Gillette ProGlide Razor Refills 8 Count - Five Blades
Published on 09/22/2026 at 08:57 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Gillette ProGlide Razor Refills 8 Count bring eight replacement cartridges in a pack built around five-blade shaving. The refills use antifriction blades, a lubrication strip, microfins, and a rear precision trimmer for detail work.
Five Blades and Flexible Fit
Each cartridge has five antifriction blades. The cartridge fits Gillette five-blade handles, excluding GilletteLabs, and the rear precision trimmer addresses hard-to-reach areas and facial-hair styling.
The package contains 8 blade refills and does not include a handle. That distinction separates this refill pack from starter sets that combine a handle with cartridges.
Lubrication and Refill Life
Gillette describes the ProGlide cartridge with an enhanced Lubrastrip and microfins that help stretch and smooth the skin. A microcomb guides stubble toward the blades, while the close blade spacing supports the five-blade format.
Retail specifications state that one refill provides up to 30 shaves, based on three shaves per week. The figure describes the cartridge's stated use period rather than a guaranteed result for every shaving routine.
Compatibility is the practical dividing line. The refills work with Gillette five-blade handles, while GilletteLabs handles are excluded, so the handle system should be checked before opening the package.
Price and Category Position
Target lists the eight-count pack at $34.99, or $4.37 per cartridge, as of 09/22/2026. The pack sits in the replacement-cartridge segment rather than the complete-razor segment because no handle is included.
Compared with a basic five-blade refill, ProGlide adds the precision trimmer and enhanced lubrication features. The relevant alternative is a handle-compatible refill with fewer comfort or detailing features, while the main compatibility limit remains the exclusion of GilletteLabs handles.
Best Fit for Existing Handles
Gillette ProGlide Razor Refills 8 Count is a replacement pack for users who already have a compatible Gillette five-blade handle. Its catalog profile is specific: eight cartridges, five antifriction blades per cartridge, a rear precision trimmer, and a stated life of up to 30 shaves per refill.
