Gillette Sensor Excell 5pk for €5

Wineman

Spotted these in Superquinn Greystones, might be a local promo but there were box loads of them.

Gran Hermano

Probably the last good cartridge system from Gillette.
Much better than the Mach3 or fusion.
Less blades equals less irritation.

Good find OP.

Price reduction is a tad exaggerated, normally around 8 euro for a 5 pack in Boots/Tesco.

They are without the best gilette razor blades you can buy and the cheapest. I have used them since I stared shaving 7 years ago and I have only cut myself twice with them and they dont give razor burn or ingrown hairs like the expensive ones.

But they are near impossible to find atm at affordable prices, so I switched to a safety razor.

Great spot - please post if you spot these elsewhere around Dublin. Very good valie IMO.

I have been usung the Wilkinson Sword Xtreme 3 disposables for the last few years....was in Pavillions Swords yesterday.
8 pack in Boots was 10.99
Same 8 pack in Dunnes was €5.50 ...there was no price on them in store but was pleasantly surprised at the checkout.

Good find OP, but the Price tag says "Fusion Proglide Manual Razor", can you confirm if Gillette Sensor Excel offer is valid?

They have several razors to clear as well, maybe they put the pos under the wrong product but the Excel blades are definitely a fiver, the manager confirmed this to me.

thats brilliant! I thought I was the only person who thought sensor excel were the business. The mach 3 brigade are always laughing at me.

For me, its the weight of the handle and whole razor. I find the new razors (mach 3 etc.) way too light.

Wineman

Now €2.50 a pack

Agueroooo

Will these blades fit a Fusion handle?

Don't think they do

Great razor, fantastic price!

Is this offer in all Superquinns? Does it also apply to SuperValu?

Rashers72

Just checked in my local Supervalue and these were still Eur8.97. Post any stores where you see this offer, as would love to pick up a pack or two.

Has anyone found these blades at the ops price anywhere else around Dublin?

Greystones, apparently.

Wineman

Manager said its a local promo only, sorry folks.

Rashers72

Found these in Superquinn Ranelagh. EUR2.50 each. Bought 2 packs. 4 left. Thanks OP.

Gran Hermano

I wonder if they are clearing off stock with the intention to stop stocking them.
Gillette don't like it when people buy the older 'cheaper' range instead of the newer Fusion/Mach3.

brian_gall85

More than likely clearing old stock as the Superquinn brand will soon disappear and these are a very old model of razor now that most wholesalers no longer stock/aren't produced anymore?

They're on sale in dunnes every now and then. It's 100% free so that's why 8 cab be great value. Not disposable either, get a fair few shaves from them.

Rashers72

Anyone know where you can get the razors at a good price? Thought I had one, but I must have thrown it out. Seen them in boots for eur9 including 2 blades. Thanks.
