In August 2016 Gillette launched Gillette Fusion ProShield. According to a study by Gillette, most men take about 170 strokes while shaving, but typically shave on autopilot and can re-stroke up to 120 times during the shave. The initial 50 strokes will wipe away most of the shaving gel, resulting in unintentional irritation.

The Gillette ProShield features a water-activated Lubrication Bar before the blades, plus a Lubrastrip after the blades, to shield from irritation.
