I won my Schick Quattro Trimstyle Razor & Bikini Trimmer in a giveaway . I was very excited to try it. for myself and have been using it for about two weeks now. The trimmer worked very well though the comb was not helpful and was tossed on the shelf. The razor glided smoothly and did a decent job but not better than the discount brand I sometimes use ,so I was disappointed. Its a decent razor comfortable in the hand but too pricey for the results I got.
I saw this on a TV commercial and it sounded super cool -- especially the part about it being waterproof. I decided to pick it up and I was surprised at how cheap it was ($10USD) so I should've seen the next part coming. The trimmer is really handy. It works and it works well. My only complaint is that you have to constantly hold the button down, you can't just turn it on/off. The razor end was garbage. The razor didn't shave a thing. I prefer my BIC soleil disposables (LOVE those!). I feel like for the price and for the convenience, perhaps the trimmer side is nice, but the fact that the razor side is crud is a huge turnoff. I would've rather saved the money and invested in a quality trimmer and quality razor.
This razor may work for some people, but it definitely does not fit my favourite razor list. I purchased this product in hopes of using it as intended, a bikini trimmer and a skin razor, and was unsatisfied with both, and therefore I threw it out. I did not buy anymore razor heads for this, I only used it once and was super dissatisfied. I don't like Schick razors because they don't give a nice shave and they don't feel good to hold while shaving.
I've used the Schick Quattro since it first came on the market and from the first time I tried it, I never looked back. I thought: a bikini trimmer PLUS my favourite shaver?! sounds great! but no. it's not great. the thing I like best about the Schick Quattro was that it vibrates making shaving smoother and cut free. the trimstyle only vibrates on the bikini side, not the razor side so already the thing i liked most about the razor is gone. would be nice if both sides vibrate. at that rate, might as well just use the quattro razor and forget the bikini trimmer. now i have 2 razors cluttering my bathroom because i like the trimstyle for the bikini area and the quattro razor for the rest of me. all in all, why bother with the extra razor (the trumstyle) when one does it all?
