Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review

Just bought one last week to try out as I usually purchase Schick anyway and was recommended to try this product by a friend. To be honest it was average. Used it for the first time it was great, but silly me left it in the shower and only realised after not to :/ The heat and water even if just kept in the shower causes the soap strip thingys to swell up and expand and I learnt the hard way it leaves a stringy mess in the shower. :( The type of strip thingys also don't seem like they would last long so think I've only got a few more uses out of it with regular soap. Hoping with the second refill and keeping under the sink it will last longer! Bit annoying though that it can't be left in the shower but guess thats the downside of soap bar razors. Gives a nice close shave though :)

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 normally go for schick because their priced affordably. I was lucky to recieve a free sample from them earlier in the year. I would normally get them in my grocery shopping or when I go shopping at The Warehouse. Love going there because they have 25 to 30 percent off sales from time to time.

These shavers come in a packet. Inside is at least four shavers that can normally last me for just a little over a month with reuse. The Shaver itself has a smooth shaped head that easily glides along my skin. The handle of this shaver has good grip and is quite sturdy. With use of this shaver my legs felt so smooth. I didn't cut myself like I normally would with cheap shavers. I like to use these with Shick Shaving cream which gives my legs an extra feeling of hydration. I tried shaving without cream and my legs still felt smooth. Now it's claims for Hydration, my legs did feel smooth for about an hour and then they got dry.

My results were smooth and silky feeling legs. Definately felt smooth even without the use of shaving cream. Would definately buy them again because they get the job done at an affordable price.

is amazing, I can achieve super smooth and nick/cut, shaving rash free, with just this and a little body wash lathered up. I have extremely sensitive skin yet i get no shaving rash at all. while it's quite expensive in my eyes it's saved. ime money on buying a separate shaving gel. the five blades just glide over the skin. if looked after the blades last a long time before needing to be replaced. has a easy to grip hand to prevent slipping. great for either the bath or shower, very happy with the product

I won one of these off Schick's Facebook page ages ago. I like the design of the razor, nice handle and colour. However, in regards to the serum - didn't really live up to my expectations. I found that the serum only lasted for a few shaves and it seemed to go gooey or come off in chunks (really weird).

However, when the serum was working well it gave a nice shave; no cuts or dryness. I still moisturised after as I felt the serum was only good when shaving - it didn't really do anything to moisturise. Overall, not bad but it didn't fully live up to my expectations.

I have found using this razor reasonably good and it had done the majority of what it has stated to do. The travel case has been really beneficial with it actually working unlike some other brands which means you wouldn't need multiple razors. The only downfall is the moisturizing serum runs out very quickly

This razor is easy and comfortable to use. It gives a close shave without irritation. I do like the hydrating bars which are meant to give moisture back to the skin. Still need to lather up before use though of course. Do wish it came with a holder like other shavers do to attach to the shower wall, but that's not a biggy.

I got this razor free and I was so excited as I've been wanting to try it out for awhile! The first week of using this it was great! It got close and took all of the hairs with it, only days laters the soap strips started swell up, this meant the razor could not get close enough to shave and I gave up on it 8 days in. This was not left in a wet place also so not sure on why it did this :(

Had a great experience with no nicks and what have you but it's so slimy. You can't get the little hairs out when cleaning to save ya life cos it's stuck in the goo. It does work great tho. The curves mould into those areas that are normally harder to reach and it's an overall close shave

I usually tend to use mens razors as I find they stay sharper for longer and give a closer shave. This razor might have changed my opinion on both counts.

I have found the razor easy to use and (thankfully) haven't cut myself with it or had a rash yet, so those skingaurds (whatever they are) must work a treat!

I also really like that this system has 5 blades in the razor, as most I have used before only have 3. I do think it gives a closer shave and as a result I have had to shave less frequently. I mean who doesn't love getting an extra day until the next time they have to shave!

The only reason I gave it a three star for "what it said it would do" is the weird serum around the blades. I found this to only last the first few shaves as it sort of oozed out even after I had finished shaving. It kind of went solid and then stuck out from the razor making subsequent shaves not as close. Other than that I can't fault it!
