With lubrication before and after the blades, Gillette’s latest razor shields skin against irritation from unconscious, multiple or unintentional re-strokes. Prices below.
The new Gillette Fusion ProShield razor promises to protect your face as you shave.
Global shave care leader Gillette today revealed the Gillette Fusion ProShield.
According to a study by Gillette, most men take about 170 strokes while shaving.
Two variations of the Fusion ProShield Razor are available: the Standard (Yellow), and the Chill with Cooling Technology (Blue).
ProShield blade cartridges fit on all Fusion and ProGlide razor handles.
However, many men shave on auto-pilot and can re-stroke up to 120 times during the shave, after the initial 50 strokes wipe away most of the shave gel, unintentionally causing irritation.
To combat this problem, the new Gillette ProShield features a new Lubrication Bar before the blades, in addition to the Lubrastrip after the blades, to shield skin from irritation.
