Customer Reviews of Gillette SensorExcel Cartridges, 5-Count (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: A fine shave, perhaps surpassed by other razors
Summary: 3 Stars
The Gillette Sensor Excel is the second-generation razor from Gillette's long-lived Sensor line. The Sensor Excel blades were the first among Gillette razors to add rubberized 'microfins' at the bottom of the cartridges...a standard they have included on every Gillette produce since Excel's debut. But with so many razors brought to market since its rollout, how does Sensor Excel stand up to competition today?
Aesthetics: 4 stars. I like the design of the Sensor Excel. It's a very clean, understated design that feels good in the hand and offers good maneuverability when shaving. The Excel cartridges are noticeably smaller than, say, Mach 3 cartridges (about 1/3 smaller). The cartridge also sits at a much more pronounced angle than most razor systems today. This overall design allows for more precision shaving--areas below the nose and around the sideburns are very easy to shave as a result.
The shave: 4.5 stars. One can tell that this truly was Gillette's workhorse model for quite some time, and that a lot of research & development went into the creation of this system. The Sensor Excel offers a comfortable shave with minimal drag, leaving the user feeling clean and smooth. As stated above, the blade angle and smaller cartridge design allows for easy precision shaving of sideburns and moustache/goatee areas--an ideal choice for men who maintain those types of facial hair. It is noteworthy that, as a person with sensitive skin, I felt no facial sensitivity after shaving with the Sensor Excel--something that I cannot say about newer razors such as Quattro and Fusion. For those with sensitive skin, this would perhaps be a wise choice.
Durability: 2.5 stars. This was where Sensor Excel disappointed me. I get, at most, three shaves out of one cartridge. Drag and other issues resulting from dull blades arose quickly after two to three shaves. It's safe to say Sensor Excel has been surpassed by newer razors that have better blade coatings. By comparison, during my testing of the Gillette Fusion I got almost two weeks out of one cartridge. However, with the steep cost of blades for newer razors, Sensor Excel may still be a more affordable option.
Overall: A fine razor offering a no-frills kind of approach to shaving. No advertising or fancy marketing to deal with when it comes to Sensor Excel--just a razor that does what it's supposed to do, well. Durability comes into question here as newer razors offer better blade coatings, but still a smart choice for those who don't buy into (and don't need) the uber-bladed razor trend. Recommended.
