Schick Razors: Hydro 5 Blade Razor $4, Hydro 5 Power Select Razor $5, Quattro Titanium Trimmer $8, Hydro 3 Blade Razor $5 & More

the hydro 5 is probably my favorite since it's very good at what it does. its really weird though. when it comes in contact with your face it secretes a goopy lubricant. its really effective, but feels really really weird.

Going to get the Hydro 3. No need for the 5 on my sensitive face

Quote from douglasr007 : What's the appeal with the razors that are battery powered? I never got that.

On Schick Quattro there is a trimmer on one side and blades on the other. You pop a battery in and you can trim longer hair before putting blades to it.
Anyway I just got this one:

With coupon and subscription: $15.17. Not bad for 8 pack refill.

Quote from isbn1975 : Personally, I like Hydro 5 than any other Gillette series. I started using Hydro 5 last year when drugstore.com gave them out as free samples and they are the best. I was using Gillette series for the last 20 years, but I switched right away. At $4, I think it's worth a try.

The Hydro 5 was pretty good. I ran out of Fusion cartridges and used the Hydro 5 until my blade + spare ran out. Then the Fusion Proglide came out and I swore by that one.

To make sure I ran a full test running the Fusion Proglide, my last Fusion blade, and a Hydro 5. I say the Proglide beat out everything with the Hydro 5 right behind it.

This was what... 2 years ago?

Then I started dating this girl and I was debating what to leave behind at her place. I first brought a Quattro, as I have like 20 free razors, but it never worked quite well. I said screw that and brought my Hydro 5 (they started giving out free ones on the street one day). Better, but I was still never satisfied. I preferred shaving at home.

Finally I took my old Fusion and swapped in a fresh Proglide blade and... wow. Never looked back. I shave with that at her place and my own Proglide at home, and it's perfect.

That said the Hydro 5 isn't bad. It just isn't as good All other blades are horrible though. The Quattro and the old Fusion are just meh. The Mach 3 is pretty irritating compared to all the new blades although it did cut well.

Almost the same story this end . But I never liked Schick and will never buy one again unless its a sample

I still think the 14 pack of Mach 3 disposables at Costco are the best deal when they're on sale. They go on sale for like $19.xx once in a while and the disposable ones use the german made razor blades (should say Made in Germany on the package). Cheaper than almost all cartridges and I like the Mach 3 since it's easier to rinse the hairs out between the blades vs razors with more blades-I have relatively thick hair and I don't always shave daily so the 5 blades get ridiculously clogged up.

My local Fred Meyer (Kroger) ran a deal on the Hydro3 and 5 razor and refills last year that was too good to pass up at $4.99 for a 4 pack+2 bonus so total of 6 pack plus there was a $4.00 off coupon so we got 6 packs for $1.00 so the girlfriend and I bought like 100 of the 6 packs of the refills and about 10 razors and have both been using them since. We did get a few hydro 5s too for $2.00 but I prefer the hydro3 better. They are great razors give it a try and check out Fred Meyer and Kroger as they always run deals on these when manufacturer coupons are going on and Walgreens too.

Thanks...in for 1!

one per order,

Need to find a Slick Deal on Schick Quattro Titanium blades.

i definitely prefer the Mach 3 to the Hydro 5 for my face (the blades on the latter are too close, leading to clogs and a less close shave), but my wife swears by the Hyrdo for her legs.

I have been a gillette user as well, but for the price I will try these. Thanks.

can i use these hydro's on a quatro razor? or do i need the vibrating razor?
thanks

Quote from roborazer : the Hydro 3 is the best cartridge razor I have ever used. The blades also last a lot longer. forget 4, 5 blades those are just gimmicks.

Hydro 3 is definitely not as comfortable on the skin as the Hydro 5...too much pulling a tugging on the hair.

I think the Hydro 5 is a pretty good razor. Not a closer shave as you would get from a proglide, but the gel lining on the blade lasts forever! I've been using mine for almost 4-5 months from the sample I got from drugstore. Its on it's last shaves but so far the performance is like a champ. Still have small gel lining so dry shaving is not a problem. I have plenty of proglide cartridges though, so I'll stick to those once it dies out.
