Ladies Razors - Which one do you use?

Pandoras Twist

As the title says, which brand of razor would you use, and how often do you use it for?

I use the pink disposable Wilkinson Sword ones with the 3 blades, and I'm trying to figure out how long they should really be used for. You can always get the "just one more" out of them but just wondering what other Boardsies do?

I personally bought the male gillette fusion after i borrowed the OH rasor one night when i didn't have any! Tis fab!! The smoooothist shave!

I used to use the Venus range up until about a year ago when I ran outta blades and nicked one of my boyfriends new Mach 3 blades, they are an identical fit to the Venus handles and the blades last 2 or 3 times longer than any of the Venus ones I had. Then after them I skipped over to the men's Fusion ones they are hands down the best razor.

lol bascially if you want a decent razor buy one meant/aimed for men

I just buy any old disposable, 'cause I really only use 'em in an emergency! More fond of Veet myself. I'd pretty much say you can keep trying to use 'em for as long as you like, but the blade will go blunt after so much use and you'll just get a bad shave. I'd say chuck them when that little strip thing wears off.

Personally I find the disposable ones rip the shins off me (sorry but it's true..ouch!) so stick with the Venus one, the blue one. Dead handy and suits me well.

Try to avoid them except in an emergency but would always choose the Wilkinson 'intuition' one when I need to. Find all of the others much too harsh; have weirdly delicate skin on my legs:/

I use the gilette two blade mens disposable razors, the ones in the blue bag. I never by ladies razors, they don't shave half as well and they're far far too expensive I find.

+1 womens razors are useless and are far too expensive. I use the mens ones too...think i have Gillette Mach 3 or something along that line. Ive used the same blade for ages ive forgotten what its called.:p

Jaysis, same as, i use the fella's mach 3, they are the smoothest shave ever!! Why cant they make ladies razors the same way!!

I don't know why I never thought of using men's razors before but after reading this I think I'll be trying one out.

I use the Venus razor at the mo, but not finding it great.

I have the venus one and a remington electric one that lazy me is using a lot recently with the hot weather....the OH has started to complain about the legs though as although they look hairless, they don't feel it....

As regards the ladies ones being more expensive - I remember an accountant told me once that ladies hair removal products (and sanitary goods) are deemed to be a luxury and have a different tax to the male "necessary" equivalents....now I dunno if he was winding me up, but I've always remembered that remark...just thought it was bizarre that someone decided that hair removal for women was a luxury...

Thank God I'm not the only one that's a Gilette Fusion convert after needing to use the OH's one one day they are the business, it's pretty much usurped the Venus razor's place. I find it's especially good for my legs because I seem to have what seems to be some species of cactus embedded into my skin!

Good quality, mid-priced disposable men's razor.

I find that any razor with wires on it is a waste of money. But go too cheap, and you'll pay the price too.
