About this deal

Yah agree with the old Sensor. Cannot help but feel 2 blades probably reached the optimum between multi blade closeness and being able to weild the darn things properly. No closer really with 3 or 5 blades but like weilding a log for a load of wasted extra cash. Great under nose and no soreness. However, not as cheap as you would imagine. 10 year old technology almost same price as Mach 3. Ill keep mine though as long they keep supplying the blades. Tried the Hydro. Very smooth shave.

If you're the bushy-bearded type, you may be better off looking at our guide to the best beard trimmers – but for those of us who prefer the clean-shaven look, wet-shave razors simply offer the closest cut going.On the note of soreness mentioned by the original article here i would agree with one other poster who said he experienced soreness for the first shave. Its been suberb since. I would say just about as good as a Mach 3 with a trimmer and perhaps not quite as a good as a fusion but which has a lousy trimmer. I also agree that the old Sensor takes some beating. I almost believe the Mach 3 power which i was given over 2 years ago might just edge it but do i need batteries and slight extra cost. Worryingly none in Boots last time i looked , i wonder if they have stopped being imported or Gillette are winding them up. Strojek Wilkinson Hydro5 lze používat se všemi holicími strojky řady Hydro: Wilkinson Hydro 3, Wilkinson Hydro5, Wilkinson Hydro5 Power Select a Wilkinson Hydro5 Groomer. As for your second question about why they don't have 100% of market if "they were so wonderful", can you please point out the part where I said that Wilkinson were wonderful? I actually believe that the fusion is every bit as good as the Hydro 5, which is a testament for Gillette considering that the fusion is the older product, but the H5 has an edge only because of the lower cost. My teenage son had the Hydro 3 and i had the Hydro 5 off my wife this christmas. We have used our first blade for about 3 weeks but agreed to swap our second blade over to try the other. I drove the idea so that i might buy the cheaper 3 blades and he was happy because he got the 5s more novel blade system.

Somewhat dogmatic statement there that "nobody in western Europe has ever criticised the Mach 3" I'm quite sure they have. And as a rebuttal to that statement, we're comparing two razors here. By itself and never having used another razor, it is a perfectly good tool. I used it for about 2 years. However we were briefly comparing it against the hydro 5, a newer tool and one that I regard as better in some respects, even as I regard the hydro5 as not as good as some others on offer. Hence I don't rate the mach 3 very highly, there are better razors now out there. Also, this view is one that even the defenders of the middle line who have posted on here have pointed out, see the post by KP.

Well great job promoting Gillette, my friend, Hope they pay you well....perhaps in form of free razors Their flagship razor is the Oksa, with is incredibly comfortable to hold (if a bit odd to look at) and compatible with both the Oksu three-blade and Oksu five-blade razor. We'd recommend the five blade, with produces a smoother shave. paragraph: Thank you for your pop psychology, perhaps you’d care to expand it into a piece… I could host it for you. Regardless, I shall share it with my family whom I’m sure will be highly amused. I definitely Don't want to take the side of Wilkinson Sword Hydro for the minute since I only had one shave (can't say how long the blades will last) but Dad says not long (2 weeks - shaving everyday).

The 3 really is that good though. I defy you critisise it especially at the price. Its almost not like shaving. Cannot figure why they put all their advert hype into the 5 which frankly isn't a great shave. None of us had patchy shaves at all and certainly no soreness after the 2 weeks or so of using the blade. Razor burn?? When using the fusion (powered or not powered)my face gets ravaged and during the day it will start burning. Sure it provides a closer shave than the Quattro,but at the expense of a pleasant skin feel. Of course you cant use Hydro blades on a Quattro handle: ITS A COMPLETELY NEW RAZOR SYSTEM. Did you make as much fuss when you could'nt use fusion blades on the Mach 3? ???? New York shaving brand Harry's are the newest disrupters to enter the market and try to chip away at Gillette's hegemony, having launched in June. We're huge fans of their razors – they feel solid and well weighted, look pleasingly straightforward, and eschew the bells and whistles of their competitors in favour of just super-sharp blades. For me the Sensor, Mach3 and Hydro3 all gave me an excellent shave. The Fusion let my skin sore and I didn't like the way my chin appeared to bury itself into the bank of blades on it. The Quattro was terrible.

Designed to protect skin against irritation, Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 razor blades are ideal for those looking for skin protection, high performance and quality in their shaving experience. Features All you need is two or three blades. You don't need something resembling a radiator grille to get a good shave. Ok sorry. I suppose it is a personal opinion but yours is not shared with either the main collection of posts on here or friends who used the Hydro 3 when it was free trialed amongst the men who worked at my dept store. They're very comparable to Harry's, and while we prefer the shave of the US company's product, Cornerstone's razor probably wins in terms of look. I had a worse problem with my skin, worse than the Quattro even, and with a brand new blade! When I use a razor my skin doesn't like, I not only get razor burn but acne as well.
