Whatz the best razor?!?!
 
I have really sensitive skin and i need a good razor! The best one ive found is the intuition, but i was wondering if anyone knew of a better one? :confused:

Shick's Intuition is by far the best I've ever come across, but I've never tried any electrical ones (or do you just mean of the disposable kind?)

All I know is razors are so damn expensive these days I can hardly afford to shave anything. It's like the less hair that it is fashionable to have the more the price of razors go up. Do I see a trend here??

I use a Venus and I have way sensitive skin. My thoughts though are its not really the razor but the shaving cream you use, unless you use something like the Intuition that has stuff already in it, but the razor doesn't matter.

hihii...no shit, seems that way...

i use a Mach3 Turbo...with a dull blade because at 17 euro for an 8-pk, i cannot afford to buy more until bf's payday...


regarding the thread -

Aveeno Shave Gel is the best shit imo. it's all i'll use when shaving my 'delicate bits'.

:)

Razorz are hecka expensive! so are thier refills! I couldn't believe when the venus first came out! who wantz to pay 8 dollarz for a razor? For shave gel i used skintimate! I dunno whatz the best tho!

haha, i got a free venus in the mail.. i've been using it for a while and the blade still hasn't gotten dull. its awesome. on the side i use... i think its the one that came right before venus. that works great, too.

and i have really sensitive skin, too, and i've found that if you put lotion on right after shaving anything, not just bikini lines, it helps a whole lot.

Venus is the way to go. They are stupidly expensive for the blade replacement but they last forever! Well worth the extra money in my opinion.

BrinlyNoya 08-04-2003 12:27 PM

I use venus, but have heard so many awesome things about the intuition. I can't bring myself to buy it though, everytime I would shave with it I would be reminded of how badly Jewel sold out. :( haha

galaxygirl 08-04-2003 04:23 PM

I had been using the Venus, but I find it hard to use to shave my pubic region - the handle is too big or something. i8 introduced me to the Mach3, and I like that one. He also recommends copious amounts of shaving cream. I thought he just liked lathering me up, but from what you've all said, I guess it's the way its done. :) Somewhere along the line I missed out on learning all this girly stuff. Too busy being a hairy feminist at the time I guess, lol.

I have really sensitive skin, but haven't had as much trouble after shaving since I started using Aveeno shaving cream and Venus blades.

Janie 08-05-2003 10:15 AM

I use men's razors. I guess since they're made for someone's face, they are easier on the skin. As for shave gel, I don't use any. But I do soak myself in hot soapy water to soften the hair before I do any actual shaving.

Woah! It's kinda bad for your skin if you always shave without gel.. more knicks and cuts. eep!

I love the skintimate shave gel.. and my razor of choice is the Gillette Sensor Excel for Women.

Soft, no slip grip. And refills are not so expensive.

Well, shave gel is really expensive, and the reason it's used is because it softens the hair you're about to shave and lubricates/moisturizes your skin, making for an easier shave and less nicks. If I can do the same with liquid soap and water, then I'm saving my money for other things. I have tried Aveeno gel, and it was nice, but just too expensive to use all the time.

yoshi 08-06-2003 02:24 PM

I use Venus and the Intuition. I like them both. They both work well. With the intuition, it's nice to have the stuff already on the blade, they also have that for sensitive skin.

Jonsgirl 08-07-2003 08:50 PM

I'm with yoshi on this one. I use both. Also, I've found if you use Jergen's Naturally Smooth lotion everyday that the hair is easier to shave and doesn't grow back as fast. It's the shit!

Molly Moon 08-14-2003 09:58 AM

I've used a Mach 3 since they came out. The husband convinced me to give up my disposable razors in favor of it and I've never looked back.

Pricey? Yes. But worth it when you figure in how much you are saving on bandaids.

Forget shaving cream too, shaving gel is much better and the sensetive skin ones are the best. Has anyone besides me noticed that the men's shaving gels are (1) cheaper and (2) usually have bonus amounts in them?

Double D 08-16-2003 09:29 AM

I'm still in disposable land with the Gillette Good News razors. Everytime I try something that is made for women, I get cut :( .
I always use Skintimate shave gel as well.
