i have sensitive skin, which shaving oil is best suited for my skin?

You might be as tough as a maths exam, but it doesn’t mean you don’t feel the sting of sensitive skin. Face Guard Extra Sensitive Shave Oil has been created specifically with sensitive skin in mind, protecting from cuts, irritation and razor burn. It’s absolutely packed with soothing natural ingredients like argan oil and aloe vera, which penetrate deeply into the skin for a rash-free, ultra-close shave.


Face Guard Extra Sensitive Shave Oil includes our 3-in-1 Tri-Tech anti-rash formula, giving you the same effects as individual shaving creams, moisturisers and after-shave balms. Honestly, why would you do three things when you could just do one?

how do i prevent a shaving rash, irritation?

You ever see those movies where the tough guys shave with just a little water? Yeah, that’s not a great idea. We don’t recommend that.


To prevent shaving rash and irritation, the key is to get in early and treat your skin with care. Face Guard products are loaded with soothing natural ingredients that help the skin at every shaving stage, from pre-shave solutions to after-shave balms.


Start with the Face Guard Pre-Electric Shave Solution, which creates a protective barrier between your skin and your shaver. Our Face Guard Shave Oil and Face Guard Extra Sensitive Shave Oil use the 3-in-1 Tri-Tech anti-rash formula to keep your skin fresh at every stage of shaving.

how do i clean my shaver?

Keeping your shaver clean not only gets you a better, closer shave, but it’s great for the health of both you and your shaver.


Regularly treating your shaver with Shaver Guard extends the life of foils and cutters, keeps blades sharper for longer, and makes it easy to get that ultra-close shave. Our cosmetic grade silicone lubricant means that every shave is as smooth and easy as the last.


Shaver Guard breaks down the creams, oils and hair that builds up on your shaver. Whether you’re using dry shavers, wet shavers, clippers or trimmers, Shaver Guard’s antibacterial formula means that your skin will stay as clean as your shaver.

what product can i use on my beard or coarse hair?

Coarse hair means beard coverage that’ll make your friends jealous. When it comes time to shave, though, it can feel like your face is fighting against you. Can’t we all just get along?


We’ve designed our Face Guard Tough Beard Shave Oil for thick beards and coarse hair. With a formulation of peppermint, eucalyptus and aloe vera, Face Guard Tough Beard Shave Oil penetrates and softens coarse hair making it easy to achieve a perfect, close shave.


Face Guard Tough Beard Shave Oil also uses our 3-in-1 Tri-Tech anti-rash formula, combining the soothing effects of shaving creams, moisturisers, and after-shave balms into one package.

can you use a rotary shaver on long or thick hair?

Using a rotary shaver on long or thick hair can be one of the best techniques for getting a great shave. With its flexible pivoting head and ultra-thin, dual cutting blades, our Elite PRO Wet/Dry Electric Shaver works just as well on thick hair as it does on other hair types.


Rotary styles can be very effective on tougher hair, particularly if you have a beard that grows in different directions. The flexibility of the head means that difficult to shave areas like the chin and neck are just as accessible. Our Elite PRO Wet/Dry Electric Shaver is 100% waterproof, so no matter how you shave, you’ll be covered.


While rotary shavers are fantastic on many hair types, we recommend those with sensitive skin opt for a foil shaver.
