Once the tulips have bloomed and the air finally starts to warm up, we Canadian moms get to officially shed our winter layers. Janice here… and I’m thrilled to celebrate a smooth transition to summer as a #SchickAmbassador.
Like a snake slipping out of last season’s skin, summer means it is time to let go of the long sleeves and winter scarves and instead slide into summer dresses and our favourite pair of flip flops.
As a work at home mom, I have two everyday fall/winter “looks” — yoga pants and running shoes or jeans and boots. If things get fancy and I actually leave the house with make up on, I might pull on a pair of tights, ankle booties and a jersey shift dress.
But when spring promises that summer is right around the corner, I fully commit to my summer wardrobe of sundresses, flip flops, cowboy hat and a pair of sunglasses.
And I couldn’t be happier.
It is so fast and easy to throw on a sundress and flip flops. When it is hot outside, I don’t even have to dry my hair after a shower. Yes, life is definitely less complicated during the summer months.
But my warm weather wardrobe does have some implications — it means I have to actually shave my legs and make sure my toenails are pretty and presentable.
The silly thing is, once I actually take that extra time to shave my legs and polish my toes, I feel so good. I love the smooth feel of freshly shaved legs and my prettied up toes make me feel like breaking out of the house and soaking up the sunshine.
Once I am back in the routine of summer grooming, keeping my legs smooth and my toenails freshly painted, I wonder why I neglect myself for so long in the winter. And then I remember — oh ya — every second counts in my world.
It seems I need the extra incentive of exposing my legs to the world to give myself a break to shave them.
But I have good news if you are also a time-crunched, self-sacrificing mom who needs an extra push to take five minutes for herself — Schick® Intuition® is saving you some time and helping you get those soft and smooth legs extra fast.
So, no excuses. This is the little encouragement you need.
While you are whipping through your shower or having a super fast bath as your kids holler for you from the other side of the house, you can grab your Schick Intuition and quickly shave your legs.
There is no need to reach for the shave gel or spending time lathering up. Schick Intuition is loaded up with a luxurious skin moisturizer. You lather and shave in one step.
The Schick® Intuition® razor is the #1 women’s system brand in Canada†and the first and only razor with all-in-one shave technology that lathers, shaves and moisturizes in one easy step so there’s no need for shave gel – thus simplifying your skincare routine, one stroke at a time.
Now, this doesn’t mean I don’t think you should take an extra ten minutes to soak in that hot bath or stand under the shower letting the water wash away your stress. I am all for it.
You need to take time for you. You need to breathe in the moment and enjoy these crazy but fabulous days.
You just don’t need to use those extra minutes of relaxation getting ready to shave your legs. Schick Intuition will have your legs shaved in no time — some simplicity in your chaotic life.
Schick calls this the “Intuition Effect” — little moments of simplicity that have the potential to impact your day in a BIG way — and hopes their Schick® Intuition® razor might just be the first step in getting the process started in your day.
So go for it — grab that Schick Intuition and run it over your legs.
You deserve to have soft, smooth legs and sparkling toe nails. You should be inspired to kick off the running shoes and run barefoot in the sun.
Summer is finally here and it is so very, very good.

Time saver
#Gotitfree In exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry on 5 Minutes for Mom. Holy moly what a time saver the Schick Intuition Razor is. I shaved what I needed to shave in less time then it usually takes me to lather and repeat. You don’t have to worry if you missed a spot, you don’t have to reapply soap because water washed it away before you finished shaving. No scaly looking skin after legs are dry. They feel so smooth and soft. I usually skip shaving when I’m in a rush because of all the steps, this razor you don’t have to worry about it. I really liked it.

