Home > Categories > Hygiene Products > Personal Hygiene > Schick Quattro review
The world's first 4-bladed razor has arrived!
The new Schick Quattro has the power of 4 blades and 2 conditioning strips, which makes Quattro unlike any other razor... and gives you an incredibly close, unbelievably smooth shave.
- Four precisely synchronized blades.
- Two conditioning strips each with Aloe & Vitamin E.
- Ergonomic handle design provides advanced precision and control.
- Anti-clog technology for improved rinsability.
Product reviews...
I really like this razor although I will admit I tend to buy one pack, and then not want to spend the ridiculous amount on the blade refill packs so will then just buy another whole razor when I decide the cheap bic razors aren't doing a good enough job. I like the mens razors better as I find they give a smoother shave than the women's versions.
I like this one with it's four blades and the lubricating strips as it gets in nice and close and with the lubricating strips it glides over my skin so that I don't get any nasty shaving cuts. Although no matter how hard I try with any razor I will always get a cut on at least one of my knees still haven't quite figured out how to do the knees without cutting myself.
My partner also likes this razor and I like it when he uses it as I like the clean shaven look and also like the feel of his face when he uses an actual razor to do his face. He normally uses a hair shaver thing to do his face so it leaves behind stubble which drives me crazy but he feels like razors irritate his sensitive skin. This one he can use though without ending up with a shaving irritation.
The Schick Quattro is my hubbys favorite razor. Such a shame that these razors cost so much, but if you want a perfect shave then you have to pay for decent products.
Hubby has quite thick facial hair also, so he needs a razor he knows is going to do the job quickly, and not need going over and over several times which will cause irratation and cuts. The ergonomic handle design allows for good handly of the razor, and means that hubby can control the movement easily with out having to worry about slipping.
The two conditioning strips leave his skin feeling soft, smooth and with a light fragrance that is not too over bearing. Its not all sticking and slimy either which is fantastic, and the anti-clog technology does as it claims making rinsing a breaze.
We all need to take good care of ourselves, and manufacturers know this, which is why they can charge what they like for their products, but if it is a product that works, like this razor then as a consumer, you do not mind paying for it
This is the only razor that my husband will use. He has very course facial hair and he finds that the Schick Quattro blades do a good job and they last. I wouldn't call it a perfect shave (I am yet to see a "perfect" shave on him so we have to accept a "good" shave!) but gives a much better result for him than a 3 blade razor and the blades last longer than any other razor. The lubricant strip lasts very well too. He can make a blade last a week.
Other razors will give him a rash, however this one gives him a comfortable shave (and after) for the life of the blade. The cost is quite high but we weigh up the fact that they blades last and the quality of shave he gets and just have to accept the cost. We will continue to buy these blades and would recommend them - particularly for someone with course hair.
This is a very expensive razor, but it does a great job!! I brought one for hubby, but i think i use it more than he does, lol.
BUT ..I'm not so sure the shave stays smoother any longer than an average shaver and the refills are very expensive
I'm so glad this was a free one, part of a promotion run by a local radio station.
I shave about 3-4 times a week, tidying up the edges of the beard and clearing off the neck-stubble. For this task I usually just buy a pack of disposables, 12 for about $6. Good value, as they only last about half a dozen shaves each. So $6 keeps me covered for a good 3 months or so.
But since I had a chance to trial a 'fancy' razor, with four blades and an estimated lifespan of about a month on it's own, I thought it worth a shot. Sheesh, shouldn't have bothered.
The extra 2 blades, with their dinky little anti-chafe wires, the 2 lubricating strips with fancy unguents to give the skin instant balm against abrasion-burns, the swivel head to cover all angles... not much noticable improvement in performance and result over my preferred cheapo-brand ones!
Hot water, a good shaving foam, and a steady hand seem to be far more vital elements to a good clean shave than the much-touted shaver itself.
Overall, not really impressed. Don't think I'd like to see the cost of the refill packs either. The more the hype about the shaver, the higher the costs usually. And that often means huge costs for the heads. I'll stick to my 50c shavers thanks. The slightly smoother shave doesn't justify the $13+ pricetag for the basic shaver pack alone.

