'Smoothest shave ever': Schick's popular razor / bikini trimmer duo is on sale
With over 4,600 five-star Amazon reviews, the 'magical 2-in-1 wonder' is amazing for sensitive skin.
Many of us are currently in the midst of what meteorologists lovingly refer to as "Fool's Spring" — a bout of unseasonably mild weather that reminds us that, yes, shorts and swimsuits do exist, and yes, some day our legs and bikini lines will again be seen by the outside world. That means that a quality razor will come in handy soon (now, even!). For a gadget that gets it all done in one fell swoop, look no further than this beloved Amazon bestseller: the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor with Bikini Trimmer, on sale for $21. This ingenious gadget combines two tools in one, featuring an extra-hydrating razor on one end and a battery-operated bikini trimmer on the other. The end result is sleek, smooth skin that's incredibly easy (and affordable!) to achieve — and that revolutionizes the shaving game, fans say.
With a five-blade razor to reduce shaving irritation plus a trimmer for the bikini area, this clever multitasking hair groomer gets it all done. This pack comes with a handle and three blades.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
If you buy these two tools separately, it'll cost about twice as much: The equivalent Schick razor on its own sets you back about $18, as does the Schick bikini trimmer. Combined into one, though, you're only spending $21 all in — plus you've got less clutter in the bathroom. This particular gadget includes three razor heads, so even if you swap out for a fresh one every month you'll be set all the way until June. And if this tool erases the need for waxing appointments, you're coming out way ahead. "Best razor for the money," asserts one reviewer.
Why do I need this? 🤔
First and foremost, Schick razors are famously gentle, with five flexible, curve-sensing blades specifically designed to glide over tricky-to-access areas. Those blades are also surrounded by a hypoallergenic, water-activated serum infused with hyaluronic acid and shea butter. That means good things for sensitive, dry or razor burn-prone skin — and it's even clinically shown to moisturize for two hours after shaving.
But what makes this razor truly stand out is the battery-operated trimmer on the other end. The adjustable little comb has four different length settings so you can precisely customize your trim. Plus, it comes with a AAA battery all ready to go, so there's no fumbling around in your hardware drawer in order to get it up and running. For anyone nervous about bringing a battery-operated tool into the shower, fear not: “The device is definitely waterproof, and the battery on the trimmer is well protected from any water damage,” notes one shopper.
You can also use this gadget for areas beyond just legs and bikini line: "Works perfectly to remove upper lip hair without the pain of plucking or bleaching, and can be done in a matter of seconds," revealed a five-star reviewer. "The fact that this tool also works on so many other areas is just a bigger plus."
What reviewers say 💬
This is a very satisfied bunch of shoppers: Over 4,600 Amazon reviewers give Schick's grooming tool five stars, calling it everything from a "life-saver" to "an actual miracle" to a "go-to for down there." Fans say that the razor itself is remarkably compact and ergonomic for housing a battery, the built-in serum makes shaving a breeze, and the bikini trimmer is easy to use even if you're a beginner.
Pros 👍
"Smoothest shave ever," wrote one fan. "After using this razor, I was literally stunned and knew I had to write a review. I had the smoothest, most accurate shave that I've ever had in my 40 years. It glides so beautifully and smoothly. I love the hydrating feature as well. No razor bumps, just precision and accurate shaving, even on the difficult thighs."
Another shopper with easily irritated skin confirmed its gentleness. "I have been using this razor trimmer set for years and it's the only razor I use," they shared. "As a woman with highly sensitive skin, I get no razor bumps, irritation or discoloration in the areas I use it."
Reviewers particularly love how this tool is designed to handle all elements of tending to the bikini area — not just the shaving part. "Somebody finally realized what women want!" said another five-star reviewer. "I mean, trimming is distinctly different from shaving, so why would the same tool work for both? ... Now I don't have to bikini shave two to three days prior to actually wearing a bikini to make sure the razor bumps are gone. The trimmer has adjustability and can be used dry, too. Win!"
Over and over again, shoppers mentioned the genius multipurpose design. "This magical 2-in-1 wonder is here to rescue you from the wild and untamed wilderness of body hair, and trust me, it's like having a personal stylist right in your shower!" declared one extra-enthused shopper. "The built-in bikini trimmer is a game changer. … With this genius feature, you can trim to perfection without any fuss, making it perfect for those last-minute beach trips or spontaneous dates. Your bikini line has never looked so good — seriously, your future self will thank you!"
Cons 👎
Be aware that this razor comes with three total blades, not three refills — a fact that some Amazon reviewers didn't love. "I find it misleading to say it's a razor plus three refills, when a functional razor has to have a blade," grumbled one shopper. "It doesn't count as a 'refill' if I'm using it right out of the box. In fact, it's already attached to the razor, and then two actual refills exist."
Some find fault with the battery itself. "The only reason I deducted one star is because of it needing a battery," said one four-star reviewer. "I prefer rechargeable items — that being said, I am very happy with my purchase."
Who doesn't love a double-action beauty gadget, especially if it means you're spending half as much?
