My experiment is done. When I calculate the cost of these blades per shave at 6 shaves the Trac II is more economical and gives a continuously better shave. It's not 'as smooth' on the first shave as the Hydro was; but it is about 90% as smooth and that's good enough as the Trac II never gave me any nicks, cuts or irritation and the last two shaves of the Hydro did nothing else. I'm done with it and going back to the less expensive twin II style cartridge blades that have always done a consistently better job for a heck of a lot less money. In some ways I think the razor business peaked with the twin blade razors (Trac II, Super II, Sensor, Tracer) and everything after them were a marketing gimmick just to separate us average men from our money. Again: Done.27-year-old male here: sensitive skin but need to be clean-shaven for work. I've tried nearly every different razor and type (safety, electric, 2-5 blade cartridge). My conclusion is this: Gillette, although offering a competitive product, is simply too expensive and not cost-effective for long-term usage. If you've read or watched videos "teaching you the art of shaving", almost every single one mentions the importance of a sharp blade!
My daily razor now is the Schick hydro. The "hydration reservoir" is no gimmick, it really works. Sometimes, I don't even need to re-apply shave soap and it just glides across my face. Shaving in the shower is key, too. I remember having ridiculously nasty razor-burn when I would wake up, lather, and shave before the shower. Just follow some basic tips and utilize a quality blade like Schick Hydro offers, and you will be amazed how much better the experience of shaving is!
Highly recommended.
Buy Schick Schick Hydro 3 Cartridges Now
I am pleased to have found these blades again. They are better for shaving around my mustache than the five blade models. I can't find them around town, and after buying the handle I didn't want to start over again. I get a good clean shave with the lack of cuts found with lesser quality blades.Shaves pretty well, doesn't cut up my face. Works better than the cheap Gillette blades I used to get by the pound from costco. It really is pretty pleasant when they're new and glides nicely.I switched from Gillette Mach 3 and the Hydro 3 is better and each cartridge lasts a long time. It's a superior product.
