Title: Question for all you Gillette Sensor 3 users (or any three-blade shaver user).
Post by: OffcerClancy on December 08, 2009, 08:28:29 PM

Top 'o the mornin' to ya-

Do any of you Sensor 3 (or any three-blade shaver) users shave daily?  If so, what do you use for a shaving lubricant and how much if any irritation.

I'm thinking about giving the Sensor 3 a whirl- but will only do so if I can shave daily.

Thanks greatly, gents.   :popo

I shave with the Sensor Excel (2 blades) everyday on my HeadBlade and use a variety of different shaving creams and oils.  Some of my favorite are HeadSlick Bald Guyz, and Pacific Shaving Oil.  I don't get any irritation.

I use the Schick Xteme 3 (three blade) compfort plus  I buy them at Sam's Club   22 for $18.00  - -  I use one razor 4-5 times  - -I have tried some of the other ones and I cannot work the movable blade  - -I cut the Hell out of my  BALD Dome  - - -  I went right back to the Xtreme 3 - - -and use Bald Guyz gel (it is great)   make sure your head is well soaked in warm water or in the shower  - - -  I very rarely cut myself now  - -I shave every day

I have used the Gilette Sensor Excel (doubles) in my Head Blade but have gotten quite attached to the Head Blade triples of late. I cut myself rarely these days and I attribute this upturn to my use of Shave Secret shave oil (Walmart). I give the dome a good scrub first to get off any excess oil and dirt, then I put on a coat of SS, last I put either HB Head Slick or King of Shaves gel over the oil. I let this sit for a few minutes massaging it ever so often to keep the foam active. Then I go to work with the HB. It gets as slick as glass, so much so that I only need to shave every other day.

Interesting tread, here at the start/  I have been using the triple blade that comes with the Headblade Sport.  It seems to do a good job, only minor irritation, when I tried to get my swirls really close.  So I changed to the 2 blade Atras, and the CVS 2 blade Atras.  They do work well, but a learning curve is i  order when changing, IMO.  I cut my head a few times with the 2 blade version, but it does seem to give a closer shave, but I tend to be much more careful with the 2 blade version.  I might be doing something, "Not exactly right" but I have to keep trying it since the 2 blades do seem to shave closer that the 3
