ProGlide Shield Premium Edition Razors for Men, 1 Gillette Razor, 8 ProShield Razor Blade Refills, 1 Travel Case

It’s been almost two years I brought this razor for myself. The razor is top notch quality and trusted brand. Have been using it more than three times a week. Although I have been regularly buying the blades for the razor, lol. This was my second purchase of the same razor. Previously I lost the razor while traveling, must have been left some where. From then onwards this is my go to buy. Blades are very easy to find for this. I combine it with Gillette’s Foaming Shave Gel and After Shave. This razor is portable and easy to carry without the blades. Comes with a holder of sort to find it easy. One thing I would say is it’s easily cleanable under hot water and also the blades that come with it. Those Gillette blades are long lasting as well. Just pop out the razor and attach the blades and we are good to go. Blades often can be used thrice or four times for myself. I can see the yellow strip on those blades becoming white. So when it does just do a swap. This razor holds them really good and also has a lock mechanism with roller to avoid any infrequent bumps from your skin. I used this on face only. Not sure about other body parts. It’s totally worth the money for this razor from Gillette. 👍🏼👍🏼

Very good, and a repeat order, just that I needed a 2nd handle.

fantastic. the blade lasts a long time. with the 5 blades it doesn't take long to shave.

Flow of the razor it is great. No nicks when in use. Highly recommend

I’ll try to offer this review with more accuracy and objectivity than some of the ones I have read here. First, I have to be honest: I nearly returned this premium Gillette set when I discovered the handle I received was different than the up-close photos in this Amazon listing. I perceived it as a cheapened handle, with fewer rubber grips, than the standard Fusion 5 ProShield razor. The decaled “Gillette” logo on the bottom of the handle also seemed simplified from the inlaid logo on the standard metal handle. But when I tried it out, I realized the handle had a heftier feel, and the part that didn’t have the rubber grip was instead wrapped in a plastic coating that made the metal less slippery. And to be sure, despite some other review I read here, this handle is fully metal, not some “fake metal plastic.” (How do people post this stuff without so much as testing their assumptions?) It's a hardened metal, possibly stainless steel. How do I know? I put a strong magnet to it. Unlike the normal metal Gillette handle, this handled was attracted to the magnet. The weight is also further evidence. I find it odd that Gillette doesn’t specify any of this. As for the gift set, it also contains a travel case and eight cartridges. Again, several reviewers have stated the razor doesn’t fit inside the case. Did they think about removing the clear plastic blade guard on the razor cartridge? Without the guard, the razor and attached cartridge fit perfectly. (The blade guard isn’t needed, except for handling and installing a new cartridge, though for anyone who wants to travel with the guard can set it in one of the two indents straddling the handle in the case.) Until I bought this set, I hadn’t tried the ProShield cartridges. For the past 15 or so years, I had been using my gold-colored Fusion 5 handle with the original ProGlide cartridges (which only have the lubricant strip across the top). In combination with the FlexBall razor handle, the cartridges did a better job than my old razor on my face contours. Note, I only use a razor to shape my beard, so I don’t shave as much or often as most guys, so I’m more picky about a razor’s ability to make shaping easier. So why am I giving this a 4-star rating, not a 5? Price. At $47, it’s still just a razor handle and eight cartridges, with a travel case thrown in. Gillette currently prices a package of four cartridges at $20, which frankly is ridiculous. The profit the company has gained due to its market dominance had been obvious, but Gillette opened the door to cheaper competitors in recent years. (I also have a Harry’s premium razor and use it on occasion to trim the cost of shaving over time.) That’s not to say I want Gillette to make cheaper-quality razors. But do razor cartridges really need to cost $5 each? If Harry’s can do it for half that price, obviously not. On the other hand, assuming the gift set has $40 worth of cartridges, a hard-metal razor and travel case for less than $10 more seems like a deal. I guess I can look at it that way. One final point I found mystifying in product reviews I have read: that the Gillette Fusion 5 razor handle becomes obsolete with the introduction of these newer cartridges. Um, no. The handle introduced in 2006 works with the ProShield cartridges of today. So you don’t need to buy the newer FlexBall design. But after so many years of going from Atra, to Sensor, to Mach 3, to Fusion 5, I was finally ready for a change. I’m sure that my new handle won’t become obsolete in my lifetime.

I recently started shaving my head. My skin is somewhat sensitive, and I have been shaving my face with cheap, disposable razors. I can get away with this because I only shave every 3 days or so, and never against the grain. Cheap razors were not working for my head, where I had to shave against the grain to get the look I wanted. The Gillette ProGlide works extremely well. I am able to get a very close shave without skin irritation and without going over the same spot repeatedly - once with the grain, once against, done. The only downside to the product are the price of replacement blades, but you get what you pay for...

Found this same razor and blazes in a big box store many years ago and have been trying to find them again. Had not been able to find this razor handle and blades anywhere except Amazon. You will love these razors, better than any other similar razor, it is very smooth and has lubricating straps on all sides making the shave extremely smooth. Love this as I have a very heavy and thick beard, and the lubricating strips reduce and eliminate the pulling and ripping I feel from normal blades. Coming back to get more of these in the future.

These are awesome. Stay sharp for a long time.

Good value with Prime
