What kind of razor do you use?



Recommended Posts

I'm so tired of buying razors that constantly nik my legs. What do you use? I have to shave everyday so I'm not sure that those creams will work. I've tried different shaving creams to go along with these razors!!

I haev bought both expensive and generic and nothing works.

I actually use a men's razor. Mach 3 I believe. I am highly allergic to shaving cream so I have tried everything as well. What seems to work the best for me is called coochy cream it is a shaving cream from athenas home novelties. It's the best.

The creams work, but they STINK. Yuck. Even if they claim to smell like a fresh meadow full of daisies in full bloom with a chocolate cake in te middle, it doesn't. Don't go hunting, just open the window and embrace the smelliness.

I've found that I really like that new Venus razor that has the shaving gel in it- the Breeze. It's simple and I don't get nicks because it automatically adds a layer of skin protection before I shave an area.

I use the ladies Quattro (sp?). At the moment I can't think who makes it. I also use hair conditioner rather than shaving cream and it leaves your skin silky smooth.

I second coochy cream. I love that stuff.

I thought I was the only one who did that! But it is so much cheaper than shaving cream and does the job. As for my razor, I use DH's mach 3

I use intuition as well and love, love, love it! I'm really lazy when it comes to shaving so this is perfect for me! No creams, gels just pick it up and start shaving!

I use Shampoo on my legs, seems almost ironic, lol. But with my hair, I don't spend much on shampoo, the conditioner is where I put my money. Therefore I don't want to use the expensive conditioner on my legs. Then I use olay for all over body wash.

For razor, I dated a bodybuilder (who got me interested in it for a while, best shape of my life, until I fell back into depression) he suggested the Mach 3. It is awesome! I've never been nicked since using it. I use it even in intimate areas.

having had major cellulitus problems in the past I am not allowed to shave my legs add to that diabetes and any kind of grooming that could cause injury I am told to avoid.

So I started looking for alternatives to shaving 13 years ago when told this by my dr.

99% odf the cream *hair removers* are a joke. they work somewhat but usually take 2-3 applications which can be really damaging to the skin.

The only 2 that I found I can use with any reliability is surgi cream and I ONLY buy it when I can't get my favorite Magic shave. Magic shave is really awesome but hard to find its a product that is sold where you find products for (No insult intended I never know what terms are PC) black/african american peoples hair products. I find it at the local dollar store. But its often out of stock. So when I can catch it I buy 2-3 tubes.

Comes in 2 strenghts doesnt stink as bad as most other products and really works well. I can even use it in the bikini area without it burning my skin.

My BF who has REALLY Sensitive skin has done a spot test on his face with good results but has yet to try it. If he lets his facial hair grow o ut for 2 days or more (Like not shaving on a 3 day weekend) His face will break out and ooze almost like blister Patches. So he is really carefull about what he puts on his skin and he HAS to shave every day to avoid this..

I use Magic Shave powder on my girly bits and it works fab. Otherwise, I use the Schick Quattro or my dh's Mach 3.

How long does the hair stay gone? I have bought that for my DH. They have one specifically for bald styles. He shaves his head once a week to hide that he is going bald. He wouldn't try it.:) I may take it and try it on my legs. :rolleyes:

Do you get any type of rash from using it? I haven't found a way to get rid of hair on my girly bits without getting awful hair bumps.:rolleyes: I've tried shaving and even a hair cream that was supposedly just for the bikini area. :)

slim, if you shave it regularly and use a sharp razor, you'll avoid the bumps. Using shaving cream or a heavy conditioner helps, too. That coochie stuff everyone raves about it just a heavy conditioner. :)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
