That Quorum handle is beautiful but very slippy in wet hands.
I put some electrical tape round the neck to remedy this but it needs a more permanent fix.
And that blade has settled in very nicely on its 4th shave and is now satisfyingly smooth.

N.O.S. Gillette Techmatic from 1966, original cartridge, first blade position (7). The whiskers are starting to challenge the blade. Time to move on. Still, Gillette claimed you'd get a week's worth of shaves and damn it, they were exactly right!
BIC Flex 4 Hybrid (13). Starting to drag a bit on my neck.
Has anyone tried the Schick Hydro 5 Disposable? If not I'll let you know soon.

I gave the handle some extra and much needed grippiness by adding some adhesive gems!!
It grips great now:

Gillette sensor (9) still feels great although just a tad less sharp than it was in the beginning but still a great shave . I could easily get another few shaves out of it but life is too short and I have other razors to try .
I am a huge Trac II and Atra fan after discovering them a couple months ago . (My huge hoard of Trac II/Atra Carts that I have amassed is testimony to my respect for the systems . BUT the sensor is an amazing system. What’s interesting is that the sensor was my first non disposable razor system I used when I started shaving as a teenager . Like most people I didn’t have the first clue how to shave properly and I don’t recall being all that impressed with the sensor back then .
Fast fwd to today and will my 6 years of DE experience and using better soaps and a brush and this sensor is giving fantastic and consistent nick free and irritation free shaves .
Highly recommend people try it.
Only downside is that there aren’t that many diff handles to choose from although the standard Gillette sensor (non excel) is a work or art .

Agree with you FaceScraper. The Sensor is a great system, and the Atra and Trac II come very close. FWIW if you want an inexpensive and heavy handle, Taconic makes one for the Sensor, as well as ones for the Atra and Trac II, I have them and they give me a smoother shave, with less chatter, and the weight lets me leave the pressure to the weight of the razor. Well worth the value, IMHO.

Used a Schick Hydro 5 Disposable with Edge Ultra Sensitive shave gel. Too much goo (snot) for a close shave. It was comfortable though. This needs more shaves to fully evaluate.

I love the look of this razor but I have to admit the head angle , heavy weight (105g) and relatively slippery handle made for a nervous shave . I generally hold my razors very lightly and use a feather touch so felt different with such a heavy handle .
