Product Review – Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor

For years shaving has not been a picnic for me.  Razor burn and sensitive skin plagued me and the choices in great quality, affordable razors out there leave much to be desired.   When I had the opportunity to try the Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor  I was still somewhat skeptical that the razor was going to be any better than others that I’ve tried.  However, I was willing to test it out and I  have to say overall I’m pleased with the results.razor

Some of the features of the Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor are:

The Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor has five blades that are supposed provide a close smooth shave and there are skin guards to keep friction under control.   There is also a hydrating gel reservoir with aloe and vitamin E to soothe skin while you shave.   If you need to make a closer trim, there is a flip trimmer where you can expose all five of the blades easily, allowing you to trim in tight spaces.

So with great anticipation, I took out my new Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor and prepared for my morning shave.  I began to shave and noticed right away some slight tugging that caused a little discomfort.  As I continued to shave, this quickly dissipated.  I believe that the hydrating gel reservoir had not really been primed adequately but as I shaved and it began to soothe my skin properly the comfort level of shaving improved greatly.

The five blades did a great job of delivering a nice smooth, close shave with very little effort.   My experience was quick and efficient.   As I got ready to shave my chin area and neck line, I found that I did need to flip the flip trimmer up to expose the blades.  I had to do this because of the curvaceous area of my chin and the softer skin on my neck area to get as close as I needed.   I am concerned that my neck area may be a little irritated because I had to use the flip trimmer over time.

All in all, I enjoyed using the Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor on my sensitive skin.  I think they have a great product that will benefit men like me who experience razor burn and skin irritation when shaving.   I am going to continue to use the product and I would recommend this, even with the couple of minor concerns that I had.

Disclosure:   I received a product sample, coupon, collateral or other special premium from Schick for this honest product review.
