Test driving Schick Hydro Silk Razor - results and prize winner!

Apparently plenty of you were sick of shaving irritation - judging by how fast we gave away 100 Schick Hydro Silk razors in our giveaway in January! As a matter of fact, they went so fast that Schick took pity on us and all of the e-mails we were still getting and offered up another 100 to our hairy, greedy readers!

So 200 razors later, of course we are very curious to know what our testers thought of their new Schick Hydro Silk razor -

In general most of you:
like the moisturizing water-activated serum
like the handle shape and feel
like how easily it glides and navigates
like how close and comfortable the shave is
like how it only takes one pass to remove hair
like how there are no nicks or razor burn
like how smooth their legs feel afterwards

To get a better shave your suggestions are:

not to use too much pressure
not to use the razor if your hands are slippery
not to let your husband get his hands on it or you will never see it again

And we had some total differences of opinion:
most had no irritation while some of you had slight irritation
some of you found it easy to clean while others found it difficult to clear the blades of hair

Overall it's a positive result with only 5 of you preferring your usual razor over this one and 10 of you complaining about the refill price.

The rest of you like, loved and/or are already planning to repurchase the Schick Hydro Silk!

Those of you who were clever enough to read the little piece of paper that came with your new razor and were actually kind enough to send in the review that was promised know that you are all in the running for a $100 Visa gift card.....and the winner is......drumroll..... Victoria I. from Toronto! Buy yourself something pretty with it girl!

Thanks to everyone that took the time to test out the razor and send us your thoughts!

And for the last time people, the razors are gone - G-O-N-E - stop asking for them already and go buy one!
