High cost of shaving your legs My 18 yr old asked me today to pick up some blades for her venus razor. One pack of replacement blades was over 20 dollars!! What happened to th 5 dollar blades??? It seems like the cost of shaving is so HIGH!!! My husband and I use the Mach 3 and I love them. Most disposible cause razor burn. What do you guys use? I am looking for an affordable alternative. My sd said she would try the Veet lotion it is 8 bucks. Not sure how this will work, work out or even if she will use it so it could just be a waste of money. Looking forward to your ideas:coffee_n_ |
I use the daisy razor's i have REALLY sensitive skin & there great VERY smooth afterward's Make sure it's these http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...A280_SH20_.jpg I bought a pack quick that looked like this & there aweful ! |
Oh I know, it's ridiculous. I saw this last night TV ad thing for a razor sharpener for blades for all razors. It was $10 bucks. Says it expands the life of your razor blade. Wonder if it's really worth it. Every time I've tried the Veet or at home hair removal things, they've never worked. I've thought about getting a waxing but never have. I hate disposables too, hurt. |
I've found that the disposable razors (I get the multi colored pack, I don't know the brand) and hair condition do just as well on my legs. :p When it first came out I used the Nad's hair removal stuff on one strip of my leg. On the plus side I haven't had hair grow back there since. On the negative side it hurt so d*** bad that I couldn't make myself do it again. :rolleyes: |
? Laser hair removal, may be worth the money when you factor purchasing razors for the next 45 years! |
I used Nair for legs and I loved it, but it took too much time (that I didn't have). By the time you put it on, left it for 10 minutes, wiped off, then took a shower, it was well over an hour. The Nair did make the hair softer so that it became easier and easier to remove. My girlfriend told me about waxing. She had been doing it for years. I bought the Nair hot was and the strips came with it. I did it one night, and I had tears coming from my eyes. It was the most painful thing ever!! Now I have a battery operated razor that can be used in the shower. It is not as close as I would like it. So, last time I went to Walmart I bought the Nair that you use in the shower. You put on, and I think wait 4 minutes and shower off. I have not used it yet so I don't know how it works. |
I know what you mean it is so unfair... I use a Shick Quattro which trust me is just as expensive or more then the Venus... I thought about trying Nair but eh, I'd rather shave bc the Nair seems like a hassle. One of my friends got laser hair removal for her armpits and bikini area and I am so jealous!! I want to do that esp bc it is summer and everyone here LIVES at the river in a bikini in the summer. And the BF is always like hurry up lets go throw on a bathing suit...Uhhhh it's not that easy for girls, you have to make sure your legs aren't all hairy...boo. |
We use the Mach 3. I told my dtr to use them until there almost dead. |

It really is shocking how much razor blades cost! My dh says it's b/c the cost of stainless has gone up so much, but as far as I'm concerned, they've always been pretty costly. You'd think that something so mundane would cost pennies:) |
I really love the Schick Intuition with the soap on it because shaving is so quick, but the refills for that cost a mint, too. If I ever hit the PowerBall, it's laser removal for me! BTW, anyone remember that medieval torture device from the 80's called the Epilady that ripped the hair out by the roots? (shuddering at the thought) |
I use the Gellette Fusion, I had ran out of my razors once and had to nick one of my husbands and I loved how close of a shave I got so I have now made them mine as well:rolleyes: I have very fair sensitive skin, I had tried Nair in the past and I got a rash from it. My mom got an Epilady when I was a teen and it was pure torture to use:eek: I then tried Nads when it first came out and I kid you not, my one leg bruised from it I was in so mush pain that I could not bring myself to do the other! it looked as if I was in an accident with how black and blue I got! ( I used it on my eyebrows first and it was not bad though) I feel why try any of the stuff anymore when it's easy and less painful just to shave with a razor. Laser hair removal sounds good to look into, but I am waiting for one of my 3 sister's to get it done first so I can see if she has any "Painful" story before I even think of doing it to myself;) |

however.. if everything goes as planned hopefully i wont have to buy her razors but FIVE more years...lolol me on the otherhand...maybe my dh wont care after another 25 yrs..j/k I would love to do laser..but my hair is blonde...it only works on dark hair:rolleyes: |
I would LOVE to get laser hair removal! I absolutely hate buying the stupid razor refills :mad: |
I don't pay for shavers! :p Shop CVS and use a coupon. That combined with the ecb (money back) makes them free. I have dozens of them stocked up now! :D It's a fun hobby! (And yes, I get more than razors--other good stuff too! :) ) |
I use the Venus too. So expensive!!! I used to live near a KMART that actually kept the razors locked up. You had to find an employee and have them unlock the razor case. |
