[adam1138]

Hello guys,
currently don't have the bathroom facilities to use my Merkur's, bathroom renovation in progress, so dug out m y old sensor
foolishly bought some blades off ebay. not incredibly cheap, but i wanted 5 not 10. 100% feedback seller who has sold tens of the packs.
arrived and its an old style pack, not whats pictured.
checking Counterfeit Gillette Sensor Excel Razor Blades | Consumer Alert - https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/503/Sensor-Excel-Razor-Blades.html
seems they are fake, it the above site to be trusted? hell, my serial is nearly identical to the one on their page!

Have you contacted the seller with your concerns? If the item you received is not what is pictured/described by seller contact ebay, you might be able to get your money back.

Have you tried to shave with them?

tbh honest its so long since i have shaved with a sensor i am not sure what to expect! I know i always liked it and it was good for tighter places!

Yes, there are fake Sensor Excel blades. But those photos in the fist post are of very low quality. Need to see higher resolution sharp photos of the blade edges and the rubber fins.

If there are fake DE blades that sell for a few cent each, you can be sure there will be fake carts.

I haven't used a cart for over a decade and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a real or fake cart at this point. It's either a good or bad shave.

Is it me, or do the blades seem wider on the left side, than on the right? Especially well seen on the lower blade.

yes you are correct, you can't see it easily with your naked eye but definatley is either wider or not mounted level.

What's wrong with the Polish ones? I have been using them for years. They are wonderful blades. Even better than the earlier German ones.

Well the Chinese, and other Asians are good at copying products for profit. E-bay pretty much does not care, but they pretend too. E-bay IMHO care more about the money they make from each sale, then protecting honest buyer, and sellers.

I use to turn in people seeing Copy Kat S.T. DuPont Ping Lighters, and Xikar products. Seldom did product get pulled from e-bay.

True. Only once I have ordered Mach3 carts from Ebay and they were fakes. I have reported them, but Ebay didn't remove the listing.

Can only judge by all the negative reviews...The 2 blade Sensors were the best cart razors I ever used , but those were American manufactured

.... I'm down to my last blade, made in BRAZIL , it's "OK" , but can't beat the original blades .

We never had American ones here in Europe, they were German made back in the days. Polish in the recent years. Even the Asian sold ones are Polish made currently. And I have seen now TRACII for the US are Polish. Could be Sensor Excel is currently only made in Poland.
