Summer is upon us, and what better way to celebrate the onset of warmer weather than smooth, silky soft skin? It's time for shorts, minis, and bikinis, and yes, the razor is a woman's best friend. Schick introduces Hydro Silk™ Razor, and Schick claims that it hydrates longer than any other razor, leaving skin silky smooth. It has a water-activated serum that moisturizes skin throughout each shave and for up to 2 hours after shaving. It also helps the razor to glide comfortably on the skin with each stroke.
A new feature for this razor is the Curve-Sensing Blades; they are individually supported blades that can move independently from each other to allow the razor to safely and effectively maneuver over knees & ankles. To compare, neither the Schick® Quattro for Women®, nor the Schick® Intuition® Razor have individually supported blades. This is good news for women who are razor nick-prone, like me. There are also Skin Guards that are attached to each of the 5 Curve-Sensing blades along the cutting edges. They are thin strips of material which work to smooth skin flow as you shave and help you get a close and comfortable shave with less irritation.
It seems like each and every concern of a woman with regard to shaving has been addressed and covered! When I tried it, the one thing I noticed was that it really had a very smooth, very efficient and yet comfortable glide on the skin. I've been using this for a few weeks and I have not experienced one nick. The Silk Guards do protect sensitive skin and yet allows a close yet smooth and comfortable glide of the razor on the skin. I also like the fact that after shaving, my legs don't feel itchy like they're dying of thirst and need lotion right away. This razor does not give me that uncomfortable itchy feeling that only a thick slather of lotion can relieve. I guess it's true that this product does hydrate longer than most razors.
For the best results, shave in the shower. To activate the Moisturizing Serum, place the Schick® Hydro SilkTM Razor cartridge under running water for a few seconds. According to Schick, how long the Water-Activate Moisturizing Serum lasts varies depending on each woman’s shaving habits and usage, as well as environmental factors in the location where the shaving occurs, i.e. bathroom, shower, etc. In recent external consumer testing, respondents stated that the Water-Activated Serum lasted for an average of 11 shaves.
My only gripe is that the suction cup of the shower hanger does not work on my bathroom walls; it always falls down, detaching the cartridge from the body of the razor.
All in all, I can say that the Schick® Hydro Silk™ is better than the past Schick razors I've tried, along with other feminine razors. This also properly hydrates my skin better than the men's razors I also use.
