The Quattro is a piece of crap. I'd always used a Gilette shaver, and when the M3 came out I started using that. Recently I tried the Quattro and I found it to be very cheaply made. It's hard to explain, but it's much looser and flimsier than a Gilette shaver, and the four blades idea went too far, the shaver is too big and doesn't really work on the curved contours of your face as well. The blades also seem to be considerably duller.

Blade shavers in general really irritate my skin though, and now I have an electric shaver (Braun 8595 Activator), and I'm never going back. Blade shavers will usually give you a closer shave due to their nature, but if you have sensitive/soft skin they can really mess up your skin whenever you shave.

THe quatro sucks. I tend to shave once every 3-4 days. The women like the 'scraggly' look on me. Anyways, the quatro has those wires that go vertically, and hair gets clogged in there and is impossible to remove. So after the first use, it's crap. Mach 3 always cleans easy.
