Hey Ken. I recently picked up a Sensor. That's what I started with, but I hadn't used one since the 90s. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the shave was. I think these are harder to come by than the Atras and prior because they were all plastic, and nobody thought to save them. I remember the ads for the Sensor/Excel. I wanted one so bad because the commercials were so good! It really didn't have to be all that good to shave my one whisker back then, but it handles a whole bunch of them now with ease.

I still have my Gillette Sensor from the 90's too. My case says "Gillette Sensor 3" on it tho. All tho i still just use the 2 blade Excel carts in it. I also have my original Mach 3 with a Mach 3 case. It's weird they don't do cases like that anymore. I mean it's cool to have a holder and be able to put your extra carts underneath. 😁👍🏼💈

Great shave Ken and food comas are real, bahahahaha. I don't remember the Gillette Sensor Excell or Sensor too much because Gillette's flagship razor back in the early to mid 90's was the Mach 3 series which is what I started with and I really enjoyed the turbo version which had lubrication coatings on the blades. I'm guessing that the Gillette Fusion proglides were released in the early 2000's.

I didn’t have to do that one, but that’s ok. I ended up dodging the first cartridge shave for the first time in forever, which was a blessing in disguise. Have a good one!

I also bought my sensor excel razor in 1996 when it came out, I remember in the add showcasing the rubber flaps that help lift up your bristles to facilitate with the shave. When I returned back to Greece to look for it I found it in terrible condition, it was stained with some kind of hair dye and one of the plastic holders where you fasten the razor head was snapped. Anyway, I'm using only de so didn't mind. Have a great day buddy👍

The Sensor Excel actually came out in 93. I remember that specifically because that was the year I turned 18, and it was the first "premium" razor I bought myself now that I was an "adult" after growing up using the Bic and Gillette Good News disposables that mom and dad had in the bathroom. Getting some serious nostalgia from this, and feeling like I need to go listen to some Ace of Base and chug down a couple Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers. 😂

Hey there Ken! Great flash back video! The Astra and Sensor Excel were my go to's during the 90's. As far as Obsession, I had it, but preferred Eternity back in the day. Like many, during Covid I got back into collecting colognes from my past. Originally I planned on getting 6. Brut, Old Spice, Halston Z24, The Baron, Quorum and Eternity. Well, 75 bottles later. Guess you could say that I jumped into the deep end. 😅 LSS, I did buy a bottle of Obsession about 3 years ago. I pulled it out and gave it a try after watching your video. I will say, even though it has been reformulated, like most vintage colognes due to regulations on oak moss, etc, it still packs a punch. I used 4 sprays, 2 on the neck and 2 on my chest. I could still smell it on my T Shirt days later when I did the wash. Works for me. 😊 It performed much better than most of the current formulations of the classic fragrances of yester year. Fellow HB resident here. Well, until moving to Florida earlier this year. I blame you for getting me into wet shaving. Turning 61 on Sunday and had not used a DE razor before. 3 years later, I can't thank you enough. To me, such a better way to shave. I actually look forward to it now. Keep up the great work 👍

I went from the Atra to the sensor excel. The military moved me often. Around 2005 I found an old pack of my exel blades from the early years. There were much better than what I was buying at that time. I suspect the manufacturing was sent overseas and the quality dropped and wasn't noticed until I could compare them. Now I am a DE shaver.

I was born in 1985 and remember the adverts for this as a kid and getting one for my dad for father's day when i visited him. Razors seemed so cool in the 90s and the gillette sensor and excel always made me wish i was old enough to shave. By the time i was old enough it was the mach 3 era but it never felt as cool and stylish as the 90s sensor era. Still bummed that i missed that era.
