I did quite extensive testing with the Schick Hydro 3. I found it to be a quite nice cartridge razor, that gave me very smooth shaves.
If you have sensitive skin that is prone to acne, and razor burn, you are much better off with fewer blades, as this will mean less irritation.
There is ZERO benefit in having any blades above two (some would argue above ONE). You are simply paying extra money, and receiving no additional benefit, and in fact very likely will get more irritation from the extra blades.
While the Hydro 3 is a good razor, you can get results that are just as good with a Gillette Trac II, Gillette Atra, or Gillette Sensor (the two bladed cartridge razors).
If you find irritation, and razor burn to be a serious problem, you are probably best served with a single blade option such as a Double Edge razor, or a Schick Injector.

Alright so the Schick Hydro 3 is better than the Schick Hydro 5 in my case/situation?
Well to be honest, the Hydro 3 is better than the Hydro 5 in EVERY SITUATION as 5 blades is serious overkill.
Give the bic metal single blade a try. only a blade and a metal safety bar.
i found it nice and smooth without all the extras (fins, springs, slick material) of the multiblade cartridges that I didn't want.
i used during the end of August for multipass shaves and although I wasn't going for BBS, only DFS, my skin wasn't irritated.
gotta try one those hydros
