Hydro 5 Groomer Shaver +1Kl.

Product Information

Yah agree with the old Sensor. Cannot help but feel 2 blades probably reached the optimum between multi blade closeness and being able to weild the darn things properly. No closer really with 3 or 5 blades but like weilding a log for a load of wasted extra cash. I cannot understand for the life of me why anybody needs 5 blades in their razor. If you can't get a good shave with 1 or 2 blades is 4 or 5 really going to help? Like I said in my earlier post I tried the Fusion and found it uncomfortable and it even gave me an ingrowing hair a couple if times. Plus with the extra expanse of metal it can get uncomfortably hot as well, contributing to the burning sensation when using it. Two or 3 blades is perfectly fine for my needs. Any more than said number of blades is just marketing nonsense and a blatant excuse fir the companies to charge us rip-off prices. Sensor is fast manouverable and a real pleasure. The slight drop in smoothness didn't bother me at all.

None of us had patchy shaves at all and certainly no soreness after the 2 weeks or so of using the blade. Designed to protect skin against irritation, Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Skin Protection Regular razor blades are ideal for those looking for skin protection, high performance and quality in their shaving experience. I had forgot how beautifully it handles and it does the job perfectly, allowing you to easily see where you are going. Well great job promoting Gillette, my friend, Hope they pay you well....perhaps in form of free razors Martin, Thanks for your comment, there' starting to be a fair few who say they prefer the 3 over the 5 not least because of the price. I do concur that shaving is expensive and gillette worst of all.Just tried this Sensor this week, entirely based on what you guys are saying here. Available in Boots. Skin guards help smooth skin preventing it getting caught between blades as they pass over the face I think it's a great blade very comfortable shave great flip up design also and cheaper then gillette all round winner Im struggling to find a difference on a typical shave between the Mach 3, Fusion, or this Hydro 5 and a Mach 3 power i have gained over the years. The outstanding feature for me is the Hydro flip head which presents the top blade of the group within a hairs breathe of the crease of your nose which no other blade can do because of their lubrication strip being in the way regardless of how thin.

As for them being wonderful, I inferred because you seemed to be taking umbridge to my review you were akin to a Wilkinson fanboi :-) Perhaps my question was slightly unprocessed but I though your comment (actually both of them) were very slightly ludicrous in a paranoid sort of way. Lymond i think the problem is that you have seemingly rubbished an excellent product which is in direct competition with Gillette. This leads one (incl me) to believe that something dodgy is at work like say one of the Gillette sales team under pressure etc.

Your response is typical of idiots and lonely people. The former are always the least likely to recognise that reasoning is not their forte, and because they hate being seen for what they are, they evade responding to simple arguments by hurling insults and accusations. The latter, are prone to emotional reasoning because any opposition to them is considered an invasion to their cyber sphere which is the only place they can feel that they matter.

It features Gillette's Flexball technology, which allows the razor head to pivot in all angles to respond to the contours of the face. "This is great for moving around your chin as the ball is designed to move over curved surfaces", says Jaye. As for your paragraph about it not making sense, companies get it wrong all the time. I'm not suggesting that for every male, female, animal or lizard on earth Wilkinson has got it wrong, but FOR ME, they got it wrong, to the extent that their previous product was better. Case in point, look at the reception for MS Vista as an operating system compared to XP.

Also I don't like the fact that Gillette has the audacity to market their Snowplough skinguard as a 'breakthrough feature' when a Tesco 2-blade disposable has a similar feature way before the Fusion cane out. To answer some of your direct points, there's no comparison to the mach3 that I have ever made, and aside from the soreness I get from the hydro5 it's markedly better than the mach3 which I don't rate very highly at all, the vibrations aside. As for your second question about why they don't have 100% of market if "they were so wonderful", can you please point out the part where I said that Wilkinson were wonderful? I actually believe that the fusion is every bit as good as the Hydro 5, which is a testament for Gillette considering that the fusion is the older product, but the H5 has an edge only because of the lower cost.
