Toronto’s Truefitt and Hill Owner Backs Up Schick HYDRO

Toronto’s Truefitt and Hill Owner Rick Ricci is pictured in this Toronto Star article giving a customer a shave with the new Schick HYDRO and quoted saying "I can’t compete with this. We’re world renowned barbers and, I’m telling you, the single blade can’t do as well as this."

Schick has unveiled the HYDRO as Gillette presents the ProGlide, a reworked version of the Fusion. Both companies keep vying for customers as the male grooming market grows (though this other Star article claims razor blades sales are dropping).

Both razors are the result of extensive trials and the best that shaving engineering has to offer. But have they really outdone the single blades and straights? Mr. Ricci seems to think so.
