I love the hydro 5, Lasts forever when compared to the 3 blades. And i like the precision trimmer. What i noticed that the 5 blade will outlast the 3. Also 5 blade never nicks.
Great video, Tony! I like the Hydro 3 a lot, more than the Mach 3. I especially like the Hydro 3 because it a comfortable razor with no bells and whistles. I always used carts, so I have never done a second pass, only minor touch ups. Glad your experiences with Schick validate mine. All the best.
Awesome video brother, I did a similar comparison video with the Schick Hydro 3 and Hydro 5. The handle is what made the difference for me. That extra pivot balance brah... Love Schick
What’s the best 5 blade cartridge razor on the market? I’ve tried them all and to me the Gillette Proglide/Proshield always just feels better than everything else. I don’t have a bias towards it, in fact I want to like something else. I’ve tried Harry’s/DSC/Schick all of the main ones, and they all shave well enough and have things I like and dislike about each, but as soon as I use a proglide/proshield it’s just like they’re playing 2 different games. I don’t believe in razors causing bumps, I believe it’s the shavers responsibility, if you’re using a modern razor you shouldn’t have any trouble with irritation, I have very sensitive skin and I have never had an issue shaving because I’m meticulous and know what I’m doing.
For sh*ts and giggles is always a good choice! I’ve really been enjoying the Hydro Skin line and that’s coming from a guy who really dislikes cart razors and mainly shaves with single edge razors almost every other day. I moved away from carts years ago due too the tugging, irritation, and ingrown hairs they cause. These ones and the stubble buster actually don’t for my face.
@@bpgomez1 It all depends on how thick your facial hair is and how you care for the razor after the shave. Blades dull faster if you just rinse it and put it away. One cart will last me about ten or so shaves (two to the pass shave). No it won’t get you as close as a safety razor which I use more than cartridge razors.
@Johnny-Five ok. I clicked on the shaver on your video & the sensitive hydro came up. Was wondering if that's the one you used & if being a sensitive razor if that means you don't get a close shave. I shave every day.
Schick is finally getting it. I have NEVER been able to use Schick blades but got a Hydro 5 free and gave it a shot. Beautifully designed..Each blade has a skin guard and not only does the cartridge pivot, but the razor head pivots also which really makes it hard to apply pressure so it forces the blades to do the work. Lock the razor head to use the precision trimmer. Unlock the head for general shaving of face/head…Can’t believe not only am I able to use a Schick cartridge, but I can go against the grain with this thing. This was an ABSOLUTE no-no with past razors by Schick.
As far as the quality of the shave, really haven't seen much difference as the blade quality is about the same and they are the same razor. I do like that the 5 features the flip up on the top which makes it easier to shave around long hair as I keep a beard. Both the 3 and 5 contain the lube strip which certainly improves the shave
Hey man cool video 👍👍 don't you think this Schick hydro 3 blades seems like the perfect contender for the mach 3?? Really nice features with no gimmicks at all and very comparable pricetags.. I believe Schick is positioning this as a competitor to the mach 3, 10$ for the handle + 4 cartridge, also 10$ for 5 cartridges pack.. better prices than mach 3... Sounds like a deal to me. Would be nice to see a video comparison of those two razors 👍👍
@@averageguytested thanks. I won't try it since I didn't like the new Hydro 5 Sense. The older version was tons better in durability and sharpness. For right now I m happy with Harry's. Also, I bought the Bulldog razor based on your review. I tried the bulldog's on one side and the other with Harry's. No difference was noticed. Both are excellent, except that the Bulldog's trimmer was much better than that of the Harry's. Thanks again
@@averageguytested Thanx, i appreciate it. Please Let me know does it hinder pivot movement or anything that interfere with its function 3 blade on 5 handle and 5 blade on 3.
@@averageguytested They're like Schick hydro 5 cartridge Razor they're basically The same thing plus you can take off the cartridge refills and put The Schick hydro stubble eraser refills I know because I have both disposable razors and cartridge Razor handle
The Hydro 5 Sense is my favorite cartridge razor by far for my head and face, so, I’ll definitely have to check this one out 😊
It’s a smooth shave.
Great video, you're like the Bob Ross of shaving, it's almost meditative to see how chill you are when you're shaving and talking!🙏
Thank you!! I appreciate your kind words 👋🏽

Good move. 👋🏽 thanks for watching 🪒
I like how they have the precision trimmer set up on this. I’ll have to be on the lookout for it! Great review as always!

So does the 5 blade Hydro 5 gives you a real close shave? How long do each cartridge lasts?

Thank you very much. Do you think that the “shock absorber” of the Hydro 5 is a game changer? Greetings from Spain.
I really like the Schick Hydro series. Thanks for watching 👋🏽

Awesome to hear! I’ll have to check it out!
Hydro 5 skin and dry available in india which is better value for money Tony sir.
I believe they are essentially the same, the older branding may be less expensive
Got it for my brother. He likes it.
You’re a good brother!
Was it the Schick Hydro Sensitive Razor 5 blade razor that you used to demostrate?
Yes - the 5 blade one.
Do you know what the little switch that goes up and down on the bottom near the top of the shick hydro 5 blade?
Yes, if locks the head if you don’t like the double pivot. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
That’s very interesting man, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

You must spend a fortune buying all this shave stuff. Where do you store it all? I imagine it’s an impressive collection
It’s all over the house. Yes - I’ve dropped a few dollars on this endeavor 👍🏽
I guess Schick hydro 5 sensitive razor is better than Gillette labs exfoliating bar razor.
No - the GilletteLabs is the way to go - all the way!
Naaaah... The Gillette totally smokes the hydro 5. But the blades are much more expensive!

That’s a good idea - one I will get to as soon as my beard journey comes to an end. Soon.
Is the handle made out of metal? or its just plastic?
Plastic with a hard core - possibly some sort of metal.
Danm this schick is great.
Indeed
Can anyone confirm whether the hydro 5 sensitive blades fit on the Quattro Titanium razor?
They don’t.
Hi I wonder if the Schikh Hydro COMFORT is different than the Hydro 5 Sense?
Thanks
It looks the same - probably just a rebranding exercise
@@averageguytested thanks.

Does the schick hydro 3 blade fit on the 5 blade razor handle and vice versa?
I believe so. I’ll check

I wanted to ask you have you ever tried a Schick hydro 5 disposable Razor 😁
Haven’t tried the disposable

nice video and shave, hmm i like the extra one blade to me no problems, stay safe cheers....Peter
Thanks, Peter!!
10 blades is optimal
😂😂😂😂
I prefer 15! It’s the fastest 🏎️
Good video brother ❤
Thanks, brah!
I came to this video trying to find out how to refill the razor and just kept watching lol. I feel like an idiot but I got it after a few minutes
That’s a good idea for a video
what about mach 3 vs shick hydro 5 video ?
Maybe Mach3 vs. Hydro 3 first
@@averageguytested please do this!
3 blades is the best
I agree.
Agreed
For head and face 5 blades for just face 3 blades.
I prefer 3 blades.
Its true companys are experminting
Indeed.
