Why would my razor need a scented handle....

[maddiemookins16mum]

Just picked up some lady razors in Tesco, at the check out I noticed they have a scented handle!! Citrus scented no less* They smell like orange jelly worms.
What is the world coming to!!!

*exhibit A attached for proof of this ridiculousness

The razor I can smell (for clarity sakes)

I can only smell my disgusting lady smells as my razors are non-scented.

[Madbengalmum]

Why indeed. And OMFG scented tampons? They sound like a health crisis waiting to happen.

[MrsSellors]

For the busy woman who doesn't have time to do deodorant, shave the pits with one end then freshen with the other. And if you have done your legs and got the scent on your hands rub your palms on your neck for perfume

Perfectly obvious if you ask me

[specialsubject]

Buy the bloke ones. Hair is hair!

[EvansAndThePrince]

I also have nothing to add but a thank you for that clarification, I also laughed out loud

[BoneyBackJefferson]

the men's razors smell of a blend of spearmint, citrus and rosemary.

[Porg]

Don't smell your husband's razors, you may grow a penis!

[Porg]

You mean the manly razors that actually work? I would rather forgo the citrus smelling loveliness if it means that I can have razors that don't rip me to pieces.

[TweeterandtheMonkeyman]

Thank you maddiemookins your "clarification" post re. the smell from your bathroom drawers has been the first thing to make me laugh out loud on Mumsnet for bloody ages

[Thingmcthingyface]

Nothing to add here except to join the chorus of FFS!

[PepsiPenguin]

Am thinking of sniffing DP razors to see if they smell of man stuff, but fear I may faint being a delicate little flower of a lady

[FlyingElbows]

Manly man razors smell of "stealth" "power" and "fusion". We can't smell them because we are weak. And laydees.

[Mistoffelees]

I wouldn't recognise any of those scents to be honest Breakfast being a lady and all, I have avoided all situations that would involve those things.

[BorpBorpBorp]

The successful modern lady is lithe and agile enough to shave off what little body hair she grows with the handle of the razor stuck up her nose, leaving her hands free for doily knitting.

Hence the need for scented razors.

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

Do they have different scents for the manly Man razors?
I'm assuming they smell of engine oil, chewing tobacco and horse sweat

[Mistoffelees]

Bic do scented razors too, they're a godsend for me actually as I used to spend ages in Superdrug wandering up and down the aisles searching for ladies razors, now my sensitive lady nose leads the way and I don't accidentally end up with those horrid manly razors.

[BestZebbie]

I think that anything citrus-scented in particular is probably trying to suggest that it is Clean & Hygienic, like Jif and washing-up liquid. :-)

[SherlockPotter]

I guess it smells better than the floral scent from sanitary towels... What do the men's ones smell of?

[HateSummer]

What in the hell? Why? I never buy "women's" razors. Why would the handles need to be scented though? I can imagine if they had a scented jelly thing above the blade part...but handles? Wtf?

[Feilin]

Buy a mooncup instead of tampons . However the scented razors I have utterly no advice for.....

[HappyAxolotl]

But they aren't pink and don't have "lady" printed on them! How do we know they are laydee razors for laydee gardens?

I wonder if blokes would buy them unawares and exposure to laydee perfume will make their bits fall off?

[Effendi]

I misread and thought you said scented candle,doh!

[MothertotheLordsofmisrule]

It's so your hand smells and therefore people know you have shaved, thus conforming to social expectations of female hair levels.

I have no idea why the handle has to be scented.
It's probably a gimmick [narrows eyes in thought]

[hollie11]

Maybe they got confused in the product development meeting.....scented handle/scented candle. Easy mistake to make. explains why I have razors in candle holders on the mantlepiece
