Thank you, Mr Tony, for reminding us again that we "are shaving, not digging". Coincidentally, yesterday i got carried away while shaving my cheek.. i tugged it.
Kelleyanna Rankins Very well. I have tried it with the power handle as well. They work very seamlessly. I enjoy the power handles honestly. The glide is smoother and you don’t realise till you use it with the power turned off.
I use the Gillette foam and I really like it. I've never seen the foam mousse though. Tony, you're making shaving fun and interesting again. Thank you!
Hi, I follow you from Italy. I don't understand everything you say because my english is entry-level , but I like your reviews. Congratulations, greetings!
The reason you suffer from ingrown hairs is because you’re cutting them too short - under the skin’s surface. SKINGUARD is designed to stop this by leaving the stubble a touch longer. You can shave against the grain, but use light pressure and limit your passes-/ let me know if it works.
Whats the difference between the skinguard and the neck shaver? So far the skin guard is my favorite but I never tried the neck shaver they look the same.
It probably depends on what DE razor your are comparing it too. Probably better than an aggressive one and maybe worse or more comparable to a very mild one.
The ever increasing price of razor cartridges forced me to switch to a safety razor. The blades are cheap. I bought a box for a few bucks, which will last me years. I gave up the shaving cream for warm water. Then I apply Old Spice aftershave. That’s all there is to it for some of us. Wish it was that simple for the rest of you.
ive been following your channel for a while. i used electric shavers in the past to avoid in grown hairs. but its tooo messy. hair all over the sink. I started shaving with bic cheap one razor ... works out i use the blade twice every other two days then toss it....im very satisfied. but afterwards, i do a face scrub with salicylic acid helps 10/10 times
I may give one of these a shot just to see.... I shave daily and have a very coarse beard.... great video! I use EDGE Aloe with the green lid from Schick. I love that stuff, it's worked better on my skin that anything. I loved the Gillette Sensor, is the Skinguard remotely close to it?
The SKINGUARD is similar to sensor in the fact that it has two blades, but the plastic guard keeps the blade gap wide enough to prevent irritation, nicks and cuts. I really enjoy the SKINGUARD shave.
I really love the safety razors and am getting into shaving and stuff like that. I would (still do at times) use regular Gillette 5 blade cartriges, the progilde or the fusion 5, something very generic and easy to use. The only issue is the price for the cartrige. Today, I had to shave with the Gillette razor because I didn't shave today for a day or two and my chin hair felt very spiky and irritating and painful and the chin area is a huge problem area for me and the mustache too. I switch out the razors from time to time with the De safety razor, Harry's, Gillette or sometimes a Philips rotary razor. I know in the shaving community, using cartridge razors are kind of a taboo, but I like to try various razors and I am also a sucker for marketing! Great vid!!
lmao sorry Tony that music playing got me thinking of 1970´s adult movies love the skin guard oh i didn't think about that using another handle for the power gonna try that sometime...great video stay safe cheers...Peter
AFAIK, Gillette Mach 3 has been featured in Mr Tony's channel (here of course) quite alot. in fact, it was in 10 days shave challenge conducted quite awhile ago. Me myself like it(Mach3) so much. But i've got a new favourite since yesterday which is (fusion) 5 Sport.
Nice video friend! I like Gillette skinguard. Only 2 blade.smoot shave.i shave my head with Gillette skinguard or fusion prosheild flexball chill. But skinguard no razor bumps, ingrow hair. Fantastic.
Hey I just came across your channel looking at your review of the Gillette labs heated razor. I really appreciate you doing this but was wondering how you feel about single blade safety razors vs cartridge razors. I’m really looking into the heated Gillette but does the cartridge do anything better then the Mach 3?
The heated razor is a true luxury - the Mach 3 is a solid razor and one of my favorites. As fo the the DE razor - you have to get one in your arsenal for sure 🪒
Thank you for reminding us men that we are the ones to be blamed for irritating our skins because of wrestling with our faces instead of simply shaving them. However, finally I solved my irritation problem with buying a Panasonic ES-ST25 - Shaver which works like a charm. Irritation gone and I can shave anywhere almost like a Gillette experience. Please think about reviewing electrical shavers 'cause they will solve many men's problem with the irritation. Thank you for the videos and the efforts. Keep on doing the nice job.
Wow Tony! Thanks for the shout-out ❤️ love your videos thank you for the knowledge & information you provide to us. A beer on me if we ever cross paths 😅 Best regards, P.S. I picked up the shick hydro sense 5 let's see if it tops the pro-shield
Brutha Tony, I must thank you for the how to shave tips you gave in this video. I've been using Andis neck liners for years to shave my face, neck & head. But lately I've been rocking the smooth face but with just my wavy salt'n pepper hair only on my chin. Not that crazy 3/4 goatee some dudes wear! No mustache & soul patch, just a hairy horse shoe around your mouth🤣 looks crazy to me but I digress! So I've been digging this style because it basically shows your face but just enough well manicured salt'n pepper hair on your chin so they call you Mister 😁 But I got tired of scraping my face with those neck liners & been wanting to try this Gillette Skin Guard razor but I've never used a razor in all my 55yrs of living. I watched this video about 10 or 15 times & I went on & bought this razor from Amazon & it came with 4 razors. Good price too! I'm a Bump Patrol fan & they've came out with a full line catered to black men & men with sensitive skin. I got the pre-shave lotion & the shaving gel. I've already been using the after shave & moisturizer. Stuff is the truth! But I did everything you said to do & did in your video. Just kinda feather it & don't pull your skin tight, just let the razor do it's thing following my hair pattern & then go back up against the grain on my neck & jaw line to finish it off. Tony my man, i am smooth like butta! I haven't been this smooth since my Royal Crown days. It's like that Magic Shave powder & funky as a mofo🤣 My dad used it so I used it. Good stuff but man is it messy. So after I jumped out the shower, I slapped on the Bump Patrol after shave & yes my face was smoking a little bit but this stuff is good! Then slap on the moisturizer & I'm smooth & good to go! Now I do make it apart of my wash up to use a soft bristle brush along with "Palmer's natural cocoa butter cream soap" and exfoliate every day in the shower. Get that deep down oil & dirt out and keep an even skin tone year around like I've been in Florida!😁 Tony you've shown a 55yr old man how to shave with a razor for my 1st time & I thank you my brutha. No more scraping my face with those neck liners! Stay safe & be blessed & Happy Holiday's to you & your family 💯👍🏿✊🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for your extensive video, Not even Gillette spends that much time on their product commercials ;-) I am always looking for a convenient shave. For a long time I used Fusion 5 which last very long. Then I started using the thinner blades Fusion 5 Proglide, which shaves better, but lasts less longer unfortunatelly, so it becomes more expensive! Now I am ready to try Skinguard Sensitive which seems a whole new ball game. Will I need more attention and preparation for my daily shave with this system? And how long do they last in comparison to the othe two?
Thank you for the kind words! Yes - SKINGUARD is a really interesting system. I haven’t given it a long term test, but I’d bet it will last at least 15 shaves. Once you get your beard acclimated it’s all smooth sailing. Just remember it won’t give you the glass-like BBS that Fusion offers, but it’s a great quick and easy nick and irritation free option.
I highly advise everyone to get rid of these terrible multi-blade plastic gillette razors & transition to single blade mild safety razors suitable for beginners.
Tips for avoiding ingrown hairs Use a safety razor Use a sharp de blade Dont press too hard Exfoliate Hydrate properly Dont use multiblade razors Apply toner such as aftershave splash or alum block Dont shave againts the grain.
I hear you, but I said that in the video - if you suffer from ingrown hairs STOP after one pass. If you don’t - like me, move on to pass number two. The statement that you “should never shave against the grain” is not not my advice to most and is contrary to my advice. Do you boo!
I like the concept of this razor but I just can’t stand the stubble the fact that it’s not cutting all the hair off. It’s OK during the day but when I’m sleeping, I can feel the hair is pulling against my pillow. That’s why I want a clean safe and would rather use a multi guard razor And just try other to prevent the ingrown hairs sorry but I just cannot use this razor
Nice shave! Irritation is a BITCH!! Looking forward to seeing that FM BRUSH... Every package that arrives at my door I get excited only to open it and see new socks for my daughter or other weird stuff. lol 😝
Thank you, Mr Tony, for reminding us again that we "are shaving, not digging".
Coincidentally, yesterday i got carried away while shaving my cheek.. i tugged it.
Thanks! Be careful 🪒
I got 8 cartridge of Gillette skinguard with fusion proglide flexball razor it's awesome.
I agree!
Brah!! I did a Shave with this same blade and Special edition Fusion handle today
😂😂😂🪒
How did it work brah?
Kelleyanna Rankins Very well. I have tried it with the power handle as well. They work very seamlessly. I enjoy the power handles honestly. The glide is smoother and you don’t realise till you use it with the power turned off.

