The Razor’s Cutting Edge

Billed by its maker as a complete razor redesign, Schick Hydro razors are the most thoroughly tested, highest-rated products in the brand’s 88-year history. The razors, which come in 3- and 5-blade models, deliver such technological innovations as skin guards, innovative skin protectors that smooth out skin between blade tips; an advanced hydrating gel reservoir that lubricates throughout the shave process; a convenient flip trimmer on the Schick Hydro 5; and an ergonomic handle. To complement the new item, Schick has rolled out a line of Schick Hydro shave gels that, when used with the razor, deliver a complete skin comfort system that goes beyond hair removal to care for men’s skin, according to Schick-Wilkinson Sword, a division of St. Louis-based Energizer Holdings, Inc. The 3- and 5-blade models retail for a suggested $7.99 and $8.99, respectively, with a pack of four Schick Hydro razor refill blades going for a suggested $11.49 (Schick Hydro 5) and $7.99 (Schick Hydro 3). Schick Hydro shave gels are available in Moisturizing and Sensitive Skin varieties for a suggested $3.39 each. For additional information, visit www.schickhydro.com.