The life of a graphic designer is challenging and tough. Sure, the Creative Graphic Design process looks fanciful and glorified as they sit behind the branded computers, and use moleskin notebooks to design sketchy pictures. But, they have to constantly analyze various things and understand how these things interact with the design process. Over a period, it may lead to develop stress.
A designer's mind is also wired in a different way as their creative block keeps thinking about design all the time. They find it difficult to avoid as design is everywhere. Be it the chair you sit, laptop you work or the shelves in your wardrobe. These real world designs always forces them to think at a deeper level. The pressure to constantly deal with the tight deadlines, difficult clients or art directors, and changing design trends takes its toll on mind—which can cause a burnout. It's important to avoid such a scenario as stress can cause to various other health related problems.
Find the cause of stress – To root out the problem, it's important to find out the cause of the problem. So, think what is stressing out your mind –whether it's creative pressure, stiff deadlines or client relationships stressing you out. If client relationship is the source of stress, find out ways to reduce it. May be you can tweak your working style to reduce the stress. Study some time-management techniques to manage your projects efficiently.
The first, and most important step in leading a less-stressful designer lifestyle is to identify what it is that is stressing you out. After identifying the problem, you can begin to take action. If client relationships are stressing you out, perhaps you should study articles on dealing with clients. If project management is stressing you out, find a better solution to manage your projects and time.
Be more organized – Take a stock of your daily routine in the office and as well as home and think whether you are properly organized. Chances are that you can make your life little more organized by slightly tweaking your daily routine. Learn project management skills, and you can also use time-management software to become more orderly.
Don't treat your clients like they are a burden – Do you consider your clients as a burden? If you think so, change your attitude. It's true that dealing with them is not like having lunchtime together, but you can still make your life easier with them. Just accept them the way they are. You can't expect them to be as knowledgeable in understanding the nuances of design. They may not be right all the time, but complaining about them in public won't solve the problem.
Learn time management techniques – Time management is one of the most important arts to learn. An important way of time management is to reduce a big project into smaller chunks. Then you can think of grouping similar tasks or prioritize different works according to their urgency or importance.
Reduce creative blocks – Give a new dimension to your creative thinking process. Thinking about design all the time cannot be a good thing. Stop thinking whenever your mind goes in this direction. This way you can train your mind to think in the right direction.
Take a break and spend some time outside – When did you take the last break? If you have not done so for a long time, think of taking a short or medium term break. It will help you rejuvenate your mind. Apart from that, taking short breaks once in a while can also refresh your mind. To get the best output, you don't need to over-stress your life. Try to have a fun, and laugh as much as you can.
Wrapping up – To successfully manage your stress, you will have to take control of your life, thought, emotions, schedule and even the environment. Lead a balanced life and time should be appropriately divided for work, home, enjoyment and relationship.

I've constantly been a huge fan of low-contrast when it comes to couches. And luckily I've had a white one (or my existing linen shade) to mix with my light beige walls in my last couple of homes. Couches can be so bossy in an area and can absolutely take the eye far from all the other beautiful bits in a space. I feel the very same method about drapes – the more they mix with the walls, the much better:-RRB- Now, that specific word in the English language is implemented to describe something known as a finger food and not a sofa or couch.

The first ever BTH weekly power rankings: [WK 8]
Page 1 of 1
The first ever BTH weekly power rankings: [WK 8]
1. (1) Chicago Bears
Record 7-0
Chicago handily claims the first #1 spot in the power rankings with an NFC leading perfect record. Their most recent opponent, the Miami Dolphins, proved no match for this well balanced team on either side of the ball. With over 3000 yds of total offense already this season--attributed mostly to one of the league's leading rushers, Matt Forte--though Alshon Jeffery is doing his part--the Bears are hungry for victory and so far that seems to have been easy pickins for them. Now, headed to Foxborough to take on the formidable New England Patriots, can they keep this league leading streak alive? Appears to be a promising matchup, indeed.
