![]() Its new shaving club service also offers a new blade, the Schick "Hydro Connect," that fits on Gillette's handles for less than Gillette's product. ![]() That's not all slick Schick has up its sleeves. "Get Schick with a click," it beckoned the stubble-ridden masses. On Wednesday, Schick started accepting subscriptions to its new shave plan. So when Gillette announced earlier this month that it was revamping its razor subscription service, it was only a matter of time before Schick would follow with its own announcement. That alone was complicated enough, but the emergence of popular subscription-model startups like Dollar Shave Club and Harry's only made things harder for Schick. Closeness: Shaving enthusiasts look for a “BBS” shave-“baby’s butt smooth.” Having changed a lot of diapers in his day, Dan can tell you that that’s a somewhat spurious attribute, but we looked for a close shave without cuts and irritation.It's not easy being "the Pepsi of razors." Just ask Schick, which has long stood in the five-o-clock shadow of razor giant Gillette.Some people will do better with five blades-but these more densely packed blades can clog more easily, and no matter how many blades are in the razor, it has to rinse well. But we’ve done enough testing to believe that you get a quicker, smoother shave from three-blade razors. ![]() Multiple blades: One blade is certainly enough to get the job done, and seven is definitely overkill.A razor handle should maneuver around the contours of your face without you having to twist and angle it too much, and we believe a heavier handle is better, since it offers more control. A handle that works: A handle should have a good grip-any razor that slipped when wet during our testing was instantly disqualified.And shavers should continue to feel comfortable after shaving, without redness, irritation, or ingrown hairs. Modern multi-blade razors rarely nick or cut, so any razor that consistently did was eliminated. If the razor has a lubricating strip, it shouldn’t turn into a slippery mess. Comfort during and after use: This means that the razor feels good on your face-it glides well, cutting without pulling or tugging.
