If you have read my opinion on other hair removal products, you will be fully aware how rarely I shave, instead I tend to use sugaring (like waxing) and I am not really some hairy monster from Dr. Who! Only in extreme emergencies do I shave and this happened to me last week. My regular beauty therapist was away on holiday and my hubby had arranged to take me away for a couple of nights. I had to remove the unsightly, unwanted body hair and fast! What was I to do?
A trip to the local chemist solved the problem in the form of Gillette for Women, Sensor Excel. This pale green razor has a soft, non-slip grip, making it ideal to use in the bath or shower. The flexible inter-changeable head has protective mircofins, making for a closer, smoother and safer shave. The blade cartridges are impregnated with aloe and vitamin E lubrastrip, moisturising the skin during the shave to leave it smooth and soft. The twin blades on a spring-mounted head are sharp enough to remove most the stubborn hairs without causing razor burn plus the associated pain.
2) Soften skin and body hairs with plenty of warm water.
3) For best results apply a shaving cream to the skin, before shaving. Gillette recommends their Satin Care Shave Gel. This helps to reduce friction on the skin, allowing the razor to glide over the skin effortlessly.
4) Start at the easiest area and work up to the hard to reach points, such as the armpits or knees.
5) Always try to shave in the direction of hair growth (less drag, hence less razor burn).
6) Do not press the razor to hard to the skin.
7) Rinse the blade when it gets clogged with hair and thoroughly after use. Pat dry with a cotton cloth and leave to air dry.
8) Store unused blades in the medicine cabinet, to keep dry and secondly to be out of the reach of children and pets.
Replacement blades and Satin Care Shave Gel along with the Gillette’s Sensor Excel Razor for Women are available in most chemists and supermarket stores. The kit that I brought from an independent chemist cost me £4.99 and came with one spare blade. It is not the cheapest female razor on the market today, but it does give an excellent shave. I was able to swim and dine out in style with out the other clientele gaping in horror!
