I'm kicking myself for not getting this years ago. Not to be too graphic... but I know when I was reading reviews before I decided to buy it what I really wanted to know is if it will work on thick coarse hair, if it's easier and trimming with scissors, and if it feels safer. The answer is YES YES and YES! I'm not worried about cutting myself and I can trim really quickly. What would usually take me 15 minutes took me less than 5. I'm not a 'totally bare' person, but I do want it neat and short. If you want completely bare this isn't for you, but if you want to trim it's perfect. Even comes with the battery. Highly recommend.
So I'm practical. And a 2-in-1 razor/trimmer sounded practical to me even though I had no idea how to use a trimmer...so I signed up for the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor campaign through BzzAgent. Allow me to fill you in on my first impressions, razor usage and trimmer usage. I am BzzAgent Angneld.
First impressions: The packaging was nice and I didn't have to get out a chainsaw to open it. The razor is a bit chunkier than a typical razor, but it has a sturdy manageable feel. It made me happy to see that a battery was included with it to run the trimmer. To get the battery in, I recommend putting the flat part of the battery in first then twisting the razor together. Hidden under the cardboard back insert were helpful pics and instructions on the razor.
Razor usage: The razor part shaves nice and close, leaving my legs feel smooth and moisturized. It did miss some random patches of hair even though I went over most areas twice. Also, every time I rinsed the blades out in the water, a large drop of drool would come off of the razor head. It made me wonder how long the moisturizer could last if that much came out so easily. Overall, the razor was good, but the drooling was not super impressive for all the hype on its HydroSilky properties. I attached a picture of what the razor looked like after its first use.
Trimmer usage: Ok, I'll confess- I had no idea how to use a trimmer so I YouTubed it. The how to videos were all shown trimming men's beards. From them, I learned how to hold the razor (with the blades parallel to the skin). Also, I learned that shaving up (or against the hair) will remove more hair than shaving down (or with the hair). There is a bit of an art to trimming if you're not going to hack everything off, so take some care. The trimmer has four settings. Three of the settings are found by adjusting the casing while the fourth setting is found by taking the casing off. I would have never dreamed of using a trimmer before but it is just what I needed. Using the guard is nice, because then I didn't have to worry at all about pinching my skin, like scissors would (and did). Taking off the guard is nice for a super close cut that is more gentle on skin than a razor, if you're careful. The one downside to the trimmer is that hair will get stuck inside it and I'm not the best at cleaning it out. I tried rinsing it out (probably a bad idea), then I used a Q-tip. But hairs were still stuck in there as you can see in my pic.
Overall, this is a great product because of it enlightening me on the powers of a trimmer. The fact that there's a razor stuck on the other end is just a bonus to me. I will probably never live without a trimmer again...
This razor does a great job. It works well, super easy to use, I use it in the shower and it gets a nice, close trim. Awesome. My one complaint is that after a year or so I always ALWAYS need to replace it. Every time it stops working and I figure it’s battery needs to be replaced, I replace the battery then nothing.
And with that said, this razor is so affordable and works so well (before it dies) I always just keep replacing it. I usually need a replacement after a year to a years worth of regular use.
Love this little trimmer. It is exactly what I needed. I've tried other methods that ended up cutting my lady parts. This product allowed me to do a very detailed job without injuries. It's also the perfect size for navigating the female anatomy. Which allowed me to achieve my desired style in just a few minutes! I was pretty bushy. So, if it worked for me. It can work for you.
Man I missed this. I tried replacing it with a couple of cheepo Chinese products with what I can only guess are fake reviews. Ouch! No lies the razor is not great, but there Is no comparison to the trimmer. If what you are looking for equates to a beard between 2-4 days (without the guard) or a buzz cut (with) then this is the one. I suppose I can see why the reviews are mostly 4 star sine 1/2 of the product isn’t great. Just ignore the razor. I mean don’t cut yourself lol. Buy it for the trimmer. It’s the best.

The moisturizing, water-activated conditioning serum, the five curve-sensing blades, and a battery-powered trimmer with three length settings, is ideal for your bikini area and offers a close, clean, comfortable shaving experience.
This really worked well, the little trimmer, I expected to kind of work because, frankly it's on a disposable razor. But it worked just as well as one I would have paid 50 bucks for. Impressed!
I just wish the razor side was as good as the men's version!
This is the only brand/style razor I have purchased for myself in years! The trimmer works great! I replaced the battery in my last one several times before it died for good. Now I'm on hydro number 2 and I would recommend it to everyone! The versatility of this thing is indispensable. Plus it's supremely affordable on here, don't try to buy it at CVS, you will pay at least double.
Great razor and love the bikini trimmer. It’s what sold it for me originally. I’ve been using it about 3 years. However I just bought my third replacement razor because after sometime the trimmer begins to rust. It seems to still work okay with the rusting, but after it starts getting worse (at a year, year and a half) I look at replacing. I am trying now to shake the excess water off after I use it to see if that help. I’m sure if you dried it well it after use it would really help this problem. Otherwise no problems with it, sturdy handle, no battery issues, shaves decent and doesn’t cause any crazy skin irritation. I’m sold for life on this because of the convenient trimmer.
I love this razor/trimmer. It’s the perfect size for the bikini area & works well. I haven’t cut myself or anything and my skin felt so smooth after using the razor. The trimmer does not do a close shave but a nice “buzz” cut that still works well for me. Hold down the power button for about 2-3 seconds & the trimmer will stay on instead of having to hold the button down. I love this product & highly recommend to those looking for a nice razor/trimmer!
This product is a game changer. After realizing that there was no reason to torture myself trying to be bare all the time, I was faced with the challenge of keeping my hair tidy without taking it all off. I tried to use a razor and trim with scissors and that was just a terrifying nightmare experience that I do not recommend. Finally I stumbled upon these- HOW do more women not use these/talk about these/revere these?! Clippers are not just for men with beards, they are for women who are tired of cuts and razor bumps and ingrown hairs and cysts. After years of feeling pressure to go bare and then feeling self conscious about my messy hair, I finally feel comfortable and confident with my low-maintenance hair style and it is all thanks to this gizmo. If you're here even considering it, GET IT.
