Gillette: The Fusion Power Gamer is ugly. The Gamer version is exactly like the regular Fusion Power but with white, black and orange colour scheme that looks a bit cheap. However the razor itself has a nice weight to it and you can tell it’s made well. It comes in a cheap plastic resting case.

Quattro: The Quattro Titanium Precision Freestyle is clearly the better looking of the two. It’s sleek, black and encased in rubber. The razor itself, again, feels well made and this one comes with a handy holding dock that you can fix to your mirror with suction cups.

Quattro: The Quattro Titanium Precision has a four blade shaving surface, they’re sharp and durable. These stayed sharper for longer than the Gilette but the design didn’t seem to shave as well. I’ve used four-blade razors that perform very well so I don’t understand what the problem is.

Obviously the Quattro Titanium Precision Freestyle has better features than the Gillete razor which simply vibrates (whether the vibration helps is up for contention, I’m not so sure about it). The Quattro comes with a hair trimmer on the opposite end that even includes a cover that you can move to trim more or less hair. I gave it a whirl on my sideburns and it worked really well (and i’m definitely not a hairdresser), i’m sure it’d be useful in a pinch but the size is too small if you’re going to try and trim larger areas of your face with it. As the name says, this is for precison work and it does the job well.

I shaved with each razor for a week and then spent a week shaving my face half and half with both razors. I shaved every day or every two days.

Quattro: The Quattro, for all its features, just didn’t give me a decent shave. I don’t shave against the grain and this razor didn’t give me a close enough shave without going against. If I had to use one word to describe the results, i’d say uneven. With daily shaving, I found that my skin didn’t get very irritated with this razor but that’s probably because I wasn’t getting a full shave from it

Gillette: I was so used to having to go over some spots twice with the Quattro razor that I ended up being a bit over-zealous with the Fusion and cut my neck. This is a sharp razor. It glides across the face easily, gives you a close shave in one pass with minimal pulling of skin. The only problem with this is that the blades are so sharp that daily shaving with it made my skin quite irritated a few days in but nothing that couldn’t be mediated with the tips I listed here.

The Quattro Titanium Precision is stylish, durable and the built-in trimmer makes this a fantastic 2-in-1 product. However the place it fell flat for me was in the actual shaving and isn’t that what a razor’s meant for? I wouldn’t repurchase this. Well maybe if I was going on holiday and anticipated some emergency trimming situation.

The Fusion Power Gamer is ugly but it’s great at what it does. The vibrating feature might be useless (I thought I felt a difference in the quality of my shave when using it but didn’t see one) but it’s a nice placebo effect. Vibration aside, it doesn’t take away from the fact that the Fusion Power Gamer provides a nice smooth shave with no irritation (unless you’re shaving daily which can be the case with most razors). The only major drawback for me is how bloody costly it is to keep replacing the heads of the razor (which do need to be replaced frequently). There’s always the Razor Pit but i’d rather not have to buy a separate product. I’ve repurchased this plenty of times before and will do in the future.