Hi, I follow you from Italy.
I don't understand everything you say because my english is entry-level , but I like your reviews.
Congratulations, greetings!
Thanks Andrea! Greetings from New York!
Can you compare the closeness of the skinguard vs the Philips oneblade?
Sure
What’s up? Getting my hands on this tomorrow, I’m still tired of the UK and saving for New York!!
👍🏽
I suffer from ingrown hairs pretty bad… Can I shave against the grain with this razor and get no ingrown hairs since it doesn’t shave too close?
The reason you suffer from ingrown hairs is because you’re cutting them too short - under the skin’s surface. SKINGUARD is designed to stop this by leaving the stubble a touch longer. You can shave against the grain, but use light pressure and limit your passes-/ let me know if it works.
@@averageguytested I appreciate the advice! Will let you know how it goes… Excellent content by the way 👍🏾
@@FleeceItOutHow’s it going?
Whats the difference between the skinguard and the neck shaver?
So far the skin guard is my favorite but I never tried the neck shaver they look the same.
They are the same. The Neck Shaver is just a rebranded version of SKINGUARD. I do like the King C handle better.
LOVE this, just got a 12 pack after trying out 10+ carts and they're amazing for a DFS
👍🏽
Is this better for razor bumps than a safety de razor?
Good question. I’d say yes.
It probably depends on what DE razor your are comparing it too. Probably better than an aggressive one and maybe worse or more comparable to a very mild one.
The ever increasing price of razor cartridges forced me to switch to a safety razor. The blades are cheap. I bought a box for a few bucks, which will last me years.

