i had received a quattro in the mail for free, and received the most brutal shave from it. i can't imagine a vibrating quattro..
When I saw the press release for the M3P a while back, I was kinda optimistic and thought it was an 'interesting' at best and I gave it a go when it came out...Mixed results - Works great with the modern brushless gels, but with traditional creams and soaps it can get irritating...
This one just looks dangerous
Find a company listed on wall st. that sells styptic pens or alum bloc and BET the house!!

When I saw that big headline "Schick Announces", I thought that just maybe they were going to announce something worthwhile, like the revival of the single blade injector razor. (That shows how out of touch with "normal" thinking I can become.)
But when I saw your post, I remembered that I had just seen the "me-too, I'm a Mach 4 Power" Quattro vibrator, and there was no surprise at all.
But now that they have 4 vibrating blades, the only encore they can do, I think, is a reduction in the multi-blade arms race, eventually bringing us back to the single blade. The alternatives are:
1) The razor world equivalent of total nuclear annihilation - 1a) all men join ZZ Top or become orthdox Muslims or Hasidim. (The cleanshaven guy in ZZ Top stops shaving, too.)
1b) electrolysis.
2) Lasers or some other high-tech overkill depilation method.
3) Electric shavers. Norelco goes to 4 heads, Remington counters with 5, etc.
4) We all start getting shaved at the barbershop again. This would also require solving the recent bloodborne disease problem (hepatitis, AIDS, etc.).
I vote for joing up with Frank, Billy and Dusty...ZZ TOP!!! The original Texas Boogie Band! BTW, Frank, the clean shaven one, is actually Frank BEARD! The man with the name doesn't wear one...but he does know how to beat those skins! How ironic!

Thats great. Now you can use a crappy gimmick driven overpriced razor and pay for batteries.
Hey, nice turn of phrase! I may co-opt this the next time someone asks about traveling with DE razor blades in their carryon luggage...
Anyway, while it's nice to know that Schick is Out Of Ideas Too, I can't say I'm surprised that they, too, went with a Stahly Live-Blade approach -- er, I mean, Gillette M3/Fusion Power approach! -- 8(?) years after it was introduced.
They really do give a poor shave.
Or you can join Fr. Ben Groeschel's Franciscan Capuchin Friars of the Renewal (CFR), the grey friars who do not shave. Quite possibly the coolest friars on God's Green Earth.
Hahahaha that's exactly what I thought
Thank the maker! I thought I was the only person in the world that came to the realization that this thing has more than one application!!!!
Sharks. With lasers.
Gentlemen I believe the shave apocalypse has descended upon us. Everyone remain calm and immediately go to your shave dens / fallout shelter. Hopefully you have stocked enough blades to last the impending 1000 years of darkness.

Bob I still want that handle.

Those things provide absolute facial carnage.
Are they ill-tempered?
