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.

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.
As for the blade clogging, the answer is to...Read more