Great channel. I shave everyday. Is there a razor you can recommend for sensitive skin besides skinguard?
Try the stubble eraser by Schick - it’s a delight.

Can you try the defender razor
Done 👍🏽
can this give a clean shave look
It can, but not as close as a traditional blade.
Hey Tony, can u describe a bit the Gillette Foamy scent? Would love to try that one, but they're only available online in my country. Thank you!
Yes - it has a fresh, clean old school barber shop smell. It lathers up well, but not too thick, which I really like.
@@averageguytested nice~ I purchased it just now. Can't wait to try it!

We are all suckers for good marketing, my friend and like you - I enjoy shaving with all types of products. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Hi, thanks for the tips! Between the Mach 3 and the Skinguard, which is your favorite razor?
Mach3 all day.
So fewer blades = less risk during shaving. So would you say that a quality, well engineered safety razor is one of your best bets on the market?
Yes, but it requires a bit of technique and patience.
lmao sorry Tony that music playing got me thinking of 1970´s adult movies love the skin guard oh i didn't think about that using another handle for the power gonna try that sometime...great video stay safe cheers...Peter

I don’t do much manscaping. I’ve done a video about it in the recent past. I’ll look for it and post the link here soon.

Yes, but that’s a whole new skill level and I’m not sure I can pull it off.
