The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the improvement in overall shave satisfaction, the appearance of skin irritation from shaving, and the razor related inflammation of the hair follicles when using a new razor technology in a regular shaving regimen as well as a new razor technology in a shaving regimen that includes a pre-shave gel, cleansing brush and shaving gel.

Full description