2. (3) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Record 6-0
After a dismal 2013 season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise went under reconstruction--hiring rookie head coach Z. Pederson. A choice that has proven to be highly rewarding for the 2014 NFC South leading Bucs. Though on their bye week in week 7, Quarterback Mike Glennon and rookie wideout-wonder, Mike Evans, maintain the lead in their respective positions for total yards this season. Are both already front runners for this year's MVP award? Possible. Minnesota's Cordarelle Patterson looks to exploit the weaknesses in the Bucs secondary. Still, the Vikings defense will have to be able to withstand the dominance of Tampa Bay's relentless offensive attack in order to have a chance to hand them their first loss of the season.
3. (2) Cleveland Browns
Record 6-0
Landing in the third spot in the week 8 power rankings are the Cleveland Browns. That's right. Whether you expected it or not, Johnny Football and company are breaking down opponents week in and week out. This week's victims, the Jacksonville Jaguars, who allowed Eddie Lacy 204 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground in a notable 38-15 loss. The key to the Browns success, however, seems to be their defense, with outstanding performances in crucial categories including yards per game and turnover differential. This weeks opponent, Oakland, doesn't appear to have much of a chance of bringing down this team, so look for Cleveland to possibly continue climbing the ranks this week.
4. (4) Denver Broncos
Record 6-0
The Denver Broncos had quite a battle in week 7 in the mile high city. The visiting San Francisco 49ers seemed to have Peyton Manning on lockdown, causing 4 interceptions and allowing 0 points through 3 quarters of play. Denver showed its resilience, however, by scoring 17 unanswered points in the final quarter to win the game. Aqib Talib was a difference maker with 7 tackles, including two for a loss, and two picks of his own. This team takes the #4 spot because they proved this week once again that they know just what you need to know to succeed in BTH: How to get the W!
5. (6) New England Patriots
Record 6-1
Maintaining success in the BTH league is often highly dependent on who is behind center leading the team Since the loss of Tom Brady in week 3, who was the league leader in passer rating, Brian Hoyer has had to fill those illustrious shoes in New England, and so far so good. With Hoyer throwing for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns on the way to a seamless win against the rival New York Jets. With the help of Gronk and Shane Vereen, this offense seems to be handling the loss of the team leader with ease. Not allowing a loss at Foxborough yet this year, can the Pats hold off Chicago's strong run game in week 8 to keep their home streak alive?
6. (9) Seattle Seahawks
Record 5-1
Though they may not have as many wins as some of the lower ranked teams, the returning champion 'Hawks are a solid lock for #6 on the premiere of the BTH power rankings. Riding heavily on the #LOB's staggering 15 interceptions through 6 games, the Seattle defense has allowed only 115 points to their opponents. And with an ensuring defeat of St. Louis, 37-6, this team is poised to continue their success through week 8 when they take on the disappointing Carolina Panthers. Watch out for this team to take flight higher up the ranks soon enough.
7. (8 ) Houston Texans
Record 5-1
After some controversy has arisen this week, involving rushing league leader and superstar running back, Arian Foster, the Houston Texans look to stay focused on the rest of the season ahead of them. They seem to know how to bounce back well, seeing as though they are on a 6 game winning streak since losing the first game of the year. Nevertheless, how will the team respond to the BTH administration's accusations, while still keeping play going just as well on the playing field. Next week's divisional battle against the Tennessee Titans could prove to be a decisive moment in this team's season, allowing the fans of BTH to see the true colors of this seemingly budding young franchise.
8. (10) Minnesota Vikings
Record 5-2
Sharing a division with the Bears cannot be easy, but Minnesota picks up the slack by sporting the highest scoring offense in the league. Rookie Teddy Bridgewater is stepping up considerably well so far this year, passing for over 2,000 yards already and 22 touchdowns(league's highest) to only six interceptions. Add to that a powerful rushing attack headed up by none other than Adrian Peterson and you've got yourself something special on offense. That offense clearly demonstrated it's prowess with a shut out win over the Buffalo Bills, 52-0, drawing some criticism for running up the score. But if this team can continue to show this kind of dominance, expect to see them around for a while.
