Wet or dry, this handle is not slipping out of your hands.īut move up to the head of the handle and you can see that there is something unique about this razor. The weight is decent and the grip - despite not being covered in deep treads - is very good. A mix of chrome-colored metal, overlaid with generous rubber grip (the entire underside is completely covered in rubber), it looks like an average razor. Take a look at the handle of the Hydro 5 Sense and you might not notice anything too different, until you get to the top of it.įor the most part the handle looks fairly generic. The Hydro 5 Sense has a lot of engineering that goes into both the handle and the cartridge, making it one of the most unique razors we reviewed. For our test, we selected the Hydro 5 Sense “Energize” which comes with lubrication with menthol supposed to “wake up tired-looking skin.” Razor Design Inside the package came the handle, as well as two Hydro 5 cartridges. That means all the packaging is recyclable and easy to open. We bought our test razor on Amazon, where it came in retail packaging, including a cardboard box with plastic casing. But while the Schick Hydro 5 does provide a good shave, some of the features actually took away from the experience for us. It’s all designed to give you a better shave. Like other razors that we consider to be in its class (including Gillette’s Fusion5 ProGlide) there are a ton of features and technology packed into a small package. This double action provides more movement compared to what you’ll find in other razors, all designed to give you a closer shave that takes better care around the curves of your face. What makes the Hydro 5 difference is that the handle also has a pivoting point (Schick calls it “Shock Absorb Technology”). But the most unique feature is the pivoting handle.Īll refillable razors will have a head that pivots back and forth.
