Just a little bit more info to answer some of the queries:
The listed products are parallel imports and were Made in EU, just like all other Senor/Sensor Excel products. In fact there is only one factory that manufactures Sensor Excel products for the western world and that is located in Poland.Check the bottom of your packaging :).
About the quality:
When Gillette developed the DLC (Diamond Like Coating) tech for Mach3 it was a game changer. It allowed the blades to be made tougher and thinner at the edge which resulted in less drag and irritation = better shave. This technology remained exclusive to the Mach3 franchise for a long while, taking Mach3 to the top in terms of volume and sales. It was no longer viable to manufacture two different spec steel and blades as economies of scale were suddenly missing for Sensor..so Gillette decided to use the same steel products for Sensor as for Mach3. This doesn’t make Sensor Excel the equal of Mach3 as there is a lot more tech behind that 3 blade product than just the blade, but it was a definite upgrade (around 2000). Both Mach3 and Sensor Excel were manufactured in Berlin, however Sensor Excel manufacture was moved to Poland after Procter & Gamble bought Gillette (around 2006).
If you happened to have lived in Europe you were offered 3 different Gillette safety blade (double edge) products: Red Stainless (regular), Blue Platinum (premium) and Astra (Basic), all three were identical products with the same steel, only the packaging and pricing was different (this was obviously not communicated), people still swore that one was better than the other :)…perception is not reality

    Dude, these are the best. None of this 5 blade expensive rubbish. These babies get the job done perfectly.

    EDIT: postage worked out at $7.40 for metro NSW, so $12.70 ($9 + $3.70) per unit effectively. For that postage cost, I'll pass. They are less then 1cm thick, you should just put them in a 0.70 envelope.

      Hi The Sly,

      The above instruction might be misleading, we meant that you can buy all you want 2x (provided there is still stock). If you get 4 packs it takes the cost down to $10.84/pack…Thanks for the suggestion, we thought about the envelopes, but that wouldn't protect the packaging from shipping damage..

      Cheers

  "This product is sourced internationally, parallel import. Guaranteed genuine product."

  Yeah… no thanks.
  I bought genuine import Gillette blades once, and they pull more than blades Ive bought locally and used until blunt.

  Parallel Import does mean that it matches quality of locally sourced products.
  No where in the online ad does it state that quality is guaranteed… just that its guaranteed to be a genuine import.

  Be very careful.

    Dear UFO,

    There is only 1 factory that makes real Gillette Sensor Excel in the world. The product is Made in the EU, where all other Gillette Sensor Excel products are made, this is not a fake and is the best way to beat local prices.

    Cheers
