Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review

I'm pretty useless at shaving, always cutting myself or missing patches! So i was pretty excited to be selected for this trial.

After opening the packet I was instantly pleased that it had a casing for the head as in the past I have used similar razors that have lost their moisture strip far too quickly because they didn't have nay proper protection. The handle is nice and big as well so great for clumsy shavers like myself who are prone to slips!

The shaving experience itself was easy, safe and quick because the moisture strip means no need for shaving cream. The only concern I had was that it was hard to tell if I had missed a spot because the shea butter made my legs feel ridiculously silky.

Post- shave my legs feel nice and soft and super moisturised so definitely a good product and no cuts or scrapes thanks to the curve sensing blades!

I love that it is just one step and you have smooth legs, no messing around with body wash or shaving cream, just wet the blades and you're good to go!

This razor was the best one i have used for months. It was so smooth and easy to use. My legs felt silky smooth straight after. I noticed it was also a bit longer before i needed to shave again.

this is my favourite razor, i love how my legs feel afterwards,so silky smooth! and i find i dont have to shave everyday when using this razor either,which is great! love it! love the fact that i dont have to use shaving gel/cream aswell! awesome product

Love this! Makes my skin feel silky smooth and hydrated- I have very dry skin but after my shower and shaving my skin could actually get away with out moisturizer!

I have been a Gillette girl through and through, but after using the Schick Hydro Silk Razor over this weekend, I will never buy another Gillette again!! I am converted!! So easy to use, I didn't have to lather up my legs, I didn't nick my legs, I didn't have to fluff around with the flow of water to stop the shower rising of my shaving cream before I'd finished shaving. it was just awesome! and my legs felt so smooth, and it was so easy to find if I'd missed a spot, to go back and fix it. And such and easy shaped handle too! not chunky and awkward to hold. I've already recommended this to a friend at work and she text me to say she had brought one and used it and was in love as well!! so glad i got to review this product!!

I was hanging out for this to arrive in the post - I had some super hairy legs! Hehe. The package was really easy to open and the shaver worked very well! I didn't get any cuts at all and the hair came off easily leaving me with lovely smooth, soft legs. The one thing I really love about this shaver is the little travel case it comes it! Keeps it covered and safe.

Love this razor! I was using a Schick Silk Effects for the last 10 or so years being too scared to try anything else incase I didn't like it. This one is much better! such a close smooth shave. Would recommend to all.

Honestly i'm the type of person who always thought any razor will do. Well until now that is. Using this razor left my skin so silky smooth after. With my sensitive skin, didn't even irritate it. The packaging is super cute and I really love how it comes with a travel cover. Awesome idea so the blades don't go blunt, with everything else banging into it in your beauty bag. This is deff a winner all around! Xx.

I'm usually very picky when it comes to choosing a razor - so picky in fact I usually just opt for my man's as I know its sharp and does the trick! I haven't purchased a razor in a very long time..so I jumped at the chance to try this new razor from Schick.

So, before testing it out, I made sure my leg hairs had grown a little bit more than usual (hehe), really wanted to test this baby out!

First impressions //

So smooth against my skin. I choose not to use soap whilst shaving my legs as the razor has the water activated moisturising serum (which I know isn't a substitute, but I thought I would give it a go) and it worked like magic. Smooth, no roughness or dry feelings either! So that's a bonus as dealing with one less thing whilst shaving is a plus! I imagine using the razor with soap would be extra easy too! One area I really cringe with are the knees! Bumpy and really tricky to shave, I found it super easy. The razor pretty much glided over and no nicks too. This is a big thing for me. I usually come out with hairy, patchy knees :) I didn't have to shave over the same patch more than twice either, the 5 blades make it super quick. I still had to rinse the blades every few shaves though, as I'm sure is the case with most and the extra growth with the hairs wasn't a problem either!

I also used the razor for under my arms - again really quick and easy, I did find it a little bit irritating after putting on my deo. I'm not sure if this is just a once off or due to new blades or just me having sensitive skin.

Before applying moisturiser i felt my legs were really silky smooth, without exaggerating - probably the smoothest they have ever felt!

A few little nit-picks //

Packaging, this is me giving an overall opinion, but the plastic case covering the head of the razor is slightly unnecessary. It's rather bulky and all you really need is a small plastic cap covering the blades. It would also save on plastic and package waste.

Overall thoughts //

Would I use it again? Yeah, for sure!

Did it do what it said it would do? It did indeed. The blade followed the natural curves, bumps and scars that I have with ease, no nicks over knees is a winner and it left me with legs feeling like silk! Who doesn't want silky feeling skin? No irritation after shaving my legs, but after shaving my armpits, there was a slight rash and irritation. But like I said, this could have been the deo. on freshly shaved skin.

Would I recommend this razor to a friend? Yup - definitely! Ticked all the boxes for me with what I look for in a razor. Quick, no fuss and leaves me with super smooth legs.
