Each cartridge features 5 long-lasting, super-sharp PROBLADES™ that cut hairs up to 5 times in a single stroke for smooth, clean results. The innovative spring-base mount adapts to different shaving areas, even on tricky contours like the chin and jawline. An orange Lubrastrip, pre-lubricated and activated by water, softens the skin for a slick glide and enhanced comfort. The Lubrastrip indicator fades from orange to white, signaling when it's time to replace the blade. To maintain blade longevity, rinse blades gently after use, removing shaved hairs. Avoid tapping razors on hard surfaces or wiping them on towels, as this can damage the blades. After shaving, rinse the razor and allow it to dry completely before storage.
This guide is for users of the Gillette ProGlide Razor Blades, offering a smooth and comfortable shaving experience. The blades feature five precision blades and a lubricating strip for enhanced glide. Note that while these blades are designed for multiple uses, blade longevity depends on proper care and shaving technique.
