I’ve long wondered how well the Fusion would work for me, but am stuck in a shaver-rut, since my son (and mom) thought I should use a Braun shaver and not razor.

In time, I am sure, I’ll simply have to own up that I don’t prefer using a shaver (for touch-ups, sure, but not daily), but until then I’ll have to bide my time.

@Chris: Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the comment. My experience with the Quattro has been good so far. I can tell that the blades hold their edge longer than the fusion which is always a good thing.
@Phil: Very good points! I never thought about disposables being more flexible. I can see where that would cause less irritation. Glad you stopped by and I appreciate your insight.

I have got to say that as a man who shaves his head along with his face, your two choices are not that great. Because I shave my head I have to have a blade that will flex. I have used both of the razors your tested, and both have ripped the crap out of my cranium. Neither are worth the money in my opinion.

The one I use is the Schick Xtreme disposables. Why disposables? Because I go through one razor a week. It is more economical for me to use the disposables as opposed to buying the blades. Disposables are cheaper, by only a few cents mind you, than blades.

namaste.

I have to say that I like the Quattro. I received a couple for free over the past year through free sample sites nd have to say that they cut smooth and don’t give me as much problems as other razors. I can’t say that I have tried the fusion, but I would put a kudo toward the Quattro from my experience.
