First shave on a fresh Mach 3. As soon as I've used these carts up (one more after this), I'm switching over to the Bic Flex5 Hybrid for an extended trial.
How is the Ultra?Schick Ultra / 1
I just picked up one of these on the auction site NOS sealed in packets. I wonder when Gillette changed from the thin rubber ribs on the handle to the thick ones like on yours. My one i just bought looks like yours. A lot of sensor excels ive seen have thin gray ribs. My Sensor (non excel) has thin black ribs.Sensor/Sensor Excel (2)

A phenomenal shave!
But is it better than the Contour...
... I just don’t know...
I have a friend with an Ultra and on his particular razor the Personna and Dorco carts don’t pivot properly, only the OEM Schick carts do.Nice. It came with 2 carts. They have a lube strip and a button for cleaning out between the blades like the Schick Twin disposable. I think these readily take the Atra compatible carts. I really like the curve to the handle. Gives you a ton of clearance on the face.
