The NEW Schick Hydro 5 Features:

• Improved Hydrating Gel Reservoir: Schick Hydro delivers 40 percent less friction, reaching 80 percent greater surface area to provide more advanced lubrication throughout your shave and hydrating* skin up to one hour after you shave. Now featuring a wider gel dispenser for improved protection, Schick Hydro 5 uses proprietary ingredients to pack lubrication – with aloe vera and vitamin E – into the Hydrating Gel Reservoir that sets it apart from the traditional lubricating strips found on most razors today.
• Wider Guard Bar: Schick Hydro 5 redesigned the guard bar at the base of the cartridge to make it wider, to help better stretch the skin, providing a smooth shave with each stroke.
• Reduced Blade Span: The five Ultra Glide® Blades have been moved closer together, minimizing skin bulge between each blade to better protect against shaving nicks and cuts.
• Bold New Color: Schick Hydro 5 brings back the same ergonomic handle with a comfortable grip and balanced feel – now with a sleeker, bolder look.
• Same Signature Flip Trimmer: Some things are too good to change, so the new Schick Hydro 5 continues to feature the signature Flip Trimmer, which offers a unique design for those hard-to-reach places – just flip the top back to let all five blades touch the skin compared to a single edging blade on most razors.
