Shick's new tool is a razor and bikini trimmer called the Quattro For Women Trimstyle and it comes in a feminine pink and teal-ish package. The tool itself is the same teal and white so while it's different from the pink of the original Quattro for Women, it's still quite feminine. Although wider than the Quattro razor, it's not unwieldy. Like the original, there is a little rubber button to rest your finger, right above the razor blade, but I found that this was not where my finger naturally rested.
The razor takes the same 4-blade replacement as the original Quattro for Women (so you can use any blades you may have) although the razor cap slides on from the end instead of over the top (this might be better. It seems more secure).
The trimmer is powered by 1 AAA battery which has a rather clever compartment. This makes the whole thing waterproof and since I am not a fan of dry shaving, this is good. It also means the trimmer can be cleaned up by running water over it. The Quattro For Women Trimstyle comes with a plastic holder which suctions to the shower wall but probably will not fit in the original shower holder.
The trimmer has an adjustable comb for 3 different lengths and can be removed entirely. With the comb on, I never worried about cutting myself nor did I find the trimmer to be too bulky. The comb was a little tricky to maneuver. It was easy to set it at the short or long lengths but the middle one was harder because the comb wanted to skip past that setting. Removing the comb can help for cleaning up any little hairs.
The trimmer is powered by a button on the handle. I found that, during shaving, I would occasionally bump this button. I think that would happen no matter where the button is located on the handle as long as it is that shaft and is the style it is. I would prefer a switch you push into an on/off position as opposed to the button.
My experience with Shick's new Quattro For Women Trimstyle was pretty good. I don't really like the tricky job of shaving my bikini area so I tend to let it go until I know something must be done. I don beekeeper style gear, grab a hatchet and set to work for long hours under the blinding sun. At least it feels like it. With the trimmer, I was able to trim several months' growth of hair in 5 10 minutes so I looked presentable. This made the more precision shaving which was to come a lot easier. While there were a few straggling hairs which I missed, I think it was more my fault than that of the Quattro For Women Trimstyle.
The Quattro For Women Trimstyle never once caught on my hair or cut me. I could use the trimmer in either direction; although, the cut was closer it I went against the grain. The trimmer is not super quiet. It sounds like an electric razor and if you feel the need to hide what you're doing, make sure to have the shower on or to be home alone. However, it was not ridiculously loud.
Ive always reviewed the Quattro For Women razor and while I like it, I wound up defaulting to my Venus Divine because I was sick of buying 2 sets of blades. One thing is for sure, the Quattro gives me a much smoother shave in some areas, like my bikini line and the back of my thighs but not in others (like my actually bikini area or legs). While shaving the bikini area after trimming, I did bring out my Venus to get a few hairs the Quattro seemed to miss consistently. I'm not sure what the rhyme or reason it for why the razor for so well.
However, I feel this is a strong tool overall. If you don't have time to shave, the trimmer works well. If you like to do both, it's 2 tools in 1. If you are like me and need to tame the lion, the trimmer is the first tool for the job and then you can go back for more precise styling later. If you run out of razor blades, a close trim will certainly tide you over. Now that I have the Quattro For Women Trimstyle, I don't see myself ever needing to go into the jungle again. It will be much easier to consistently take care of the bikini area.
I was actually quite a bit nervous to use the trimmer down there, but I tried it and it works pretty good. Took one star away for it being so loud. Could definately be mistaken for something totally different if heard from outside the bathroom. A little embarassing!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I bought this before reading any reviews and got it for less than ten dollars at my local beauty store. I sure did like the idea of trimming my nether regions in the shower, rather than perched over the tiolet with an extension cord on the end of a big hair trimmer. This product is two things, first it is a razor and second it is a trimmer, reverse the order, if you like. In regards to the razor. It is pretty good. It doesn't have as much flex as say some men's schick razors out there, but it still seemed to shave me close. I noticed the razor width is a tiny bit shorter than the men's one I was using prior so it seemed like it took me a little longer to get the job done. The trimmer worked very well. I noticed several reviews where others were unhappy with the trimmer not leaving them smooth. Remember it is a "TRIMMER," not a razor. When you get get your hair trimmed at the salon, do you find yourself running your hands over a bald head? It is meant to leave hair, just a shorter version of it! And it does a great job at that, no nicks, no pulling, just shorter, less bushy hair, down there. I will tell you this, I did had to go the shortest setting to get a length that I found good. You can also remove the adjustable guard and do a closer TRIM, say on the sides and it will take the hair off, but will not give a baby smooth finish. I think this is better because whenever I lost my senses and actually shaved with a razor down there, I itched like crazy when the hair was regrowing. I think for $10 it is worth it just for the trimmer part personally. My husband also used it to trim his mustache because the hair trimmers out there tend to be huge and can't fit under his nose very well and it did a fabulous job. I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 because although the razor head does swivel there is a lack of flex in the actual blades.

I was trying to find a good trimmer for my bikini area because I was sick of the oh so painful razor bumps!
This does the trick! The trimmer provides a close trim without any irritation. Since I like to have absolutely no hair (lol), I use the razor to remove everything, and it's great! It's a nice, smooth, razor bump free shave! And that's saying something since every form of hair removal (including tweezing) irritates me. For ten dollars, I couldn't be more pleased. :-)

The Tactical First Response Kit Basic by Rescue Essentials is designed and advertised to treat severe bleeding yet fails to provide quality products that may not be capable of effectively stopping severe hemorrhaging. If you are in a situation where you or another individual is faced with a life threatening severe arterial bleed I am not convinced that this kit will be effective in stopping the bleed until a higher level of care arrives or until you get to an appropriate medical facility.
