Good afternoon all.
As mentioned in another post I was lucky to find a brand new Gillette Sensor Excel razor still in it's packaging in my local charity shop.
Here is my first impression of it (compared to the Gillette Fusion)
.
Compared to the Fusion the Sensor looks much more like a proper razor and less of a spacecraft. The Sensor looks much more mature with it's understated brushed metal finish and grey rubber indents. The Fusion looks like a toy in comparison, plus the mechanism to hold the blade on the Fusion seems plastiky and flimsy in comparison to the Sensor. The Sensor does indeed feel much nicer in the hand.
I really cannot understand WHY Gillette have to over-design their newer razors. I better treat my Sensor like gold dust because if heaven forbid the handle gets lost or damaged it will be really hard to get a replacement!
The Fusion does have a saving grace though. It still has the storage caddy that holds the razor and a pack of replacement blades which I know is no longer made.
