Mansumer Reports: Schick Hydro 5 Disposable Razor

Trying a new razor is always a scary proposition. Guys like predictability, especially when it comes to our morning shaves. An unfamiliar blade can cause maddening irritation...or worse, an expensive E.R. visit.

That's why we're happy to announce that Schick's new Hydro 5 Disposable can help dudes look their best with minimal effort. We rigorously tested 'em in our Mansumer Reports laboratory (read: our bathroom), and here's what we found...

Ease of Use

It earns top marks for its smooth performance, thanks to UltraGuide blades and a hydrating gel reservoir, cutting last night's stubble without cutting the skin underneath. No need for toilet paper bandages.

Handling

It didn't slip once, and the flip trimmer feature got into those hard-to-reach places. (By "hard-to-reach places," we mean the underside of our necks, not the underside of our balls. Testing that region is up to you.)

Looks

It's a sleek disposable razor, sure...but c'mon, who cares about appearances? If you want your bathroom to impress people, buy some damn artwork.

Price

At about $10, it's definitely affordable for any guy. (So you'll have money left over to buy some damn artwork.)

Bottom Line

Winter's just about over, which means you don't need a beard for warmth anymore. We definitely recommend picking up the Hydro 5 to help with the daily ritual of shaving your face...or any other area that could use some grooming.
