This was the worst razor!!
Schick Intuition

Shcick Quattro was ok, but the blade kept coming off and I'd cut myself. I thought it was a defect with my 1st one, then it did it with the 2nd one too.

I have this one now, but I swear it doesn't shave that well.

I have the intuition. It works fine with a new blade but after a few uses... it sucks. So, when I need a good shave steal Andrews extra razor :p sshhh... Its orange and blue with quite a few blades sorry I dont remember the name. Sounds dumb I know but guys razors are 100x better and stay sharper longer, I love it

I have the same issue

The best one so far is the Bic Soleil. I use the disposible, but i guess they now have a "non-disposible" and it's even sparkly!!! I will have to invest as i love sparkly stuff (i'm such a girl)

I use the Venus rasor. The blades get dull fast, but I keep replacing them.

I absolutely love the Venus Vibrance! It shaves soo smooth! The blades also last quite some time. I recently tried the Venus Embrace but the razor part is too big and can be a pain when you are trying to get the curve of your armpit. I highly recommend the Venus Vibrance instead.

My worst razor would have to be any generic disposible razors. I don't know why but they all leave me with razor burn and nicks on my legs.

Yeah that seems to be the problem.

I like the Intuition, but it does get dull quickly and the blades are expensive!! I moved on to the Bic Soleil and it works great. I accidentally bought the wrong one (it looked like it but was not it) last time and it sucked!

I use a men's razor, and replace the blades - but can't remember which one....I will post it later:)
YAY! I'm not the only one!
They seem to shave so much better.

I use a store brand (generic brand) of the Venus and it works really well.

I use an electric shaver. I don't get cut etc.

Oh and don't buy the womens electric, get the guys electric. They are easier and better on the legs, etc.

Yup! I had to stop using the Quattro. I don't get why they fall off. It shaved well, until the blade wasn't there. LOL And I cut myself too many time b/c of the blade falling off. :eek:

I had that same problem. I haven't found a good razor yet either...& how ridicilous are the prices on the refill blades??? LIke $25! You might as well buy 3 or 4 new razors for that!!

Replacement blades seriously are overpriced and they don't last long either. It's like they get dull really quickly! Another money making scheme by the company.

That's why I am considering switching to guy's blades - they last longer.

I agree & I feel that they give a closer shave as well.

I love my quattro...have yet had the razor fall off.

I used to use guys razors so that might be a good option.

As a general rule, guys have coarser hair on their face than women do on their legs, so their razors thend to be more durable.

This is also the razor I use and I love it!!!! I've been using it since it came out and that was a year or 2 ago. Before that the regular razor and I liked it too.

Here is the one I use, the Gillette. It has a button that you press for a vibration, but I dont use it.

My hubby has this one and likes it ok...he hates to shave because he breaks out, even with sensitive shaving cream.

I use this and I LOVE it! Hubby has the Fusion and would rather shave with a dull blade off that instead of go to a new type of blade (he used to rotate depending on what was on sale).
