Allegedly Wilkinson Sword has in the development of a new razor for discerning women invested seven years and this also involved the technological finesse from the world of men's shaving. My review:
Handling:
- By the ergonomic soft touch grip rubberized razor is very good and grippy in the hand, even with wet hands
- Very easy
- Flexible blade head, which optimally adapts to body shapes, and a shave in the ankle and knee area designed to be hassle free and effective
- The shape of the razor is designed such that the blades do not lie when he is ready for daily use in the shower (sparing the blades), but the Saugknopfapparatehalterung included in the set, which already left a few weeks without crashing or Loslöseerscheinungen on the tiled wall and in the razor hanging waiting for his next assignment, is anyway the better alternative
Blades:
- Five flat-scale blades, so that one very close reach to the skin and thus shorten the hair optimally can
- The blades are mounted so that they can move independently and thus safely glide over the skin without damaging it. I am very impressed by the precise and thorough shave, even at critical points (knees, ankles)
- Well after about ten times of application, the blades stay sharp and do not clog permanently
The care component / skin compatibility:
As the name implies, "Hydro" is the motto here. In shaving, small round cubby located (the white dots at the edge of the blade), in which a so-called Marine extract superimposed which is to preserve the moisture content of the skin. Holding the razor before shaving briefly under water, it looks the same as the chambers are active, easily swell and release a transparent gel. Serum creates a gentle film on the skin, so that the blades glide easily and without stopping through the skin. Here I like also the neutral smell. However, the little room is empty after just four ... five shaves and it should stay that my only gripe.
Conclusion: In spite of relatively rapid decay of integrated hydro-serum and a fairly high price replacement of spare blades, I am completely satisfied with the device. With five blades to shave not only thorough, but also safer.
