Wikinson Sword Quatro

eirebhoy

Just got one today for €9.99 and its great. Very quick shave and I am on of the lucky ones who doesn't get sore after shaving so I can have a dry shave. Just wondering if anyone else has got it and what do you think? Also, where the hell does all the hair go, it just seems to vanish?

I use a Mach 3. Big difference between them and the 2-blade jobbies. Does the 4th blade make that much of a difference ? There seems to be an extra blade added every bloody year now. Yill probly be able to play mp3's on the things in a couple of years !

how does it compare to the mach3??

if its better i would defo get one. i hate the way gillette just keep pushing the price of the blades up. and how rediculous is it to release the exact same shaver with a slightly different colour scheme, a new price (higher btw), and an altered name. its the same bloody thing. 'call it something else and we can push up the price' - di*ks

scam artists... :mad:

how is this any differant to any other razor? it doesnt matter if a razor has 1 blade, 4 blades or 15 blades, it will still do the same job.

u can imagine the razor ads in 2010. its the 17th blade that makes the differance

I used to use the gillette sensor excel 2 blade yoke and I changed to the Mach 3 a while back. I can definitely feel the difference. Its way smoother and closer a shave than even the 2 blader.

I had a Mach 3 but found that while it does give a quicker shave with less strokes, if I've got a few days worth of stubble it's very harsh. I've gone back to my trusty Sensor XL which is far more versatile.

I think the Quatro is merely Wilkinson Sword blocking Gillette from going with 4 blades. Of course, Gillette will come back with 5, WS will raise it to 7 and before long we'll be shaving with cutlasses and shouting ARRRRRR THERE BE TREASURE!!

The mach 3 is the business, but I will give the WS a try, just to see if there is a difference.

Has anyone tried those BIC ones ? you know the cheap plastic ones, jeez, they are like scraping your face with a rusty hacksaw blade.......

woosaysdan

yeah the mach 3 are great the blades are too dear though

Now this I could see somehow. You'd look fetching in your striped shirt and pantaloons. But we'll stay away from references to shivering me timbers :P

AdMMM

The ad for the Quatro is the worst ever.

The guy who gets rejected has no stubble at all, while the fella who the sexy stewardess go's to, either has a crator face or stubble!

I'll give it a go though! Been using disposable razors up until a few weeks ago. Was getting tired of having to shave the same spot 4 maybe 5 times for it to remove some hair!

I'd never use those disposable Bic things. Ye might aswell be slapping yerself in the face with a spatula for all their effectiveness.

Well, when I heard that it has 4 blades I thought it was going to be huge but the blades are small so its probably about the same size as the Mach 3. The main difference I notice is that I used to find the razor most comfortable after 3 or 4 shaves but the WS is so comfortable from the first shave (its like I'm bloody advertising here :rolleyes: ). Also, since I don't use any shaving gell I notice that the lubrication on Mach 3 goes all over you but it doesn't with the WS. I was using some Gillette razor before this and the hair kept getting caught between the blades and I had to throw the blades out way to soon but as I said above I haven't a clue were the hair goes when I use the Quatro.

All in all, I find it better than the Mach 3 so far but I only got it yesterday.

How long do the Mach 3 & WS blades last?

Isn't amazing how 2 companies dominate the market.

What happened to Lynx?

I hate to say it but the mach 3 is the best shave I've ever had; I got a quatro last week and I'm not best pleased. Hair clogs the thing after almost every stroke and cleaning the blades is almost impossible short of using a powerhose.
It' back to the mach 3 for me.
Now if only mach 3 blades didn't cost the same as a small family car...

But when you think of it - the life time of a blade is so short. From an environmental view point - razor blades should last away longer.

I shaved 2 nite using a disposable - well - It was like I had just gone thru the wars - I was surprised as the razor was made by a leading company.
