Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review

I love this razor to bits, I had the Hydro 5 for a while and loved the close shave it gave me so I decided to go for the ladies version this time. My razor came with a travel case which you put over the top of the head to protect the blades etc from getting damaged and caught it other things. I use this at home as it allows me to lay my razor down in my drawer without the moisturising serum getting everything sticky and allows the blades to dry completely. I love the idea of having a serum on the razor so that you do not need to use a soap/shaving gel but I felt like this was lacking some potential as when I went to use it, I ended up with a bit of shaving rash due to the friction, the serum didn't come out as well as it should have. Other times the serum has worked how it is suppose to so maybe it was my fault that I didn't run it under the water enough prior to using it. Other than that, it is amazing for getting super close and if the serum works like it is supposed to, you get amazing silky legs.

Was given one of these to trial and i love it, i actually find my legs a smoother for longer when using this razor compared to other brands i have used. The handle is easy to hold to help avoid those awkward positions to be sure you don't miss any spots. I did find that if i left it in the shower it didn't have time to dry up and all the moisture product would disappear real quick. As our bathroom is used quite often..

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.

This is a great razor works well leaves skin soft silky and it generally great to use stays sharp a little longer then the rest

Personally I love this razor and I would definitely use it a million times over!! I recommend it to everyone who loves smooth and shiny legs :-)

I was skeptical at first, but tried these out withough soap or any shaving cream. Great result! Easy to use, the handle was easy to hold onto, the moisture strips were wonderful & the blades, sharp & effective. My legs were left feeling smooth & moisturised, I didnt have to put more moisturiser on them. Blades have lasted at least 5 weeks so far (with shaving approx twice a week) & i've already bought the replacement blades. Also will fit into my previous razor holder - yah!

I have used many other razors before, from cheaper disposables, to electric shavers, and have found that the re-placeable blade razors are the most cost effective. This particular razor is very reasonably priced against other brands out there. I did find that the moisture serum ran out much quicker than the blade itself went blunt, so if you are replace heads as soon as the serum has gone, you will be spending a lot more on blades.

I like the look and feel of this razor when you hold it. The blades are easy to remove and replace and come in individually sealed packs.

This razor gives a very close shave, and the moisture serum makes it glide across your skin. The blades are laid very flat meaning you get that close shave without being able to easily cut yourself.

Overall this is one of the better razors I have used and would recommend it to others.

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 actually love this product, the design and shape of this razor is easy to grip and hold. I used a shaving foam wth this and it left my legs smooth for about 4-5 days before prickles began to appear. I love how the moisturising bar allows my legs to stay silky soft and it means I don't need to apply moisturiser if I am in a hurry. I really like this razor as its affordable and can be purchased from any supermarket and the blades last longer compared to cheaper disposals. Highly recommended to all.
