24 Personna Tri-flexxx Cartridges - For all Gillette Sensor and Personna Tri-flexxx Razors (3 X 8 Ct.)

I want to preface my review by saying a little something about my face type,which few reviewers have addressed,but I feel is very important in regards to shaving results. I'm 48 years and have what most call "baby faced" skin...I.E. sensative skin. I also have what I would consider normal facial hair growth. I dont have to shave EVERYDAY but by the end of the day that I DIDN'T shave,I will start to get noticeable stubble. I don't have a "rugged " face or skin or have the kind of face that has "hard shadow" with a 24 hour period. I can grow a FULL beard...and have.Now,with that said, these blades are actually very good. I find them even better than the original Sensor Excel blades. I have used one blade for exactly a month (10 uses,roughly 3 times a week, no weekends) . The Personna is still sharp and has had minimal dullness. The lubricating stripes aren't dry yet and here's the important part: I have yet to get a skin rash or burns and get minimal cuts,even in my most sensative areas (below my jawbone ,lower mustache area and under my nose). It's also very good at getting tight areas,considering the triple blades and detail work (trimming my sideburns and hairline on the back of my neck).As well all know,the cost of blades in stores is RIDICULOUSLY expensive,which I find incredibly ironic, as I DESPISE shaving...if it were up to me,I'd have a Will Arnett," LAST MAN ON EARTH" beard. But the low cost,great shave and durability has got me more than sold on this blade. I bought a year's worth. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do the same! You won't regret it.....and think of the money you'll save!

Well, I waited several months to write a review and give this an actual chance. Overall, I give these 4 stars.I shave about once a week to every 10 days (hey, I'm a lazy guy) - usually when my beard starts itching to the point I can no longer stand it. On occasion, I shave more frequently if there's something important going on. To tell you how long I go between shaves, and how long I use a blade, I've had these for several months now, and I just started my 2nd blade.When I haven't shaved for a week, these blades tend to clog up more than my normal Gillette blades. If shave before showering, these feel like they're ripping the hairs out, rather than cutting them. If I shower first, I get a nice, comfortable shave. I actually did side-by-side comparisons between this blade and my last Gillette blade (both new) - I would do half my face with each one. The Gillette gave a much nicer shave if I shave before I shower. If I shave after I've showered, the results and feeling aren't much different. I do spend more time cleaning these blades than I do the Gillette ones.If I go two days without shaving and then shave, again, the Gillette blades win if I don't shower first, and it's even if I shower first.As far as the longevity of the blade goes, that goes to the Gillette bladed, but only because I think they're sharper to start with.Overall, for the money, they're a great value, and work well enough once I learned their limitations (I always shower before shaving with these blades). Even if I go through these blades twice as fast as Gillette ones, they're still about 30% cheaper....

The Gillette Sensor has been around for a while now. I liked it when it came out, but when the Mach 3 arrived, I figured I'd give the new technology a shot. I hated it.So I went back to my old, reliable Sensor and have been a shaving Luddite ever since, ignoring all the new "advances" in technology--no vibrating, multi-colored plastic monstrosities that look like some kind of child's toy for me!But finding reasonably priced blades to fit the Sensor was a problem, until I ran across he Personna blades at a local grocery store a few years back. They fit my razor and cost less than the Gillette cartridges. But they vanished a few months ago. So I bought some of the regular Sensor cartridges again. What a disappointment! Only two blades, pricey, not nearly as close a shave, and they lasted 3-4 weeks at most.So I was THRILLED to discover the Personna cartridges again on Amazon, and for even less than I'd been paying locally. These are excellent, long-lasting, three-blade cartridges that deliver a closer shave (for me, anyhow) than the regular two-blade Gillette product. And at this price, they're a steal!One other commenter said he was getting six months out of each cartridge--I don't think I've had quite that kind of longevity from them, but a couple of months (or more) of smooth shaves is easily in the ballpark. I figure one order of these should last me three or four YEARS. Shaving hasn't been this cheap since I was 16, used a Gillette Adjustable 1-9 double-edged razor, and stole the blades from my dad!
