Yes and No answers to this Q, anybody now positively?
« on: September 06, 2012, 01:48:18 PM »
Will the blades to a Personna M5 fit on a Schick Hydro 5 razor?
I've found both answers and I'm gonna order just some blades online if they do.
If they don't, I might switch to M5 due to all the good reviews. .
Thanks.
Keith

Don't know, & although I was a big fan of the M5, it's now my backup to the Hydro 5.  I just think, not withstanding the higher price, the Hydro 5 is just a better & longer lasting blade--remember I don't go below the ears.

I wouldn't take the chance but give it a go if you are curious.

I don't think so. They attach to each razor in completely different ways. I will echo what Saint C said about the SH5. I'm only jut now starting to feel sandpapery. And even that feeling is very faint. I shaved with the SH5 almost 12 hours ago.

Out of curiosity why are you ordering then online? They should both be able to be found locally.

Ahhh....I see now.
Thanks Gents.
@Doug- I've looked at all the usual suspects (Walgreen, CVS, WalMart) but can't find them. I too am using the SH5 and really like the results. I figured for the $ it wouldn't hurt to give this one a shot, due to price point only.
Do you know of anywhere else I can look?

Well, the Personna M5 is not available under it's own brand anymore . It now lives on as re-branded generic. I've seen it CVS and Food Lion (of all places). The SH5 is readily available at most major drugstores and Walmart.

HTH!
