Review- Schick Intuition Plus Razor


New! Enhanced moisturizing solid 4 blades
lathers, shaves & moisturizes in one easy step leaving your skin noticeably softer. $9.99


I have a strong commitment to using "some kind of" shaving cream item after some missteps in that department along the way of my twenty-five year shaving career. I was admittedly doubtful that this slightly clunky item could provide enough slip while removing the hair off of my legs. But it works great and the weight and size of the razor is surprisingly adept at maneuvering around knees and ankles. Four blades or no, I haven't had much of a notable difference with more or less blades but with four, the shave is, of course, really close and there have been no errant swipes that have caused any nicks or cuts thus far. I haven't needed to replace the extra cartridge that comes with your purchase (meaning I have gotten a solid two weeks out of each one) yet but I plan to. This razor is better than good for its sheer innovation of combining the cream with the razor and making my shower a place where "less is more" reigns free.


Trish Says: In the past I've always used men's razors (two blades were all I could handle) because for the most part they seemed to work slightly better than our female counterparts. I have to say though, the ladies have won out on this Schick Intuition Plus razor! It was so gentle to use and soft on the skin, I wasn't even sure I was shaving at all. It really worked that well and with four blades too. Needless to say, I am surprised and happy that finally a razor built for women works for women. No nicks and accidental slips and the curves seem to fit just right. Most importantly I got a clean and close shave that left my skin feeling softer and smoother because of the moisturizer - something the men's blades were lacking - and it's nice to finally have a product that works for the ladies just as well, if not more gentler and nicer.
Yay for the ladies all around!

Review - Bic Soleil Citron Pivot Shavers


  • Citrus scented handles.
  • Lubricating strips with shea butter. 4 count - $5.99


  • Every time I shave my legs, it's not a fun time for me. Not that I cut myself, that rarely happens unless I'm half asleep or stupidly rushing my way through the business. But what I find is, I have fuzzy spots even when I'm thorough, and even worse, my skin gets sore and stingy, and even bumpy. I'm not a hairy person by any means, so I can't fathom why this happens. I've used other ridiculously expensive fancy shavers specifically for women, and I've had no luck. But these Bic Soleil Citron shavers are like magic on my legs. It's not often that I go telling my friends and female family members about razors of all things, but I've got to tell you, this is by far the best shaver I've ever used. I'm hooked and I will never use another unless (god forbid) they stop making them. I highly recommend these to sensitive girls out there.

    Review- Gillette Venus Vibrance Soothing Vibrations Razor


    · One Venus Vibrance razor, one shaving compact, and one "AAA" battery
    · Features multiple lubrastrips that ensure a smooth glide and gentle shave
    · Primary strip contains aloe, botanical oils, and special ingredient "TONE" to gently exfoliate and moisturize
    · Soothing vibrations can result in fewer nicks and cuts; includes one "AAA" battery
    · Shaving compact ideal for mounting in the shower or for traveling
    I got one of these little numbers as a holiday gift (you know, stocking stuffer sort of thing) and I absolutely just had to write about it because I am just... well I'm just confused. It's a razor that vibrates. YEA, it vibrates. I'm not sure it vibrates a whole lot, I could feel it sometimes, then other times not, but it really does.... vibrate. yea. I'm confounded because I am not sure how this translates into a clean shave, and I am the queen of accidental nicks and razorburn so I pride myself on razor safety and knowhow. I didn't cut myself, but it wasn't any more special than any other razor I've used that's touted itself as super close, soft skin, safe shaver etc etc. But it's just so weird that it vibrates I had to tell the world about it, and I frankly don't know why it does. If anyone can explain please get in touch.
    All in all, it's a regular razor, but for over $10, it's an expensive everyday razor.
