Wilkinson sword hydro 5 & My routine
« on: July 15, 2015, 01:38:50 PM »
Good afternoon guys,

I'm new to head shaving and currently I'm just using a wilkinson sword hydro 5, what do you guys think of this razor.... Are there betters on the market (gilette or similar)

I was looking into getting the head blade but I'll get one when I come to the USA next month as it's much cheaper there.

I don't know if we have that here in the States.  I use a Gilette Fusion Pro-Glide and that works the best for me.  It's got a 5th Blade on the back that I use to shaving the sideburns at the top of my ears so the line is straight and symmetrical.

Have you used the headblade at all?

No, never tried the headblade, I'm a diehard Fusion user.  Have used it for as long as I can remember.  There are others on here who use the headblade and they seem to like it. so hopefully they can share their opinion with you.

Just had my cleanest & closest shave yet!

I still had a little redness after the shave but I'm putting this down to my scalp getting used to the razor & the redness goes down quickly after I apply the post shave balm.

This is my new routine:

Shower, face wash/head wash, king of shaves shaving oil, king of shaves shaving gel, WTG, rinse head & re apply oil and gel, ATG & then go over missed bits. Finishing of with a Cooling Post Shave balm with 0% alcohol.
