CheapShopper – Well I requested for a free woman’s Schick Quattro, so we will see if my legs and underarms like it.

Robert – Unfortunately, I don’t have a Target here in this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I’ve been praying to the Shopping Gods for one, but this state has yet to receive one.

Amy in GA – If you don’t like electrolosis, you can go the laser removal route, because lasers are cool.

does target make them for women too? personally, I have yet to find a razor that does what i want it to do. Stop the hair from growing back. If they create that razor, despite the price, I will buy it. I know they have that whole electroshock therapy for your hair folicals that will prevent hair growth, but that just seems a little too kinky for me. What happens if you get lost in the alaskan wilderness and need the hair for warmth? maybe the perfect razor won’t stop hair from growing back forever, just a month or so. Also, anyone know a good elec razor for women?

Target has their own brand of razor cartridges which are compatible with the Gillette Mach3 razor. They cost less than half the price as Gillette’s own replacement cartridges.

I personally use the Gillette Sensor Excel (2 blades). The Gillette brand package of 10 replacement cartridges costs about $12 at Target. The Target brand package of 10 replacement cartridges costs about $4. Even better, I personally like the feel and performance of the Target brand better than the original Gillette cartridges.

I got a free Schick Quatro in the mail and I thought it was the coolest thing and being even more cheap than you when it comes to beauty supplies, I was really excited to get it. Unfortunately, I would give it a rating of 1 for the following reasons:

1) when you drop it (as I do a lot in the shower) the head breaks off and it’s really hard to get back on without shredding your fingers when your hands are soapy in the shower

2) you have to hold it a just the right angle to make contact with the skin. Otherwise, it feels like it’s just shaving off the top layer of skin

3) i swear that the stubble grows back twice as fast as a gillette 2 blade with moisurizing pad

Just my 2 cents!!

PS – being female, I use it on my legs and underarms….:-)

Travis – Dry shaving? Shudder.

Bob – Or you could grow a beard and save even more money.

Toni – Was your first time shaving a recent occurrence? Only kidding? :-)

Hey Marvo, your review inspired me to write about my first time shaving my legs. Here’s the link! I suppose I should trackback to this particular article so I’ll do that as soon as I can :)

If you listen to the commercials for these razors they tell the whole story.Each blade does a specific thing.Only one blade makes the cut at the skin.Do we need to have hairs charged,pulled trimed?Give me a rasor with just the one blade that does the cutting,and I will vacation with the money I save.

Have tried the quatro, and the M3 Power (M3 power turbo i think) my face is a 3 blade face. The extra blade on the quatro just cuts me. I think the reason is the fact i shave without looking most of the time, and also dry shave allot. The M3 has the ablity to do what i need.. and i dont ever worry about cutting my self when i am shaving the most sensitive parts.

I use the Mach3 Turbo and buy my blades in quantity off eBay. Some patience and persistence, and you can get them about a dollar each. Far better than those two bladed razors of the ancients (then again I tended to buy whatever was cheap.) Plus if you apply too much pressure and cut yourself, you get three parallel cuts and you can tell everyone you got clawed wrestling a jungle cat.

Regarding foamyhead, that’s Rob Cockerham:

I have sensitive skin and a single blade feels like I’m ripping the hairs out two blades don’t last so long I love the power M3 and will no longer use anything else

Megan – When you get back to the States, you can pick up the women’s version of this razor. It’s PINK! It’s SOOOO CUTE!

kaos – Vibrating blades near my balls must blow badly.

Fred – I think skin type is the reason why people have different feelings about the M3 Power. I might try it, but I just got this razor and I like to run things into the ground, so I think I’ll stick with it for a while. Until they create Nair for Men that specifically deal with facial hair.

Visitor – Well when I get my free sample, my hairy legs will definitely clog up the blades.

greg – I was reading somewhere that your face will take about 30 days to get used to an electric razor, but I could be wrong about that.

I love the electric I got for x-mas. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular blades. But they do need some getting used to. I got kinda chaffed for the first week, but after actually reading the instructions, (I know, it goes against all things manly) it actually said that it will take some getting used to. Now I love it.
It’s a Norelco and cost my wife about 250 bucks. Good thing I didn’t have to pay for it.

For what it’s worth, the woman’s version of this product (dark pink instead of black!) is not really very good, so it’s not a surprise that they’re giving it away for free. It would probably work well on a man’s face, but not on a woman’s legs. It just gets clogged up with hair and doesn’t cut very well.
