#Schick quattro razor skin

Them a tad expensive, and spent the next 23 or so months trying to find a product

Used these Schick 'titanium' Quattro razor blades about 2 years ago. What is essential for you guys (or girls) to know is the backdrop. So here goes my review and I hope it helps you make your decision. I owe this to Amazon as I usually make my decisions based on what other people think of the products. If I do not write a review for these cartridges it will be just a shame. Buy them and set up the automatic ship feature, as the price is much lower not to mention the convenience. It would be an impossibility for me to recommend the Quattro Titanium blades more strongly than I do. The ability to so closely shave in the morning makes the 5 'o clock a gratefully forgotten memory.įinally, I am happy to say that I no longer look for the next, great thing to suddenly show up in the shaving aisle. Additionally, I can now comfortably shave in almost any direction and regularly shave with, across and against the grain without suffering burn or bumps. I was, maybe, able to get four out of a Gillette before my face and, especially my neck, resembled a constellation of red bumps along with the day-long agony of serious razor burn. The Schick blades provide virtually perfect shaves for over a week and continue to do so until, I don't know, the blades just sort of quit. What I know now is that Gillette is utter crap. The shave I got using the Titanium was very close, very comfortable and utterly effective an unbelievable shave, and I have to shave every morning (yep, even weekends). However, caught by the simple, white package and the word 'titanium,' I decided to break protocol and give Schick's new offering a chance which resulted in a paradigm shift in a long-held belief structure. Like so many, I had become convinced that Gillette products were the best one could expect something which my face hated and constantly argued against. Schick Quattro Cartridges, Titanium Coated Blades, 4 cartridges (Pack of 2) I have long been searching for a shaving system capable of delivering what I believed a myth: The very close, very comfortable and, of paramount importance, very effective blade cartridge. I just keep coming back to the Schick Quattro Titanium! And after buying all the expensive European creams, soaps,and balms, not to mention the razors, the total cost per shave is no bargain, despite the lower cost of blades. The process is a lot slower, with three or four passes, and if you try to hurry, you will bleed even more.

At best, the shave is incredibly close, but for me, that almost always results in a bunch of tiny scabs where any small bumps in my skin are sheared off. I've also spent a fair amount of time trying to perfect a double-edge shave, with some top-of-the-line Euro, US and Japanese razors and a variety of well-regarded blades. Even though it sounded like a good idea when they first came out, the Gillette power razors make make enough noise that you can't hear if you're cutting stubble and doesn't seem to improve the shave in speed, comfort, or closeness. I can't tell that the Fusion Proglide Power is any better than the Mach3 Sensitive. You can save even more and buy a seemingly identical cartridge at Costco stores under the Edge Brand name, complete with a nice shiny black metal razor. I've been buying the 2x4 packages on Subscribe & Save, but I now see that the 8 packs are available at a $2.15 each, even without the S&S. They're a relative bargain at $2.32 each on Amazon (compared to $2.90 for the Mach3 Sensitive and $4 for Fusion Proglide Power cartridges, which don't perform any better for me). Hardly ever a nick or bump shaving in the shower after a preliminary dry shave with an excellent Panasonic ES8249S. It is perhaps a bit less irritating than the Gillette Mach3 Sensitive, while shaving equally close and lasting 10-14 days (compared to about a week for the Mach3). My current wet-shaving razor of choice is the Schick Quattro Titanium.
