For all the ladies out there - do not fear - you can be manly too!
I'm a woman and have been shaving for about 30 years. When I grew up, my mom had those pink disposable one blade razors. Those would last a shave or two and then we'd chuck them in the landfill. Honestly, I didn't know any better.
Fast forward to today. I finally settled into the bath tub with my new Vikings Blade razor and some frothy manly shaving soap (in almond). I was scared. Why? Because every damn forum where men are talking about these razors they keep saying BE CAREFUL, you might kill yourself. Clearly they are not very experienced because I shaved it all. I did; I shaved it all for science. Except between my cheeks (and since I don't shave my face I'm sure we're all on board with what I mean).
I found no difficulty or danger in shaving my legs. The secret was a good lather and no pressure on the razor head. And I shaved against the grain which must be some kind of man no-no, but it works fine for my legs.
As I moved on to more ... sensitive parts ... I proceeded with caution. Lots of lather and shaving with the grain first, then against the grain. There was no issue. Took my time and everything is as smooth as a baby's butt. This razor definitely was able to handle thick underbrush with ease, unlike my old razor which gets clogged up and takes forever to clear.
Ladies, you must have this razor. MUST. Not only are you saving the environment of all those plastic razors and razor heads, but you're only going to pay about 10 cents per refill.
I love it!!!! Where have you been all my life?????
Edit: Shave #2 went lightning fast! Used the same blade again. I'm guessing this blade will cover about 3 FULL (the whole deal) shaves and probably numerous leg shaves.
My bestie (female) has ordered one and my teen is eyeballing my razor! I'm going to let her try it out and if she likes it, she's getting one!
