Great shave, Tony: old school razor with some new music accompaniment! I loved the Sensor, it is likely my favorite razor of all time. Loved the simplicity, which now as a geezer would do me well. Shaving is no longer a necessary me time thing , since I have been retired for eight years. Now I like to keep it simple and am happy with a basic razor and Aveeno shave gel. I always enjoy your shaves and insight into products past and present. All the best from Carla and Karl.
Hi Tony, I am honored that you asked me, but I respectfully decline. (IBS which can strike anytime. Enough said). I continue to enjoy and learn from your shaves and your excellent guests.
Gillette Sensor were an awesome thang back when dude (party days)!!! Re-purchased the Sensor but still have my three Sensor Excels. Good memories bro! Thanks for the video!
I still own my very first razor which is the original Sensor Excel. Always enjoy shaving with it. Also, the ad campaign for the Sensor was the best they ever made. Still watch the clips.
Before starting my shave I like to prep my face by washing it with a facewash and then apply my lather and finish it off by splashing cold water from my fridge and apply alum block then hop in the shower and after that apply my favourite aftershave
The Sensor Excel is easily my favorite razor. I keep one in my bathroom, one in my dopp kit, and I have about 100 cartridges I stocked up on so I should be set for life since I usually shave with my Mühle R89 (and the Excel carts last forever).
Great video, man! I'd love to try a sensor again soon. I lost the original handle I had. I do like the Gillette sensor/blue 2 disposable razor which is said to be similar to the sensor. It impresses me every time. I prefer less blades, even with cartridges. 3 blades is the maximum for me. You realize how simple and efficient some things were back then.
Finally someone is back from vacation I see. Great shave Tony with the classic Sensor Excel in my mind at that time I always thought Gillette had nailed it with this razor and they were looking for me 😅
@@averageguytested okk let's see although I am not a camera person but I will tell me son or daughter to shave my face for only you and I will also give my voice in the video
Great to have you back, wow that razor is expensive on E-bay even from Greece over 100UDS damn but from THE US over 200USD closer to 300 USD great shave been missing you here brah, my first was Gillette Contour Plus mine broke got Mach 3 after i started the Wet shaving i found the Gillette Contour Plus new old stock on E-bay a bit extensive but i bought it stay safe, cheers....Peter
I've been looking in retail places for the cartridge heads the last couple of years. Find none! But online, a few shops, but especially through *Amazon.* I have not bought any yet because too expensive.! I can only hope that one day I might find a package of 5 each online hopefully for not too high a price.
The Richard Nixon hair due coming thru… and he still has razors from me?…yeah if the foam is slick the Excel Is great, the regular with the plastic bar was for the foams. As for your beetle…well..a razor is one thing, a Tin can in a crash is another
Thanks for sharing; 2 minor doubts please: 1. How many blades does the Sensor Excel have? 2. Are its cartridges still being sold? Way Above Average Guy: I salute you.
The Excel has 2 blades - there is a 3 blade cartilage available as well, but they’re hard to find! I’ll get you a link to the carts on Amazon when I get back to the computer.
Rasoio stupendo, è stato il mio primo rasoio, anno 1995’/1996’, penso sia migliore dei vari fusion e Lab di attuale produzione. Come uno stupido lo buttai via quando ho comprato il Mach3, me ne sono pentito a morte, perché mi piacerebbe ricomprarmelo, ma è introvabile
This was so old school i got carried away and slapped my wife cause we got away with it back than! Nah i'm just kidding love your wife and she will love you!
Very cool video. My father used to shave with Sensor, I remember this razor from my childhood🌲
That’s cool. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
A little more water, a little more agitation, a little more foam. Hahaha!!! 😂
Ha ha 👋🏽

#Gora - how about doing a guest shave for the channel?

Great shave Tony, I had the Sensor back in the day, it’s a great shaver for sure:)👋🏻
Thanks, Ron! Do you still have one or just the Atra?
@@averageguytestedIt’s long gone, the Atra is new old stock from Etsy.
Best razor imho from Gillette 2 blades is all we really need. Thx Tony
Thanks for watching, Robert! I agree.
they make the new replacements cartridges less smooth nothing like the early 90s blades
Indeed. Thanks for watching 👋🏽

You have to get some!! Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Which one is better? The Leaf twig or this or other cartridge raxors🪒?
The Twig - then Mach3, then the Sensor 👋🏽
Mate, you look at least 20 years younger when you are clean shaven... Honestly
Ha ha - time travel. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
Gillette sensor is the best razor ever
My dad bought me the Gillette Sensor for my first razor back in 1993. I’m regretting now throwing it away around 5 years ago.
Get one at a yard sale - most people don’t know what they are.
That sensor will do a great work in the head, take the plunge tony!
Ha ha - not going that way anytime soon. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
The Richard Nixon hair due coming thru… and he still has razors from me?…yeah if the foam is slick the Excel
Is great, the regular with the plastic bar was for the foams. As for your beetle…well..a razor is one thing, a Tin can in a crash is another
Did they let you out of detention to SPAM my channel? Where the hell have you been?
@@averageguytested busy with work, now looking for work lol markets bad in Canada

The razor works best on your head. It’s 2024 brah not 1984. Time to get the noggin shaved
Ok

Yes! I had a bunch of them and I did the same. At least I have one left from back in the day. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
if I could have hang on to at least one Sensor excell handle , but noooo!
We’re you forced to throw it away?
Wait... you've been off all this time and your big video return is a razor from the Clinton administration...😂😂 wow!
Bruno - where are the files, brah?
This was so old school i got carried away and slapped my wife cause we got away with it back than! Nah i'm just kidding love your wife and she will love you!
Happy wife = happy life
Hailing from a time before Gillette went woke and made proper razors for real men and the world was an all round better place.
Cheers to that 👋🏽
