best tool for shaving?
| Wed, 07-05-2006 - 2:52pm |
Hi,
I'm in the market for a new shaver; I don't shave completely but pretty much (I leave a strip) and the one I have just isn't cutting it anymore (it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000BY85E/qid=1152125428/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-3620146-0853465?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=3760901). I think that's mostly because it's old but it also never really shaved that closely. I was wondering if anyone has something that they can recommend? I'm scared of the ones that rip your hair out (like electric leg shavers) because I think that would be too painful and I don't really have more than $30 to spend but I want something that really takes the hair off, not just cuts it down a lot.
Any suggestions?

No, I don't believe I was. And I would heed a skin professonal's opinion over a survey any day.
Most studies are initiated by the major Razor companies themselves, like Schick and consequently, are designed to benefit them by promoting the higher-priced items they're selling. They make more money that way. I used to do Market Research years ago.
You might also be interested to know that you can purchase MULTI-blade disposables which can be a little pricier but they need NO cleaning since they're thrown away. Ensuring a cleaner, closer shave every time.
Even Shick makes disposables. But no, they aren't all single blade. Mine actually have 2 blades.
But the OP can make her own decision. She can test several and decide which works best for her. Spending lots of money isn't necessary for a smooth shave though. As I said before, I've tried them all over the years and that was my conclusion.

Looking forward to reading this topic when I saw the head line. However, i waas a little
disappointed to see it getting a little testy over a razor! (Cyber Cat Fight?)
Shaved my wife for the first time about 10 days ago. I was very nervous.
After reading a few posts and getting the link from some one (was it Jazz?) for the site "goingdownfurther",
http://midniterambler2002-ivil.tripod.com/goingdownfurther/
I bought Coochy Cream from a local penthouse boutique and I bought a Venus Vibrate at Walmart. Worked very well. God was i nervous, my hands were shaking. plan to give it a try again this week
"Cyber Cat fight?" Uh, hardly. It's called a difference of opinion and those can happen on this board. But with no fur flying or scratching involved, hardly a cat fight.
But frankly, I'm not sure what "tool" you CAN shave with other than a razor of some sort.
