Smooth as silk skin with Gillette® SkinGuard

This post is in partnership with Gillette’s new SkinGuard razor new at Walmart today.

Luxurious silk may not be synonymous with military life but regulation and roughing it is. Basic military regulation requires service members to be clean shaven at all times when in uniform and/or the workplace. A great shaving system is as necessary as your uniform or issued combat gear. With that amount of shaving, skin can be left raw, irritated and with razor bumps.

My husband has incredibly dark, coarse facial hair which leaves him with rough skin and a shadow just hours after shaving. He has been through every razor in existence. Electric, manual, disposable and even straight razors. All kinds and all brands. Guess what works best for him? Not many. Not for his facial hair. So he works with what ‘will do’, going through blades as fast as running water.

One clear winner out of every product he has tried is Gillette. For both him and I, it is the most favorable and effective shaving brand. When I found Gillette® SkinGuard and the PURE by Gillette shaving gel at Walmart, he was excited to try something new.h

Gillette® SkinGuard is their first razor specifically designed for men with sensitive skin who suffer from frequent razor bumps and irritation. Its unique SkinGuard bar is positioned between the blades to minimize “tug and pull” and cut hair at skin level, helping to prevent razor burn. The precision trimmer on the back is great for hard-to-reach areas and styling facial hair.

What’s The Verdict?

So far so good for my husband. Waking at 5am to go to PT and then onto work doesn’t allow him the time to use a straight razor daily. Training in the field or being away on other duties gives him even less time. His new Gillette razor has kept him hair (and irritation) free while giving him the extra time in the morning to have his cup of coffee before a grueling day.

If your spouse or service member’s skin is suffering from frequent shaving whether in the military or not, be sure to head straight to Walmart to pick up your Skin Guard kit today!
