Schick Hydro 5 provides a safe, high-quality and easy shave. Modern and reliable razors, as well as blades with a multilayer coating are made only of high-quality materials, allowing you to get maximum pleasure in the process of shaving. To prevent rust, chrome is applied, and a material called alpha diamond is used for a long time to maintain the sharpness of the blade.
Distinctive features
Schick Hydro 5 differs from other analogues in its special solderings on the blades, thanks to which glide as soft as possible, minimizing the risk of irritation. The applied gel with a softening effect is activated as soon as water enters the razor. The Schick Hydro 5 razor has five blades and one trimmer. Conveniently, the German manufacturer took care of the interchangeability of the two released lines: 3 Hydro series and a new one.
A strip on a machine with a moisturizing gel helps to replenish the moisture level of the skin of the face with every shave, reduces friction. According to the results of numerous tests, it was found that the Shick Hydro strip serves in its functional purpose 2 times longer than a conventional razor with a similar gel.
The razor blades called Ultra Glide have a unique coating of a combination of materials that make shaving much easier and maintain their initial sharp state for a rather long time. All five blades are close to each other, special soldering will help get rid of frequent damage to the skin of the face. The manufacturer guarantees thorough shaving.
Appearance and Flip Trimmer
With a simple movement called “flip”, with one finger the strip in the Shick Hydro 5 leans back to release all the blades for high-quality shaving in the most inaccessible places. It can be:
- sections of the neck;
- nose;
- creating the shape of a beard or mustache;
- correction of whiskers.
The machine is ergonomic, which allows you to conveniently hold it in your hand. The appearance of the Schick Hydro 5 is strict and at the same time stylish. The colors and flowing shape are in hi-tech style. The manufacturer skillfully picked up a universal color gamut: shades of metallic gray, navy blue, lime (insert and power button). The weight of the razor is properly balanced. Many users note a higher ergonomics compared to the main competitor in the market - Gillette.
Razor at work
The Shick Hydro 5 razor impresses with a unique work system called Skin Guards. This innovation implies the location of a metal insert over each of the 5 blades, which performs its main function - limiting the fit of the cutting edges. This is not just a way to stand out among competitors - irritation really decreases (according to the results of practical tests among thousands of men).
The only drawback that users note is a small barrier to tight contact with the skin. Therefore, competitor Gillette ProGlide's net shave performance is slightly higher. The ideal result is achieved after 2 approaches. The rest of the Schick Hydro 5 wins in all respects.
The approximate service life of one set of blades (supplied cartridge) is 30 days. It is quite easy to change the moisturizing strip to the trimmer: it is enough to simply fold up the upper part with gel filler.
Schick Hydro 5: Power Select Model
The razor has an advanced modification called the Schick Hydro 5 Power Select. This is the same quality machine with vibration function. The standard kit includes one replaceable cartridge and a “little” battery, from which this device is powered.
Power Select has earned worldwide recognition for its innovative technology, high ergonomics, safety during the shaving process, ease of use and modern design to create a razor. This model was originally intended for the Korean consumer, therefore, the packaging contains the corresponding inscriptions. The vibration mode includes 4 positions:
- extra strong;
- standard;
- weak;
- off.
Schick Hydro 5 Power is an effective shaving device. The strong vibration mode is so powerful that when it is horizontal, that is, lying on the table, the machine can fall from the surface. Despite the strong attachment of the razor blades, the cartridge is very mobile, which contributes to high-quality gliding on the skin. The head, filled with gel, easily throws to the side, thereby freeing sharp blades. Men note imperceptible shaving: without cuts, damage and hair not removed from the first try.
Cost-effective packaging with interchangeable blades
For convenience and cost savings, Shick Hydro can be purchased in convenient packaging with 4 additional cartridges and one already inserted in the razor. According to millions of consumers, this is one of the best shaving products in its price segment (in terms of functionality and durability).
