Review: Schick Hydro Silk Razor

The cold winter months usually mean hairy legs hidden by long pants. Since starting roller derby I've discovered I can't get away with wild forest legs. Not only because stockings don't hide the hair but also because I'm scared I'll jinx myself and injure myself while having hairy legs. Not that I'm vain or anything...

My old razor isn't as old as it feels. It's lost it's edge and changing the blades isn't cutting it anymore. It was time for a new razor so I jumped at the chance to review the Schick Hydro Silk razor.

Shav'her box. Yep, I went there.

I was sceptical as I am with every new razor I try. Will it cut enough, too much or perfectly? Will it be so sharp that I'll cut my legs to pieces? I didn't need to worry at all, this is by far the best razor I've ever used. My 'socks' (the hair around my calves is course and black whereas the rest is fine and blonde) are still quite smooth three days later. Usually the next day my 'socks' are visibly noticeable.

The blades give a close cut but not close enough to cut the skin. Every girl knows how painful a shaving cut feels and the blood, so much blood! The moisturising serum around the blades help reduce the dry feeling that can come from shaving. My legs were smooth like silk all day, quite different from the usual dry scaly legs. It's such a lovely feeling putting long pants on after a good leg shave.

Would I recommend the Schick Hydro Silk razor? Definitely. I'll be stocking up on new blades next time we do the groceries, I love it so much.
