The wires are so small, we’d consider them about the width of a hair. Covering the blades are seven tiny wires, spaced out evenly across the razor. To us, however, the biggest feature on the cartridge is one that we haven’t seen mentioned anywhere on the Schick website or on the package. We’d estimate the razor pivots back about 45 degrees from its resting position. This is a much better way to pivot than those that simply bend at the base of the razor. That means even when the head is pivoted all the way back, the pressure from the handle is still positioned in the center of the blades so that they all offer consistent pressure applied. This way, the pivoting wraps around a center point. What about pivoting? The razor pivots nicely, with a motion that goes both back and then slightly down. This allows you to get close in without the razor head getting in the way. On the backside of the Quattro Titanium is a single precision blade. After the blades is a lubrication strip, which contains aloe, Vitamin E, and B-5, according to the Amazon listing.

According to Schick, these blades are coated in titanium and diamonds for a better shave.īelow the four blades are a number of angled rubber fins designed to help pull the skin tight before the four blades make a pass. Without a bulb or bend at the end like you find with most handles, there is nothing there to catch on your hand, making the it feel less secure to us.Īccording to the packaging, the Schick Quattro is made in Germany.Īs we mentioned (and you could guess by the “Quattro” name), the razor features four blades. As well, apart from the bend at the neck, the handle is straight and tapers toward the end. While there is a lot of rubber tread, the handle still felt a bit slick in our hand while wet. Overall, however, the grip of the handle is just ok. Because of the cutout and bend, we had a great place to grip the razor. We actually like to shave with our thumb on the underside of the head and index finger on the top (essentially “pinching” the neck). Near the head of the razor there is a bent neck and a large cutout. The underside features the same rubber grip, running the length of the handle. Along the top of the handle you have a white rubber grip with a number of raised ridges.

Instead of lots of complicated grips and shapes, it’s a straightforward design.įirst, the handle profile is circular (meaning it’s round, like a pen or pencil). In many ways, it’s almost a throwback when it comes to style. The Quattro handle design is simple and masculine. But there are some special features when you start to look closely. On the surface that Quattro Titanium looks fairly basic and comparable to other refillable razors. If you are looking for decent packaging to give the razor as a gift, this would fit the bill versus some of the blank cardboard boxes we’ve seen from other razors come in. The packaging is much nicer than other razors we’ve received and is the same as what we’ve seen in stores. While these sorts of packages are notoriously hard to open, there is a panel on the backside that can be easily torn open to get your new razor. The razor came with a handle and three cartridges (along with a plastic blade cover), all encased in a plastic bubble packaging. We bought our test razor from Schick, via Amazon. To us, this literally small innovation created an extremely comfortable shave that let the razor glide over our face, without sacrificing closeness. The Schick Quattro Titanium features tiny “micro” wires that span the cutting edge of the blades. Surprisingly, we didn’t see the feature mentioned on Schick’s website or the Amazon listing for the razor. The razor features four blades with titanium-coated edges, along with a number of features you’d expect from any quality razor - lubrication strip, rubber fins before the blades, and a head that easily pivots back to shave around the face.īut it was another feature that we have never seen on any razor that we’ve tested before that caught our attention… and what we think created a shave that was among the most comfortable we’ve had.

The Quattro Titanium isn’t quite as fancy as Schick’s top-of-the-line razors, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
