Schick Quattro Women's Review

The Bottom Line

Schick Quattro for Women, the only razor a girl needs to have in my book. The four blades give a super close shave without nicking, and the conditioning strips leave skin soft.

Pros

  • Four blades
  • Aloe and vitamin E conditioning strips on either side of blade
  • Pivoting head

Cons

  • One of the pricier drugstore razors

Description

  • Manufacturer- Schick Wilkinson-Sword, an Energizer Company
  • Usage- Women's razor
  • Options - A disposable kind is available, but this review is on the regular version
  • Average Initial Cost - $9.00 (handle, 2 blades and shower hanger)
  • Average Refill Cost - $18.00 (8 blade refills)

Guide Review - Schick Quattro For Women

I've tried many razors throughout my life, because shaving is quick and easy. I haven't (so far) found a better razor than Schick Quattro for Women. This razor gives me a close, nick-free shave while moisturizing my skin.

At first I thought it was the four blades that made the world of difference in my close shave, so I tried another company's brand with multiple blades, but there was no comparison. Schick Quattro for Women gave me a much closer shave. I'm sure it will come to no big surprise that Schick Quattro for Women's razor itself is made in China, but interesting to note the blade cartridge is made in Germany. While I'm not quite sure where all other razor manufacturer's get their blades, this German-made blade may be the huge difference in quality.

The conditioning strips are another big plus. Even if you don't have time to apply lotion after shaving, the hydration power is just enough to moisturize skin without making it feel greasy.

Way to go Schick, I think you may just have the perfect woman's razor.

Schick Hydro Silk Razor

schick hydro silk, schick razors, women's razors

Schick Hydro 3 has been my go-to razor even though they're marketed to men because I like them and picked up a couple packs when they were on sale and had some coupons. But of course I had to get the Hydro Silk Razor for women, new from Schick with five blades and built-in serum and skin guards, made to moisturize and prevent razor burn.

I let my daughter try it before myself. And she was really excited to give her opinion. Let me first say that because I write about hair removal, she is used to very good shaving products and didn't have to go through the route of learning to shave with cheap disposables, and the oh-so-fun razor burn, nicks and cuts.

She said, "It wasn't the closest shave in the world, but my skin felt really soft."

I put on a fresh blade and gave it a whirl myself. With the first swipe, I also thought it didn't give a very close shave, but it took a couple to get it smooth. I don't have dry skin and always use good shaving cream or gel, so the built-in serum didn't make a difference for me. However, Jen Adkins, our Skincare Guide really loves the Schick Hydro Silk Razor and uses it without shaving cream (read her post).

They are pricey, a four-pack blade refill costs about $16 (compare prices). I personally like Schick Quattro better, and they're less expensive at about $12 for four refills (compare prices).

New from Schick: Hydro Silk Razor

When I was in high school, I didn't want to spend any of my own money on something as silly as a razor, so I used my dad's single blade cheapies.? They were horrible and gave me such razor burn.? I remember talking to my friend about razor burn and she told me she was using a triple blade razor. I was so impressed! I laugh at that memory now. If you're using cheapies, it's time to see what's out there.

I've been using Schick's Hydro Silk razor for a couple of weeks and I love it so much I wanted to share it with you. (Five blades, baby!) It has a row of little dots of moisturizing serum on the top and the bottom of the blades.? The serum reacts with the water which helps the blade glide over your skin.? I haven't even needed to use shaving cream at all.? We recommend making sure your razor is stored out of the water otherwise the little dots of serum will wash away.

Schick says the razor will leave your skin moisturized for two full hours after shaving, and that may be, but we still recommend putting on a body lotion or oil after shaving.? Visit Schick's website for more info.
