Schick Quattro For Women Review

I hate how expensive these things are! But I still keep buying them!

I have been using Schick Quattro for quite some time now. You can usually find it on sale at the supermarket so it makes me feel like I've had a wee win for the day. This is one of those products I refuse to purchase full price as I know I will find them on sale one day.

I love the way that the handle feels in the hand. The pink/peach parts have a rubberised finish so it stays in your hand quite well, despite my uncoordinated-ness I don't drop it (that often). I like that the moisturising bars don't swell up with the moisture in the bathroom making it harder to get a close shave (heres looking at you Venus). The main reason that I keep purchasing this product it that the blades themselves last a decent amount of time before starting to dull.

This will be a staple in my bathroom for a long time to come.

For the last 6 or so years I've been using the Schick intuition shavers (the ones with the soap around the blade), i find these good but I've been wanting a change and I had a quattro blade in my cupboard to try out.

I am used to shaving in the shower but I've decided to star shaving with foam or cream out of The shower so I can get every hair, i usually always miss a patch otherwise.

anyway, my first impressions of this Razor is that it looks really nice and sleek. I like how the handle is a soft gel/rubber so it feels really nice to hold and it's also a pretty peach color with sparkles in it too.

It has 4 blades and also some conditioning strip around it. The blades give me such a close shave, it doesn't catch on my leg at all and makes it feel silky smooth. I'm not sure if it's the conditioning strip or the fact that I moisturize my legs straight away but I have no dryness issues during the rest of the day. I might get the odd small cut on my knee if I go to fast around that area but my knees are kid of k nobly and I cut them with any other blade I use Anyway!

I think because the 4 blades give me such a close shave, that I also get longer out of the shave vas well which is always a Bonus! I keep my blade in a cupboard after us nd I've used it quite a few times now and it's still perfectly sharp. I know from looking at the supermarket, that the blades are expensive but I guess they all are anyway and because it seems to last a long time and I have to shave less, than I feel like it evens Out!

For years I used disposable razors, which did the trick, but also left me with nicks and grazes whenever I shaved (that’s more of a testament to my clumsiness than to disposable razors actually, but still). One day, however, my stingy self had a momentary lapse and I found this Schick Quattro razor in my shopping basket – funny how stuff like that sometimes happens. ;) And well, what can I say, this has changed my views – I’m not planning to invest in any more disposables any time soon!

I love the way this looks and feels: the orange textured rubber makes it very easy to grip, and the handle is shaped to fit comfortably in your hand. The head tilts as you move it, which I initially thought would be really annoying, but actually works super well when I’m shaving around my knees, etc. It comes with a little suction hook/hanger thing so it can be stored easily and tidily on the shower wall.

The razor heads have conditioning strips on the top and bottom. Unlike some razors, these aren’t too thick, so they don’t affect the closeness of the shave, but they do help it glide along really smoothly. Personally I always use a shower gel or conditioner (my fave!) as well, but the conditioning strips are handy for in a pinch. The heads are really easy to replace also – they just click on and off.

I find that these give a really close shave, but I never cut or nick my legs with the blades. This is a big deal to be honest, as I’m a pro at doing just that, no matter how hard I try. However the best aspect of these as opposed to other razors is that the blades stay sharp and useable for a relatively long time – I can get a good month’s use out of one head (maybe more, but that’s a bit gross to think about so we’ll pretend I don’t actually do that). That means, even though the blades are fairly pricey, I don’t actually have to repurchase them that often.

I’m definitely a convert!

I was so excited to receive a complimentary razor through a sample company - especially as I'm in a 'I refuse to buy a new razor whilst I'm IPLing' state of mind. But to be honest, my current razor was black with rust, so getting a new one was excellent timing. Unfortunately, my old plastic unfancy rusty one still does a better job.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Schick Quattro - I really like how pretty it is, how sturdy, and how it feels nice to hold as I shave. Unfortunately I find the head too big to get into the nooks and crannies of my armpit, and the conditioning strip puffed up after the first use meaning I couldn't get a close shave, which rendered the 'long-lasting silky smoothness' claim invalid.

Alas, I chucked out my old razor the moment this arrived on my doorstep, so I'm stuck with it. Although I'm thinking I should just stop being so pigheaded and buy another pack of unfancy razors - that do a much better job for a third of the price.

I found this razor very easy to use with great coverage and smooth results. I found the first sweep cut the hairs and I didn't need to go over the same patch of skin twice. It was easy to hold and manoeuvred well around curves especially in the arm pit. Cleaning was very simple also. I am very happy with this product and will continue to use it.

I don't normally shave - I epilate and then shave to get any hairs that I missed. However, this razor does an excellent job. It gets a really close shave to leave your skin silky smooth.

My favourite thing about this razor is that it's made of metal and rubber so it'll last you ages. I like how it feels in my hand - the added weight gives a better sense of control.

This Schick razor is my current razor at the moment. Schick is the main brand I associate with hair removal, so it's a brand I reach for all the time when I do my shopping.

This razor looks great quality, as it's of a sturdy metal that feels comfortable in your hands. I love the pretty look of it, which is clear that it's mine (and not my fiancées).

The four blades makes removing hair easy, it glides over your skin taking off the required hair effortlessly. I find razors that have more blades, such as this are far superior.

I've had this razor for a long time now, and I just replace the blades when they feel blunt. The cartridges can be slightly pricey, but I much prefer the close shave and hair removal from this razor, than disposable razors.

A great razor that I would recommend highly and definitely repurchase in the future.

I was sent a razor from the company as they were giving a heap of them away and who doesn't love a freebie?

I don't know why there is such a difference between men's and women's razors but nearly every women's razor I have tried just doesn't cut as smooth and easily as the men's if they just put pink plastic on a men's razor instead of the blue and called it ladies i would be happy!

This razor is the same it just doesn't cut right down to the skin. After I shaved my legs they still felt "stubbly" and I found it particularly hard to shave over my knees and my pits. The only thing I really liked about this was it was easy to hold. Will I buy again? Nope, I think I will stick to men's razors and waxing

This is the razor that I think I have liked the best in the history of me using a razor, since my early teen years. It does the job and does it well. Cheap razors tend to nick the skin and cause cuts that bleed but I have not yet cut my self with this razor, which we all know is a big selling point! It glides on your legs smooth and makes your legs very smooth. It does a really good job with armpit hairs too, sometimes I don't even use soap or shaving gel and it works just the same! The only downside, as with most razors these days is the blades, buying them is soooo expensive! And I think you only get 3 when you buy the razor. Saying that, they tend to last a long time before going blunt. I really like the colour of the razor, the orange is feminine and cute and the style is awesome too. I also like that it doesn't rust in the shower like I have seen some razors do.

I've been shaving for almost 20yrs now so have been through trying my fair share of razors. From trying cheap to expensive this one is my holy grail and I wouldn't waste my money on any other now.

The razor comes with a blade on it already which has a cover and there's a spare one in a compact (which could fit 4 blades so would be great if they filled it up as seems a waste) this is made for easy switch of blades. It also comes with a suction shower holder which takes up minimal space (they are also handy for hanging loofahs on).

Its easy non slip grip works perfectly in wet conditions and I've never cut myself with this razor even when I'm doing a quick job on limited time. It glides effortlessly over knees and really sticks to your body contours. It gives a nice close shave for silky smooth legs. The blades lasts for ages too!

Overall this is the razor ill continue to use for as long as they keep making it!
