Smooth: This razor is great. The blades are sharp and leave a smooth shave. I’ll say that I wasn’t a Schick buyer before I tried this product, but I’ll definitely get another one.
Great smooth shave with less irritation: This razor give a great smooth shave with less irritation. The only thing I hate is there is to much of slim when I shave but it help with the irritation. The first time I shave with the razor I got a little razor burn but on the next shave I got use to the gel and had no razor burn. I also like it has a Flip Trimmer to exposes all five blades and allowing me to easily address trimming in tight spaces. Over all it a great razor but you have to get used to the gel.

With its Ultra Glide blades with Skin Guards and water-activated skin conditioners, the Schick Hydro 5 keeps your skin hydrated and smooth with each shave. The razor’s Ultra Glide blades with Skin Guards provide more points of contact on the skin, creating a flatter, smoother surface to shave, resulting in a comfortable shave with less irritation.

Finally something better than Fusion! I’ve been a Gillette guy for years and figured Fusion was as good as it was gonna get. 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…
Better than Fusion 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…
