Having irritation problems with shaving daily is quite the norm for me, and it’s in no way an isolated issue with this razor. However, because the model is not waterproof and cannot easily be rinsed, the textured rubber is a magnet for hair and dust, making cleaning difficult. To provide adequate flexibility for almost any grooming operation, it has ten trimmer guards, a precision trimmer head, a double foil shaver, a normal trimmer head, and a broad trimmer head. We focus on each model's initial quality and durability for a handful of shaves throughout our testing period.

The broad, normal, precision, nose and ear, or foil shaver trimmer heads are simple to switch between and simply require light pressure to release and replace. Throughout the testing process, we even compared products directly against each other by shaving one-half of our faces with different products simultaneously. One of the only downsides of the Schick Quattro Titanium is that the closely spaced blades and the wireframe can catch and trap hairs and grime a little easier than 3-blade models or even 5-blade models with more generously spaced blades. The potential tradeoff with a close shave is that sharper blades with a more aggressive cut can lead to increased skin irritation, bumps, or ingrown hairs.It comes with five attachments and fourteen guards to enable full-body grooming and beard trimming in any desired length and style. The blade-end of the handle is embedded with a metal ball-bearing which adds extra weight to the razor and provides a unique finger rest during shaving.

Both have a very balanced, hefty feel, which conveys a sense of quality not found in disposable models. Additionally, this razor's head design prevents water from easily passing through the blades, making it harder to rinse clean.

Recognizing that shavers with different skin and hair types may have different shaving needs and priorities, he is armed with a meticulous awareness of how different tools and products have different capabilities and weaknesses and how they would impact the overall shaving experience.

Its most identifiable attribute is an extra wide ergonomic handle, which is surrounded by easy-to-grip rubber traction strips. Likewise, the Gillette Mach3 3D earned very high marks in this metric, and in terms of shave quality, we feel it is one of the best 3-blade models on the market. Pivot Head:The blade head on the Flex 5 pivots around 40 degrees which helps the blade adjust to the various contours of the face while shaving.

The Quattro has similar shave quality as its 5-blade competitors but slightly less irritation due to having one less blade. The blade’s upper section and lubrication strip leave a large gap between the blades and shaving under the nose area.
