What razor do you use?

I’ve always used cheap disposables but couldn’t find it to hand today and used DH’s Mach 3. It was bloody brilliant-such a close shave!

I’ve just been looking-why is there no metal lady equivalent? Why are they all plastic?

I suppose I could just buy another Mach 3, but then we won’t know whose is whose.

Does anyone not use a disposable and what do you use?

you could get the mach 3 but use sharpie on one of them so you can tell which is which.

I have recently bought a laser hair remover but before that I always used gillette Venus swirl

Sickenedbyguilt · 27/11/2018 20:51

Gillette Venus the pink one, I can’t use any other I get shave rash Angry just buy the refills when needed

I use mach 3. I've not found anything better

yips · 27/11/2018 21:26

I use the one from dollar shave club. I'd never use a women's razor again after trying men's!

User5trillion · 27/11/2018 21:27

Google double edged razor, they are what men used before gillette. I use my dhs and its brilliant really really sharp and cheap. No nasty single use plastic. I use conditioner as a shaving gel.

Branleuse · 27/11/2018 21:27

Mach 3 turbo is better

I bought a cheap safety razor handle, and use a fresh blade in it each time. Almost no plastic waste and a new blade every time gives a really smooth shave, even when it's been a few weeks.

witchy89 · 27/11/2018 21:31

I use a bamboo handled safety razor, you just buy the blades (literally a double sided blade, they are lethal!) and you replace it every few shaves. The handles are cheap enough and you can bulk buy the blades, I think I got 100 blades for like £7 or something. So much less plastic. I have recently had to buy some replacement blades for my old retired Venus razor though because I'm so pregnant at the moment and you do not want to be blindly trimming away down there with a safety razor! (No idea why they are called that!!!!)

BuffaloCauliflower · 27/11/2018 21:32

I use a Superdrug own brand men’s 5 blade razor with replaceable head’s. I’ve used men’s razors for years, there’s no 5 blade women’s ones.

HundredMilesAnHour · 27/11/2018 21:36

I always use Wilkinson Sword's Intuition. Really handy not needing foam or anything.

I've also bought an Intuition F.A.B. (forwards and backwards) razor but haven't tried it yet.

Belmo · 27/11/2018 21:38

I’ve got my eye on a lovely metal muhle one from Babipur- bit spendy though.

itsbritneybiatches · 27/11/2018 21:46

My husbands mach 3

OHolyNightOwl · 27/11/2018 21:47

My husband's and oh boy does it piss him off! It is a hundred times better than any other razor I have tried though.

OhComeOnRon · 27/11/2018 21:51

Mach 3 - we have one each Smile nothing better

Branleuse · 27/11/2018 22:21

Women are allowed to buy mens razors

slothandsloth · 27/11/2018 22:27

Gillette Fusion 5. The one in the shower is for my legs and the one in the cabinet above the sink is for DH's face Grin

BonnieF · 27/11/2018 22:30

I’m using bic Flex3 (men’s, obv) at the moment. They are very good, and a fraction of the price of Gillette.

Women are allowed to buy mens razors

Indeed, but like my first post says-it would look exactly the same as DH’s which could get confusing.

I just think the razor companies are missing a trick here. With girl Lego on the market , you’d think they would come up with a ladies’ metal razor!

I know this is beside you he point but if there's anything in the house that could be confused with someone else's, I paint part of it in nail varnish

slothandsloth · 27/11/2018 23:38

Why do you need a woman's razor? The ones on the market do a good job. Them not being pink really doesn't matter to me. Just buy a different brand to your DH, I'm sure they're mostly the same once you buy the branded 3 or 5 blade ones.

slothandsloth · 27/11/2018 23:38

Sorry, that came across a lot harsher than intended Smile

KringleBells · 28/11/2018 17:34

Superdrug Female Razor with 5 blade refills.

It has a massive lubristrip round the whole head that lasts as long as the blades do.

KringleBells · 28/11/2018 17:35

It’s blue, it’s not tested on animals and it;s pretty cheap.
