Great video. Aren't the replacement cartridges for the exfoliating and heated razor moreorless the same? I tried the one bladed Gillette guard razor you reviewed some weeks ago and I think it is excellent. Wish there were more one blade cartridge razors on the market.
Hi Edward. Thanks so much for the comment. Yes, just tried and the two are interchangeable. The heated has blue strips both sides whereas the exfoliating only has a white strip on one side.
The exfoliating feature might not be suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.The Gillette Labs exfoliating razor offers an innovative approach to shaving with its built-in exfoliating bar. However, its higher price point and limited user experience data might make it less appealing to some consumers.
Yeah. Agree. All of these ideas are for sub sections of their market I guess. It worked well for me. Better than others but could be different for someone else.
Best razor on the market!!! Blades are pricey but it's worth every penny! I use mine every single morning.... paired with Gillette labs gel or the Gillette Pro Series.
Hi Matt. Apologies, I should have given you a shout out as it was your suggestion. Yes - I think I agree that it is better than the ProGlide as a daily shave. Not much in it but the ProGlide seemed to deal with 3 days growth a tiny bit easier. I have some of the gel - again thanks to your recommendation. It is decent stuff. Smells great. I'll maybe do a video on creams / gels at some point. Thanks again for your comments.
@@sharpshaves The Pro-Glide is great!!! Nothing wrong with it at all!!! I Still use mine sometimes!!! I have gotten one can of the labs gel that was sub-par. It smelled musty and required a bit of water.... but I just figured it was one bad can.... I won't hate them for it.
Hi Steve. Thanks for the comment. I'm up for trying anything ! I've got the Gillette Labs gel. It's pretty good. I'll do a video on it. Yes, need to get onto the other razors too. I'll let you know when I do. Cheers
Thanks for making this video. My Dad bought one of these and we have no idea how to put the blade on. Any chance you could make a quick video or let us know how we can put attach the blade? Thanks so much!
I actually like them both. The Exfoliating razor is a great shave, but i hate the fact that technically the blades are proprietary. You can only use its blades or the heated blades. But nevertheless, both provide good shaves for a cartridge razor. JimG
Hi Jim. Cheers for the comment. Yes it is a decent shave. I feel like very few of the razors I try out have interchangeable blades. They all want you to think theirs is better and keep you hooked on them. That's what got me started trying to find the best one.
Hi there. I've never tried a chemical peel. Not even sure what one is to be honest. I doubt this does anything like that though. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Desperate Dan. No. Not yet. Have so many to try. I won't forget though. Ha. Yes, I don't blame you on not fancying the Exfoliating Razor. I was pleasantly surprised though to be honest.
Currently £15 with gel and face cream box set in Sainsbury's 🎉 blades expensive so it's a case of wait for price cut. I still use Mach 3... I reckon after that Gillette were pretending more blades is good for you 😮
That sounds like it was a cracking deal. Yeah. My search started when they stopped doing the old sensor. Lots of marketing spin and gimmicks really now. The best shaves have been the most simple really.
@@sharpshaves I just ordered geo thumper sandlewood cream after seeing another video of yours. I look forward to trying it as I'm sick of using gunk from canisters... Gonna up my game 😂
Fantastic. I should definitely be on commission for that stuff. Keen to see what you think. I really love it. You only need a little bit. It will last you months
Hi yes - I was careful to put new ones in each when I was comparing. I used the same cream. Also compared using Gillette gel. Really not much in it - but as I say, I think the Exfoliating is a little bit better for a daily shave but the ProGlide just seemed to deal more easily with 3 days growth. Needed 3 weeks for me to reach that conclusion :)
Yes, I completely agree. There is no way it would 'exfoliate' in any substantial way. I do think it is a good shave though. Not megabucks. Less of a gimmick than the heated one. What do you think of the shave? Eg compared to the ProGlide?
You sound like the scientist who said "everything that can be invented has been'. Patent commissioner Duell A multi-billion dollar company will never run out of ideas.
@@sharpshavesI think both the proglide and the labs exfoliating razor offer a very close shave, it would be fair to say that they are probably the best razors on the market
Like everything else, it's a very poor shave compared to the results you get with a cutthroat razor. It's easy to see why - there's nothing between you and the blade, where these cartridges have guards and things so you can't get close to your skin.
Yes. Absolutely. I've only ever had a cutthroat shave at a barber. But it is the closest by far. The more blades and goo bars and the bigger the head, then its harder to get that lovely close feel. Cheers for the comment
@@sharpshaves thanks for not taking that as a criticism of your video. I didn't mean to do that. It surprised me that the old razor still gives the best shave! They do take a bit longer than the others, but you've got to have a bit of time for yourself occasionally!
Just a gimmick the exfoliating bar wearers out just as dose the blades so you will be buying a new one Gillet is all about marketing but there razer s suck
I think you're not wrong. They are a big brand that invests loads in marketing. This one was a fairly decent shave though. Better than the others in my humble opinion. Thanks for the comment
I agree, it's a great shaver and I also upgraded from the same one. No vibrations and no batteries needed! 👍
Cheers crypto guy :-)
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video, great stuff.
👍🏻
Thanks
Great review! Might get one for myself to try it out now 😅
Cheers ! Yes, worth a shot I'd say
Cool you got the special edition exfoliating razor
Thanks Tomas. It's easy to get hold of and not too expensive.
Great video. Aren't the replacement cartridges for the exfoliating and heated razor moreorless the same? I tried the one bladed Gillette guard razor you reviewed some weeks ago and I think it is excellent. Wish there were more one blade cartridge razors on the market.
Hi Edward. Thanks so much for the comment. Yes, just tried and the two are interchangeable. The heated has blue strips both sides whereas the exfoliating only has a white strip on one side.
And yes, the one blade cartridge is a gap to be filled I think with something decent.

