Yesterday I thought I’d compare the Gillette Fusion to the Gillette Sensor 3. (The Sensor 3 is the disposable variant, as I can only seem to find blades for the Sensor Excel but no handles for sale in the supermarkets…)
Surely the 5 bladed Fusion would destroy the ancient and cheap Sensor 3?

The Sensor 3’s blades are further apart, where as the Fusion’s blades are very close together.

The Fusion has more weight (I presume because the Sensor 3 is a disposable), but feels more difficult to maneuver.
I shaved half my face with the Sensor 3 and the other with the Fusion. The Sensor 3 cut and glided smoothly, and the Fusion seemed to want to pull the hair out more than to cut it.
The end result looked the same, but the Sensor 3 got there a lot easier.
The Fusion is also a complete rip off in terms of price. The Sensor 3’s are less than half the price.
I’d wouldn’t recommend the Fusion to anyone, and I’d recommend the Sensor 3 to everyone.
