Gillette ProGlide Shield Shaving Set (1 razor + 9 replacement cartridges)

Gillette ProGlide Shield Shaving Set (1 Razor + 9 Replacement Cartridges)

Regular Shaving Set

Gillette ProGlide Shield is a men's shaving set that includes one reusable razor and nine replacement cartridges. This format allows you to get the razor handle and a supply of cartridges for subsequent replacement.

ProGlide Shield cartridges are equipped with five blades and a lubrication system on both sides of the blade area. The design is intended for shaving with less resistance when moving across the skin and maintaining close contact of the blades with the hair.

Features of ProGlide Shield Cartridges

Each replacement cartridge has five blades. Lubricating elements are located before and after the blades, helping to reduce friction during shaving. The manufacturer also provides a MicroComb to guide hairs to the blades and a Microfin Guard, which preps the skin before the cutting zone.

The cartridge design includes:

• 5 blades;
• lubricating strips before and after the blades;
• MicroComb;
• Microfin Guard;
• precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge.

The trimmer is designed for areas where more precise shaving and contouring are required, including the mustache area, sideburns, and other hard-to-reach zones.

Lubrication System

A feature of the ProGlide Shield is the presence of lubrication before and after the blades. This design helps reduce friction between the cartridge and the skin during razor movement.

The lubricating strip is an indicator: as it is used, it gradually loses its properties, allowing you to gauge the cartridge's condition and replace it in a timely manner.

Five Blades

The ProGlide Shield cartridge uses five blades, spaced optimally. This configuration is designed to achieve a clean result with fewer passes over the same skin area.

For the user, this is particularly convenient for regular facial shaving, when it is necessary to treat the cheeks, chin, neck, and area around the mouth, and then perform more precise contouring with the trimmer.

MicroComb and Microfin Guard

The ProGlide Shield design includes additional elements that work directly before the blades.

MicroComb guides hairs to the cutting part of the cartridge, helping the blades to sequentially capture them.

Microfin Guard smooths the skin surface before the blades pass. Combined with the lubricating elements, these components are part of the ProGlide Shield design, aimed at comfortable cartridge movement across the skin.

Precision Trimmer

A separate precision trimmer is located on the back of the cartridge. It is intended for targeted work where the main block of five blades is less convenient to use.

With its help, you can work on:

• the area under the nose;
• sideburns;
• beard edges;
• mustache contours;
• other small areas requiring more precise control.

Compatibility

ProGlide Shield replacement cartridges belong to the Gillette Fusion system. They are compatible with Gillette handles with five blades in the Fusion series, except for GilletteLabs.

Thus, the set can be used as a ready-to-use shaving kit: one handle serves as the system's base, and the nine included cartridges are replaceable working elements.

Who It's For

The set is intended for men using a reusable razor with replaceable cartridges.

It is especially convenient for those who need:

• regular facial shaving;
• five blades in one cartridge;
• a separate trimmer for contouring;
• lubricating elements before and after the blades;
• a large supply of replacement cartridges;
• one handle with the possibility of subsequent cartridge replacement.

How to Use

Before shaving, the skin and hair should be moistened with water and shaving product applied. After installing the cartridge, the razor is smoothly moved across the shaving area, periodically rinsing the cartridge with water to remove cut hairs and product.

For precise treatment of small areas, the precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge can be used.

After use, it is recommended to rinse the cartridge with water and let it dry. The cartridge should be replaced when the blades start to work less comfortably or the lubricating element loses its working properties.

Stock of Nine Replacement Cartridges

The main practical advantage of the set is the number of consumable elements. Along with one handle, the user receives 9 replacement cartridges, so after the installed cartridge wears out, there is no need to immediately purchase a new package.

Each cartridge is designed for an individual period of use. The actual duration depends on the frequency of shaving, hair stiffness, and usage features. For ProGlide Shield, the manufacturer indicates a resource of one cartridge for up to 30 shaves under certain usage conditions.
