I really like the Hydro Silk Razor and although I've had mine for ages, I've just gone back to using it after quite a few months of using another brand - I'm now wondering why I ever stopped using it! I think the main thing that stands out the most to me is the fact that this razor gives such a closer shave than any other brands I've used. I have to say the fact that this is the feminine version of male one with 5 blades had my attention straight away when I first found it in the supermarket - I know my husbands is good so surely the feminine version has to be as well was my first thought.
The blades on this razor last a considerable amount of time which makes it good value for money, although I think all razors are ridiculously priced!! I do find after using it a few times the moisturising bar eventually runs out and this happens long before the blade is blunt. It almost goes through a set pattern of it working really well for a few shaves, then it becomes a slimy mess for a few shaves and then suddenly it is all gone. This doesn't bug me too much but it just means I need to remember to use body wash once the moisturising bar is finished. It definitely shaves a lot smoother and has better results at the start of using a cartridge.
The Hydro silk has a great handle which fits my hand comfortably and means for easier shaving. I also like the way the head moves slightly - "curve sensing" - meaning awkward spots are made easier and no cutting yourself! In fact I don't think I have ever managed to cut myself with this razor which is quite a miracle - normally I am always cutting by my ankles or knees! On the whole, a great razor which suits me perfectly and I would recommend to others :)
I have been using this razor for probrably a couple of years now and it is the best I have found. It leaves my skin feeling moiturised with the built in moisture strips and the blades are great at removing all hair easily, leavin my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. The refill packs are quite expensive compared to some razors, but there are five in a pack and they do last for quite a long time. The only downfall is that occasionally the moisture strip (which is built into the razor head), will sometimes bleed out when left sitting in the shower, so that the next time you go to use it, there is just plastic scraping your skin. Other than that minor and occasional issue, this razor is the one I still use today and I love it.