9. (5) San Francisco 49ers
Record 5-2
Though a shocking loss was the final result of an astounding defensive performance by San Fran against the Broncos, this team is neither down nor out. The first 2 loss team to land a spot on the rankings this week (both losses coming from undefeated teams), the 49ers have a lot to be proud of this year. Colin Kaepernick bolsters a league leading total in rushing offense, as does the team as a whole. Similarly, on defense, they are the NFC's best at stopping the run. With a bye week coming, if they can get their giveaways under control in practice, expect to see this team on these rankings for quite some time.
10. (11) Tennessee Titans
Jake Locker and the Tennessee Titans finish up our rankings at #10 after escaping Washington with a field goal win. But a win's a win, and Locker helped make it happen, throwing for 340+ yards and a perfect 3 touchdowns to help the team get it done. The defense did well containing the dangerous RGIII, allowing him only one touchdown on the ground and none through the air. Though not the most consistent team in points throughout the season, Tennessee is tough and plans to give the Texans quite a battle next week in a home game that might set the stage for how this division will eventually play out.
On the outside looking in: (5-2)

City dominate in Community Shield clash
Last updated: August 6, 2018 by Leon Marshal
The Premier League is just days away and while we count down the hours, the traditional curtain raiser, the Community Shield provided a chance to assess how runaway champions Manchester City would fare against FA Cup winners Chelsea.
With the World Cup still fresh in our minds and heavy on the players' legs, it was never going to be a full strength line-up from either team. But with a new man in charge at Chelsea and Pep Guardiola's desire to build on a remarkable Premier League campaign, the game was bound to give an insight into the upcoming season.
Chelsea, as expected, had a change in tactics as the new manager switched to a 4-3-3 formation, with Marcos Alonso playing at left back and Cesar Azpilicueta as the right back. Perhaps the most interesting inclusion to the team was that of David Luiz, who was benched for almost the whole of last season, pairing up with Antonio Rudiger.
New signing Jorginho was the heart of the midfield alongside Cesc Fabregas and Ross Barkley. Alvaro Morata, who has been subject to much speculation regarding his future, led the attacking line with Pedro and youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi. Willian was available but started on the bench.
Manchester City fielded a strong side with World Cup winner Mendy heading back early to feature alongside The Three Lions duo of Kyle Walker and John Stones. £60m Riyad Mahrez made his first competitive appearance on the right wing while PFA Young Player of the Year Leroy Sane made strides on the left with Sergio Agüero leading the lines.
City draw first blood
The match sprung to life early with Manchester City's all time goal scorer Sergio Agüero hitting his 200th goal in the 13th minute from a Phil Foden assist.
Manchester City did not play their usual dominating football, only managing 52% of the possession compared to Chelsea's 48%, but they were the more clinical side with 8 shots on target out of 14 while Chelsea only managed one out of four.
The Argentine Agüero, with a man of the match performance, bagged a second and his 201st goal for the club to put the match beyond Chelsea's reach in the 58th minute. Pep Guardiola would have surely wanted to take the lethal striker off the pitch but allowed City's all-time leading scorer to try for his hat trick, a feat he nearly achieved from a volley but the keeper was equal to it, able to punch the shot out at the cost of a corner.
The match ended 2-0 in favour of the reigning champions. Chelsea will of course point to the fact that they are just two weeks into the Sarri era, while Manchester City are 2 years into Guardiola's reign, but the worrying sign for Chelsea fans was the fact that they were completely outclassed in every aspect in this match.
Manchester City key-points
The Community Shield is not seen as the achievement it once was and rival fans are often very vocal in their mocking of any supporter that brings up the competition. The truth is, however, that you either need to win the league or the FA Cup to even take part so there may well be a degree of jealousy in that mockery.
Back in 1984, 100,000 spectators packed the old Wembley to watch the match between Liverpool and Everton. It may not be the most popular of events, but for many it is a barometer of the forthcoming season and at very least a reward for the fans for the success from the year before.
So while there is unlikely to be an open top bus parade through the streets of Manchester, City made their intentions clear and sent out a statement that they are still the team to beat. Worryingly for the rest of the teams, they show no signs of weaknesses in the side. This was even without a host of key players such as Kevin De-Bruyne, David Silva, Gabriel Jesus, and Raheem Sterling in the side.
