1. Aside from the number of blades, what are the key differences between Gillette 2-bladed and 3-bladed disposable razors?

The key differences between Gillette 2-bladed and 3-bladed disposable razors are the additional fin guards, the cartridge's open architecture and the design of the 3-bladed razor's handle. The fin guard of a Gillette 3-bladed disposable razor stretches the skin and prepares the hair to be cut. The open architecture allows easier rinsing than our 2-bladed disposables. Due to soft elastomer grips, the advanced 3-bladed disposable handle provides better control and maneuverability.

2. How important is the number of blades for a disposable razor?

In the case of a 2-bladed disposable razor vs. a 3-bladed disposable razor, the third blade can cut already extended hair. Gillette's 3-bladed products utilize Gillette's progressive geometry and three spring mounted blades for a close and smooth shave. Both the 2-bladed and 3-bladed disposable razor blades are chromium coated for long lasting blades.
