Product Review: Schick Hydro Silk Razor

As a BzzAgent, I get the opportunity to try new products on the market time to time in exchange for my honest feedback.  The latest product is Schick Hydro Silk Razor.  Previous to this razor I didn't have a goto holy grail razor.  After trying this razor, unfortunately I still don't.

Cartridge right out of the package

Receiving the package, the razor looked appealing.  It had a nice rubbery grip.  However that is the best thing about the razor.  The cartridge does have 5 blades which is a plus, but the cartridge has built in moisturizing serum. It sounds good in theory, but when wet it gets gooey and clogs the blades.  After the second or third use, since the blades get dull, it almost guarantees nicks.  Because the blades get dull so quickly I needs to replace the cartridges more often then I normally would.

The overall shave is ok, leaves you pretty smooth, but with the occasional nick.  The moisturizing serum is not moisturizing enough to use by itself, but feels a litle too slick when you use shaving cream/gel.  I do use shaving cream/gel when using the Schick Hydro Silk razor.  I do feel that growth seems to come back faster when using this razor.

After one week of use

I am glad I got to try out this razor through BzzAgent as I would have been disappointed paying money for this.  Has anyone else tried this razor?  What are your thoughts?
