Gillette Sensor, not the Sensor Excel with those stupid pointless "Microfins" that do absolutely nothing other than add £1 to a pack of ten, but the original pure Sensor you can no longer buy, two blades is plenty & it could shave under your nose.
I think that the Mach 3 gives a reasonable shave preidy, but because of the size of the head, I have trouble sharing under the nose areas, do you not find this to be a problem or does it become easier with more use with Mach 3.Mach 3
Well alittle bit for me (due to 3 blades) but I used the Trac II for many years and did not have this problem. I no longer use the M3 or T2 (except when I travel) but did full time for about 30+ years prior to going to vintage.I think that the Mach 3 gives a reasonable shave preidy, but because of the size of the head, I have trouble sharing under the nose areas, do you not find this to be a problem or does it become easier with more use with Mach 3.
I tried the pace6 - smooth bbs in one and touch up - no drama gets the job done -I hope this is considered to be a worthwhile subject area and is of interest.
May I suggest that some or all of the following could be the criteria for selection: Best Shave; Least Irritation; Price; Clogging; Ease of Use; Manouvurability (ie around difficult areas, under the nose etc): Longevity of the System; Longevity of the Shaves; Impact on the Environment; Number of Blades.
Perhaps some sort of result may be able to be assessed at some point.
I've been experimenting with the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 blade. The first 5 blade system that I have used. To be honest really struggled with it. Found that the head clogged easily - rinsed regularly, and didnt achieve particularly close shaves. Returning to the Mach 3 for the days when I need a quickish shave.
Has anyone tried the Hydro 3 blade? Seems like the next logical experimentEspecially as the different WS blades fit onto the handle.
Thank you, sir. Will check these out. Also off to try & find a Sensor Excel handle as blades are still availableSorry if you have heard this before, but have you tried the Gillette Guard? It's one blade and it's design is pretty good for not clogging.

I think that you are right there donnie_arko, I was just about to try them out and then covid struck; will do again when I hopefully return to India!I get the impression the Gillette Vector 3 (for the Indian market) can use Sensor cartridges as well, I'm not sure for certain though.
