That looks exactly like the one I got several years ago....do you have the same issue I did, cart held so tightly it doesn’t pivot?

That looks strangely like the own brand that Lidl and also used to sell. I think Tesco now uses a simple design,

yes it looks like it doesnt pivot at all. Compared with the original sensor it's just crap. Sent as a gift

The very light plastic Vector and the heavy metal Taconic, both on Amazon are the only 2 currently made and easily available that work as supposed to, at least as far as I know.

So have been helping my folks out a lot lately and when at their house I ran accross a razor of mine. I think this was from about 1996. The blade shown is what was in it. I'm going to use it shortly. I think this is the Sensor handle people lust after.

Yes ... and how was the shave?

Yes, I have two of those. It's a very nice handle.

The Sensor is a great razor, even if it commands a premium.
