"The blade is doing its job".... if you say so Ken. Shame that so many brush makers have gone out of business, Shavemac, Semogue, Thater, and others. Hope the trend doesn't continue. Have a great day.
Certainly no heatwave here in Blighty, more like Autumn setting in atm 🥶 Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 and a Happy Birthday to my Dad 🕉
Happy birthday!🎂🎂🎂🎂
i tried that black n´blue 3 bladed Gillette its right lightweight just alright, happy 4th of July to you stay safe....cheers....Peter
Thanks Peter👍💈💈💈
Great one, Ken! I still believe both handles are compatible with all the Sensor blades, no matter old or new. I think in some markets they sell Sensor Excel with the new handle, the same as in this video. Some even provide both 2 and 3 blades cartridges together.
I tried again, and you are right. The blades do fit new and old. I must have had the blade upside down
Happy 4th July. Enjoy the fireworks.💥 Good review👍Look forward to the next video. British weather☂️👎
I remember the Newcastle weather…cold and raining
A pleasure to see you this fourth of July, Ken. I have one of the original Sensor shavers, I liked it very much - but I grew tired of the cartridges ever increasing expense - so, back to the ol' reliable "D.E." for me. And, my usual sapone - the green Proraso. I've yet to try their Proraso after shave, but am eager to. That's so cool about your dog's natural response to the loud fireworks, looking forward to the next visit here in The Shave Den! Thanks, and take good care...
Thanks, you too!👍💈💈
Happy 4th of July to you and your family Ken Jon and Emma
Thanks you very much💈👍👍👍
Happy 4th of July 🎉😊
Thank you
I missed you Ken, please enhance the frequency of your videos!!! You see how cheaper made are the newer products nowadays compare what they were in the past. For instance the car toys I was playing as a kid back in the 80s were robust with metal parts, now they're all plastic and cheap. Like you I love proraso green my first decent soap when started, never had a bad shave using it. And as far the lather goes do as you like. Happy 4th of July !!!
Thank you👍💈💈
I can grow more facial in three days than your Goatee 😂
My beard grows thin and slow👍💈
It's a little different Ken I mean I prefer the New blades instead of the old. I have two of them because one I didn't open and kept it for display and one I use sometimes when I am in a hurry
That’s what I do too👍👍💈💈
Best joke I ever heard about a Yugo, why does a yugo have a rear defroster? To keep your hands warm when you push it.
lol…that’s a great one 👍💈💈
I am most fond of the Gillette Skin Guard on a metal travel handle by Parker. This has only 2 blades and they are spaced so as to not have hysteresis. Parker also makes a short metal travel handle for Mach 3 carts that’s my 2nd choice for a carry-onable razor.
👍💈💈
I don’t like a big thick lather either
Very cool👍💈💈
Ken, I don't know why you're blade didn't fit on your old Sensor but mine do. Give it another try off camera and I bet it'll fit!
Will do. I might have had it upside down 👍💈
Nice shave Ken. I think I will stick to my DE razors. Hope you had a safe 4th. Have a great weekend. 👍🎇🧨
Thanks, you too!🎆🎇🎆
I’ve been rocking my Excel lately. I have a handful of handles from back in the day and the blades work just fine.
Thanks👍👍
My go to razor for years...
👍👍
Interesting shave Ken! Happy 4th of July.
Thanks! You too!👍👍
What heat wave, still like winter here in Scotland 🏴 Cheers🍻🥃
Maybe the thought of Labour coming into power is making it feel cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
👍👍
Ken, you promised that this video is more than 30 minutes. But it's only 17. Where is the other 13?😭😭😭
👍👍👍👍
The Sensor was my first razor. I bought one out of nostalgia, and it's still great. I actually use the Sensor or Atra quite often for getting around my ears as a head shaver. Personna sells Atra cartridges for less than their DE blades ($15/100). My '77 Atra is more sturdy than my '77 black beauty, and both are more sturdy than my '77 back, knees, and shoulders!
