I use men’s razor, the same kind my husband uses actually, which lead to the constant bickering of “did you use my razor?”, which lead to the argument of whose hair is coarser, my leg’s or his face’s. I am happy to announce that we have left this battle behind and moved on to other more pointless ones. I am using women’s razors again because they finally made one powerful enough for me, the Venus from Gillette. I want 4 blades or 5 blades or however many blades he has, why can’t I get the same treatment in razors? I don’t want these dinky, cutesie, gel infused, contour shavers that contours itself out of shaving all my hair. I don’t need my razor to look “lady like”, I want one that works. The Venus has 5 blades, yes count them, 5!! It is contoured and has the gel around the edges which does add some benefits. I am not against these things, I just don’t want them to distract from the job of shaving. Instead of having the tiny strip of the shaving gel right above the blades, this razor has it all around the outer frame so the gel has a chance to get on the skin surface instead of just going directly into clogging the blades. I still used shower cream when I shaved, somehow I just don’t have enough confidence in the gel alone. The slight contour does make it easier for that part of the leg next to the shin that is curved, a totally straight razor would require a couple of passes there. When you buy the initial package, it comes with one extra razor and a handy holder and dispenser that suctions on your shower wall. No more rusty blades causes by razors sitting on a wet surface. No more razor mix ups but more importantly, I am getting a great shave that leaves my legs totally smooth.This new razor launches on Feb. 12, you can get it at Drugstore.com