Chelsea key-points
Chelsea manager Sarri had a bad start to his career as Chelsea manager. This was however with players who had never played together, in a position and a system that they were unfamiliar with, which will take time for them to adjust to. The match showed the amount of work needed to be done by the new manager for the team to be title contenders.
It did also show the great quality and potential in new signing Jorginho, who will prove to be a really important player for the team. Him pairing up with with Fabregas and Kante is an exciting prospect. No doubt Pep will wonder how his club failed to sign a player who was so closely linked with City for much of the summer.
The match came four days before the transfer deadline and the goalkeeping situation could be very much at the front of Sarri's thoughts. He is likely to be thinking about Wilfredo Caballero's World Cup horrific error in Argentina's match against Croatia, if Thibaut Courtois does make his much speculated move to Real Madrid from Stamford Bridge, who can he find to replace him at short notice? Remember the Europeans can still sign players from England even after the English transfer deadline.
Of equal concern must be the striker situation. Despite Álvaro Morata starting well last season for Chelsea, he is almost becoming Fernando Torres like for Chelsea on current form, only managing one shot off target in the game. Backup striker Oliver Giroud may have just won the World Cup but did not score a goal in the entire tournament. Chelsea's rumoured main target Gonzalo Higuaín decided against a move to London and is already settled in Italy with a move to AC Milan.

"Hey Jake," I answered my cell. "What's up Mario? The guys want to have some pizza tonight, can you deliver?", he asked. "I 'll be happy to," I said, "what time?
I work 4:30 - 8:30." "That's great, how about dinner around 7, can you do it? We need to prepare the "topping", you know…and then you get here some time before 9, okay?" "Sure," I answered feeling my cock getting hard, "call me to order around 6 and I bring you dinner." Time flies and now it's 6:40 and I am at Jake's house doorstep ringing the bell.
He opens the door completely naked, I get in. Frank and Jeb are sitting on the couch watching sports and stroking each other's dick. "Sorry I can't make it early, I would love to join you but we are quite busy tonight, guys," I say. "No worries, we love our pizza with extra topping and it takes time to do that," Jake answers cracking a tiny smile, "Brad and Markus will be here around 8:30 and the twinks a bit later, just like you." "The whole team?
Great! The more the merrier!" and I smile feeling my cock pushing harder and harder on the zipper. "Look, this is what I am thinking," Jake continues facing me.
"You are new to our game and it takes you longer to get where you need to be to "accept" the big guys, like Markus. Since you 'll be late, what we should do is have you ready when you get here, agree?" and looked me in the eye. "Absolutely!" I say anticipating a nice stretching of my hole. "Preparation is the base of success!" "Okay, so leave the pizzas on the table, drop your pants and bend down," he commands changing his tone to a rather strict, authoritative one.
I obey without hesitation, wondering what is in his mind. Jake feels my crack with his fingers and spits just enough to make it slippery. Then he gently pushes a finger in my hole and spits some more right on my hole while working his finger in and out in short movements.
I am nice and wet now. "Guys," he calls Frank and Jeb, "bring me the pepperoni. Jeb, the red plug is in the kitchen, please bring it too, just washed it." Frank places the pepperoni pizza right under my spread legs and ass. Jake dips a finger in the melted fat and lubes my hole, then he takes a pepperoni, dips it in the melted fat and slowly pushes it in my hole.
I love his idea!
"There, boy," he says. Then he takes another piece and does the same. Frank and Jeb slide another couple pieces each, some of them with pieces of cheese dripping fat. Jake checks with his middle and makes sure everything is in place and spits twice on the butt plug a good amount of saliva, thick and bubbly. The plug is tapered and average in size, three fingers at the widest.
"Open him up," he asks Frank and Jeb and the duo each grab my ass cheeks and pull them aside. By instinct, I assume the cow position, if you go yoga you know what I mean. Jake touches my hole with the plug's tip and pushes it in gently, then starts turning it and pushes some more. A beautiful feeling! He fucks me for maybe a minute and then gives it one more push and it disappears inside me, only its base is left out of my hole.
