"Schick Hydro® Blast provides a comfortable, hydrating shave, at a great price," said Patrick Kane, senior brand manager for Schick. "We want men to experience the difference, and show that they don't have to compromise on a dramatically improved shave – even when they're on the go."

Which is good news for men, at least according to new data from Schick Hydro. The Schick Hydro® Blast "Skin-Dex" finds a full 75 percent of men always pack a razor for the road and 82 percent believe that shaving should be a seamless part of their on-the-go lifestyle. Furthermore, guys who shave frequently (five times per week or more) are more likely to take their vacation time – all while earning more money  than their scruffy counterparts.

To help men reap all the benefits they stand to gain from shaving --- no matter where they end up --- Schick Hydro® Blast is kicking off the "Have a Blast" campaign, which will award free travel gear, vacation trips, and other exclusive prizes, ranging from iPads to digital cameras. People can enter to win on the Schick Hydro Facebook page, www.facebook.com/hydroexperience. Daily prizes will be awarded on the site from April 4th through July 1st, and a grand prize trip will be awarded in September.

Schick Hydro® Blast lets guys "Have a Blast" by providing a hydrating shave and refreshing experiences. Innovative skin guards, an advanced hydrating gel reservoir, a flip trimmer and an ergonomically effective handle combine with Schick Hydro shave gels to deliver the ultimate skin comfort system. New to every Schick Hydro® Blast razor is a travel case for added convenience on the go to protect the hydrating gel reservoir and razor cartridge for longer lasting smooth shaves.

Schick Hydro® Blast razors are available in three- and five-blade models for an average price of $7.99 (Schick Hydro® Blast 3) and $8.99 (Schick Hydro® 5). The Schick Hydro® Blast 3 delivers high performance and protection for men seeking top performance at a better value than comparable alternatives. The Schick Hydro® Blast 5 offers the latest in razor technology, including a never before seen Flip Trimmer. A pack of four Schick Hydro® refill blades is available for an average price of $11.49 (Schick Hydro® 5) and $7.99 (Schick Hydro® 3).
