Schick Hydro Silk Razor Review

I have often had problems with shaving rash and getting really irritated, itchy legs after shaving, even when following all the directions of how you're supposed to do it. This razor has been the best one I have found to help stop that.

It glides smoothly along the skin, providing a smooth shave meaning you don't need to go over the area again which is a major cause of skin irritation. The hydrating bars are also really helpful in giving back moisture to the skin and leaving legs feeling silky smooth.

The razor is also really well designed with the handle being easy to grip and move along the skin and the head well oriented to get into hard to reach places such as around the knees.

This razor is slightly more expensive than your bog standard supermarket cheap ones, but I feel it is worth it for the quality shave it gives and the decent length of time it lasts before needing to be replaced.

I was quite excited to try this because of the moisturising serum strip, but its not for me. I found it super slimy and it skids all over the skin while shaving which equals nicks and cuts! I found the serum prevented me from getting a close shave. My skin was quite bumpy and a wee bit irritated after using. I wont be using it again. I found the Schick disposable razors better than this!

I have used a few of these before and they work great for the first few shaves. But if you are like me and leave your razor in the shower this particular razor's moisture tip gets very sticky since its water activated. Its like a gel that comes out. It can be a little too much when I am shaving my legs as well, it gets very sticky and I don't know whether I am actually shaving any hair or its just a thick layer of the gel stuff coming out. But it does leave your skin feeling smooth and no irritation.

I recently ordered some shoes online from Wild Pair. When I received the box, one of these Schick Razors was inside. I am guessing I missed something in regards to a promotional razor...but either way, I was pleasantly surprised. I was so eager to try this and conveniently needed to shave that night so it was perfect timing! From having used Venus razors always, I was easily able to tell the differences between the brands. I did enjoy the handle on this one due to the deep grooves and the fact that it was fatter, meaning more grip. In terms of the razor, it had a nice covering of moisture around the blades, but from memory with previous blades, this moisture layer never lasts the full time the blade does. It was sharp enough but no sharper than any other I have tried and my regrowth was no quicker or slower either. I would re-purchase now I have the unit (making it cheaper) but I cant say if I necessarily prefer this to my Venus. Only time will tell!

This is what i buy and use regularly. The blades last well and give a close smoth cut without feeling like i'm going to slice my knee or ankle. Generally i have no issues with shaving rash and think its a great razor to have in the shower waiting for when needed.

I have used these in the past and loved them! They give such an easy smooth shave, are non irritating and the blades stay sharp for ages. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

Really liked the way it felt in my hand with the nice handle it has. The razor didn't clump up with hair and did a great job. The head was also well designed for shaving under arms and legs etc.

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!
