Customer Reviews of Gillette SensorExcel Shaver for Men with 2 Cartridges (Pack of 3)
Customer Review: Price, Comfort, and Performance Considerations
Summary: 4 Stars
I own the Gillette Atra (1977), Mach 3 (1998), Fusion (2006) and this razor - the Gillette SensorExcel (1990).
The Gillette Sensor Excel was rated highly rated in its heyday but with significant improvements in shaving technology today, the Gillette Sensor Excel just doesn't quite cut it anymore. The newer models of Gillette shavers, the Mach 3 and the Fusion, are vastly superior to the Sensor Excel.
- Price
The Replacement Cartridge for the Sensor Excel isn't cheap. Although it costs less than the Gillette Fusion Replacement Cartridge, it costs almost as much as the Mach 3 Replacement Cartridge! (Price comparisons based on the price per cartridge at the retail price as of this writing.)
- Comfort
For increased comfort, the Sensor Excel is designed with a pivoting head and flexible spring-loaded twin blades that conform to the contours of your face. However, the Sensor can also cause some *dis*comfort: The twin blades get dull rather quickly compared to the Mach 3 and the Fusion. It requires more strokes to shave an area than either the Mach 3 and the Fusion, and thus it is more likely to cause irritated skin or razor burn.
- Performance
With only twin blades, the Sensor Excel takes a longer time to complete a shave compared to a 3-, 4-, or 5-blade razor. Both Mach 3 and Fusion out-perform the Sensor Excel in shaving speed. (Mach 3 has 3 blades while Fusion has 5.)
* Recommended *
Of all the razors, the Gillette Mach 3 clearly hits the sweet spot for performance, comfort, and price (affordability) -- i.e. it does a reasonably good job with minimal discomfort at a price that's not too exorbitant.
---
The performance of the Gillette Sensor Excel is subpar in the context of current razor technology. Its only redeeming quality is the relatively low price of its replacement cartridges. - Overall, 3.5 Stars.
