Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Power Select Razor with 1 Blade (Personal Care)

Customer Review

So far I have shaved with Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power and was actually quite happy, the blades but I had sometime then too expensive because I shave every day myself because of my strong beard growth and have a week close about a sword.
And indeed with the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Power, my blade wear has not changed significantly. However, the blades for Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 are only about half as expensive as the blade of the Gillette Fusion ProGlide, which I both Gillette and Wilkinson at each regular and not "Power" - use blades, as these differ from the regular counterparts only in color and differ by an even higher price.

However, as regards the shave, then Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 different and Gillette Fusion ProGlide also yet again noticeably, so the shave with the Wilkinson towards not only gentle but also markedly more thoroughly with the Gillette. This is partly because the Gillette stubble with about 0.5 mm long leaves during Wilkinson whiskers really removed through the skin, and on the other hand the fact that the blades of the Wilkinson are ergonomically shaped and more mobile than at Gillette supported on the blade head are therefore also problem areas such as the dimples are shaved more thoroughly on the chin or under the nose. As I said the Gillette is good but the Wilkinson is noticeably better.
The Gillette Fusion ProGlide has a sixth blade on the top for shaving neuralgic or hard to reach Bart games, such as under the nose. However, this sixth blade is exposed, which can lead to injuries, eg under the nose at unachsamem hasty shave. When Wilkinson, however you can fold for shaving points schwerereichbaren the gel reservoir back, which excludes the risk of injury during a normal shaving as it exists at Gillette at the same Rasurergbnis.

Also the cleaning of the blades is the Wilkinson easily and quickly by hand as the Gillette since become entangled in the Wilkinsonklingen one hand, less hair and this also andererseit hook themselves less in the blade gaps, thus the blade needs while shaving less often and less be rinsed under running water intensive.

Both Wilkinson and Gillette are balanced pleasant and ergonomically in the hand, but the Wilkinson has as opposed to Gillette also a battery indicator, which works surprisingly well, so you can always shave with vibration (s) and not half a shave without vibrations must carry out (and yes, these vibrations a lot of sense, since they raise the whiskers, they are therefore on the one hand and cut accurately to other hand, needed to shave less trains and is thus spared the skin).

Furthermore, the Wilkinson has as opposed to Gillette on 3 levels of vibration, where level one is barely noticeable, while stage three pretty (to) strong shaking while stage two as well as the only stage in Gillette is angenhem and served its purpose. And these three levels of vibration, the only slight drawback of Wilkinson, as these are not controlled via a separate but on the Power of Wilkinson. Will hot, you turn on level one, level two, press again, again press step three and a fourth time press, so that the device is turned off. A separarter button would have the advantage that you do not have to always adjust your level and even that would go off quickly. This shortcoming is, however, although annoying results in everyday life due to lack of relevance to any deduction.

CONCLUSION:
The Gillette Fusion Power is well ProGlide but the blades are very expensive, the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Power, however, is noticeably better, because shaving is appreciably more thorough and gentle. And to top it off the blades with the same shelf life is only about half as expensive.
Therefore, a full five stars and full purchase recommendation.
