Sensor 3 problems

• Ok Slys, 
  
  As most of you have probably read,, I am a Headblade fan. Been using the HB triples with pretty good results, A while back got a pack of Sensor3 disposables, I got nicked up pretty good, Let the head heal  completely, tried one again Wednesday morning, second pass, zap. Is there any reason for this? A lot of folks really seem to like the Sensor blades??
  
  Thanks,
  Tom

• That's strange Tom and I don't have an answer for you.
  
  I have never used the sensor, but after reading a lot of the posts lately, I think I'll just stick with my Fusion as I have never cut myself with it.
  
  Good luck , I hope you find an answer to why that is happening to you.

• THier,
  I use the razor on my headblade, not the disposable ones. I would think the disposable won't allow the blade to move a freely as the headblade does, just a thought.
  I actually recently bought headblade triples for my headblade and don't seem to get as good of a shave as the S3's were giving me. Also seems the S3's last longer but it could be a mind thing.
  Never had a nick issue with the S3's though.

• I had the same issue Tom. 
  
  I tried the sensors once and they didn't seem as forgiving on my dome as some others have said.  Could just be different head shapes I guess. 
  
  The atras or the knock off atras have always worked best for me.

• When I used the Head Blade I used the Sensor Excel cartridges.
  I tried the Sensor 3 cartridges and they didn't shave any better and were pricer so there was no reason to use them over the 2 blades Sensor cartridges.

  I found that the Sensor two's didn't accumulate as much gunk and generally lasted longer. I agree with yah brother

  THier,

  I was putting the disposable Sensor3 blades on my HB, I wonder if disposible blades are different from refills. A pack of 4 disposable are a buck each, blades only are a couple of bucks each?
  
  Anyone want to send me a Sensor blade to try so I don't buy a pack? I'll trade a new Sensor3 disposable for you to compare as well.
