Warmer weather is here in Ohio and with it, my husband Walt says, after growing a beard all winter, time to shave! Schick Hydro® is an awesome choice. My son Cam will also be shaving in a few years, good time for me to start stocking up on razors for the guys.

I stopped by Giant Eagle today to find Schick Hydro razors. Giant Eagle always has awesome deals on razors. Walt has always preferred Schick.

When it comes to summertime skincare, there is nothing worse than skin irritation.

Here are some of the new features:

Improved Glide – 80% more lubricant surface area for gel extrusion with new recessed micro-slits
Improved Safety – reduced blade spans minimize skin bulge between blades. Hydro gel now moisturizes your skin for up to 2 hours after your shave.
Designed like no other razor to protect from irritation

Schick Hydro® Razors come in a variety of styles: Schick Hydro® 5, Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive, and Schick Hydro® cartridges.

Here are some good tips to keep in mind!

Wash your face with soap and warm water to remove oils from the hair and skin, and to allow whisker softening to occur. Or better yet, shave after a shower when hair is fully saturated with water.
Next apply a thick layer of shaving cream or gel, and allow it to sit on skin approximately three minutes.
Keeps moisture on the skin to enhance softening
Reduces friction caused by the razor going over the skin's surface
Carries away debris removed by the razor blade
Enables you to see the area already shaved
Remember to shave in the direction of hair growth. Take your time and shave carefully over sensitive areas. For a closer shave, carefully shave against the grain of hair growth.
Immediately rinse with cold water to remove any traces of soap or lather.
Complete your shaving regimen with an aftershave product to soothe sensitive areas. Skin can be irritated by the alcohol found in many aftershave splashes, so use an appropriate cream or gel aftershave product if you have sensitive skin.
Use a clean, sharp blade. Newer blades require less force to cut through the hair than dull blades. Since you don't need much pressure with a new blade, you'll reduce the risk of nicks and cuts.
