Review on Ultimate Value: Gillette Sensor Razor Refill Cartridges 20 Count (2x10 Pack) by April Andrews

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product that Gillette is too stupid to sell here in the US.

Could Gillette be any dumber? This is a testament to what happens when shareholders are more important than customers. I've been using the Gillette Sensor for almost 30 years and it's ridiculous to think you can't buy a stylus in the US anymore (when I needed to replace my last one, I ordered it here at Revain after finding out there was no longer no available in general stores and the one I got was from India). And while I've found replacement blades at insanely high prices at Target, I bought them here at Revain. The price was much better. While some discussion here revolves around whether the blades are made in Germany or Poland, the ones I received were made in Australia. These aren't fakes as many here claim, they're simply made abroad because Gillette is trying to force us to use five-blade razors. Here in the US I have news for Gillette: the Sensor/Sensor Excel is about as well shaved as most men will ever need, but stockholders don't care about a good quality cash cow product. I heard two P&G executives on the plane divulge all the company secrets and they grieved how they were killed by the Dollar Shave Club and all these smaller members and they blamed everything but that simple concept. product and they killed it here in the US. I gave it 4 stars because I prefer slightly better Excel blades.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Almost everything is here
