...problem in the form of Gillette for Women, Sensor Excel. This pale green razor has a soft, non-slip grip, making it ideal to use in the bath or shower. The flexible inter-changeable head has protective mircofins, making for a closer, smoother and safer shave. The blade cartridges are impregnated with aloe and vitamin E lubrastrip, moisturising the skin during the shave to leave it smooth and soft. The twin blades on a spring-mounted head are sharp ... ...to the skin, before shaving. Gillette recommends their Satin Care Shave Gel. This helps to reduce friction on the skin, allowing the razor to glide over the skin effortlessly.
4) Start at the easiest area and work up to the hard to reach points, such as the armpits or knees.
5) Always try to shave in the direction of hair growth (less drag, hence less razor burn).

Advantages: Sexily smooth legs Disadvantages: Having to replace the blades so often
I've used Gillette razors since i started shaving my legs as a naive little 12 year old. I previously owned a Gillette Sensor razor, but have since upgraded to the newer, slightly more classy, Sensor Excell. The difference? Not actually a great deal, except the Excell come in a choice of 3 funky colours-silver, pink and purple. I obviously chose the purple! (Not that it makes much difference to the shaving capability, but its nice to co-ordinate ... ...4.99, which is comparable with most other womens razors. I do find, however, that the refill blades are quite expensive, at about 4.50 for 5, since you need to change them quite regularly. The razor itself has a fantastic anti-slip grip handle, which makes life in the shower so much more easy! The only problem i find with this though, is the fact it can start to go black and icky (as in mouldy) if you leave the razor in the moist shower environment ...

Advantages: Leaves my legs smooth Disadvantages: Expensive blades
On television they state that Gillette is the best a man can get. Obviously they forget that us girls need the help of a razor from time to time. Granted it is for a different area and a different job but we still need to rely on the blade.
Thankfully, I discovered the answer to smooth legs thanks to my hubby. He has been a Gillette user for years and I noticed he always feels the smoothest when he has used his Sensor razor.
I decided to investigate ... ...replacements.
There are a range of matching gels that moisturise as well as soften the skin when shaving made by Gillette. I find these give a better shave when used with this razor.
I think the Gillette Sensor is simply the best woman's tailored razor on the market today. ...

Advantages: Aloe vera strip moisturises skin Disadvantages: Expensive
...you can go to Asda, however, and buy 5 women’s disposable razors with aloe vera strip for about £1.50, forking out for the Gillette and its refills isn’t worth it. As a complete miser, I don’t mind risking the occasional minor cut for the sake of saving a few quid. ...

Advantages: ncie looking, reliable Disadvantages: blades wear out pretty fast
This razor is not a bad razor, the design is such that you have an excellent grip on the razor and in my many years of using this product, i have never lost grip on it before. When used with a new blade, the shave is extremely close and regrowth takes a few days to show, however, with anything less than a new blade, the shave is definitely not as close as one would like.
The razor itself looks quite funky and thatis one reason why i chose it above ...

Advantages: the colour, works well Disadvantages: none
After deciding I needed to get a new razor I looked around the shops to find a suitable one. Whilst in Boots I saw the Gillete Sensor for women razor and decided to give it a try. This razor looked better than any of the others that I saw on offer and so my hardest decision about buying it was what colour should I buy it in? Handily for women, Gillete have created three new very pretty razors, one in pink, one in blue and one in an icy white colour. ... ...Overall I found this razor to be excellent quality. It was small enough to fit handily into a small space to carry around, it also worked very well and didn't irritate my skin at all. New blades for these razors are azailable everywhere and so are the razors, so they are definitely not hard to get hold of. THey are excellent quality and great value for money. I would definitely reccomend these. ...

Advantages: good grip Disadvantages: can be expensive for refills
I was searching through the shops when i came across the sensor excel for women. I was sick of using disposible razor so i thought i would give it a try.
It cost me around £4:00, which i thought was quiet reasonable. I found that the razor had a really close shave and there was a good grip on it. It was easy to control and it didn't slip or anything.
It is specially designed for woman so they can reach all those hard to get places and i would recommend ...

Advantages: Very fast hair removal Disadvantages: stubbly legs 2 days later
...to do??? ***
Grab your Gillette Sensor Excell for women and some gorgeous Satin care razor gel (or equivalent)and get shaving!
***The razor is easy to spot:***
Nice wide turquoise handle, with rubber gripping, so you don't slip (easily done if you have nothing to hold onto)
The blades are un-guarded and have a lubricated strip, which to be honest doesn't do that much!
You are left with a very close shave- i prefer the un-guarded blades, however ... ...very careful!
The blades last quite long- i would say about 8-10 uses, perhaps more if you take care of your razor!
The replacement blades can be bought almost anywhere, and cost roughly £5 for 5 blades or £8 for 10.
I would thoroughly recommend buying them if you are on the european continent, as they are about 1/3 of the price!
The razor itself is about £ 3.99 to £5.99 depending on special offers (Tip: now the venus razor has come onto the ...

Advantages: good value for money, lasts a long time, great close shave Disadvantages: none really
Gillette Sensor Razor for women is excellent. For around a fiver you get a sleek attarctive green razor with rubber grips for good grips, more control and less cuts, and several razor heads. The razor heads last a long time and the head is jointed so that it can move around your curves so you get a closer shave. Its the safest razor I have ever used and I have not had any of those ghastly gashes that you don't notice until youve got out of the bath! ...

Advantages: Cheap and easy to use Disadvantages: New blades are expensive
After becoming sick of those little disposable razors I decided to go for the Gilette Sensor Excel. At £4.99 it comes cheap and is flexible with an easy grip and it comes in 3 funky colours. It is the most quick and efficient form of hair removal, and even with a sharp blade, its flexibility means no cuts or scraped skin with a perfect finish. The only real disadvantages are how the razors become blunt easily, and refills for the razor are quite ...

Advantages: Good grip on handle of razor Disadvantages: Did not shave very close and price
I bought some Gillette Ladies' disposable razors and must admit that they did not live up to Gillette's good reputation. I found them to be slightly blunt and they could only be used twice before they were ready for the bin. I have used Gillette's Sensor razor in the past and had no problems at all but have found the disposables to be very disappointing. The razor left my left with a rash and the blade did not get as close as the other razors I have ... ...do not mean to put Gillette down as they are normally a good brand of shaving products but I think the ladies disposables need further testing as there is definite room for improvement. I must admit that the grip on the razor itself was fairly good but that is not the most important thing I look for in a razor. ...

Advantages: Easy to keep separate from partner's razors! Disadvantages: None
As a throw-away razor user for many years I decided it was time for a change. After seeing it advertised on TV I decided to give it a try. I was attracted to this because of its shape and colour and the fact that it looks so different from the others on the market. I also wanted to see if there was a difference between 'mens' and 'womens' razors.
On using it I was extremely impressed at it's flexibility and value
