'Perfect for delicate areas': Schick's razor/bikini trimmer duo is down to $17

Right now, many of us are slowly remembering that shorts and swimsuits exist, and that yes, our legs and bikini lines will soon be seen again by the outside world. For a gadget that gets everything ready in one fell swoop, look no further than this Amazon top-seller: the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor with Bikini Trimmer, on sale for $17, down from $22.

​Why is this a good deal? 💰

This double-duty gadget, now at its lowest price in over a year, features an extra-hydrating razor on one end and a battery-operated bikini trimmer on the other. If you buy these two tools separately, it'll cost over twice as much: The equivalent Schick razor sets you back about $18, as does the Schick bikini trimmer. And if this tool erases the need for waxing appointments, you're coming out way ahead.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Schick razors are famously gentle, and this one has five flexible, curve-sensing blades specifically designed to glide over tricky-to-access areas. Those blades are also surrounded by a hypoallergenic, water-activated serum infused with hyaluronic acid and shea butter. That means good things for sensitive, dry or razor burn-prone skin — and it's even clinically shown to moisturize for two hours after shaving.

But what makes this razor truly stand out is the battery-operated trimmer on the other end. The adjustable little comb has four different length settings so you can precisely customize your trim. Plus, it comes with a AAA battery all ready to go, so there's no fumbling around in your hardware drawer.

What reviewers say 💬

This is a very satisfied bunch of shoppers: Over 2,700 Amazon reviewers give Schick's compact, convenient grooming tool five stars.

Pros 👍

"This razor/trimmer is the best combo I have ever used! The razor has five blades with moisturizing strips, so it gives a very smooth gliding shave," said this smooth shopper. "The trimmer cuts down very close, not like a Brazilian wax of course, but almost so close. I love that it doesn't lead to me having ingrown hairs. ... The price is great, being it comes with extra blades. Not to mention how light the product is!"

"This is a very good sturdy product," said a longtime fan. "The last one I bought was around 2016 or 2017 and it still works. I recently took it on vacation but lost my luggage, so that's why I needed to get another one. I like [that] it's lightweight, portable, can be used in the shower, that it needs only one battery and it lasts for a while."

Another shopper with easily irritated skin confirmed its gentleness. "I have been using this razor trimmer set for years and it's the only razor I use," they shared. "As a woman with highly sensitive skin, I get no razor bumps, irritation or discoloration in the areas I use it."

Cons 👎

Be aware that this razor comes with three total blades, not three refills — a fact that some Amazon reviewers didn't love. "I find it misleading to say it's a razor plus three refills, when a functional razor has to have a blade," grumbled one shopper. "It doesn't count as a 'refill' if I'm using it right out of the box. In fact, it's already attached to the razor, and then two actual refills exist."

Some find fault with the battery itself. "The only reason I deducted one star is because of it needing a battery," said one four-star reviewer. "I prefer rechargeable items — that being said, I am very happy with my purchase."
