You don’t need to change Razor.Ĭonclusion: Gillette blades offer excellent quality but less using time in most cases, causing you a significant amount of money to refill since Gillette setup is always expensive. Are Schick Quattro blades interchangeable?įirst 5 Blades in one Cartridge Fits all Schick Quattro Men & Women, Titanium, Bic Soleil, Persona Caliber5 Wilkinson Tech4 Razor. It’s a way to lock customers into a product line, but Schmalensee says it’s also a way to charge higher prices for customers who use the product more often.

How do the above compare to the RR Lupo 95 SS, RR Wunderbar or the Mühle R41 (my fav blades are Wilkinsons, Feathers, Astra SS, 7oc yellow.Companies woo customers with an inexpensive, maybe even below-cost product (like the razor handle) and then charge more a related good (such as the refill blades). Jumping straight to the deep end of the water is not a wise choice. Always try something inexpensive when it comes to a different style of shaving and if you like it and want something ''better'', then move on something more expensive. Most vintage injectors are very easy to find and they are also very affordable as well as their blades. My recommendation would be to try an injector razor first and if you like how it shaves, then you can move on to the AC style. These things are crazy expensive and they are not that impressive. The shaving isn't much different than shaving with an injector razor and on top that the blades for the injectors are much cheaper, I don't think i'll stock on AC blades after mine are gone. The reason why i've got the Yaqi, was because I wanted to see and feel what others are raving without paying too much.

The shave is somewhat similar to shaving with my injectors and I really like it, but I wasn't blown away by it.

#Do all schick blades fit full#
The shaving expirience as well as the angle and feel is much different at least to me so all I can say is that in general they feel more comfortable and I get less irritation when I try to get a full BBS.įollowing the recent AC razor hype, i've ''bought'' a Yaqi razor, which is basically a ''clone'' of the Blackland Vector razor and after a few months later, i've bought a pack of Schick Proline P-30 blades to give it a try. How do the above compare to the RR Lupo 95 SS, RR Wunderbar or the Mühle R41 (my fav blades are Wilkinsons, Feathers, Astra SS, 7oc yellow.)?įirst of all, the SE style razors (imho) have absolutely nothing in comparison to DE razors. I want an efficient razor that might be smoother than my DEs, if that is even possible. I'd spend the price of the v2, but I don't want a mild razor. That leaves me with the Hawk v3 Aggressive, but I'm hesitant to spend 100eur just to give it a try. The Hawk v2 is said to be mild, so that might be a deal-breaker for me.

There isn't much info on the Yaqi, some ppl here like it, but no comparison to other well known razors. My prices(after taxes and shipped): Hawk v2: ~50eur, v3: ~100eur, Yaqi ~50eur. The available options (realistically, in the EU) are the RR Hawk v2, the v3 family and maybe the Yaqi AC SE, but I'm not sure I'd like to do the whole "customs" mess from China, as it might spoil the fun. I read that the rigidity of AC blades makes them different to DE blades? I don't want to try open blade razors, the other option is an SE. I have been thinking lately about trying AC blades.
