the quattro has like no barrier between the blades and your face so it's very uncomfortable, especially if you have a lot of facial hair. The blades catch on the hair and tear/ rip your face. Uhh...those cheap bic razors are more comfortable than the quattro.

The mach 3 is MUCH better...I'd like to have one but the blades are jsut too damn expensive...

x2 to everything Reck45 has said. I shave like once a week (I love having a faint beardie), and while the Mach-3 Turbo glides along the face, the Quattro just pulled at the hairs and it was SO FRICKING irritating that I swore not to use the Quattro ever again. It is similar to a shave with a disposable Gillette twin blade razor. Expensive.

LOL, no wonder why they are giving 150,000 away

I will test mine (whenever they come), and report back

Same here, if it stinks, well at least it was worth every penny

If it works great, then

Exactly

A friend told me that the secret to long blade life is to never use foam/soap/gel when you shave. He says he uses a cheap disposable and gets 100+ shaves from each one.

I'm trying this out now with my Mach 3. So far I've gone like 15 shaves with one, no noticeable deterioration in the blade sharpness. Also the little blue strip at the top, which usually bleaches/fades out progressively as you shave, has pretty much kept its colour.

That can get rather uncomfortable, though... I'd prefer to pay the money and not rip half my face off.

I got a free Quatro razor in the mail for no apparent reason, just showed up one day. Well I must have pissed somebody off at some point, cause that thing was like shaving with a rake! That fourth blade is for a close shave, like down to your skull. I'll stick with me Mach III.

I'll vouch for that. I haven't used foam/soap/gel for 20 years. Granted, I usually have some form of beard so mostly I'm just shaving my neck and the edges of my cheeks, (face cheeks that is) but straight after a shower or better still, a sauna, twin blade gillettes do a good job, don't irritate my skin, and last a long time. Heat and moisture are an excellent substitute for foam/soap/gel.

On the other hand, I've tried several different electric razors and they chew my face to pieces.

Yes you are and that is also very dangerous. You see your razor has dead skin on it, which is festering with germs, so if you ever get cut with that old razor, you can get extremely nasty infection as a result.

Hahaha...

That was a funny post.. (actually, not !)

Very close to my thoughts after the first shave..

Long live Mach-3 !!

Um, I wash it afterward. It's as clean as when I bought it.

With ONE BLADE?

I assume you keep it in a pyramid.

No, three, LOL

I tell you, those Mach3 blades last forever; it's the lube strip and the blue rubber squeegie things that wear out. The blades still works as well as it was new.
