For optimal performance, clean your razor regularly, rinsing it after every few strokes. Always let the water run through the cartridge from the back to the front to remove any trapped hairs. Don't tap it on a hard surface to dislodge hairs or water, as that will damage the cartridge. Also, never wipe it on a towel to remove moisture, as that can shorten the life of the PROBLADES. Instead, gently shake off excess water and leave it to air dry. Store it safely, preferably vertically in a designated holder like a razor stand or a mini hanger. If you're travelling, for protection and convenience, take your razor with you in the ProGlide Travel Case which is designed for durability.
How often should you replace ProShield Power PROBLADES?
ProShield Power blades are designed to be long-lasting. You'll know it's time to change your PROBLADES if the shave feels less comfortable. To change your razor cartridge, simply push the yellow and black easy-release button at the back of the head and press a new cartridge into place. When you hear the click, you're good to go! To be sure that you've always got replacement blades to hand, subscribe to the Gillette Club. The 'starter kit' comes with a handle, cartridge, shave gel and a travel case, and you'll get regular deliveries of refills. For best results, alongside ProShield PROBLADES we recommend applying a Gillette PRO Sensitive prep.
Key Benefits
Gillette's sharpest blades for a reduced-friction shave
ProShield cartridges contain low cutting force blades (*blades 1 to 4), coated with an anti-friction layer. Thinner than a surgeon's scalpel, the blades cut with low resistance, minimising tug and pull. Resting on a spring-mounted base, the blades automatically adapt to skin irregularities, offering a clean, close and comfortable shave.
Outstanding lubrication to cushion the skin
Gillette's iconic Lubrastrip provides the ProShield Power cartridge with lubrication both before and after the blades. Made from pre-lubricated material, this yellow, cushioning Lubrastrip is activated when wet, slowly releasing its ingredients to offer a slick, smooth glide and help shield the skin from irritation.
Innovative microcomb for optimal cutting
ProShield Power cartridges feature a microcomb, positioned between the microfins and the blades. The microslots are designed to gently guide the hairs to the blades, preparing them for optimal cutting, reducing tug and pull. Helping the blades capture virtually every hair, the microcomb is a feature of Gillette's most advanced cartridges.
Blade stabilisation for shaving performance
The innovative blade stabiliser featured on the ProShield Power's cartridge helps to maintain an optimal distance between the 5 blades. Positioned in the centre of the cartridge, this unique feature is designed to prevent the blades from moving laterally, helping to manage skin bulging in to the blades. This short and accurate distance makes for a low-friction, comfortable shave.
