I've been using a Mach 3 for a little over a year now and it is a great razor. About a week ago I was at the store and noticed the Quattro 4 on sell with a package of 4 refill blades for $12.99. Not a bad price so I bought it. I've been using the 4 since last Friday and I must say I am impressed. Best damn shave I've had in my life. Ok, strike that....the best shave was from this old barber locally that still used a straight blade but he finally died a couple of years back. Anyway....the 4 is smooth as hell to shave with and does an excellent job on my beard....as I sit here at just after 4pm and having shaved at approx 7am I still don't feel any stubble or see my usual 5pm shadow. For a couple of days I really razor geeked out and shaved the left side of my face with the Mach 3 and the right side with the Quattro 4. I could tell a difference and my wife being the ultimate judge could as well. Both do a good job, but the 4 really cuts things close and the shave seems to last longer(if that makes any sense). I've also noticed that I don't nick myself nearly as often as I did with the Mach3. So...I am here to officially proclaim that I'm switching to the Quattro 4 full time as soon as my last two blades for my Mach 3 are used. Mach 3 you served me well....but there is a new sheriff in town.

that's interesting because gillette spent gazillions on the mach 3's technology..

To me.. quattro 4 sounds too much like a bloody Audi !

When you can shave your entire face in one stroke.

How hard could it be to stick three razor blades on the head instead of one? Throw a little hinge deal in there and you have yourself a mach 3.

not only that but you can take off the first two layers of your skin. It'll be the closest shave ever.

Lol, when I first saw the commercial for the Quattro 4, it reminded me of the hitch-hiker "There's Something About Marry" and his 7-minute abs :D

I have been using the quattro 4 for about a month now, and it definately is a better razor than the Mach 3 Turbo. Has a good feel to the handle as well, a little more bulky than the Mach 3, but because of my injuries to my hands, I feel like I can control it better. Fewer nicks and cuts, plus, when I go a few days with out shaving, I don't feel like I am ripping the hair out, i is nice and smooth.

Supposedly they studied the actual angle the blades touch the skin at, the and blades also have special edges, which give you a closer shave, etc. etc, etc.

my shaver of choice has 28 blades - i win, end of thread. of course though, it's electric :p just getting used to it though. second day only, and my face hurts like a mofo when i'm done. odd though, because although my face feels irritated, there isn't any visible signs of irritation such as after a harsh shave w/ a blade.

You guys with this razor must have upper lips about 6 inches high. I can't even use a Mach 3 on my upper lip because it's too frickin big.

Its why Gillette had their "monopoly" on the 3-blade razor for such a long time - its quite hard to refine the blade such that all of them are aligned as to allow for all three edges to cut, and to not cut you up.
