Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review

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 often use this razor, I have a couple of different types and just buy blades for whatevers on special. This one works great, leaves legs and armpits nice and smooth. Also contours nicely in my armpits and I haven't cust myself using this razor. Only downside is that the strip goes quite sticky and gluggy...a bit like a rubberband thats melted to the windowsill in the sun. Other than that, not issues.

a decent razor, however i find causes slight irritations and the hydro part disappears really quickly and is sticky and goopy not a fan i find it works much better once it has disappeared, the heads are also really expensive to repurchase

So basically I asked my mother to bring me a razor one time when she visited at the end of winter and she chose this one because she figured it'd save me cash to buy the blades instead of disposable razors all of the time. First of all, the blades are freakin' expensive. I definitely think this product is effective, however and REALLY good for my underarms. I have a skin condition that reacts quite badly when I use disposable razors but I find with the way this one curves it's pretty easy to get to the hair without touching my condition. But for legs, this for me is a no no. No irritation? Um, yes irritation. My skin gets quite red and weird after using this on my legs. I also find that rather than preventing nicks and cuts, I get more cuts with this than past disposable razors. It does get close to the skin and it does effectively remove hair, I won't deny that. Also I find one blade can do both of my underarms and both of my legs, but then again I have never used this on full on leg hair (that's what my hair removal cream is for). Overall it works to remove hair, but I definitely wouldn't use it on my legs ever again. I also want to say that I really love the designs on my razor and the little case thing that sticks to the inside of my shower wall is super convenient.

Having been a shick intuition user for years, I was excited to give this a go being that it is much cheaper than my usual razor, however was left feeling slightly disappointed. I felt it dragged on my skin, and left it feeling slight raw and sore after use. I used conditioner with it for my legs (way less drying than soap!) and it still felt a bit rough on my skin - maybe it would work better with shaving cream? I will use this again in case of emergencies, but won't rush off to buy it.

I was really excited to try this razor. Schick is a good brand and Ireally needed a new razor. The first few times I used it I loved it. The stick to the wall mechanism was handy and it glided across very smoothly, leaving a silky gel like layer behind (the serum). The serum did not last very long and after that it became a very average razor. I often feel a bit of irritation after using it on my legs. It's better than a cheap disposable razor and I love razors you can buy new heads for. However to keep the razor silky, you'd be spending $20 on new heads every couple of months.

I was lucky to get this razor free with Schicks recent 100% cash back offer. Firstly, this offer already put this company and its products in a better light for me because razors can be an expensive item in the weekly groceries, so its nice to be able to try the more expensive razors for free, before purchasing them for yourself.

So all my life, I’ve gone for cheap razor options, all disposable, and some which have not been very good for my sensitive legs, but when you’re a student you don’t have many options. This probably has to be one of the more expensive razors I have tried, and I think I brought it for about $16.00, which made me cringe … ekk! Lucky in the back on my mind, I knew I would get reimbursed for this purchase.

After opening the packaging, I was impressed immediately. The razor comes with an attachment which sticks to the shower wall and holds your razor for you! In a shower which my nieces sometimes use, it gives me piece of mind to know my razor is high up and out of reach of the younger children.

Additionally, the packaging contained another razor head, so when I could replace the blades when the first ones got dull.

Now the design of the razor, I love it. It has a blue handle which has a rubbery texture to it, making it so easy to hold and use with wet hands. The head of the blade connects to the handle in a way that allows the head to move easily over the curves on your body, especially knobble parts like your knees. My favourite thing about this product is the small thin gel like strip on the razor head which lets the razor glide smoothly and effortlessly over skin, and even feels nice on sensitive areas like under the arms. I also think this little strip is the reason my legs feel so silky smooth after getting out of the shower.

So is it worth the investment. Yes , yes and yes. It comes with two blade heads, so really you get two razors for the price of $16.00. Plus I’ve seen this product on special for $12.00 so I think il wait to purchase this when its on special, but I definitely will be repurchasing it.

I have used this razor for at least a year now and it's here to stay. The serum strip lasts ages, and the blades stay sharp for the longest time. I use shaving gel when I shave and the combination just makes for the best shaving experience.

I loved this razor! The moister bar lasts for ages. Would definitely recommend & will be using again. Made shaving quick and easy and my skin didn't dry out after.

I brought this when it first came out and thought it sounded really good, I always use shaving cream for my legs and underarms so gliding the shaver over my skin felt ok, and the handle was easy to handle it didn't slip through my hands like other razors do. I like how it had a clean cut and there was no mess left behind. the price was pretty good too I still have one in my bath room cabnet but these days I shave with the Schick Hydro 5 as it is was better for my hairs and skin I will do review on that soon.
