Every time they come out with a new razor, I give it a try. But it seems follow up blades don't perform like the rest. On the Shick Quattro Titanium, the first one lasted me about 5 shaves. The last one tried lasted only two. With the multiblade shavers there is no way to clean the head. I have a tough beard but it seems over the last 40 years, there would be improvements. With single edge blades, I am subject to cuts and nicks.

Electrics don't work for me at all. A tough beard in spite of the fact I have blonde hair.

I began shaving when I was 12 and it has now been 49 years. In the Army, I had to shave three times a day. Still do if women don't want razor rash from kissing.

Bic disposable razors, I know of a number of people who don't even bother using foam, gel or water with these just use them once and throw them away ! And at a pound for a bag of 10 its not even expensive !

What would really be a good razor is an obsidian blade straight razor. The sharpest and most durable with a one molocule edge. Unfortunately, costing $1400 and I never learned to use a straight razor.
