Taconic Heavyweight Sensor-Compatible Triple Blade Pivot Razor | Heavyweight Pivoting Handle Accepts Sensor And Sensor Excel Cartridges And Includes One Preloaded Triple Blade Cartridge

This is an excellent razor handle. I really like how it has heft, and feels great in your hand. Most of the handle is made of metal, whereas the top, where the razor cartridge fits in, is made of plastic. However, overall, the razor handle is very weighty (in a good way) and feels great while shaving.For the past several months, I was using the typical plastic handle that I bought on Amazon (the original equipment handle). However, I was getting cut, nicked, and just not getting a close shave. I thought it was the Sensor 3 blades, and somehow they were not made as well as in the past. But then I got this handle. Honestly, the blades feel completely different. I am not sure if it is psychological, but I am getting the best shaves of my life. I think because the handle has some weight and heft, I don't feel the need anymore to put any pressure to shave. As a result, I am sticking to Sensor 3 blades.I have just one issue with the handle. I shave in the shower. Obviously, the handle gets wet and slick with shaving cream, water, etc. There are grippers on the handle at the top and bottom, but nothing in the middle. The middle of the handle is very smooth. A few times, the handle almost slipped out of my hand. I know in other reviews, people said they dropped their handle and it broke. That makes sense. So what did I do? I McGyvered a fix. I just bought a cheap roll of hockey stick tape (the tape you put on the blade, which is pretty water resistant). I literally put two one-inch pieces of tape around the handle, and the handle is now tacky enough that it is very unlikely to slip out of my hand. The roll of tape cost $5.78, and unfortunately, I only used about 2 inches of it, but perhaps a similar cloth tape that you have at home already will do. With that fix, the handle is even better, and perfectly secure in my hand. Please see the pictures attached.All in all, this a great handle. It's a little pricey, but as I said, for some reason this handle seems to shave so much better than those light plastic handles.

Most of the other reviews are correct. This handle is indeed surprisingly heavy. When I first switched from the Gillette Sensor handle it took a couple weeks to get used to this one and I was getting nicks until I figured out how to grip the handle. I won’t get into specifics because my hands and face are not the same size and shape as yours, but yes, the center of the handle is slippery and you will need to figure out how to hold it so you’re holding at least one of the “grippy” sections. Now that I’ve gotten used to the handle, I can tell that the added weight gives me much better control of the razor. It is also true that the part that grips the razor blade itself is a bit loose, and if you drop the handle the razor blade will certainly pop out. On the other hand, I appreciate the tiny bit of “wiggle”, having learned to take advantage of it to shave smoothly around corners. The finish on the handle eventually degrades (especially if you use it in the shower, as i do) and the part that grips the blade gets looser over time. I’ve had mine over two years now and am just starting to think about replacing it, so i’d say it’s a good value. Despite the peeling finish and loose blade grip it’s totally usable, so I figure it’ll be at least another year before I really need to replace it.

I have a love/hate relationship with this razor handle. The handle itself is fantastic... very solid and heavy. It does, indeed, seem to provide a smoother shave due to its weight. I have a heavy beard and this razor handle pulls through smoothly without the snagging feeling that I get with lighter handles.Unfortunately, the razor head seems to be simply a factory Gillette plastic head glued into the heavy handle. This works okay, as long as you don't drop it! If you drop the handle (or it falls because the suction cup shaving mirror with razor holder you are using lets go) it seems to fall head first and the plastic tabs on the head that hold the blade cartridge break off easily.I have broken two in less than a year and am on my third one. Frustrating, but I like the weight and solidness of the handle to spend the money to replace them. I will no longer be using the razor holder on my suction cup shaving mirror however!

Hard to believe that such a mundane product is worth a five star review. Handle is 100% metal and has lasted far longer than typical razor handles. Nicely balanced with several features that serve as good holding spots. Works fine Sensor blades and just as well with blades made by Taconic. It does take some time to get use to how heavy it is.

I’ve been really impressed with this Taconic Shave razor. The heavyweight metal handle feels solid and well-balanced in the hand, giving it a premium feel compared to lightweight disposable razors. The Gillette Sensor-compatible pivoting head glides smoothly across the skin and does a great job following facial contours.The included blade delivered a close, comfortable shave with very little irritation, and I appreciate being able to use readily available Sensor and Sensor Excel compatible cartridges. The textured grip also provides good control, even with wet hands.If you’re looking for a durable, traditional-style cartridge razor with a quality metal handle and smooth shaving performance, this is an excellent choice.

Not a good product. The razor cartridge falls off of this handle frequently. I would not purchase this again or recommend it to anybody else.

The razor handle has a nice weight and balance. Blade came broken.

Great razor and handle. It is heavy duty and replaces my Gillette Sensor handle I have had for a long time. It finally broke in half and had a lot of rust inside. I am super happy to have found a replacement that accepts the sensor and excel cartridges as they are one of the few types to be able to shave up, down, sideways and be able to get close to nose and lips. So many of today's multi-blade razors don't get the precision closeness as the sensor type blades do. I would highly recommend this handle replacement and it came with one replacement cartridge as a bonus.

Perfecto

Though the razor looks good with metallic finish, the package came without the blade.

Excelente mango, se siente pesado y resistente, no se safan los repuestos como con los mangos plásticos originales de Gillette, esperemos que sea duradero.
