Product Reviews of Gillette Sensor3 System Replacement Cartridges, Pack of 8 Cartridges
Product Review: A product that works but is discontinued
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all time favorite blade but it is discontinued in favor of the Mach3 (which is like shaving with a boat paddle). The mach 3 lies flat on your face and is awkward to shave with. I wish Gillette brings back the excel 3.Product Review: Average performance
Summary: 3 Stars
After using this razor for a short period of time, I feel compelled to tell others how it stacks up in the world of razors. With Gillette offering several varieties of the Mach 3, the Sensor3 system has been slowly ported over from a cartridge-based system to a disposable one. The cartridges are still available in some stores, however. This review specifically covers the Sensor3 cartridge system.
Aesthetics: 4 stars. I like the design of the Sensor3. It's a very clean, understated design that feels good in the hand and offers good maneuverability when shaving. The Sensor3 cartridges are noticeably smaller than the Mach 3 cartridges, by comparison. The cartridge also sits at a much more pronounced angle than the Mach 3. This overall design allows for more precision shaving--areas below the nose and around the sideburns are relatively easy to cut as a result.
The shave: 3 stars. I was surprised at the amount of resistance I encountered when shaving. I found there to be a great deal of drag with only a couple of days' facial hair growth. The angle of the blade takes some getting used to. I noticed several times that I placed the blade on my face at the wrong angle, presumably because of my adjustment to the Mach 3/Fusion/Quattro razors which seem to have a more linear handle design. The biggest problem I encountered were several cuts. Lubrication is minimal, and one wonders if there really is something to the design of the Mach 3/Fusion razors. I do note that the shave was close, but comfort was lacking.
Durability: 3 stars. This is the durability rating I give to the Sensor3 disposables. I did not test these cartridges for durability, as I quickly realized that the Sensor3 disposable blade is identical to the Sensor3 cartridges. Blades will last a week at most, perhaps three to four shaves at best.
Overall: The Sensor3 would make a fine choice as a disposable option (and a better choice than the Mach 3 disposable). For razor systems, one would be advised to choose the Mach 3 Turbo for overall comfort. Or, if you are particularly interested in the Sensor family of razors, choose the SensorExcel. There is no particular benefit to the third blade in the Sensor family.
Product Review: BETTER THAN THE MACH 3
Summary: 5 Stars
This razor is more accurate, cuts closer and is less irritating than the Mach 3. FINALLY, the original super accurate sensor comes with three blades! I let my little bro try it and he threw out his Mach 3 as did I. BOOYYAAACCAAASHEE.Product Review: Best Gillette for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to rely on Sensor Excel until got a sample of this blade included in an Excel pack. In Sensor 3, the extra blade does not add bulk but improves shave quality and has longer life. Finally, very good value.
Recommended.
More recent Gillette cartridges IMO have too many blades, which, for my face, makes it very difficult to reach under the nose.
I would estimate my facial hair density as medium - well, maybe a 6-7 on the scal of 10.
Product Review: Best Gillette razors out there
Summary: 5 Stars
These razors are easily the best Gillette razors on the market. They are much more precise than the 5 and six blade models and cut through thicker beards like mine much more easily than the two blade sensor excel blades. If you are only marginally happy with the other Gillette blades I highly recommend trying these out.
