@@ravigemi Sounds very much like my growth and shave routine, both razors are great. The Hydro 6 is definitely for shaving on alternate days but won’t be able to handle growth 4-5 days plus with clogging. It definitely feels and looks more premium. Hydro 5 Sensitive for me is the perfect razor with literally no downsides. 1-2 days or 7 days worth, it will mow down the stubble with no problems at all. So between them, Hydro 5 sensitive is my pick

@@allydz Thanks for the response. I watched quite a few of your videos on cartridge razors including the one on the Hydro 5 Sensitive. Almost pre empted this response and bought the Hydro 5 Sensitive today. Love your channel and style !! You have a new fan.

@@allydz by the way, I know razors are probably the biggest component of shaves, but would love to see you do comparisons on shaving foam/cream/gel/soap and after shave products like splashes, moisturisers, balms, etc. Love how you use different products in your videos and talk about them briefly. Hope I havent missed any full detailed stuff on this.

@@robertjenkins2740 I think they learnt their lesson the first time they tried and hopefully was the last time.

Yea they look different but the real difference is in the hardware side line charging & run time etc

@@nurandeshyaligar Awesome 👍🏼💈

@@davidsotir4318 Thanks for watching Dave!! I’m glad you liked it 💈✌🏼

@@AntonioPlascencia-x7s I hear ya bro. I’m have a few of those planned!!

@@unclelshaves Thanks Lawre, The V2 of the Proof is something else, stronger magnets and groves on the top cap.

@@stevehayes8867 Hey Steve, been a long time. Nice to hear from you ✌🏼💈

@@allydz my pleasure ally, do you agree with the comparison between power and manual

@@stevehayes8867 for me it’s the opposite. I always only used the power variant right from the time the Fusion power was out, and I continuously used the power variants for easy 10-12 yrs. Maybe my skin defaults to working best with the power better than the standard, additionally I don’t feel any pull or drag while going ATG

@@allydz sure thing, but the end result is the same closeness I found, I don’t experience any pulling etc

@stevehayes8867 Closeness is the same for sure... the carts are almost identical. What razor you using at the moment

@@karlhelicher964 Hey Karl, it’s good you know what works for your skin and I normally say, “Listen to your skin and nobody else when it comes to shaving” 🤣 Also, have you tried the Schick Hydro 3?

@@davidsotir4318 Hey David, absolutely. At half price, I would jump on them too. You will find the aloe strips slightly better than the standard Skinguard too, so it’s definitely a steal 👍🏼💈

@@john_dougg811 Thanks John. Learnt something new today ✌🏼😊 I guess it worked no reduce dragging on the face and it’s something they might have not consciously thought about. Thanks for sharing again ✌🏼💈

@allydz oh man I just read what I wrote. This new phone and auto correct is not very auto correct

@@john_dougg811 Haha all good brother. I did make sense out of it

@JimG Yea I was so confused when I started shaving with them, specially as my first non-cart razor then, I remember reaching out to Tony as well and asking for tips ✌🏼💈

@JimG Thanks for sharing. I learn a lot from the tips you drop in time and again. I want to thank you specially cuz a comment of yours made me give the Quattro a go as a daily shaver and not worry about clogging longer beards. Got to say it’s now one of my favourite carts.

@allydz I am very happy to help out at any time! Keep up the great work in your video content!

@@JimG7755 Cheers 😎👍💈

Hi Lawre, thank you. Yes Twig is definitely the real deal ✌🏼💈

Good 👍🏼 💈

@@GadgeteerZA That’s awesome, I don’t get more than 3 shaves normally. How many passes do you run?

@@allydz I only do one actual pass, but I do about two to three strokes over than area. Using an Edwin Jagger DE89 head with the green Astra blades. So my three packs of a hundred blades each have lasted many years now ;-) It's about a 100-pack used every 2 years.

@@GadgeteerZA oh wow, Bdw, DE89 is what I’m currently using this week in my rotation too ✌🏼💈

@@allydz I'm using an iKon handle with the head as it has a way better knurled grip, but I do love the head. Not too aggressive but also not too mild - it pairs well with the Astra blades (for my beard type anyway).

@@GadgeteerZA Sounds like u found you perfect tool. I like my Astra and Derby blades too. Thinking about it, I shave 3-4 times a week & 2 pass shaves, does work out to be 1 blade a week 😊

Skinguard is better if u have sensitive skin, this gives a closer shave than the skinguard

@rajstaleen Hey bro, mine worked for about 2 years and then I got a replacement. It's fully worth it

@@allydz Thank you bro for your valuable feedback... In your initial usage did u faced any problem like speed being reduced and any other issue??

@rajstaleen Not at all, sounds like it needs a clean up or a new battery.

@@allydz Thank you buddy for clearing all my doubts..I really appreciate it..

@@almirmerovic6816 Proglide is a good razor brother 👍🏻

@krank30000 Man I would love to. They don't make them any more..

@@toddd7444 Thanks for sharing and it’s a true positive view. YMMV it is. I don’t know if everyone has a spine strong enough that is required to resist the temptation of them buying multiple safety razors, soaps, Pre shaves, post shaves, brushes, the works… Then we have some individuals that take blood thinners who can only shave with cartridge or electric. I fully get where you are coming from and that definitely requires some discipline where we don’t get into the rabbit hole of becoming a collector 🤣🤣

@@allydz ​ In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?

@@johnmcfadden2871 Hi John, yes I have heard great feedback from some people in the comments. You are bang on… it all depends from individual to individual based of hair and skin type. Hope u have a gr8 day and thanks for watching ✌🏼

@@MegaAluchi Hi Aluchi. The stand and brush both are Muhle as well.

