Schick Hydro Silk


I received a Schick Hydro Silk razor from BzzAgent, and as someone who gave up on women's razors years ago, saying I like this one is a big thing. Seriously, I tried so many women's razors and hated them all. I have been using a men's razor for at least 2 years now, but I just may make the switch permanently to this razor. Besides a close shave, the head is wide and contours nicely to my skin, even grabbing those pesky hairs on the back of my knees. The handle feels good in my hand and it's easy to hold onto. I haven't dropped it once.

One of the unique things about this razor is that it has a raised handle rest, so the cartridge itself isn't sitting on the shelf of your shower, getting stuck to it. Plus, the serum in the cartridge lasts. I've been using the same head for weeks, being that it's winter and I let my bigfoot flag wave free, and it still has serum in it.

There are two things that I don't love about this razor. One, I get itchy legs after shaving. This is probably just my crazy skin reacting to something in the serum, but I hope that they will come out with heads for this made for sensitive skin. Two, I wish that it came with a holder for the shower. My shower shelves have enough crap on them already, I like having a designated place for my razor and a place to keep cartridges so that I don't have to go searching for a replacement when I realize that it needs to be changed.

Overall, I give it 4.5 stars!

Goody QuikStyle

 Yay for beauty products! They are quite possibly my favorite thing to try. I got this brush as part of my Influenster holiday VoxBox and I gotta say, I love it. It boasts that it will cut drying time by 30% because the microfiber between the bristles. I definitely notice a change in the time that it takes to dry my hair, but my favorite thing about it is that my hair is super soft and sleek after drying. I don't even need to use my flat iron after drying most of the time, so not only is it drying my hair faster, lessening heat damage from the blow-dryer, but not using the flat iron is keeping my hair much healthier as well!
