Vallerina 2 #1 June 8, 2004 I swear! I thought about posting this before the other razor thread! I've heard all about this razor that you don't have to use shaving cream with. What a great idea! That would save me so much time! My mom got one for free, and she let me use it. Since it's summer, and I wear shorts quite often, I shave my legs and armpits more. The razor makes having to shave more frequently less of a pain since it is quicker. However, it doesn't get the closest shave (that would be Venus), and I didn't attempt to shave "certain areas" because it's big and clunky, and you have to push down for the razor to come in contact with your skin. That just seemed like a major disaster waiting to happen, so I avoided it. But, anyways, I know there are quite a few women wanting to know how well it works. That's my in depth review of it.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #2 June 8, 2004 Sounds nice, but I'll stick with my Mach3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misskriss 0 #3 June 8, 2004 I tried the intuiton and even though it does give a softer, quicker shave you are right about it not being as close. I did attempt to shave certain areas but gave up because it was so big and went back to the venus. My daughters didn't really like it either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #4 June 8, 2004 Uh might I suggest no more shaving at all.. no more stubble... yes it hurts a wee bit the first time you use it but after that the roots are small and come out very very easily... and what grows back is always softer and finer. http://www.goodmans.net/get_item_em-ap9g_emjoi-ap-9g-gently-gold.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #5 June 8, 2004 Nothing works quite as well as my pink Bic 2 blade for women & body wash!! super smooth every time I don't need no stinking $4+ razor - esp when it doesn't even end up nearly as smooth. But thanks for the review anyway. My one ? w/ that razor is this... when the stuff substituting cream round the razor starts to go away, do you have to then start using regular cream, get a new razor or does it just never erode? There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #6 June 8, 2004 Quotewhen the stuff substituting cream round the razor starts to go away, You have to buy a replacement cartridge. I don't know how much those cost. Luckily, my mom picked up a free one of those, too! It'll be nice to have for the summer when I shave much more often, but that's all it's really good for. It'll be much easier to shave when I shower at the gym as well (that can get tricky since I, obviously, don't sit on the ground!)There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuoteYou have to buy a replacement cartridge def not the razor for me then. it's nice you get a free one for the summer though! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

Misslmperfect 0 #8 June 8, 2004 i cant figure out why no one has this problem but me - i shave 1 time with the Intuition and the cartridge is done! the part with the shaving cream is almost gone after 1 use. maybe i learned how to shave incorrectly . i've stuck with my mach 3 until something better comes around. has anyone tried that new thing - it starts with a V and its not a razor blade. its just plastic, but something about the cream helps the plastic "blade" remove hair...Oh Canada, merci pour la livraison!

tracker 0 #9 June 8, 2004 I HATED this razor!! First, it's very expensive (although it apparently wasn't too expensive for me to at least try ). Second, the shaving cream stuff around the blades doesn't last long at all so I found myself in need of a replacement cartridge very quickly. Third, like you said, the blades aren't sharp, as I had to shave each strip several times for a clean, smooth finish. (I can't imagine how this would affect "that" area - YYOUCH!! I didn't go there either.) But hey, at least now I know!!

Right now I am using a Mach 3 and shaving cream, twice a week. But, I must say ladies, I give you more respect than ever for the effort ya'll go through for us guys.
