![]() Hydrating Gel Reservoir soothes with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. View larger. | ||||
| ||||
While most razors have conditioning strips made from a combination of conditioners and plastic, the Hydro 5 features a deep reservoir full of 100% pure conditioner that lasts up to two times longer. The Hydrating Gel Reservoir releases water-activated Aloe- and Vitamin E-enriched lubrication that forms into a gel as you shave for effortless glide and hydration.
Flip Trimmer and Ergonomic Handle
Activate the Hydro 5's Flip Trimmer feature for more precise trimming of hard-to-reach places. With a simple flick of your thumb, you can flip back the Hydrating Gel Reservoir so that all five blades touch the skin, as opposed to the single edging blade on most razors. In addition, the Hydro 5's premium, high-gloss ergonomic handle rests naturally in your hand for a comfortable shaving experience.
The Schick Hydro 5 Blade Razor is designed to work with Schick Hydro Sensitive Shave Gel and Schick Hydro Moisturizing Shave Gel. And Schick Hydro 5 Blade Refill are also available.

The downside, obviously, has been the cost of replacement blades and of course that's how they get you. But $13+ for four replacement blades that don't really last very long? Ouch..... So today I was in Target to pick up said replacement blades when I saw the Schick Hydro 5. I have to admit I've NEVER been a Schick fan at all. I don't know what the difference in blades is (aside from number of blades) but shaving with a Schick always felt like trying to shave with a rusty butter knife. The Schick Quatro is a good example. I tried the Quatro in an effort to save money but knew after one shave it wasn't going to work out. The Hydro, however, is FAR superior to the Quatro and easily as good as the Gillette Fusion. Initially I thought the Hydro blade casing might be a little too bulky but that didn't turn out to be the case. It's a good looking razor, it works really well and best of all the replacement...Read more 26 of 31 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Schick Hydro 5 Blade Razor (Health and Beauty) I've tried the Schick Quattro and it's uncomfortable to use. I'd say it might be on part with the Gillette Mach3, but it definitely isn't as good as the Gillette Fusion. The Schick Hydro is a big step up. It has the comfort and utility of the Fusion (actually I think it might be more comfortable, but it's at least as good) and from what I can tell it also lasts longer. I can usually get a Fusion blade to last out to two weeks because I shave after showering, but at that point the lubrication strip is gone and the blades are pulling more than I'd like. The Hydro has been going strong for two weeks now and is still cutting smooth and the lubrication area keeps on working as well. I also like that the lubrication area pulls back so that you can use the full blade for trimming and getting up under the nose area. It's a little awkward to get that section pulled back, but I find once that is done that using the main blade for those tasks is better than using the little...Read more 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By 1Dub79 (Fairburn, Ga.) - See all my reviews This review is from: Schick Hydro 5 Blade Razor (Health and Beauty) Over the years, I got tired of using Soft Sheen Carson Magic Fragrant Shaving Powder. It gave a close shave, but I wanted a quicker and traditional shave. Well, I first bought the Gillette Fusion Manual Razor. It gave a pretty good shave. However, I felt the need to buy a razor, which was better for sensitive skin. This razor is good for that job. I like the skin guards on the blades. This helps reduce irritation by keeping the full blades away from the skin. The Vitamin E and aloe reservoir is a good combination, as well. The end result of shaving will leave the skin feeling smooth and oily. Despite what people say, the Flip Trimmer is not a gimmick. It actually works better than the than Precise Trimmer of the Fusion. While using the trimmer, the five blades really do their job. Another bonus is the razors are cheaper than the Fusion...Read more |
