Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review

The Schick Hydro Silk Razor definitely gives a closer shave than any other razor on the market. This is due not only to the fact that it has the best blade layout but also because the handle allows for the best, most comfortable grip.

My only complaint with this product is that I've found that the 'Water-Activated Moisturising Serum' on the blade head makes any sort of shaving rash that I get post shave much worse. But as far as I'm concerned that's a small price to pay for the smoothest shave possible.

great for people with coarse dark hair as the hydrating block helps with a smoother shave. schick have the best razor handles - easy to hold, good size.

First impressions: The packaging for this razor is easy to get into, which is something I can't say for its sister product (the Schick Intuition).

Five blades seems to be the most that razor brands are putting in their products at the moment. A little excessive? I've never had a problem with three bladed razors. I wonder how far this will go, maybe in five years we'll be seeing eight bladed razors?

This razor comes with a little travel cap which clips over the head. Nice touch, but I wish it came with a shower mount too, so it doesn't end up going rusty from sitting on the floor in my shower.

The razor head has a "water-activated moisturising serum" around the blade area. Another nice touch, although I found when I first used the razor that a little too much of the serum was "activated" and it ended up clogging the blades.

I didn't see as close a shave with this as I could achieve with the Schick Intuition, which is a bummer. I also cut my knee! I've been shaving my legs for ten years and this has got to be the first time in literally years I've cut myself. I guess this is a testament to how sharp the blades are!

In conclusion... well, this razor does its job. It certainly removes body hair. I'm not in LOVE with it, but I'll definitely keep using it.

This is a razor with a big fat awkward looking white head with five blades and a wee gel strip that helps the razor glide and we holes above the blades and beneath the blades full of a serum that helps moisturise my skin as I chop my hairs off at skin level. The head pivots and glides easily over my bony ankles and knobbly knees and moves easily under my arms, the blue rubber handle is so easy to hold with wet hands and comfortable to use. This comes with a spare razor head that's easy enough to change. And a holder for the shower I never use that. It did the job left me nice and smooth and no irritation from shaving. I put some pre shaving goodies on my parts I want to do and just slide this razor over my stubble, and it just chops it off nice and close. I find I always buy a new razor instead off new blades. Would I repurchase this yes, if it was on sale when I was due for a new one.

I really loved this razor. You get a super close shave and it glides along your skin so nicely. It also has a really nice handle so it's easy to grip onto. The only downside i found was that 'moisturising serum' didn't last too long in the razor - but I guess that is to be expected, of course it's not going to last forever! But while it was there it definitely made it a much smoother shave.

I won this one in a competition and didn't think it would perform as well as it has, but boy did it do a great job...For Travelling i would definitely take this one along with me and i think its affordable enough to maintain... i like the smoothness it leaves and the softness as well as the moisturizing bit.. overall a great razor that i would recommend to anyone..

I've tried many razors over the years and this one has definitely been the best. It has enough moisture and the blades stay sharper longer compared to other schick ones I have tried. Also, hair doesn't get clogged in the blades and it rinses really easily. Gives a nice smooth close shave and doesn't cause me any irritation like red bumps. The best thing about it has to be that the blades last longer than any other schick I have used.

I found this shaver quite good only thing I don't really like about it was once the soapy stuff around the razor gets abit wet it's very gooey and only lasts a few shaves apart from that it's good I would use it again

Something I really, really love about this razor is the little gel pads on the blades - I find shaving in the shower to be a very tedious task, but with the gel constantly making my legs nice and slippery the blades just glided along my legs.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the closest shave ever, but I was happy with the result - no nicks or cuts and my legs felt moisturised afterwards.

I also love the little "travel case" it comes with - very handy, doesn't come off easily and does it's job.

I have very sensitive skin all razors give me shaving rash no matter what kind I use or how many blades there are.. ive been using this one for a couple of days now and it seems to be working perfect!! It shaves closely and glides perfect.. I love it!!!
