience!
    To keep your razor in good condition, we recommend storing it upright, away from damp surfaces. This helps maintain its performance and longevity.

  • How do I clean my Gillette razor?

    Here are some simple tips to keep your razor in great condition:

    • Rinse it well: While shaving, remember to rinse your razor frequently. Avoid tapping razor on the sink instead give it a swirl in warm water or run it under the tap. This will help remove hair and debris.
    • Air dry: After rinsing, shake off any excess water and let the razor air dry. Avoid using a towel to pat the blades, as this can cause damage. Allowing it to air dry will help maintain its quality.
    • Proper storage: To keep your razor in top shape and prevent rust, store it in a dry area using its holder if you have one. It's a good idea to keep it away from bathroom products like cleaning sprays. If you don't have a holder, you can store the razor face-up on a surface or vertically in a cup or stand.

    By following these simple steps, you can extend the life of your razor and ensure a clean and comfortable shave every time!

  • What is the difference between Gillette Power razors and non-Power razors?

    Power razors have the same core elements as a manual razor but will vibrate when turned on. The micro pulses help reduce friction for an even smoother razor glide. The power razors require a AAA battery and can be activated by pushing the power button on the handle. The power razor will automatically shut off after 8 minutes, but can be turned on again. All power razors are Shower-safe®. Additionally, all power razor cartridges are interchangeable with their base manual cartridge, and in the case of the Fusion family of razors (Fusion, ProGlide, and Styler), all Fusion cartridges will fit all Fusion handles

  • Which Gillette razor is best for shaving and styling my beard?

    Any Gillette razor can help you manage your beard, but using a more advanced razor makes the job that much easier. A multiblade shaving system, such as the Gillette ProGlide Shield Razor, has 5 blades spaced closer together to help reduce the pressure on each blade for more comfort and less irritation.

    If you need to do fine detail work on your beard, take a look at the King C. Gillette All-in-one Styler.. This versatile, multi-purpose styler is perfect for shaving, trimming, and edging.
