Hey just looking for some recommendations, doing my daughter a beauty hamper for Christmas and was going to put her a little shaver in as she starting get under arms and aakomg to start shaving them but unsure what the best one is for girls?

The Wilkinson Intiuition is excellent. Big handle so easy to hold. Clean shave without knicks.

Are you sure it wouldn't be better for to wait for your daughter to ask for something like this? My dd ( now 15) wasn't bothered about underarm hair ( still isn't). She occasionally gets me to wax her legs ( she's quite dark haired) and I am happy to help her / provide all the stuff for her to begin this kind of self-care but what I did not want to do was let her think it was something she had to do. Her own mum giving her this stuff unsolicited might give an unfortunate message.

I think she is asking to start shaving (at least that is how I read the typo in OPs message).

I agree with you in principal though @DeadbeatYoda - I know quite a few adolescent girls who are happily hairy these days.

I was going to say this. Wait for her to ask for it. Never give girls a message that they HAVE to be hairless.

@WildCherryBlossom
Yes, looking at the typo again, I think you're right. It looks like it might have meant 'she asked me'.
