Wilkinson Sword Quattro Bikini Razor

Shaving our legs might not be the most glamourous of topics but as we are (hopefully) heading into Summer it's a task that will certainly be necessary as we start thinking about casting off our tights, applying fake tan and exposing our legs to the world.

Wilkinson Sword have been my go to brand for razors for years now with my product of choice being their packs of disposable beauty razors always throwing them into my trolley during a supermarket swap and they do the job quite well, or so I thought. Enter the Wilkinson Sword Quattro* and I realised I had been using the more inferior from the range.

The Quattro contains four ultra thin blades with two conditioning strips which do literally glide over your skin, even my knobbly knees. I was inbetween bottles of L'Occitane's Almond Shower Oil, my shaving cream of choice, and using shower gels which would usally provide a less smooth shave. I found where the disposable razors would perform adequately with a shower gel it felt a little more harsh yet with the Quattro it was as if I was using my preferred oil - and with the shower oil it was literally a dream and I even felt I could forgo using a seperate moisturiser.

Then we move further into the TMI territory and our bikini lines. Whatever methods and look you prefer 'down there' the need for touch ups, especially if you're lucky enough to be modelling a bikini any time soon, is necessary. The handle of the Quattro is a battery operated, waterproof trimmer that is activated by the touch of a button. I must confess I was paranoid using this in the bath expecting some sort of electrical explosion but it was perfectly safe but I wish you could've seen my face when I dropped it in the bath and then realised I was still alive.

If it's of interest you'll also receive a shower holder but after attemping a couple of times to get it to stick to mine and an ensuing tantrum I threw it in the bin - I guess you can't have everything.

Usually I'll use my disposable razor's one or twice and then throw in the bin, the Wilkinson Sword Quattro will last infinitely long and each blade works out less than my usual pack so I might even find I save myself some money.

If like me you're thinking of getting your pins Summer ready I did notice this is currently on offer in Boots - let me know if you give it a whirl.
