Schick Hydro 5
Frustrated
I can't wait until I need to buy a new shaver set.
shaving system I have a tree blade hydro and it is so frustrating. I cannot keep the blade attached to the handle. It falls off almost constantly. Even had to take the drain apart once because it went down the drain. It is comfortable to use when and only when shaving .. I cannot understand why there is such quality in the blades but the attachment to the handle is so cheaply designed.
Purchased at HEB.

Purchased in August 2022 at Chemist Warehouse for $20.

click-back feature too slack
My Hydro5 cuts me very easily as the click-back feature, that's supposed to be a manual operation for close trimming, actually clicks-back too easily / unintentionally while shaving, and so exposes the corner of the blade/s.
Cuts me to bits almost every time!!
Purchased in May 2022.

Features
- A 5-blade design is intended to provide a close, smooth shave.
- An ergonomically designed handle is larger and easier to grip where your palm makes contact with it.
- In place of a lubricating strip, this razor uses 7 little gel pools in a row above the blades. Schick claims that these provide more hydration and less friction.
- The built-in flip trimmer changes the angle of the blade with a flick of the thumb. This is designed to allow men the option to trim beard hair as well.
Here’s what reviewers thought:
Reviewers had mixed opinions about the effectiveness of this razor. Those who weren’t happy with this razor’s performance chalked it down mainly to the blades not being sharp enough to provide an effective shave.
Dissatisfied reviewers reported that they had to make several passes over skin in order to remove hair. Even after doing this, hairs were left behind. Others still reported that the blade falls off constantly from the handle, which is frustrating.
Reviewers who were satisfied with the Schick Hydro 5 appreciated that the blades provided a smooth-enough shave, when used with the right shaving cream.