I love how fast & easy shaving can be when I use the Schick Intuition razor! It used to be a chore…just seems to take forever with the shaving gel, and then getting the gel to rinse off clean afterwards. Now it’s just a matter of wetting the razor under the shower & off I go! Simple. Fast. And with 4 blades, I got a super close shave that lasts! The unique “Skin Conditioning solid” with coconut milk and almond oil really helps to moisturize my skin. I have sensitive skin but I don’t have any irritation with the Schick Intuition razor. Thanks for the sample!
Alisa Petrisch says
Wow! Just tried my Schick Intuition Razor that I received in the mail and I couldn’t get over how smooth it went over my legs on the shower. I’ve never had such a close smooth shave like it before. I had to keep checking my legs for hair stubbies because I thought it wasn’t working, but it was and my legs were uber soft when I got out of the shower.
Nice to be able to trust a razor not to nick my skin and offer the closet shave ever. Love the lotion bar surrounding the razor and the comfortable handle to hold while shaving.
Thank you for letting me participate in this review. It is my new favorite razor and I’ll be sharing with friends how amazing it really is!

I’ve been using the Schick Intuition razor for a week now, I #gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry. The Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment razor eliminates the need for shaving cream with it’s soft, moisturizing, lightly scented lather bar attached right to the razor head. I love the clean, warm scent of coconut milk and almond oil (although I think I’ll be buying the Island Berry refills next!). With 4 blades, the shave is close and between the 4 blades and the rich lather from the moisturizing bar, my legs were not just smooth from hair removal but from nourished skin. The razor has a wider handle than i’m used to, which is very comfortable to hold. I was concerned that this razor wouldn’t be great for areas like knees and ankles because of the bulky head but it actually did a really good job. I don’t love it for my armpits though. I find it doesn’t work as well as a smaller headed razor for that job. My other concern with the skin moisturizing solid around the razor blades was that cleaning the hair out from it would be difficult. However, it was just the same as with a plain razor; a simple swish under the shower head cleaned off all the shaved off hairs.
One thing that could use improving with this razor would be being able to replace the moisturizing solid be able to come off separately from the blades since it runs out before the blades need replacing. I try not to send razor heads to the landfill until they are really done.

#Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry. Full confession time! I hate shaving my legs! I get excited for winter time and long pants and convincing myself that it is totally okay to not shave my legs for the entire winter, which in Prince Edward Island seems to last for a solid 7 months!! LOL I have a loving husband and four kids which keeps me busy and lets the whole leg shaving thing slide down the priority list. However, recently I had been thinking that the whole LST (Leg Shaving Thing) would be more doable if, 1) It didn’t take so long, 2) It didn’t cause so many nicks and cuts and 3) Did I mention how long it takes?!! I’ve thought about the waxing idea but that just doesn’t appeal to me–sounds way to messy and time consuming and waay too painful! I was super thrilled to get the newsletter from 5 Minutes for Mom about the possibility of getting this free razor. I thought–well doesn’t hurt to enter and wasn’t I surprised when my razor came in the mail!! I had a nice growth of stubble going on and was uber excited to try this thing out. I sincerely didn’t believe it was as easy as the package said. I was utterly shocked and amazed at what a fabulous job the Schick Intuition did!! It was easy, quick and enjoyable!! For the first time ever I actually WANT to go shave my legs and feel luxurious!! Thank you Schick and 5 Minutes For Mom for this opportunity!

Busy mom who tends to neglect her own self-care and beauty routine in her quest to ensure the kids’ needs are met and all work expectations are satisfied? Check. Woman who detests shaving but is also not a big fan of waxing and has no desire to go au naturel? Check. Does the Schick Intuition razor with the built-in shave lotion bar to cut out the need to take time to lather up your legs prior to applying the razor cut out mess and time? Check. Does it give a close, smooth shave? Not too bad.
I love that it’s quick and easy and allows me to do a quick shave without planning for extra time in the shower on my busy mornings. I love that it’s not messy like creams, lotions, and gels which invariably end up all up my arm and then become a slipping hazard in the bottom of my shower as they slide off my legs. I like that it’s easy to throw in a bag for travelling. I don’t think it provides the closest and smoothest shave of all the razors I’ve tried. Having said that, however, with how quick the process ends up being, I don’t mind shaving a little more often, especially since I have noticed that my bathroom does not resemble a murder scene when I am done shaving which it has been known to do with other razors that slice up my legs badly (likely because I am usually rushing).
Would I use it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to friends? Definitely.
Rhonda Struthers says
I am a recipient of the Schick Intuition razor. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this product. I would rate this razor 4 out of 5. There is a bit of a technique to get the smoothest shave. The blades need to be tweeked to give a smoother shave. I love that I do not have to have to have a separate shaving lotion. It just so happened that I had run out of shaving gel when I received the razor. Perfect timing!
Would I recommend this product? Absolutely. It is great for everyday and travelling.

