Result was the same as with the Jack Black - the Quattro wasn't shaving close at all. It's a shaken together mix of Proraso Gel which I don't like much, and an oily shave cream which improved the Proraso gel. I was wondering if somehow the Jack Black had gone off.įor the shave after that I used my mixture shave cream that I'd been using successfully for two months. I had to go and use my nearly blunt Shick Hydro 3 to redo the areas, I'd done - and it gave a good close shave. The next shave, however, was with Jack Black Beard Lube - and the razor wasn't working properly - it wasn't shaving close at all, leaving clumps of half cut off beard bristle. I used the Quattro razor for two shaves where I was using my shave sticks and brush, and the results were excellent - much better than with my nearly blunt Schick Hydro 3 cartridge razor, which I had been using the previous six weeks. I shave every two days, unless I have some event I need to be fresh shaven for. If you are saving your pennies, this is a money-saving cartridge razor (if it’s all about saving money, think about a safety razor).I bought a Schick Quattro Titanium which apparently has titanium and diamond in the blades. It’s a top razor based on price, and hard to find better without losing quality. I like that the Quattro has only four blades it is plenty enough, and we get no real extra benefit from five. If you usually shave daily without skin flare-ups, this razor is definitely one to consider. It does not have the same level of mildness as the Gillette SkinGuard (very mild), but the Quattro provides a closer shave than the SkinGuard. The razor has a kind of protective nature, likely because of the fine vertical wires. While it is not the best for heavier coarse growth, it does shine for those with sensitive skin that pick up nicks and irritations easily. The Schick Quattro Titanium was a pleasant surprise and was a better razor than I expected. *The official Schick website prices Final Thoughts – Who do I recommend buys and uses the Schick Quattro Titanium Razor? It’s good value compared to some of the more expensive Gillette razors, and the quality balance with costs is decent. This is one point where the Quattro shines. You will find that lighter shaving foams or gels work better with this razor which washes away more easily compared to higher-performing soaps and creams that offer great lubrication but tend to be thicker. As mentioned above, the fine wires are likely to encourage clogging. While shaving, I had to rinse the razor under the tap often to keep the blades free from clogging, as the Quattro does clog up quickly. While I am not good for daily shaving with most razors, many other guys will find the Quattro ideal because of its mildness. Two consecutive days were my limit just for testing purposes –to prevent further irritation. The razor preferred two days of growth, but I did need to go over the same areas a few times.ĭaily shaving was okay, but I did (as I often do) pick up some redness. This initial patchy shave on heavy growth is to be expected with a mild razor suitable for sensitive to normal skin. However, the patches were soon cleared up after two passes and a good few extra clearing up strokes. On my first shave, I tackled 3 days of growth and found straight away that this razor was smooth, but I was left quite patchy. If I grow more than 3 days, I tend to trim with an electric trimmer first as there is no point in making blades and razors overwork, so three was the limit with this razor.
