 Without a doubt, Schick Titanium blades are the best I've ever used |

I don't have a heavy beard - it's about average. I can get away without shaving for three days and still have the "cool" scruffy look. On the fourth day, it becomes the "dirty" scruffy look, and so I shave.
Because I have sensitive skin, that's what I've been doing most of my life: shaving every third day, sometimes every fourth day. Anything less has always caused razor burn and bumps, regardless of the shaving cream or the razor. (I've been using Aveeno for Sensitive Skin for several years now - that switch was a definite plus. Anytime I use anything different, the shaving suffers.)
But with Schick's new Titanium razors, I can shave *every* day and not cause razor burn or bumps. When my parents see me clean shaven every time they visit me, or I visit them, they (especially my Mom) will be extremely happy. Never mind that I'm 40...you know how parents are.
One reviewer has said that the four blades cause more nicks. I haven't found that to be the case. I've yet to nick myself once, although having said that, I'll probably nick myself when I shave today. Knock on wood.
Finally, the blades last for a very long time; much longer than any blade I've ever used. Although they're very expensive now, I think they're well worth the extra expenditure. I can shave more often, and the blades last longer than the blades I used when I shaved every third day.
This is definitely a win-win.

Cost more per blade, less per shave

Face it, razor companies make their money when you buy new blades. There's more profit if they get dull sooner.
About 5 years ago, when the quattro first came out, I did an experiment. I had been a Gillette guy for years and was using a Mach3. I bought the Quattro and used them on alternate days. The Quattro lasted 40% longer.
In the review that I wrote here, I suggested that Schick should market a cheaper blade that's just as good as the Gillette blade, and then advertise the more expensive Quattro, priced comparably to the Mach3, as lasting 40% longer.
Well, they seem to have done something like that without any invidious comparisons. This Quattro Titanium lasts much longer than the regular Quattro. (I haven't done the Schick/Gillette test again, however, so I can't be sure they didn't take my advice.)
Maybe not as profitable, but if their aim is to gain market share, it worked for me. |
Beats Gillette Hands Down

Seduced by the hype that more blades must be better, I have used a Gillette Fusion Power for years. Then one day my second Gillette just suddenly quit on me. I reached for a Schick Quattro lying nearby and was surprised to find it gave me a better shave. Since then I changed to the Titanium version, and this razor now gives me the closest shaves I've ever experienced, with the least amount of effort.
Five blades are not better than four, because with five the blades must be spaced closer together, which makes the razor clog more easily. With the Gillette I needed to make more passes over rough spots, and the results were still not as close. The Schick catches hair that the Gillette usually misses. I also like that the Quattro Titanium and Quattro Titanium Power use the same blades unlike Gillette, who wants you to pay a premium for Power blades.
Conclusion: a closer shave that's easier to get. Now shaving is actually fun!
UPDATE: These blades don't quit. I've been using this blade for over a month now and I'm still on my first one. And it's still sharp enough to draw blood. I was lucky if I could get a Gillette blade to last two weeks. You will definitely save money on blades if you use titanium.

Better than Gillette Fusion and better price.

| These blades are fantastic. They have everything that Gillette Fusion has, but at a lower price. So far, my Schick Quattro Titanium blades are lasting nearly twice as long as my experience with the Gillette Fusion. They have a lubrication strip and grooming blade just like the Gillette Fusion. |
Excellent product.