@@Khabib9-z8w The real deal ✌🏼😎

@joebustos3513 It's a shame they don't make them any more, I'm not exactly a fan of the Mach 3 as well. I shaved with the fusions and proglides since they were launched for the longest time.

@@GA-op7we Toss a coin and pick 1, they are literally the same products.

@ya00007 haha... yea I'm a disgrace in here, absolute shambles. I was relatively new to the DE game and only used to predominantly shave with carts. You won't see that happen in my recent DE reviews.

@@joebustos3513 Oh wow, yes they did the excel 3 as well. they don’t make them anymore right..

@@allydz exactly Bro Plus I Can Buy the Disposable Version of Gillette Sensor 3 Disposable Razors and Take off the Refills And use it on My Gillette Sensor 3 Cartridge Razor Handle And I Save a Lot of Money 💵 😊😊😊

@@joebustos3513 that’s nice, didn’t realise them disposable carts worked with the razor

@@allydz yes Bro Plus Same Mechanism 😁😁

It's awesome brother. One of the razors that has stayed in my rotation.

20 mins apparently

Pleasure is all mine ✌🏼😎

Pleasure is all mine ✌🏼😎

Hahaha, yes it does when you put it away 🤣

Haha… “Evolved” for sure. Gillette and their marketing team.. Sensor is such a cool. Thanks for watching Karl!!

@mr.Atomic it’s surely available on Amazon. I just looked them up and can see a few of their razors there. ✌🏼💈

Happy it worked bro, pleasure is all mine ✌🏼💈

Hi Brandyn, that’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. I never realised what all the fuss about slant razors was until I used one. I’m glad I got one ✌🏼💈

Use slant razor cover plate with pearl ssh -05 , it means just replace SSH- 05 cover place 😅😅😅 result awesome 😊😊 ( don't tell copy right issue )😅

@nurandeshyaligar Hahaha no worries at all. Thanks for sharing

@@allydz now I forget Cartridge razor .. Another one I am trying to purchase Canadian Henson razor too😅😅 awesome performance

@@nurandeshyaligar Yes I have heard great things about the Henson

The Definitive Razor.... that's going to be my next video. I was literally not making videos for almost a year, that's how good this razor is. I kept shaving with the T2

Yes with the only exception that they don’t have the Proglide razor anymore but that’s a easy fix ✌🏼😎

@DunningK They sure will work with the Hydro 5 handle but I would suggest upgrading the handle as well. That shock absorb tech does the other half of the magic 💈✌🏼

Haha… That’s hilarious

@alexgled7173 Good to hear bud, thanks for sharing your experience 👍 😀

@@allydz yes Ally. Tbh sensor excel costs 13£ per 10 pack, the skingard costs a bit more, 16£ per 8 pack. Now I do use couple of safety razors (king c, Wilkinson schick, muhle etc). To be honest if for saving money I’d say de razors are more cost effective. But the sensor blades last me about 10-12 saves per blade, the skingard 15-16. So if you’re me shaving twice a week at most I would say that it doesn’t make much difference. Having said that it didn’t really made much difference in my case. However, classic wet shaving is a nice hobby 😏

@@alexgeld7173 I agree, anything with these fusions mostly seems like an over kill. Funnily enough, both the 2 bladed carts and fusions work but the Mach 3/turbo doesn’t. Used to be my only razor until I was 23 and then I ditched it for the Fusion.

@@allydz Fusion wise, I only recommend the ProGlide. Funny enough I rarely suffer from razor burns but it feels like an overkill, since I can get the same result with feather blades and one blade lasts about 10 shaves. And they cost like 15-16 quid for a pack of 50 over here in the UK. So talking about cost effective, I think feathers are the best deal for the buck. Moreover over when it comes to Safety razors I don’t feel like I need anything than my trusted King C (got 2) and Wilkinson Sword’s butterfly. I’m considering getting the R89 just because I love the quality of the R41, but I don’t know! My first King C I had since it first came out and it doesn’t show signs of aging (just a bit of a scuff one since of the top cap), I’m asking myself do I really need to buy another razor? Same goes for the soaps. I’ve tried quite few, but my all time favourites are Nivea Sensitive shaving cream, proraso’s blue and green lines and TOBS grapefruit and sandalwood (proraso’s doesn’t work for me for some reason), the last which I funnily like to mix with the proraso’s sandalwood lotion and balm, over Geo F Trumper’s skin food, which I like to use more as a preshave, and it doesn’t really smell as sandalwood it goes down better with my Eton College and Grapefruit creams from TOBS. So actually I think I found my razors and blades of combination (blades I’d say Feather, Cloud Bruice Lee, Gillette platinum, Parma Sharp 7 o’clock, the black 7 o’clock, Wilkinson Sword Gillette, Lord platinum and super stainless ), my brushes, my razors and my crams and aftershaves unlike a lot of guys who are still trying tons of products.

@@alexgeld7173 If you have the King C, R89 is literally the same razor with a different handle. I went through the same journey where I got the EJ DE89, then King C, R41 and fell for the R89. The 3 razors (except R41)feel and shave literally the same. That’s some interesting mix with the creams and soaps you mentioned. It’s awesome to have a cool beautiful range of shaving gear. Thanks again for sharing in such detail

LOL, it's awesome when u feel that clean shave isn't it...

@@allydz 😍

Compared to Skin guard…efficient surely yes as it gave me a closer shave. Cost effective… I would say so as the carts last longer with Schick but you can check for best prices and compare.

Glad it was helpful! Cheers

Agreed, Great for sensitive skin 💈👍🏼

Hey bud, just run it under the tap or swoosh it in a sink with water, job done.

@@allydz thank you!

Hard to find?

Or maybe I was too excited to use the razor and forgot to mention the blade 🤣 1:53 Derby extra it is
