Making Shaving a Breeze: I Took the 7 Day Shave Challenge

Y'all, I have an announcement: I'm heading to Cancun soon! I can't wait! I am so ready for a vacation let me TELL YOU. I'm dreaming of crystal-clear waters, sandy white beaches, and some sort of refreshing beverage served in a pineapple or coconut. Or one of each.

But before I hit the store to buy all the swimsuits, I've got to take care of some details first...

...like getting my legs ready. Let's just say I've been slacking off on the hydration and the shaving of my legs this past winter. What? I know we've all been there.

And I’ve partnered with Schick to take their 7 Day Shave Challenge!

Yep, I did it! For 7 days I shaved daily with a Schick Hydro Silk Razor and Skintimate shaving gel. Above is what I used. 

I usually operate in a hurry and try to multi-task whenever possible. When I shower, I'm trying to be fast yet use the time to brainstorm blog ideas. I seriously get the best ideas in the shower. Shaving is never a priority, and can feel like a chore (let's be honest) so I was curious to find out how well using Schick Hydro Silk Razor would work. 

The first step in any leg care routine has to be a moisturizing shave gel. I used the new Skintimate Island Berry Breeze Shave Gel (it's new!) and the Skintimate Silky Skin. I liked both of them, as they gave a close, comfortable shave. The Skintimate Silky Skin helps replenish skin’s natural moisture with Moroccan Oil and a blend of Vitamin E, Olive Butter, and Sunflower Seed Oil.

Here is my set up in the shower!

The two things that frustrate me about shaving are the time it takes and forgetting to replace or not having refills. 

Time-wise, I liked the Schick Hydro Silk Razor because it's a uniquely-designed razor that goes beyond an incredibly close shave to actually care for your skin and leave skin feeling silky smooth after every shave. I don't have to go over the same area twice! This goes back to the multi-tasking in the shower I mentioned earlier.

And for the refills, I thought this was genius: Schick Hydro Silk Shower Hanging Refills.  

These made it easy to store refills my shower and get a great shave every time! Just hang in the shower and use a new one when you need to replace it! I really liked that.

After using the Schick Hydro Silk Razor for a week, I could definitely see and feel a difference. My legs were silky smooth and moisturized. The Skintimate Island Berry Breeze Shave Gel and the Skintimate Silky Skin gels foam into a rich lather and helped me see where I'd shaved and where I'd hadn't. Both had a pleasant scent, too.

So, um, now I have no more excuses! Just smooth, silky legs. Cancun, here I come!

I officially challenge you to try the 7-Day Shave Challenge at home using the Schick Hydro Silk Razor and Schick Hydro Silk Shower Hanging Refills. I can't wait to hear what you think!
