    Are there any women's razors that are actually more effective/more suited than men's, or is it all just marketing...?

    Obviously companies know women will pay more for personal care items than men, I wouldn't be surprised if they were all the same and just jacked up the costs for women.

    The womens blades are different, there's more cushioning as women tend to use their razors for some more...sensitive areas.

    Really? I've used both types on legs and more "sensitive" areas and to be totally honest, as long as the blade's new, I've never noticed a difference..

    I got the embrase there at the weekend - the razor and 4 blades €12.99 in my local chemist. They were also doing the same deal for the Venus Divine and the Venus Vibrance.

    I hate womens razors. I always find men's razors waaaay cheaper and more effective!

    Hi girls, just on the topic of razors and such, what's the best way to shave "down there" without getting a rash? I don't want to get waxed as am overweight and heard it doesn't work as well [very painful] as skin is more elasticy and gets pulled. So it's shaving for me! Is there any cream or something you can use after shaving to eliminate shaving rash?

    Aloe vera cream is meant to be good and I think it was here I read before about spraying deodrant? :eek: A trick used by gymnasts and swimmers or something? :confused:
