Schick Hydro Silk Razor

It seems like a new razor with one more blade or other 'upgrade' comes out every year. How much new technology can there really be in a razor??

One of the more recent 'new' razors is the Schick Hydro Silk Razor. The Hydro Silk touts a water-activated moisturizing serum and 5 curve-sensing blades with skin guards to help protect skin from irritation. So I already use a 5-blade razor with ribbons of moisture of another brand, so I decided to try it out, side-by-side, or rather, leg verses leg.

The results? Surprisingly, there was a bit of a difference. The Hydro Silk left me smother for about a day or so longer. So I guess it was that much closer?? Granted, my other razor had been used a couple of times, so it was 'old' in comparison this this fresh out of the package Schick. But still...

I think the key, overall, is the five blades. So yes, the Schick Hydro Silk works and is a great little razor. At the end of the day, though, I'll like just get what's on sale. Only because I'm not exactly one to always go with the latest and greatest in choosing brands.
