You somehow have missed the fact that you're posting in the cartridge razors section of this forum. So I really think you've taken the wrong turn and ended up in the wrong place matey! Our interest here is obviously not yours.You're on the wrong Forum here m8! Our interest is in traditional shaving not those awful overpriced cartridge contraptions!!

If quick (and painless) is your main priority then a cartridge is probably the way to go. However, did you ever try one of the Artist Club single edge razors? One of those with a mild blade is super.I have always been a fan of the Sensor. I gave DE shaving a really good try out, but it is extremely difficult to get really under the nose area. Some people have sugested that one should use a cartridge shaver for this area, which seems a little ridiculous, because then you may as well use a cartride to carry out the whole shave. I also like to shave very quickly, which you simply cannot do with a DE. I also cannot be doing with all the paraphernalia that is needed (or desired) with the DE shaving process (ie shaving soap; shaving bowl, shaving brush; pre-shave cream etc, etc; all of which need washing down after use, c/w softening the shaving brush in warm water before using etc). Cartridge shaving is so much easier and quicker; wash face with soap and warm water; I use Gillette Sensitive Gel; Shave; rinse face with cold water; apply AS and that's it; takes me about 90 seconds; as oppossed to at least 12 minutes, plus patching up the cuts from DE shaving. I personally do not believe I get a better shave with the DE system, just a considerable amount of additional hassle. Obviously these views are merely my own opinion, based on my own experience.
I'm with you regarding the quality of shave I get from the Sensor. Where I part company with you is on the the other aspects of shaving. In this regard, I am a ‘wet shaver': badger or boar shaving brush, Scuttle for pre-shave brush soak and for keeping the lather between passes, shaving cream and sometimes shaving soap, 2 or 3 passes with razor, warm water rinse and liberal lashings of an alcohol-based aftershave splash. Obviously, all this takes me longer than 90 seconds, but it's not as long as if I used a DE/SE razor, but I get as good a shave.I have always been a fan of the Sensor.