That's strange to get a rogue can of gel ! Something fell in the vat at the 'lab' :-)
@sharp have you considered trying the Gillette proshield power razor, also the Gillette range of gels ?
Hi Steve. Thanks for the comment. I'm up for trying anything !
I've got the Gillette Labs gel. It's pretty good. I'll do a video on it.
Yes, need to get onto the other razors too. I'll let you know when I do. Cheers
@@sharpshaves cheers!
Wouldnt it been better if they embedded the green bar on blade as after time razor wiuld ware down and have to buy new razor?
Good review sr. BTW there's anything you can do with the lime excess in your water?? Wow seems rly annoying
Ha. Yeah. Well spotted. It is pretty hard water. You should see my kettle! Cheers for watching and the comment.
Thanks for making this video. My Dad bought one of these and we have no idea how to put the blade on. Any chance you could make a quick video or let us know how we can put attach the blade? Thanks so much!

Does the exfoliating bar give an equivalent or near equivalent results as a chemical peel ?
Hi there. I've never tried a chemical peel. Not even sure what one is to be honest. I doubt this does anything like that though. Thanks for the comment.
I think I might give it a miss, have u got round to trying the Gillette SkinGuard yet?
Cheers🍻🥃
Hi Desperate Dan. No. Not yet. Have so many to try. I won't forget though. Ha. Yes, I don't blame you on not fancying the Exfoliating Razor. I was pleasantly surprised though to be honest.
Hi Desperate Dan. Have been using the SkinGuard for a week or so. Do you like it?
@@sharpshavesthe skinguard is nowhere near as good
This channel is fre😊aking🦆🦆 ing awesome 😎! I Learnt Heaps 💡🧠! Thanks Mr Sharp!
What a lovely comment !! Thanks so much. Really pleased it is useful. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Cheers !
Thanks for the review! Can you compare the Gillette Exfoliating razor with the Proglide Power version?
I'll see how much the powered Proglide is and try and get one. Cheers for the suggestion
Dang great build up on the handle maybe cleaing up the handles
Ha. Yes. They don't get much love from me
@@sharpshaves oi
It takes a while for your skin to adjust but a Lady told me that I looked a lot younger using The Gillette Labs Razor but expensive Refills.
Well Biggles. What cost is that? A lady saying you look younger is worth a hefty price in cartridges !
@@sharpshaves Very true Sir but I run a mile when say they say they need a Dad for their Kids !

going back to fusion
Tell me more? Why? Back to Fusion from what? Keen to hear more. Cheers for the comment
New blades on both razors?
Hi yes - I was careful to put new ones in each when I was comparing. I used the same cream. Also compared using Gillette gel. Really not much in it - but as I say, I think the Exfoliating is a little bit better for a daily shave but the ProGlide just seemed to deal more easily with 3 days growth.

try the new leaf razor
Thanks. Just looking at it now. It looks good. Quite an expense. Have you tried it?
i don't a leaf i have ikon and r89 derby black are better than the green ones $20//// 200 Larry.
Gillette says the green exfoliating bar will last 5 years. We'll see eventually I guess lol.
I just got it, does not impress me, not bad not better either.
Hi ! Thanks for the comment. Yeah. It's pretty good compared to other Gillette I think. Have you got any recommendations? Cheers again
I think the "exfoliating bar" is a gimmick, the act of shaving itself exfoliates the skin. Gillette is running out of ideas.
Yes, I completely agree. There is no way it would 'exfoliate' in any substantial way. I do think it is a good shave though. Not megabucks. Less of a gimmick than the heated one. What do you think of the shave? Eg compared to the ProGlide?
shaving brush is the thing the exfoliates before the shave

Not at all. Didn't seem critical in any way. I'm always up for feedback and new ideas anyway.

Wasn’t impressed with it for shaving the head
I'm sorry but can't really comment on head shaving despite being a bit grey I tend to leave my dome alone. Cheers for the comment
That lather is pathetic, why bother lathering with a brush if you're not going to hydrate it properly?
Ha yes, you are right, Fart. It was a bit rubbish. Rushing it is no good. Cheers for the comment
@fartzerelli1385 …oh good the shave police is here to tell everyone if we don’t do it like them it’s not correct. How lucky we are. Smh 🤦♂️
Brilliant !!!! :-D
@@lukejodoin3449
It's not shaving police, you get much better shaves when you hydrate your lather, it's better for your razor too
Just a gimmick the exfoliating bar wearers out just as dose the blades so you will be buying a new one
