Wilkinson Sword Quattro

Thought I'd buy the Quattro- that was a mistake! The blades are sub-divided into 8 sections and are wafer thin. In addition there is no adequate venting on the back of the blade to enable washing out bristles, and the blade becomes clogged and ineffective in a few strokes and they blunt quickly. So...if you don't mind getting through 3 blades for 1 halfway decent shave, go ahead and buy this. It's what's called in-built obsolescence, ie the need to buy ever more costly useless blades. Avoid this product guys, it's rubbish!

My thanks for the very prompt manner in which you actioned my recent order for the Quattro Titanium razor.

This is my third such order and whilst I have no connection to Wilkinson Sword I am of the view that this is the finest razor on the market today. It gives me a close and comfortable shave and I write with some sixty years experience of razors to date.

One area of concern is that my local supermarket...Asda Canterbury Kent...no longer appears to stock this particular razor, they do however stock a wide range of other Wilkinson product

Could they be persuaded to restock this item?

Once again my thanks

Regards

Never done a review in my life this product is worst shave ever

Baffled by some of the other comments. I have been using this brand for many years and have never any problems.

I don't normally use wilkinson shavers but as they make a good convincing advert that they are a smooth shave and are cheaper than others I thought I would give them a try. What a mistake that was, not only was it ruff and pulling my hair out it has cut me all over my face. I WOULD NOT recommend this product to any of my friends or family and I won't be spending any more of my money on them as that are rubbish, I would rather use a 10 year old used bic than use this again!!!.

Hi , i recently bought the Wilkinson Sword Quattro 4 blade razor.

Having run out of blades for my old razor and it looking a bit worn , i thought it was time for a change.

£6.00 for a razor didnt seem to steep compared to some so i went for it and it is easily the worst razor i have ever used and would never reccomend it to anyone.

Im not someone who likes shaving so tend to do it every few days and normally dont have a problem , but to be honest this razor seems to highlight the general problem with razors these days.

1 : to many blades.

The razor has 4 blades set very close together , so close in fact that after a very short stroke over the beard the blades became clogged with hair , and due to the blades being so close together the hair would not come out even under fast running hot water. Also it caused the blades to keep missing areas of hair meaning i had to go over sections of my face several times to get a decent shave , in the end it caused iritation to my skin. In the end i got round it by opening a new toothbrush and cleaning the blades out after every stroke.

I think it took me 45 minutes to shave , normally it takes 10 minutes.

The shave i got in the end was poor and i will be getting rid of this as soon as i go shopping.

Hi there guys. I am from czech republic and today i got such anger that I just have to post it, tell it to the world, this attitude is pissing me off so much. I have Wilkinson Sword Quattro, well, I had. After just one second this razor is full of hair (dirt, pieces of them) so its just absolutely not possible to continue shaving properly, and, it is also not possible to clean it by watter, fingers or different kind of brush. Why, srsly, why they even produce this ? I destroyed that thing in such anger.

The quattro i found not so good for my skin, brought me up in a rash but i tried the wilkinson sword hydro 3 razor the other day and actually found it pretty decent. If your not a fan of this razor give the hydro 3 a try its pretty mint.

I have not purchased a Wilkinson's Sword product for a long while due to the fact that the blades cut my face to shreds. I used to think it was my own foolhardiness but I have since shaved with other much cheaper razors and had no such problems. I inadvertantly bought a pack today (I forgot momentarily) and my face promptly started bleeding in seven different places. The worst thing is that there are still nine blades left in the pack. I would write to them and complain but the last thing I want is a free sample! MY RATING IS ZERO STARS BUT THEY WOULD NOT LET ME DO IT. I FEEL EVEN WORSE NOW.

As a shaver who mainly uses a straight razor or an old fashioned Double Edged Safety Razor, I received a Wilkinson Sword Quattro on a freebie and thought I'd give it a whirl for novelty purposes.

I was actually surprised to find it gave a close comfortable shave. Not as close as a straight shave, but as good as I'd expect from a cartridge based system.

Its an added tool in my arsenal now for when I want a shave in a hurry.

To all those saying their blades get clogged, please stop using the canned gunk and the thick gels in tubes... invest in a shaving brush and some soap or cream (Palmolive at 49p is incredible value!) and prepare your skin for the act of dragging cold steel across it multiple times properly.
