As barbershops remain closed across the nation, and men are desperately seeking help on how to maintain their look when they can’t see their barbers we joined Gillette to get some grooming tips. Their celebrity barbers Barry Hairston (barber to Seth Curry and Marcus Spears) and Josh Pereira (barber to athletes including Gordon Hayward and Kyle Van Noy) shared some at-home tips, achievable styles and favorite tools to help you find a new at-home grooming routine you’re comfortable with.

As Barry Hairston says“For guys who are hesitant to use a cartridge razor because they get razor bumps or redness, I always recommend the Gillette SkinGuard razor which is specifically designed for guys with sensitive skin. This is my go-to razor for a comfortable shave. When shaving, I like to rinse the cartridge in hot water under the faucet after every 4-5 stokes to avoid the blade from clogging.”

Josh Pereira adds:“I tell clients who want to keep up with their looks while they can’t go to the barber to use the Gillette Styler. My go-to tip that I give guys for beard trimming is to always start with the highest guard and then keep going lower until you get to the length you desire. The great thing about the Gillette Styler is that it’s small and has everything you need in one razor so it’s easy to trim your beard, then edge up and finish with a shave looking like you just came out of the barber shop!”

The Gillette SkinGuard and Styler are available on Gillette.com to be shipped directly to your door.

Gillette SkinGuard:
Gillette’s first razor designed for men with sensitive skin, including razor bumps and other signs of shaving irritation. The SkinGuard technology guards the skin in three ways:

It absorbs the pressure from the hand and minimizes the pressure on each blade.
It smooths the skin to protect it from the blades.
It raises the blades slightly from the skin (compared to other Gillette razors), minimizing blade contact with sensitive skin.

For a limited time, new subscribers to Gillette.com can receive a free SkinGuard starter kit which includes a SkinGuard razor, FlexBall handle and travel blade case.

Gillette Styler:
Gillette Styler is a 3-in-1 tool designed to easily craft any style with one precision tool.
The trimmer is waterproof and includes three exchangeable combs.
Attach a Gillette ProGlide razor blade to the back of your Styler to deliver a close and comfortable shave.
The Precision Trimmer allows you to create crisp, defined lines.
