Not as close of a shave as I would like, but I've still been using this razor for years. Smooth and easy to handle. And since razors are so expensive, try cleaning your blade with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide after a couple uses. Just don't use it immediately after. Also, using cool water (not cold) during the shaving process (rinsing the blade) will make it feel less irritating. At least rinse your face when you're done with cool water, that's ancient advice. Carry on.

Best razor out there, minimal skin irritation, good shave. I reccomend with the use of "King of Shaves clear shaving gel for very sensitive skin".

Its the white tube with blue writing.

This is a great razor. Years ago I used the Mach 3 / Turbo and the irritation is what kept me from shaving often. I then tried going the electric route which was less irritating but felt dirty. Not sure what it is about it. This on the other hand is awesome. Very minor irritation, if any. It also gives me a close enough shave.

Hi well, I use the sensor excel with two blades and it works magic with my skin. Try and use the Aveeno shaving creams they have better moisturizers for skin. Oh yeah and the prolong the effect of the shave so you shave less often = less irritation.

I have used both the Sensor Excel and the Mach 3 Turbo. While I like the Sensor Excel and believe the value is good, I prefer the Mach 3 Turbo because it provides a closer shave. In light of the the Mach 3 causing a little more irritation than the Excel, I have found that rinsing with cold water takes care the discomfort.

Hands down, the best razor/blade on the market. Shaves like butter if you shave after a shower. For acne, don't bother with the triple IMHO, too much irritation. The double is perfect balance. If you require a really close shave (hot date, wedding etc), shower, lather, shave with grain (one clean stroke, no pressure), lather again, shave against grain (one clean stroke, no pressure), wash with gentle soap (e.g Cetaphil), moisturize.
