I honestly have not bought a new razor in decades: I'm still using the same Gillette Sensor handle that I bought in 1993. Sometime thereafter (though still in the 1990s) I upgraded to the Sensor Excel blades...and that's what I've been using ever since.

I don't really have any complaints per se. But I've been seeing all these swanky newfangled multi-blade razors showing up in stores and in my newsfeed lately, and I'm starting to wonder whether there's anything to them? I'd like to think that in nearly 30 years maybe technology has improved the simple wet shaving experience...maybe?

So what's the deal? Anyone using the Harry's 5-blade razor, or the Dollar Shave Club 4- or 6-blade razor? Are these all hype, or is there really something to these products that improves upon the experience of shaving with my antiquated Sensor Excel?

Thanks.