👍👍💈💈
Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸 Ken
Happy 4th👍💈🎇🎆
You do have white the Nike logo
That’s true and white Nike Air Force 1’s👍💈
@@kensurfs I have a challenge for you. Have you ever done the blindfold shaving challenge? You should as normal but just blindfolded to give you the experience of what it’s like for a blind person to shave. Who does not use an electric shaver. You can only go by touch
Junk
👍👍
4:21 You were Putting The Gillette Sensor Excel Blades Wrong Bro 😂 i Meant you put it Upside down 😂😊
Oh man, thx👍💈
@@kensurfs Your Welcome Bro 😁
For my quick shave, it's the Gillette Mach 3. Good feel; and the blades do well. Plus, the Mach 3 was given to us in the Military. I got comfortable with the performance from the Mach 3 Razor. Against the grain? Well, my skin is too sensitive for that, but with a DE razor I can. For the quick, down and dirty, it's the Gillette Mach 3.
👍👍👍
Kensurfs What Do you think of the Gillette Sensor 3 Version 😊😊
I haven’t tried it yet👍👍
Happy Fourth of July Ken. Are you gonna do the next cowboy action shoot?
Yes, I’m planning on it👍
Great shave. My nearest Walgreens sells the Atra Plus and Sensor cartridges, though the handles have been discontinued for a while now. Have a good one!
👍💈💈
the old Gillette cartridges for sensor excel and mach 3 blades were sharper and smooth. the newer refills carts are blunter n rough idk if Gillette does it on purpose for their flag ship 5 blade to appear sharper and smoother
👍💈
I just got this razor from eBay. I agree the handle is too light but it shaves well. I normally use a DE but this is good for a quick shave.
👍👍💈💈
Happy 4th of July y'all! 🍻
Same to you!👍👍
Great shave Ken I used those a lot as a young man Happy 4th to ever one and many thanks to our armed forces
👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm in the UK and it hasn't stopped raining and forecast for another week.Got the heating on tonight.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Sensor Excel was the cartridge I used just before I went to SE and DE razors. I liked the Excel 3 cartridge blades way better than the Mach 3
👍👍
Stuck in my house with a heat warning... 112 degrees in Vega$
Oh man that’s hot👍👍
My Walgreens has atra blades but no handles 😂 oh well. I want that sensor excel though! Very nice shave talk 👍 ❤
👍👍👍
Hey Ken! I still have both my original Sensor and Sensor Excel razor from 1989 and 1993 respectively. I also have both in unopened packaging. I also have several of each on those original handles. They are very pricey, even used ones, on ebay!! I purchased that new one. It's mostly plastic which reduces the weight significantly. I find that it shaves very good though. I haven't seen where I could purchase replacement blades. I am under the impression ebay or Amazon would have them. I'll have to do my research. Thanks for reviewing this new Sensor! JimG. P.s. The new Sensor fit my vintage cartridges just fine! Are you sure you didn't try to install an old cartridge upside down? Let me know.
I’ll look
That's also my favourite razor. I still use that raiser to this day.🪒😊👍
👍👍💈💈
Still have my Excel since I was a kid wished I could get some carts to test it for the cart I've been using a atra plus from qtr 4 1990 birth year razor with some top care atra cart when I don't feel like using a one blade also do like my proraso green products
👍👍
These Gillettes are available in supermarkets in Australia for $7.99 with only one blade included I use mine now and again.
👍👍💈💈
Hello sir!!!😊
Good morning!
First ... Don't know why I wrote this 😅
lol👍💈💈
How does the trimmer compare to the norelco one blade?
I haven’t tried that one yet.
The Two Best Shave Brushes on the Market today? The Simpson King Charles III Coronation Chubby 3 Fiber brush with a special handle has Softer Hair. Is a real Brush Monster. The T-3 has a little Harder hair. It's 29mm? Buy one and measure it for yourself?? ' It's a clone of a 30mm Chubby 3 Super Badger Shaving Brush without paying for the Super Badger Price . 1, No need to clean your Brush, 2, No need for Brush Stand, 3, NO SOAKING time ready to Go, 4, Fast drying time, 5, Badger or Boar Brushes can and will fall apart Sooner than Later. Your mileage may vary? ?, 6, No Break in time, 7, No need for a Brush Stand 8, Modestly Priced for its size. Rinse Brush in Cold Water and let dry. I have used it going on 6 Years now' with know Hair Loss. Derby black it's the same price as the green Blades?. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year
