Title: Quattro Users?
Post by: Asher on December 15, 2007, 10:49:23 PM: basically, in my ongoing search for the perfect shave, i've tried the mach 3 turbo, the schick quattro, the gillette atra, and a couple others not worth mentioning. the quattro, despite the ridiculousness of it, is really great for me so far. it has a feeling of 'vacuuming' up the hair--like that drag you feel but in a comfortable way. i haven't been nicked, have minimal burn after five shaves with the same razor. anybody use this blade/have anything to add/suggest?
i'm going to continue experimenting forever, but i think i might have found the right blade for me. though so many here are adamant about the fusion.

The Fusion probably gives just as good of a shave but at a more expensive price. I've had great results with my Quattro and have had very few problems. I think the Quattro has been way too under-rated.

Started with the FUSION almost a year ago and have never had to try anything else.

And, no, you and/or your family will not wind up in a homeless shelter because of the added expense.

Rob, I'll agree the cheap-skate side of me does tend to come through on this issue. But I honestly do not find that the Fusion does a better job than the Quattro. They really do about the same. So, if I can get as good a shave for a cheaper price....You bet I'm gonna do it...Cheap-skate or not.

I would have thought the Quattro would have been awesome based on my liking of the Xtreme III, but I had terrible results. I'm glad you Quattro users are getting great results... that's what it's all about, finding what works.

I never had a problem with my Quattro, but I did try the Fusion because I kept hearing everyone talking about it. Both works extremely well so I switch back and forth between the two.

It is a good razor, as is the Fusion, I still have blades for the quattro so thats why it gets use. never had a problem with it on the face or skull just takes longer.
