Why do you like your shaving razor?

[fwan]

Is that how you spell it rare puss?
because im looking it up adn i cant find it! it just comes up with firearms

I use the Venus as I have not cut myself once since I started to use it. Of course we could have a whole thread devoted to frequency of shaving.
However the unibrow on my face gets waxed.

I haven't used a razor for almost 2 years!!! I finally switched to an epilator and love it!! I really got tired of shaving every other day and also accidently cutting myself with razors while "attempting" to shave. I know people think epilators must hurt because they yank the hair out by the root, but I really think it doesn't hurt unless you've got some super, thick tough hair.

I hate shaving and waxing as I get ingrown hairs

I also find shaving such a bore but yeah, it's nice when my legs feel smooth afterwards.

I use Venus Devine

 

[fwan]

people used to think i was crazy for using the epilator under my arms...
but its not good for my legs coz i get ingrowns quick same with waxing

nothing is good for my legs!

and yes i have super thick hair on the rest of my body but not my head!

 

[gilly]

Oh yeah, I did own an epilator but gave it away. I was far too chicken to use it! hee

But it takes a while, it takes 2 appointments to finish both legs

most salons here have "electrolysis" - is that what you mean Fwan?

What are you trying to say about my hair?! I used to use an epilator when I was younger, as my mother didn't believe in shaving. Still doesn't. I hated that thing, I remember crying while using it. After that she started sending me to get my legs waxed and that hurt too. So then I snuck around and bought my own razors.

I'd love to look into a wet/dry shaver but I'd probably get one that wasn't so good, knowing my luck.

why doesnt your mother believe in shavers but in epilators and waxers?

I had no idea about your prior experience when I made my post. Sorry to hear you don't like epilators. They're not for everyone. All I know is when I use my epilator the sensation feels more like a massage than a strong, shooting pain. When I use it, it's always after bathing. The hairs pull out easier. It's a $25 Remington model I bought at Kmart.

Maybe that's where I was going wrong... I used it before taking a bath/shower. Hmm...

Fwan... I have no idea. I think my mom still believes that myth that if you shave, your hair will grow back thicker.

Well when I shaved, my hair grew back thick and black looking, BLAH. My mom tried to get me to change my mind at first. I always cut my legs everytime. It was just the way my leg was.

I just wanted to say that because of this thread I went to the site and ordered my free razor and it just came in the mail yesterday---OMG it is the BEST thing ever!!!

(sorry, just had to share!)

 

[fwan]

I've found with their razors that my hair gets caught up in the little wires that coat them. Perhaps I have monster hairs though

Any downsides that you ladies have experienced with them?

 

[kiwideus]

My hairs are ultra fine so thats probably why I dont have any problem - Jake thinks I dont need to shave my legs as you cant see the hairs but you know, I know they are there and I gotta shave them!
