Customer Reviews

If two heads are better than one, why stop there?


Never would I have imagined myself reviewing such an obscure item as the Schick Quattro High Performance Disposable Razor, but I am seriously impressed with this product. Enslaved by expedience, I have grabbed my last bag of single-blade disposable razors from the shelf. With four blades, the Quattro is amazing, smooth and bloodless. This is an essential grooming product I have never given much thought to until I received a sample of the Quattro through a promotion. Now it will be a staple grooming aid in my considerable arsenal.

As time goes by, I find it is the little things that make me happy, a movie that doesn't shatter my ear drums, a driver who uses turn signals, a meal uninterrupted by a ringing phone- and my new best friend- the Schick Quattro. Luan Gaines/ 2008.

Very good, sharp razors that rival non-disposables
These are the best disposable razors I've tried in all my years of shaving. The blades hold their sharpness even after several months of regular use. I don't have thick facial hair, but I do need a quick shave every 2-3 days to keep a beard from developing. They can be reused for a while, and your mileage will vary. When the razor gets clogged up with hairs, a few strong taps (face down) against the sink loosens them out and I can resume shaving.

The construction of the razor itself is very high quality, with a thick plastic handle and rubberized textured grip to prevent slipping. The 4 blades really do make a big difference. They cut faster, so you need fewer strokes across your face. Fewer strokes means less abrasion and irritation. The difference was made clear to me again last week when I decided to try a pack of BIC Twin Select Twin Blade Razor For Men, 10-Count (Pack of 12). The Quattro outperforms the BIC's easily.

I recommend these razors, especially if you have sensitive skin like mine. The blades actually are detachable, if you can find replacements that fit.

More Blades NOT Necessarily Better
I'm not a particularly hairy guy (altho I can grow a passable mustache/beard in about a week), and I prefer an electric razor for daily use. But I do use a blade-razor for neck-trimming & special-occasion clean-ups, and was hoping to like the Men's Quattro disposable I received with a recent Sunday LA Times newspaper.

One BIG like: You put the lube strip in the proper location! Why others put the lube strip ABOVE the blades (so it puts down the cutting aid AFTER the cut has been made) has always escaped me.

Two problems: First, in the Blade Wars, more blades does NOT = better razor. The blades of the Quattro are so closely-spaced and so recessed in the cutting head that they clog up with whisker residue too easily. And it's impossible to rinse clean in standing water - or even with a shower-stream (hand-clearing is dangerous). I can't just "whip" the head through the basin water to clear the blades of stubble & fur.

Second, as an environmentalist, I see no need to make the ENTIRE razor disposable. There does not appear to be a safe way to detach the blade-containing head from the handle - to facilitate recycling at least part of the assembly. And mixing hard- and resilient plastic types on the handle will only complicate the recycling process.
