[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I about the the Gillett Sensor 3 Sensitive.
The first thing I noticed about these razors was the way the package stood out. Bright green package with the familiar Gillette blue color in the middle. It' packaging that stands out without being overbearing. This product will be easy to find on the shelf wherever you buy your shaving needs. I also like the fact that it comes in an 8 pack. I don't mind shopping for razors, but an 8 pack will give me a couple extra weeks with a clean shave.
The razor itself is lightweight as one would expect with a disposable variety, but don't let that make you believe it compromises this razor's quality. The razor fits naturally in your hand. The sides and bottom of the handle is rubberized in the same lively green as the packaging and allows for easy handling and less slippage. The head of the razor pivots well allowing for the 3 blades to glide along the face for a close shave. The lubrication strip adds to help with keeping that sensitive skin from getting irritated.
Now let's talk about the shave it gave. As stated before, the handle is lightweight. Even though I prefer a heavier weight handle, I found it handled well. I didn't feel like I was going to lose control of the razor or that it would slip out of my hand, even when lather was running down my wrist. The lubrication strip seemed to last for a few shaves before I noticed the strip fading in color. I found to be a good thing. If it's going to have a strip on it to help with the shave, it should not be dried out after one run of the razor. I have this to happen in other brands. I typically shave every day to every other day, depending on what's going on. For a disposable razor I believe the Gillette Sensor 3 holds its own. 4-5 shaves in and I felt like I was getting a good shave even with my thick stubble.
All said and done, I would recommend that guys try Gillette Sensor 3 Sensitive out. I think it would great for the business man that travels a lot for work. Use it for the week you're out of town and dispose of it after that last shave Friday morning. For the Gym Rats, keep it in your locker and toss it when its use of life is over. Throw a new one your gym bag when loading your bag with clean clothes. All of you guys that can't keep up with that reusable handle…. this one is attached.
Next time you need to pick up those shaving supplies grab a package of Gillette Sensor 3 Sensitive