Totally plugged up, I give a little push just to feel how far I can go without pushing the plug out. "Mother of God!" I cry, "my ass is so full right now!" "And it will be for the next couple of hours," Jake replies. "Don't you dare remove the plug! I can find out if you do and you will not be invited again!" he adds and slaps my right ass cheek.
"Remove it? It's wonderful to have your ass full like that," I say, "I love it!" and I pull up my tight jeans. The guys smirk and I leave; I am already late. While driving, the butt plug feels fine, in place. Luckily, my tight jeans only allow the plug to come out an inch or two, no more. My rectum is excited, I feel a push to empty my bowels but the plug is secure, no way it can move.
I park and when I turn to get out of the car, my rectum pushes hard to get rid of the pepperoni. The plug's widest part is almost out of my hole, my rectum straining, my hole wide open…I feel my bowels protest and when the wave of excitement subsides, my jeans push the plug back in as soon as I start walking to the pizzeria.
My next two hours are hell. My rectal reaction to the pepperoni fat is incredible. My bowels keep pushing the plug out and it keeps coming in. I feel my belly complain, growl and rumble trying to get rid of the stuffing. It comes in waves, some stronger than others.
I go to the bathroom only to just pray and hope no accidents happen. I already feel some kind of moisture down there…I am happy today is not one of the days I go commando. Ooops! I dropped my pen and…my lower body is ready to explode.
When I stand up, the plug fucks me one more time. I must sound funny on the phone, it is extremely difficult to manage my voice with all that is going on inside me. I go to the bathroom again. There is a leak of sorts. The toilet tissue is yellowish but doesn't smell bad. It's melted fat. I touch the base of the plug with my finger, then lick it.
It's tasty. I fill my ass crack with dry toilet tissue, give a good push to the plug, pull up my pants and back to the counter. I guess the smiling lady picking up her deep dish with her daughter has no idea what I am going through. She smiles at me, I smile back and feel more rectal juices leaking.
It's funny but the convulsions seem not to come as often as before. I am relaxed, the fullness is still there but it's a different kind, milder, deeper.
There are moments I don't feel anything, not even the butt plug. I know it's there and I squeeze my cheeks to make sure it stays in place. Yes, it is in place but when I relax my glutes, I feel it come out an inch or so only to go back in in just a few seconds. I guess this is what Jake wanted, relax and train my hole before tonight's party. "Jesus," I think, "15 fucking minutes…I am sure my hole will be a mess when I get there tonight.
Jake is right, I will be wide open." I daydream taking all the guys in my ass and in my mouth and tasting another delicious cum covered pizza. I ring the doorbell and Jake opens the door, his cock dangling. Brad and Markus are here, the twinks Bill and Phil too. I undress and notice the large stain on my underwear, a smaller one on my jeans.
I join the others and, it's strange, I do not have to hold the plug in with my hand. It stays there with no effort. "Mario!" Brad shouts with one of the twinks giving him head and the other sucking his balls, "great to see you again! Jake told me he gave you a special treatment for tonight's session. Can't wait to see the results!" "It's been a challenge," I say, "but love the feeling." "Feeling stuffed?" Markus asks, "oh boy, wait and see!" and winks at Brad.
Frank is on all fours on the floor and Jake is straddling him while bending forward, their asses piling one on top of the other and right in front of Markus. Markus is a big black muscular guy and loves to play in threesomes. He plunges in Frank's ass while his tongue teases Jake's hole. Then he switches asses and fucks Jake while his left middle is in Frank's hole. "I am so hungry, it's time to let your load on my dinner!" Brad says and nods.
"Put the pizza on the floor and sit on it, boy," he orders, "and do your best." I go over the pizza and squat. The plug is not so willing to leave my hole's embrace, I pull it and wait. I feel something dripping off me, then a fart bursts out of my hole and pepperoni pieces land all over the pizza. Now I start to feel the strain, a powerful one. My body pushes out everything Jake made me hold in for hours.
