SCHICK HYDRO RAZOR BLADES SKIN

For our test, we selected the Hydro 5 Sense “Energize” which comes with lubrication with menthol supposed to “wake up tired-looking skin.” Razor Design

Inside the package came the handle, as well as two Hydro 5 cartridges. That means all the packaging is recyclable and easy to open. We bought our test razor on Amazon, where it came in retail packaging, including a cardboard box with plastic casing. But while the Schick Hydro 5 does provide a good shave, some of the features actually took away from the experience for us. It’s all designed to give you a better shave. Like other razors that we consider to be in its class (including Gillette’s Fusion5 ProGlide) there are a ton of features and technology packed into a small package.

This double action provides more movement compared to what you’ll find in other razors, all designed to give you a closer shave that takes better care around the curves of your face. What makes the Hydro 5 difference is that the handle also has a pivoting point (Schick calls it “Shock Absorb Technology”). But the most unique feature is the pivoting handle.Īll refillable razors will have a head that pivots back and forth.
