Legs, arm pits, and pubes
Women, here's a review for us:
Or for anyone else who shaves their arm pits, legs, and pubic region.
I can't say enough about this razor. I have been using this type of razor for two weeks now and really enjoy it. I used to use Venus razors but I could never tell when they were done, and they are so expensive so naturally I would use one for a month or longer, like a dencent lady working on a budget. My boyfriend made the switch almost a year ago and I figured I'd give it a go.
I read reviews, specifically from women and heard things like no razor bumps and closest shave, and I can attest that the rumors are true. Since using the razor my arm pit bumps are nearly gone. I can't say for my bikini line just yet. As for closest shave, it really depends on the blades you use - I got a variety pack and still haven't quite found my blade.
Now for making the switch and how to not cut yourself. The first time I used this type of razor I didn't cut myself. If you go slow, pay attention, and use it like any other razor you'll be fine. There are numerous tutorial videos you can watch if you feel uneasy. I got cocky on my second shave and nicked my knee, which is possible with any razor. I just shave in the shower and use a bar of soap, but just because life on a budget.
I could tell the moment my blade got dull too. But so you have an idea: 1 double edge razor for legs, one leg for each side, and one dbl blade will get about 4-5 days of arm pit shaves. The long handle one was suggested and I must say I fully agree. They're about 4" long. Good luck!
