Schick Intuition Razor Versus Schick Quattro for Women Razor

When I was a young teenager, I couldn't wait until my Mom would let me start shaving my legs--it seemed like such a grown-up thing to do, so exciting! Now, many years later, the excitement is gone and the drudgery has set in. I no longer look forward to this task--I mostly put it off as long as possible (and sometimes skip it entirely in the winter months...shhhh).

These last few years it seems as if there has been an explosion in the shaving industry--every few months or so another razor is introduced to the market. First there were the double-bladed razors--those were so ingenious! Not too long after everyone got used to those, though, along came the triple-bladed shavers. Three blades? Surely we would badly nick up our legs if we used those! But, no, they worked rather well.

Soon after came a really avant-garde shaving device--the Schick Intuition Razor. How was this razor so original? Well, with this razor, it wasn't necessary to use any kind of lubricant--no shave gel, no shaving cream, nothing--because the razor itself had a moisturizing block surrounding its three blades. All you had to do was wet the razor and glide it across your legs, and the "skin conditioning solid" (as they call it) adds enough lubricant to safely, quickly, and easily shave your legs. It sounded too good to be true--until I tried it, that is. Once I tried it, I knew this was the razor for me. It enabled me to shave my legs in half the time that I had before, and it was (almost) fun!

So, I had been using the Schick Intuition razor for quite some time--and then along came another advancement in the shaving field. This time, razors with four blades were being marketed as the newest, best thing! If three blades worked well, four blades must work even better--I suppose that was the reasoning. I wasn't convinced, but since one of these razors was from my trusted brand--Schick--I figured I should give it a try. Maybe, I figured, using the four-blade razor would shave more closely, enabling me to shave less often. So, I bought the Schick Quattro for Women razor and tried it out.
