FAQs
How often should I replace the blades?
Blades should be replaced after 5-7 shaves, or sooner if the blade feels dull or if you experience pulling or irritation.
Can I use these blades on sensitive skin?
Yes, but be sure to use a good quality shaving cream or gel, shave with the grain, and rinse the blade frequently. If you experience irritation, consider using a different blade type.
Are these blades compatible with other razor handles?
Gillette Sensor Excel blades are only compatible with Gillette Sensor razor handles.
How should I store the blades?
Store the blades in a dry place after rinsing to prevent corrosion and prolong their life.
What should I do if the blade gets clogged?
Rinse the blade thoroughly under running water to remove hair and shaving cream. You may need to remove the blade from the handle and rinse it separately.
What is the benefit of the microfins?
The microfins gently stretch and hold the skin taut, which helps the blades cut the hair more effectively and reduce the chance of irritation.
Troubleshooting
Razor feels like it's pulling or not cutting smoothly.
Replace the blade. It may be dull or damaged.
Experiencing skin irritation or razor burn.
Ensure you are using a sharp blade and applying sufficient shaving cream. Consider shaving with the grain of your hair and rinsing the blade more frequently. If irritation persists, try a different shaving cream or aftershave.
Blades are difficult to attach to the handle.
Make sure the handle is clean and that you are correctly aligning the blade with the handle's attachment points. Apply firm, even pressure until the blade clicks into place.
