Just picked up this Hydro 5 gizmo. I’m tired of paying $20 for a 4 cartridge refill of Mach 3. I just spent $17 on a brand new Hydro and 4 extra cartridges.
Also, my Arctic 1090x will be up for sale soon. My face just isn’t cut out for it. It miss a lot on my neck.
Been using Gilette razors for quite some time…i may give the shick a try…
I got a shick triple blade for free in a summit order awhile back, found it one day and decided to use that for my “other” shaved areas.
I also have a norelco electric razor that i use when in rush to work etc…but for some reason the electric razor gives me terrrrrrrible razor burn and the regular blades dont.
Also, i only use nivea shave gel and nivea soaps…sounds very feminine but they are incredible. leaves your face feeling smooth, no irriatation and the soaps leave you feeling verrrry clean and the scent isnt strong by any means but lasts quite awhile.
thanks for the info travis i will pick up a hydro 5 sometime soon
I know I will miss one thing from the Mach 3 though…the power function. I’ve used nothing but power tooth brushes or razors so when I use one that isn’t, it just feels weird.
This razor is legit, blows anything else that I have ever used out of the water. I especially like how you can fold the splooge strip away for when you’re trimming sideburns and longer hair.
I haven’t had a chance to test drive it on the back roads yet (if you know what I mean), but I can imagine it’d be just as good down there as well.
So I finally got a chance to use the new Shick. I like it. The 5 blades instead of 3 on the Mach are definitely nice and it’s way cheaper. I’m converted.
Just went to walmart. They have a hydro 5 gift pack for 9 bucks. Includes the hydro with 1 blade, 4 additional refills and 1 can of the Hydro Shave Cream. Puts my Mach 3 to shame.
