What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Gillette SkinGuard
Best Praise
+3 pts“The bet is to pack a cheap safety razor and disassemble it into parts so they don't take that and then buy blades when you land if possible but if you only do short trips it's not economical. I would just buy a disposable single blade razor or a 2 blade razor if you can't find them. The only cartridge I would buy is the skin guard as it doesn't do the whole cut under the skin thing. You could also just buy an electric shaver like the Philips oneblade as that's very similar to using a razor or you can use a foil or rotary if you are into that.”

+1 pts“Hmm I can't imagine it doing that. It's very mild and I have no issues with it. Skingaurd is the best cartridge but still causes me issues so it definitely isn't for absolutely everyone.”
