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

Customer Review

I have tried a lot of razor from Gillette with Vibration without Vibration, all were good and great. I am one of the men who shave with shower. Here I do not use shaving gel or so, my facial skin is so insensitive because luckily I've never struggled with razor burn.
This Sword Hydro 5 Power is now my first Wilkinson razors. And the result is almost like it was supposed to do: no significant difference. When I read here of people who complain that they have to shave twice on some points, I wonder whether the use another facial hair or completely different razors, but the Wilkinson shaved just as good or bad as any Gillette razor I've tried so far have.

Say almost crucial first is the question of how expensive the blades (8 Pack in about 2 which is very inexpensive) and secondly how long they keep. Since I shave every day, I can not, of course not answer exactly, the Gillette blades have always kept with me forever, at the Wilkinson Sword so far have also shown no faster wear.

This shaver can activate vibration. We find nowhere really a description of what's the point really well. Ultimately, should the vibration for a better, more comfortable shave care, and set up the whiskers a little. Stiftung Warentest is probably responsible for finding out whether the whole is more than a psychological effect, but I feel that both the Gillette shaving and when Wilkinson very pleasant and rather reluctantly shave with shaving this feature does not have. You can choose three levels here - which I find rather annoying because I because no real difference or advantages or disadvantages notice, but it's when you turn off rather annoying. For a point deduction.

Conclusion:
Otherwise it's a great razor, which provides a perfect shaving experience, convenient blade has, therefore also not as durable are expensive. The vibration is okay, but has too many steps. One would be good enough. All in all a good, recommendable razor. But I would not expect otherwise in Wilkinson.