I was lucky enough to be able to try the Schick Intuition razor. The razor comes with 2 – 4 bladed ends that have a solid moisturizer attached to it. I love this razor for my legs. It smelled good from the moisturizer and helped with my dry skin. I found it easy to use while saving me time. Even if it’s only a few minutes, those minutes are precious when you have a busy on the go lifestyle. I liked the purple colour to it, although not a part of it’s function, it was still pretty. The handle was a bit chunky for my liking. I would strictly use this for my legs and not bikini area as I found the razor too chunky. Overall, I would recommend it. It is innovative and the only razor I know of like this.

I was so excited when this came in the mail! I was feeling a bit unsure of how it would work for me – I have really sensitive skin and I break out often as a result of new products. I’ll be honest – I shave rarely. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I’ll usually get in the shower and reach for the razor and realize I left the shaving cream in the cupboard or something like that and then I just never get around to it. It’s probably been a year since I last shaved my legs. When this came in the mail, I used it the very first night and I was seriously impressed by how easy it was to use. The solid product part smells lovely (but not overpowering) and feels very soft on the skin. It felt so soft that I wasn’t even sure if the razor was making contact with my skin, haha. It was and it did a great job at the actual shaving. Since that night, I’ve been using it regularly (because it’s so easy!) and I’m loving my soft legs. My skin has not broken out as a result of using it, so that’s a nice surprise! The razor handle is larger than a typical razor but easy to hold and maneuver. I found it a bit tricky to get the ‘travel cap’ on securely at first but it seemed to get easier when the solid product started to wear down a bit. I will definitely continue to use this razor! Thank you so much for the opportunity to try it out! 🙂

#Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry, on 5 Minutes for Mom. First, I’d like to thank you for giving me the chance to review this product. What a pleasant surprise in my mailbox.
I can not believe it until I tried it and I’m not saying this because I got it free. I love to try many different types of products and razors are one of them. This is by far one of the ‘best’ I’ve ever tried. Where was this all my life? Why didn’t I think of buying this product? This will probably be my forever razor after trying this out.
That said, this razor glides very smoothly, does not cause any skin irritation. It does not give me itchy skin or razor burns, which is amazing. No razor has ever done that before!
To be honest, I was skeptical at first thinking it’s just like every other leading brand razor, but I was so wrong.
The Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment is very convenient as it does not need shaving gel. It comes with coconut milk and almond oil. Also great for travel as I will only need to pack the razor. The price is very reasonable in my opinion as the starter kit comes with 2 razor blades. No need to spend the extra money on shaving gel!
I would definitely purchase this again, maybe forever! I love this razor so much and is very thankful I got the chance to try it free.

#GotItFree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry.
I was thrilled to be chosen to try this as I had yet to try the Schick Intuition razor and now that I’ve used it multiple times I’m ready to give my feedback.
As a busy mom-on-the-go this razor is a dream. There’s no fuss with shaving cream, making sure it doesn’t wash off in the shower, or hobbling soaking wet to the cupboard when you run out of of foam. It’s so convenient!
The smell is amazing to boot and that didn’t seem to diminish after each use.
It provides an amazingly close shave which keeps my legs smoother much longer. I also love that they feel nourished and hydrated after.
Fabulous product! I highly recommend and will use again!

#Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry.
I was excited to be chosen to try this product. I have never tried a razor that lathers before. This was the perfect product for my trailer. I brought it up last weekend and gave it a try in our tiny shower. First of all, I love the smell of it. It smells great. I was impressed with the lather and it gave me a really clean shave. The best part was not having to have shower gel and the razor – we have limited space, so it’s nice that it’s all together and easy to pack in my bag. I’m glad it came with a refill for the blades, that’s always something I look for when buying razors. Great product. I recommend it!

#Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product. which is also a contest entry. I have been a Schick Intuition fan for years!! As a mo of 3 very busy kids I never seem to have the time to take care of my basic needs like shaving!! With the help of Schick Intuition I only need a few minutes of peace to have my legs read to hit the beach with our little darlings!!. Our 10 yr old just started to shave this summer. I find that this razor has taken away the fear of her cutting herself as it glides over her legs without a nick!!! Thanks 5 Minutes For Mom and Schick for the amazing freebie that is a staple in our household!! 🙂

The Schick Intuition razor is a wonderful product that takes the fuss out of shaving. No more feeling the stubble on my legs to see if I can go just one more day, no more worries about running out of shaving gel, no more fuss! It’s cleaner, neater, takes far less time and encourages me to shave, I will be sticking with this product. Thank you to Schick & to 5 Minutes for Mom.
gayle bellemare says
I forgot to mention that this razor leaves your legs soft and well moisturized, no dryness.

#Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback on the product, which is also a contest entry:
I was fortunate to be selected as one of the testers of this product. After reading the other posts, I feel as though I may be one of the few who did not like this razor. It claims to save time by not needing to lather up before shaving but I actually spent more time with this razor as it is bulky and I missed so many spots the first time around, I ended up going over my legs a few times! Even after all of that, I still didn’t feel that it was a close shave. Also, after using the razor only three times, I found that I got horrible razor burn.
My normal razor is made by Schick, so the company does make great products, I just did not feel that this is one of them and I certainly don’t feel that this should be marketed to “moms” as a time-saver.

This past week we have had two small grand boys visiting. Two of our little wolves, as we call them. It has been a fantastic visit and a treat to be able to spend such quality time. With all the activity, and believe me there was lots of activity, I was lucky to have a few minutes to myself to get ready! I was so happy to receive my new Schick Intuition razor just in time to get ready for all the fun. #Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback opn the product, which is also an contest entry on 5 Minutes for Mom. – Tucked in all the goings about, I was able to try my new Schick Intuition razor. It was such a pleasure to use. First, it fit really comfortably in my hand, I did not feel like I was going to drop it. On the top there is a delicately scented lathering bar built around the razor. You run it under water to start and then just shave. It was fast and so smooth you couldn’t really tell there was a razor attached. I had to feel my legs to see if it was working 😀 I am now ready for any pool side activity!

I am so glad I was picked as one of the fifty to try this razor out. During the summer I always have to shave everyday which is a pain, so when I got this razor I was excited to try it. I just ran it under the water and shaved. No nicks or cuts (which I usually get around my knees) just smooth legs. I got such a close shave I didn’t have to do it the next day. Also I really liked the scent I got, coconut milk and almond oil. Smelled so nice. So easy to use and less time consuming. I was pleasantly surprised by this razor and it will become my go to razor for my busy summer days.

I was lucky to be selected as a product tester and I am so happy that I was selected! The Schick intuition Effect is a very unassuming little razor. I am fairly klutzy when I’m getting ready for work in the morning so I am used to applying shaving cream and using undue care so as not to nick myself. To be honest I didn’t really expect too much on my first go. I was pleasantly surprised to see the results after a few strokes. I didn’t think anything was actually happening because it didn’t ‘feel’ like I was actually shaving. After I finished my left leg I was shocked at the results! Smooth and nick free! Convenience! I was so happy with this razor that I purchased one for my teenager daughter. Thank you 5 Minutes for Mom for bringing the intuition effect to our house!

#Gotitfree in exchange for my honest feedback , which is also a contest entry.I like that I have more time to just sock in the tub without having lather shave then moisturizer my legs . The razor does it all in one pass. My legs are nice and smooth and no cuts or nicks. Comes with a handy hanger to stick it on the wall. Over all would give it a 10 out of 10.

Review for Schick Intuition Effect
Marjorie Roy says
Gotitfree in back on the product, which is also a contest entry.
Many thanks for the chance to review this amazing razor. I would have to say it is the best I have used.
The price is right because it also comes with 4 extra blades. I do shy away from fragrant products because the fragrance of some is so powerful, however, the
coconut milk and almond oil were just right and not overwhelming. The razors do the job. The later and shave
in one is outstanding and you time. I loved it and will definitely buy once the 4 extra blades have been used.
And yes, I did say 4 extra blades.
