Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Razor Review

Review of the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 razor

[emiljohansson]

Been using this razor since 2016. Best one ever. Will never use another razor.

Thanks for reviewing the Hydro 5. I think the razor is a dramatic improvement over the 4 blade W and S quattro which was renowned for clogging and I never got on with the safety wires. Good idea to show with and without shaving foam. The blades really do last a long time. I think they're made in the US? Flipping the top also helps to dry out the blades when finished with the shave which helps with longevity. Out of the 5 blade specials which is top for you? I think the BIC for me is top of the pack. Value and quality of shave.

Thanks for this I did wonder why my face was going all sticky, I’ll try shaving without my shaving gel, I’ve got the hydro 3, tried flipping the blue part over but don’t think you can with the hydro 3

Thanks for all your succinct and to the point videos. Great stuff. By using the Hydro 5 without shaving cream, gel, foam or soap means the blades would be cutting the hair prior to the 'goo' from the cartridge?

I wish they made a Hydro 3 with the same removable reservoir for trimming, I actually removed it manually but there is still some plastic that cannot be removed...I.have been a Gilette fan and still am but, to be honest, at least in.the Hydro.3 the blades lasted longer than the Gilette premium whatever 5 or 2 blades sensitive one, and in my case almost nothing lasts more than 5 shaves, the Hydro lasted like 10 or 15 and actually I.got.bored and I.replaced it.because or that not.because the blades were not cutting anymore...

I just purchased the Schick hydro 3 sensitive razor. Its ok, but if i had 2 or more days growth, it wouldnt cut through my beard. Schick and Wilkinson Sword are the same thing. I tried the 5 blade as well, same result. Nice concept to the razors, but the blades are just too mild for me. They are comfortable though. Thanks for the review! One more thing, have you tried the Gillette Skinguard? Just curious. JimG

Very informative - thanks. I’m finding it’s cutting me alot which is a new thing for me. So, i was wondering if there was some special technique that was required which i wasn’t using (?!)

I absolutely hate this razor, it cut me to smithereens. Which I haven't cut myself using my Gillette labs razors for years.. I'll be going straight back to gillette.. Expensive but they are the best
