Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Razor - Wilkinson Sword - 730109

For optimal performance and hygiene, we recommend replacing your Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 blade cartridge after 5-7 shaves, or as soon as you notice any discomfort, tugging, or dullness.

While primarily designed for facial hair, the Hydro 5 can be used for body shaving. Always use caution, prepare the skin, and use a fresh blade for the best results and to minimize irritation.

The unique hydrating gel reservoir activates upon contact with water, releasing a dermatologically tested gel that coats the skin. This helps to reduce friction, protect the skin, and keep it moisturized for up to an hour after shaving.

Yes, the entire razor, including the flip trimmer, is designed for use in wet conditions and can be rinsed under water. Ensure it's fully exposed for best trimming results.

After each use, rinse the blade cartridge thoroughly under warm running water from both the front and back to clear any hair or gel residue. Shake off excess water and allow it to air dry in an upright position.

Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 blade refills are widely available at most major retailers, pharmacies, and online stores where shaving products are sold. Look for packaging specifically marked 'Hydro 5' refills.

This is a sign the blade is worn. Replace the blade cartridge with a new Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 refill.

Ensure your skin is properly prepared (warm shower/towel). Shave with the grain first. Rinse the razor frequently. If irritation persists, consider a fresh blade or adjusting your shaving technique.

The gel reservoir is designed to dispense for approximately 1 month's worth of shaves. If the gel appears depleted, it's likely time to replace the blade cartridge.

Check that the gel reservoir is fully flipped back to expose the trimmer blade completely. Ensure the blade is clean and not clogged with hair. Use short, controlled strokes with light pressure.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly aligned with the handle's attachment points. Apply firm, even pressure until it clicks into place. If it still doesn't attach, check for any obstruction in the handle or blade.
