they all come with 4 blades, that's why it's called a quattro.

How about we just call them cartridges and be done with it?

Edit: man I can't spell today.
 
Used it yesterday, it was okay I guess.



Of course, I usually use Bic single blade disposable's. The yellow ones.
 
Got mine last week. Had a heavy sturdy feel to it quite impressive actually.

Well I finally got around to shaving last night ready to try it out. What a big let down. This is almost as bad as the cartrages shick sold back in the '80s that would fit on gillette's atra and had the push button cleaning between the blades.

Everyone has different preferences and opinions this is just mine. Although I am glad they sent me this for free. I would be really mad if I actually bought this and found out I didn't like it. What are they charging for it $25.

Thanks for the deal OP
 
Man, the handling on this sucks.

I did a comparison yesterday. I haven't shaved since last Thursday. I shaved one side of my face with the Quatro and the other side with a Gillete disposable with aloe strip. Both had the same post-shave feel. The Quatro had trouble under my nose, couldn't get all the moustache hair. Chin was very smooth and not as much back and forth swipes under the chin as the disposable.

This morning I compared the sides. The quatro side seemed to have a darker shadow than the other. However with overhead tube lighting this was a subjective test.

Thanks for the freebie, but it won't have me spending for the blades.

I tried it out over the weekend. Got halfway through shaving and went back to my Mach 3 turbo. I thought I would like the weight and feel, but I don't. Much harder to handle at different angles.

It'll make a back up razor in a pinch, in case I forget to buy extra mach 3 cartridges.
 
I had 4 of them arrive at my house over the weekend. I tried it out this morning and it was alright but I won't buy extra blades after these wear out. The head was a bit big and was difficult to get small areas like under my nose.

I have been thinking of trying out a straight razor instead of buying replacement blades for my mach 3....even the cheapest prices on the net are still nuts.....THEY ARE RAZORS!! A straight razor might be more expensive initally and need some maintainence from time to time but it might be worth it to get a close shave without paying such jacked up prices.

Got mine over the weekend and didn't like the size of the Quatro. I also preferred my Mach3 as well. The Quatro was just too big to manuever around tight spaces.
