Most razor blades simply cut hair and leave skin to cope with the aftermath; SKiN by Gillette Exfoliating Razor Blades actively prepare and cushion the skin with every stroke. The result is a closer, more comfortable shave that helps reduce post-shave irritation, bumps and roughness in one streamlined step.

These cartridges combine Gillette’s precision blade engineering with a built-in exfoliating bar and a lubricating strip infused with skincare-inspired ingredients. PEG polymers support glide and stability, while grape seed and avocado oils provide emollient comfort. Aloe leaf juice powder offers soothing benefits, helping calm the feel of skin during and after shaving.

The exfoliating bar has a gently buffing texture that feels controlled rather than abrasive, sweeping away debris that can interfere with the blades. The lubricating strip melts into a light, conditioning veil that maintains slip without feeling greasy. Each cartridge is designed to deliver a consistently close shave across multiple uses when rinsed and cared for correctly.

Use these blades with the compatible SKiN by Gillette handle for best control and balance. Let the exfoliating bar lead, using light pressure and steady strokes in the direction that feels most comfortable for your skin. Rinse frequently to maintain glide and to keep the exfoliating action precise and hygienic.

Integrated exfoliating bar helps lift dead skin and trapped debris so blades contact hair more directly.Lubricating strip with aloe and plant oils supports glide and comfort across each pass.Blade geometry is engineered to cut efficiently at the skin’s surface, minimising repeated strokes.Stable cartridge design maintains contact with contours, supporting even pressure distribution.

For an optimised routine, pair these exfoliating cartridges with SKiN by Gillette shave gel or foam and follow with a calming post-shave moisturiser from the same range. Together they support a comfortable shave from preparation through to aftercare.

• Step 5. Shave first in the direction that feels most comfortable, then, if your skin tolerates it, use short, gentle strokes across remaining rough areas.
• Step 6. Rinse skin with cool water, pat dry with a clean towel and follow with a soothing, fragrance-light moisturiser.

Pro Tips

• Let the razor do the work; pressing too hard can reduce glide and increase the risk of irritation.
• Rinse the cartridge under strong running water after each use and store it in a dry place to maintain performance.
• Shave towards the end of a warm shower, when hair is fully softened for easier cutting.
• If you are prone to bumps, give skin a rest day between shaves and always use fresh, sharp cartridges.
