Gillette Sensor Excel Men's Razor + 3 Refills, Self-Adjusting Twin Blades, Fit All Sensor Razors

These work great on my sensitive skin. My beard does not grow very full or very fast. So I only need to shave about 3 times a week. I don't know why these aren't sold in any brick and mortar stores in my area.

I don’t write many reviews — I generally just don’t have the time. So if I’m reviewing something, it’s because it really impressed me. The disposable cartridge razor I remember most fondly is the original Gillette Sensor. Back in the ’90s during annual training, I had forgotten my usual Bic disposable. A fellow lieutenant handed me his Sensor disposable cartridge razor. I was so blown away that I bought one that same day. I kept using the Sensor system until the Mach 3 came out and, like many others, I got pulled into the hype. Fast-forward to a couple months ago: I accidentally left my Mach 3 at my sister’s place and had to use a Schick disposable cartridge razor with five — !! — blades. It was too wide to reach the area right under my nose, and the shave just wasn’t great, overall. That got me thinking that, maybe, it was time for a change. I did get my Mach 3 back eventually, but I’ve never loved the bottom-pivot design — don’t even get me started on the ones that pivot in multiple directions on a kind of ball at the bottom. That brought me back to the shaving experience I’ve always remembered: the first one with the original Sensor. I looked on Amazon and found the Gillette Sensor 3 disposable cartridge razor. I’m not even sure it’s still in full production, but the cartridges are still available. It uses a center-pivot head like the original Sensor, but with three blades. It arrived yesterday and I used it this morning. It took me right back to that moment in the ’90s when I first tried the original Sensor. There’s something about that center pivot that gives me more control, and the narrower head gets into tight spots far better than today’s bulky four or five-blade disposables. My face came out smoother than it has in decades. Once again, I am blown away. If you can find a Sensor 3 disposable cartridge razor, I highly, highly recommend it.

A razor, like a thought, must be precise—swift, silent, and exacting. The Gillette Sensor Excel, with its three faithful refills, performs this task with a diligence most rare. Each morning it greets the skin with measured gentleness, sweeping away the stubborn bristles as if erasing the unnecessary lines of a verse. Its grip is firm, yet unobtrusive, allowing the hand to guide it with a quiet certainty that borders on grace. There are moments—brief, almost imperceptible—when the blade hesitates or catches, a small imperfection in an otherwise steadfast companion. Yet these are few, and easily forgiven for the comfort and smoothness that follows. The refills, crisp and true, maintain their sharpness longer than many might anticipate, a testament to care in design. Four stars, then, for a tool that transforms a daily ritual into something near to poetry—a companion that slices through the ordinary with a tender and unassuming artistry.

Exactly what hubby wanted

I love this razor. It shaves closer than my old twin razor. I've tried other razors with more blades but they feel like shaving with a plank.

My husband loves this product, he has order the product several times.

It functions just fine. It is not a nice as the original Gillette handles. This is made entirely of plastic, and is fairly lightweight. It does not feel like the locking mechanism that holds the blades is as robust as was on the original handles. However, this appears to be the only choice if you prefer to continue using excel blades, and for that I'm happy to have this product.

As described

After being seduced by the marketing/advertising that 4 and then 5 blades were best I ditched my old Contour razor and went "multi-blade". No doubt that 4 or 5 blades gives a close shave but they did eventually cause me skin rash/razor burn after a while.I had never suffered this from my old Contour razor so decided to go back to twin blades. Compared to the bulk of the multi bladed razors this is a joy to shave with.It is small,compact and agile.It gets in all those akward places with ease and doesnt cause razor burn on my skin-no nicks yet either. In the main I use shaving soap and a brush but when I use foam or gel the results are still very good.So I wont be buying any more very expensive multi blade cartridges when these do such a great job for a fraction of the cost. If you're tempted,try one and see what you think-for under £7 it wont break the bank!!!

La maquina muy bien, ya no las venden en las tiendas, pero muy cara

The Gillette Sensor Excel Razor provides a smooth and comfortable shave. The handle offers a secure grip, and the twin blades deliver a close shave with minimal irritation. The included replacement blades ensure long-lasting performance. Highly recommended for those seeking a dependable shaving experience.

Rase très bien !
