Summary

This trial is testing a new razor technology to see if it improves satisfaction with shaving, prevents skin irritation, and reduces inflammation of hair follicles.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men aged 20-60 who wet shave with a blade at least three times weekly, are willing to shave five times per week during the study, and have mild to moderate skin irritation from shaving. Participants should have experienced these symptoms for two years but can't join if they've recently changed their use of oral antibiotics or topical prescriptions, don't usually wet shave with a blade, or have removed a beard in the last two months.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new razor technology both alone and combined with additional shaving products like pre-shave gel and cleansing brush. It aims to assess improvements in overall satisfaction with shaving, reduction of skin irritation appearance, and inflammation caused by razors.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly mentioned here, potential side effects may include increased skin irritation or allergic reactions to any new product used as part of the trial's shaving regimen.
