First off let me say that the other reviewer who didn't get a cartridge with his razor got ripped off. Mine came with one and the way it's packaged, you can tell there's supposed to be a cartridge in there.
I've been using this razor for over a year now and I really like it. The refills are less expensive than the Gillette Fusion and to me, the shave is better. I get just as close of a shave as I do with the Gillette blades but I have less pull and irritation. The handle has a nice weight and balance to it with a rubberized grip and a positive on/off buttons for the motor. The motor runs on 1 AAA battery that literally seems to last forever and the blades seem to last for quite a while too before they need replacing.
I had always been a Gillette man but after trying this razor I've switched to Schick and what I feel is a superior and less expensive razor.

just as advertised love this razor wish they still made it first one lasted 4 yrs. bought 2 while they were still available

This gives a much better shave than the non-powered handle. I received a blade on mine unlike the other reviewer. It appears to be a real US product and not counterfeit as many are. I like the this as much as the Gillette Mach 3 and replacement blades are close to half the price when you find the 4+2 free packs that I find all the time at Target and Wally world. The one complaint I have is that it seems to have a milder vibration than the Gillette version and it eats batteries much faster. It is hard to find these powered handles in the stores, not sure why.

We've entered in an era where the disposable component of a product cost as much as or more than the product itself. It is a little disheartening to have something advertised as one thing and get 1/2 what was expected as what was delivered in the pckge that arrived via post. Especially when razor blades, like cartridges for our printers, are as costly and sometimes even more so, depending on even a modest qty purchased, than the product it is suppose to complete, like a manual razor or a desk jet printer. As a result, when I received the product (this quattro razor) with not a single magazine of razor blades (cartridge) usually clipped in the back of the razor blade holder I felt a little buyer's regret; however, I just kept it and went on figuring, like a man who came to repair a broken glass window (who I noticed had a long scare on his arm) said to me, 'sometimes we eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats us.' I'll tell you straight across the board I like the Gillette Fusion much better than this flimsy Quattro razor. I should just return it; yet, the hassle of packaging it and all 'oh well' --the bear ate me this time!
