Sensor 3 problems
« on: November 19, 2008, 11:09:55 PM »
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

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.