"Hell," I think, "I am gonna shit my guts out! Unnnnhhh!" Some sort of prolapse must be showing out of my hole, I feel my rectum inside out… and still straining hard, very hard. A tiny stream of piss comes out of my cock making the pizza even more flavorful. A few convulsions later and all I had inside me is on the pizza.
My intestines are relaxed now. Frank and Jake offer me their soaked asses while I shit pepperoni. Their asses smell Markus' musky juices. The pepperoni trick worked like magic. I am open to take a whole army. Markus is checking my ass with his fingers. "Man, what a beautiful rosebud you have," he says and pushes me down on my hands and knees.
He spreads my cheeks and asks me to push again. My rosebud is in plain view. Markus slaps my oily crack with his black monster and just pushes my little prolapse, he enters me effortlessly. There is no better feeling in this world other than a big black cock nailing a well lubricated ass. I gasp, not from pain but from pleasure. I let go of my reflex and push out only to let him in even deeper. "Nothing better than a warmed up ass!" he says and starts fucking me.
All the way in, down to his balls, then out half way and then all in till his hips slam my cheeks. A few times he gets out and feels like his thick head turns me inside out tickling my anal muscle. Right after my gaping hole closes, he pushes in fast till he disappears inside. Brad does the same with the twins taking turns fucking them in the ass and the mouth. The young boys serve their master every way they can every time they are asked.
With Brad's cock pumping in his ass, Phil fucks Bill's ass who can't help but let little screams out. Then Brad fucks Bill who in turn pushes his dick inside Phil.
A beautiful, happy trio! Soon, the twins run to the pizza and cum together on my soft pepperoni. Brad follows them and takes a slice. As soon as he sinks his teeth in it, he rolls his eyes and says, "Super fucking delicious! I never ever in my life had such a tasty pepperoni pizza!" He devours the whole slice leaving only the crust which he dips in the small piss pool at the corner of the pizza box.
"Mamma mia! Mario, you are our preferred pizza delivery boy from now on!" and winks.
Right now, Markus is fucking me ferociously doggy style, my juices splashing on his hips every time he thrusts deep. My knees are on the floor but my hands have better things to do.
I grab Franks's and Jake's balls and squeeze them tight. They moan in pain but I know they like it. Literally, I am hanging by their balls. Brad comes close and lays down on his back next to me. "Markus, let's do it!" he says and smiles. "Ride my cock, boy!" he orders me and I am happy to serve him my soft ass lips. I straddle him and sit on his cock which enters balls-deep with very little resistance. A few fucking motions and I become the happiest rider on earth.
Markus comes behind me and guides his cock in my hole. Without kneeling, he forces himself in my ass.
It's not easy but I am so oiled up, he pushes all the way in. I gasp again. I am ecstatic! My first DP! Two monstrous cocks create the most devilish havoc in my rear end.
I feel them both going in and out independently of one another, but sometimes they have the same rhythm and fuck me in unison.
I have absolutely no control over my ass sphincter. I feel it is stretched beyond anything I could achieve with just straining. Actually, I am in a constant state of straining…my rectum is wrecked and having a ball!
With two cocks in my ass, two cocks in my mouth and two balls in each hand, all fucking me in every way possible…I am the slut of the night! My heart beats fast, I lose concept of time…now, that's a high!
I hear some rustling noises, it seems the twinks placed a pizza right under my chin. Soon after Fred and Jeb shoot my face with their sperm…warm thick sperm…running down my cheeks and on the pizza. I lick my two mouth-fuckers dry as much as I can when…Markus pushes all the way in me, his cock starts convulsing inside my ass.
I feel him flood my rectum…and I know…black guys' sperm is so very white, shiny white!
He moans, "Wooooaahhh!" and stays put to keep my hole stretched for Brad to feel the squeeze. Soon after, Brad, the muscular fucker below me gives one more powerful thrust and releases his man juice right where Markus shot his. Knowing they are both so pleased, I can't help but cum on Brad's belly, almost the same time he lets his juice go in me.
I know my sphincter is squeezing these two men, trying to milk the last few drops from their cocks… One of the twinks moves the pizza under my ass and I start licking my own sperm from Brad's navel. Then I move to his cock and balls.
