Minimize Shaving Irritation with Gillette SkinGuard

**Full Disclosure: This post is in partnership with Gillette’s new SkinGuard razor – new at Walmart.

I met Larry while he was serving in the U.S. Army. He was bald headed, clean-shaven and I thought he was so handsome! One day we started talking about what made him choose to shave his head and he told me the story of how he’d had a full head of hair as a child but by the time he joined the service, he’d developed a balding spot. During his time in basic training, Larry decided he would start shaving his head as soon as he was allowed. Larry has always been a Gillette razor guy but the frequent shaving required by the military can be tough, especially for sensitive skin. Gillette SkinGuard is the perfect razor for men, like Larry, who experience razor bumps and razor burns because of sensitive skin – SkinGuard is specifically designed to prevent skin irritation.

Because he worked a mid-shift, Larry didn’t have to get up early. When he finally climbed out of bed, he would eat breakfast before showering, shaving his face, putting on his BDUs and heading to work. Larry had to shave his face daily back then to stay out of trouble, but only shaved his head twice a week.

When it came time to decide if he was going to re-enlist, we decided that it would be best if he didn’t. He moved from doing intel for the Army to working on maps in the civilian world. And since his work dress code isn’t nearly as strict as the military, he’s grown a very scruffy beard but he still shaves his head twice a week.

About once a week, he trims his beard to keep his neck from getting too itchy. After trying the Gillette SkinGuard and PURE by Gillette shaving cream, we can both see a difference in the way his skin looks and feels – it’s softer and smoother than before.
