 "As others have said..."still the best."" 2008-08-19
By MATTHEW MCBRIDE (Nashville, TN United States)
These blades still give me the best shave of any available...anything more than two blades is a waste in my opinion. The three and four blade models just don't stay close enough to the skin going across curves...which makes sense considering they are wider from top to bottom. Having used the original sensor since it came out, the Excel series really added a great level of closeness and comfort.



As other's have stated, they are getting harder and harder to find...which is a shame. Also, they still seem overpriced considering how long they've been around...but they won't break the bank like the newer models. It's like Gillette is forcing everyone to the newer versions to make up for all their unnecessary R&D. Get them while you can...your face will thank you!

 "Easier to get on Amazon than in my grocery store" 2008-06-30
By E. Smith (Cambridge, MA USA)
Razors are a matter of personal preference, so reviewing them is not going to be of much help as each person needs/likes something different.



But what is great about these is that my grocery store locks them up and you have to track down an employee to unlock them for you, which can take longer than the rest of my shopping does/should.

So the fact that Amazon will sell them for the same or less and ship them right to my door makes it easier to get them online than it does in person.



So if your grocery store treats all of its customers like criminals, I suggest buying things like this via Amazon instead.

I really like the Sensor Excel because it is easier to use than any of the newer "gimmicks" as I like to call them AND it does give me a close shave. Plus, most important, it's alot cheaper than any of those newer gimmicks out there that Gillette and Schick are trying to push...

 "Not bad, but I prefer the original Sensor" 2007-12-16
By W. E. Roberts (Norman, OK USA)
Hi... I've used both the Sensor and the Sensor Excel cartridges. These Excel cartridges are supposed to be better because of the rubber strip in front of the blades, which supposedly smoothes the skin to prepare it for the blades. Well, in my experience it just creates more drag. The original Sensor glides over the skin more smoothly, so I would recommend going with it instead of the Sensor Excel.

These blades are becomming hard to find, but I still think they're the best blades around. They provide a cleaner shave than the regular Excels and are a lot cheaper than any of the three-blade varieties.

 "Tried almost everything else" 2009-07-05
By Mark (Bernards Twp, NJ)
I tried every new razor Gillette introduced over the years from Trac II, Trac II Plus, Atra, Sensor, et. al. Each one was better than the previous one. However when they started with the 3 and 5 blades I said "enough already". I finally tried them as samples, but drew the line at the vibrating one. The Sensor Excel is really the best. The problem is it got so expensive, in a large part because the 5 blade razors were hugely expensive and Gillette/P&G couldn't have an old product that worked so well so much cheaper. At least with Amazon's auto ship it makes the blades reasonable. Perhaps the crowd at P&G are responsible for these ridiculous new models out now with 6 blades (5 for the face and 1 for under the nose). If the Sensor Excel is ever discontinued, I'll have to try safety razor I guess.

 "Great Blades but OK price" 2009-05-31
By Salvatore M. Mancino
I love the blades and thank God for free shipping. Pricing could be better.

 "Great Razor System" 2009-04-28
By Mark (San Clemente, CA)
I have used the Excel system for some time and the blades are consistently sharp, the shave quality is excellent, and I get at least one week's worth out of each cartridge. I have not tried the newer three and four blade systems, but I am not sure how much better the product could be. Highly recommmended.

 "A fine shave, perhaps surpassed by other razors" 2009-03-22
By J. McGhee (Anniston, AL USA)
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.