The mix of cum and ass mucous tastes delicious! Thanks to my two DP friends, I am not tight anymore. Most of my fuckers' sperm drips on the pizza, I push a little and some more leaves my insides.
But Markus can't wait, he shoves three fingers up me and fucks me hard triggering another reflex reaction…my rosebud comes out of its hiding covered with even more juice, bright white juice! It all lands on the pizza. "Guys, let's eat," Brad says and grabs a sperm covered slice.
"I am not there yet," Markus says and he takes a pizza slice too. He does not eat it but dips his cock in the sperm and feeds it to me.
When all the sperm is gone from his slice, I lick him a few more times. I love the oily feel of his dark purple head and how it slides on my tongue. "Awesome!" I manage to say in spite of my physical exhaustion.
"We need to do this often, guys." "Sure," Jake says and they all laugh. "But next time we can try something new. My friend asked me to house-sit on his gorgeous condo and it is right on the beach!"

Bitfinex, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has been implicated in a Polish investigation into the Columbian drug cartel's money laundering operation, local media outlets report.
Last week, authorities in Poland seized 1.27 billion Polish zlotys (~$371 million) from bank accounts belonging to two companies suspected of laundering money for drug cartels in Columbia.
The news was first reported by Polish media outlet TVP Info, which said that the two Pruszków-registered companies — referred to as "company M" and "company C" — were initially linked to the illicit activities because one of them allegedly defrauded the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than €400,000 while the ministry was constructing an embassy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The report further stated that the companies were connected to an unnamed cryptocurrency exchange.
However, in a separate report, Polish tech blog Spider's Web pointed the finger directly at Bitfinex, citing "unofficial information" and noting that the bank in question — Skierniewice's Cooperative Bank — is the same institution to which Bitfinex directed customers to for exchange-related deposits as recently as 2017.
Bitfinex's difficulties acquiring a stable banking partner have been well-documented, though Dutch banking group ING recently confirmed that the exchange operator is a client.
Meanwhile, an unidentified user on a Polish Bitcoin forum claimed that he was recently interrogated by Polish law enforcement officials in connection with a transaction from Crypto sp z o.o, whose parent company Crypto Capital Corp. is believed to be a Bitfinex-owned shell company.
No charges had been filed at press time, and the reports indicated that prosecutors were coordinating with both Europol and Interpol due to the international nature of the allegations.
Bitfinex did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson told FinanceMagnates that it is aware of the allegations but believes that they are untrue.
"Bitfinex can confirm that it is aware of the current allegations that have been reported by Polish media over the past several hours," the spokesperson said. "Bitfinex believes that these allegations are untrue and Bitfinex customers and operations are unaffected by false rumors."

Over the past few years, Disney's
The family entertainment giant is now hoping to make a similar connection in the world's most populous nation. After the successful opening of Hong Kong Disneyland last year, Disney announced this week that it would be partnering with Shanda
Shanda can certainly use the pixie dust. Unlike fast-growing rival NetEase
The company's moves into gaming hardware and giving away older games have been puzzling and mostly unproductive. If anything, this new deal with Disney stands out like a sore thumb because it makes so much sense.
If China embraces Mickey Mouse as more affluent Japan has -- and early indications suggest it certainly might -- Shanda could have a hit on its hands when the new game is released early next year. China's leading games skew toward fantasy titles for older players. If Disney and Shanda help lure a younger audience into online gaming in the midst of China's booming economy, those pint-sized players could eventually help Shanda matter again as they grow up. There's little downside to this deal.
Shanda and NetEase have been active recommendations in the Motley Fool Rule Breakers newsletter service for more than a year. NetEase has crushed the market, while Shanda has simply been crushed. One game can change that.
Shanda's Goofy idea? It's not so goofy.
A spoonful of further Foolishness:
- Disney delivers in its latest quarterly results.
- Executive shuffles accompany Shanda's recent woes.
- Where to look for the greatest growth.
Longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz has been a fan of China's high-margin gaming stocks for a long time; he recommended NetEase last year to Rule Breakers subscribers. He owns shares in Disney, aMotley Fool Stock Advisorpick. The Fool has adisclosure policy.
