Schick Hydro Silk Razor

Do you want silky smooth legs?! Then continue reading this review of the Schick Hydro Silk Razor! Each of the cartridges are filled with moisturizer serum that is activated when placed under water. It also contains Shea butter and is suppose to hydrate your legs longer than any other razor! The razor contains 5 blades which moves independently to help keep your skin soft! This is to help protect the skin from irritation because with 5 blades, it allows you to have fewer strokes. The "neck" part moves with your leg. Meaning it gets to those hard to reach areas like your knee. The last part, have you ever placed your razor under the water and then it slips through your hands? Well, the Schick razor has a rubber grip that allows you to keep hold of it better! Oh but wait, the starter kit also came with a suction to place it on your bathroom walls to store the razor!

I have decided to compare the Schick Hydro Silk Razor to the Original Venus Razor in which I have used many times.

The Venus Razor as 3 blades and it also has a rubber grip to keep it from slipping out of your hands. It has a blue line that will disappear when the serum has dissipated. It has a pivoting head for close shave around and on the knee. It too has a shower holder but it is much bulkier than the Schick Hydro Silk suction holder.

I have used this razor for years. The blue strip disappears quite fast, leaving bumps on my legs constantly. The Venus has 3 blades, whereas the Schick has 5 blades. The Venus gets a close shave, but it does not get close enough like the Schick. My skin feels silky soft after using both razors, but the Shea butter on the Schick makes my legs feel softer for a longer period of time. Both have a rubber grip, but the Schick has a thicker rubber grip that allows you to grip it more comfortably. They both have pivoting heads, but the Schick pivots father back to really get that close shave. As far as the shower holder, the one that came with the Venus was much bulkier and kept falling from my shower wall. I kept bumping it because it wasn't compact like the Schick razor. 

Now the only thing that I noticed is that shaving without shaving cream, both razors left my skin with bumps, or razor burn. BUT, the Venus left bumps on my legs even with shaving cream, whereas with the Schick, my legs were very soft.

Here you can see how smooth looking my leg is. This is using shaving cream with the Schick Hydro Silk Razor.

Here, you can see slight bumps and irritation from using just the razor. (But, it still has slight smoothness to it, I just do not like how it left bumps)

So, I would make the change to the Schick Hydro Silk Razor, your legs will thank you!
