Schick Hydro Sensitive 5-Blade Men's Razor System — 1 Handle + 17 Refill Cartridges, Shock-Absorb Handle & Aloe Gel Pools

Schick Hydro Sensitive is a five-blade men's razor system with skin guards, gel pools, and a shock-absorb handle designed to give a close shave while minimizing irritation on sensitive skin.

Engineered for men who experience razor burn or tightness after shaving, this kit pairs a responsive handle with 17 replacement cartridges that were crafted to soothe as they shave. Previously known as Hydro 5 Sensitive or Hydro Skin Comfort refills, these Hydro Sensitive blades combine a five-blade cutting surface with protective Skin Guards and aloe-enriched gel pools to help reduce tugging and protect delicate skin.

How does this razor reduce irritation on sensitive skin?

The Hydro Sensitive blades include Skin Guards in front of each of the five blades that help lift and align hairs before cutting, which reduces skin pulling and abrasion. Seven gel pools across the cartridge release lubricating ingredients like aloe and Pro-Vitamin B5 to cushion contact during the stroke.

• Skin Guards on all five blades to lower friction.
• Seven gel pools with aloe and Pro-Vitamin B5 for soothing lubrication.
• Multi-blade design reduces repeated passes over the same area.

How long do the blades last and what affects lifespan?

On average, a single cartridge is designed to last about a month when shaving roughly three times per week. Blade life depends on beard coarseness, shaving frequency, and how you rinse and store the cartridge between uses; keeping blades clean and dry extends their sharpness.

• Estimated: one cartridge ≈ one month at typical use.
• Rinse thoroughly after use and store upright to help longevity.
• Coarser beards or daily shaving will reduce cartridge life.

What features make the handle easier to use and more precise?

The Shock Absorb handle flexes with facial contours to lower nicks and cuts by adapting pressure through the shave. A flip-back trimmer on the cartridge converts to a slim precision blade for shaping sideburns, under-nose areas, and edges with control.

• Shock Absorb handle adapts to facial angles to reduce pressure points.
• Flip-back trimmer for detailed shaping and hard-to-reach spots.
• Ergonomic grip for stable handling in wet shaving conditions.

Are these blades manufactured to high quality standards?

Yes—the blades are honed and crafted in the USA and dermatologist-tested to meet sensitive-skin requirements. The combination of precise blade honing and skin-protective elements aims to deliver a dependable shave while meeting production quality norms.

• Blades honed and crafted in the USA for consistent sharpness.
• Dermatologist-tested design focused on sensitive skin needs.
• Includes a large supply—17 refill cartridges with one compatible handle.
