 Without a doubt, Schick Titanium blades are the best I've ever used |

I don't have a heavy beard - it's about average. I can get away without shaving for three days and still have the "cool" scruffy look. On the fourth day, it becomes the "dirty" scruffy look, and so I shave.
Because I have sensitive skin, that's what I've been doing most of my life: shaving every third day, sometimes every fourth day. Anything less has always caused razor burn and bumps, regardless of the shaving cream or the razor. (I've been using Aveeno for Sensitive Skin for several years now - that switch was a definite plus. Anytime I use anything different, the shaving suffers.)
But with Schick's new Titanium razors, I can shave *every* day and not cause razor burn or bumps. When my parents see me clean shaven every time they visit me, or I visit them, they (especially my Mom) will be extremely happy. Never mind that I'm 40...you know how parents are.
One reviewer has said that the four blades cause more nicks. I haven't found that to be the case. I've yet to nick myself once, although having said that, I'll probably nick myself when I shave today. Knock on wood.
Finally, the blades last for a very long time; much longer than any blade I've ever used. Although they're very expensive now, I think they're well worth the extra expenditure. I can shave more often, and the blades last longer than the blades I used when I shaved every third day.
This is definitely a win-win.

Best Disposable Razors Ever

| When it comes to razors I've tried them all, as most guys have and I definitely know these are the best. The titanium blades last the longest and give the best shave without nicks, razor bumps etc. I'm Italian and I have some thick facial hair, I used to go through a razor every 2-3 days. These titanium blades shave me well for up to 2 weeks! You still need to get a good shaving cream and let it set on your face for a minute or two, don't go with those nasty grocery store gels. The L'Occitane shaving cream is pretty awesome so give that a try. I even prefer these to a safety razor, go ahead and buy them from Amazon, great price, I'm sure you'll be pleased. |

| These blades are of the highest quality. I switched to Schick after some bad experience with similar cartridges from another company. I suspect they were using bad steel. I was reluctant to go back to the safety razor after all these years with a cartridge system. So I tried these. They are fine. They stay sharp for many shaves and do a fast good job. |
Cost more per blade, less per shave

Face it, razor companies make their money when you buy new blades. There's more profit if they get dull sooner.
About 5 years ago, when the quattro first came out, I did an experiment. I had been a Gillette guy for years and was using a Mach3. I bought the Quattro and used them on alternate days. The Quattro lasted 40% longer.
In the review that I wrote here, I suggested that Schick should market a cheaper blade that's just as good as the Gillette blade, and then advertise the more expensive Quattro, priced comparably to the Mach3, as lasting 40% longer.
Well, they seem to have done something like that without any invidious comparisons. This Quattro Titanium lasts much longer than the regular Quattro. (I haven't done the Schick/Gillette test again, however, so I can't be sure they didn't take my advice.)
Maybe not as profitable, but if their aim is to gain market share, it worked for me. |
The greatest reason to stop using Gillette Fusion

| These blades are fantastic. They have everything that Gillette Fusion has, but at a lower price. So far, my Schick Quattro Titanium blades are lasting nearly twice as long as my experience with the Gillette Fusion. |
