Is power really all ?! Hydro 5 convinced !! "Power Select" is rather unnecessary

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

Customer Review

After years Gillette took advantage - of having vibration up without extra trim blade etc ... I eventually found the price-performance ratio in question and considered myself why I did not even try out another razor, since I do not always wants to finance expensive advertising Stars and spots etc.

So it was then a Wilkinson Hydro 5 in a deal - first without "Power Select" and I am and was already hooked. But the price-performance ratio convinced. Add to that the very high quality, both the blades and the handle itself, as this in the "normal" variant a very pleasant weight and balanced center of gravity has. But even this Power Select variant has a pleasant focus and fits comfortably in your hand.

Blades:
The blades meet all the requirements and shaving child's play of your hand without plucking and hooks. The blades move smoothly over your face and also against the grain they are not uncomfortable thanks to the gel.

Power Select:
Whether I now have or does not play for me spoke openly not matter, because even without I have no skin irritations. Thus, one can neglect this feature quiet and do not need additional 1-2 euros, since the gel is still significantly "more helpful".

The gel pad:
By placing a gel skin is soothed directly after shaving, so that no traces remain, unless you cut yourself ...! The skin irritations remain completely with me from (but is also at Gillette have been so). Only after shaving the gel layer feels a bit strange on the face, this can be very easily be rinsed off.

In Detail:
Even shaving of details is possible in which one "off work" the gel pad just back perfect example. To catch the small hairs on the upper lip under the nose or shave clear contours to the sideburns. Here I had been at Gillette the version with the "Trim-blade", which was significantly less practical.

Shelf life:
Since some time now I use the blades and the wear is higher than other brand-name manufacturers.

Availability:
As I have in my holiday in South Africa now forgot my shaver, I had to buy a new one there and had seen in local supermarkets only large shelves of Gillette. But I could see the exact back then recognize a package which was familiar to me! It was indeed a Wilkinson Hydro 5, which is however sold under a different brand name ("Send"). So here I was able to fall back on my usual razor, as apart from the brands inlay no difference was Brakable!

Cons:
- Power Select unnecessarily!

Pro:
- Durability super!
- Perfect handling
- Shave is easy blades are very sharp
- No skin irritation
- Outlines possible shave
- No plucking and hooks
- Value for money is very balanced

Thus, a buy rating, provided "Power Select" is needed - rather save Ansonten still 1-2 Euro and buy the "normal" variant.

Happy buying.
