[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's break down a man's face to its “Shave-able Zones” or SZ. To me there are 5 SZ. First is the neck, then jawline where the neck meets the cheek, third the cheek itself, fourth comes the chin and finally the mustache area.
Two things I noticed right out of the box for this disposable razor. You can open the package without tools. I feel the only time I would ever possibly need a disposable razor would be if I was not at home. If I am traveling, which I do often for work, and forget my shaving kit, I would find a local store and pick up some disposable razors. If I couldn't open them I would be severely aggravated. The other thing I noticed was the light weight. It almost feels there is nothing in your hand.
Back to the 5 SZ...
This personal grooming tool takes on the neck area with ease. The front of the neck is usually a no brain-er for any razor and the Gillette Sensor3 Sensitive Men's Disposable Razor is no exception. After the neck front, I move to each neck side. This is where I first notice the tail end of the handle is not rounded like many disposable razors, it's slightly flared and flattened. I find my little finger steering. This is awesome as I shave in the shower and have had several razors twist in my hand and give me a quick nick. Not this one.
Now up to the jawline. This SZ often challenges razors but this one performs well.
Cheek zone is handled with zero irritation and completes the side burn touch-up without blocking my view. The head is small enough you get a clear view for trimming.
Chin zone is my most susceptible to nicking and irritation, but not with this razor. The pivoting head and spring loaded blades keep the shaving area in contact where it needs to.
Mustache zone is broken into 3 “sub zones”. Lip-line is handled with out indecent. The area around the nostrils is taken care of maybe the best I have had of any razor in 30 years. As mentioned in the cheek zone, the thin head takes it to the necessary locations under the nostrils for optimum closeness, unlike larger 5 blade non-disposables. Now holding the razor upside down to shave between the lip-line and nostrils I once again take advantage of the little finger flange for control.
Well done Gillette, well done! All 5 SZ taken care of. Well lubricated, thin head with the grip-able handle material, and finger flange all add up to a very fine shaving experience.
