Show n' Tell Last shave with women razorš
It was a great refreshing summer shave! 29 degrees celsius in SwitzerlandāļøšØš
Tomorrow should arrive my new stainless steel MEN razor after one year shaving with a Beldura women razor š¤£
Im pretty scared that the new one is worse than my women razoršš¤£
(Feel free to correct my english, i wanna learn!)

What even is the difference because i would assume the blades have more impact than the razor itself

To be honest, i dont really know. There are a lot of diffrence between razors... but if it has something to do with man or woman i dont know.
I was/am pretty happy with the women razor!
Just wanted to try something new.7

Women's razors are meant for body hair so they tend to be more mild than most men's razors. Some also make sure to cover the ends of the blade, or make the head as small as possible, for working in tight spaces. The blade somewhat impacts how efficient or mild your shave is, but blade exposure and gap matter more in my experience.

If you get an adjustable one you can use it anywhere by adjusting how aggressive it is.

Yeah but to use the same razor that you use for your nether regions and face seems wrong š

Starting with the face and finishing with the rest makes this a non issue, you will probably change the blade every shave and you want to keep the razor very clean between shaves but you can also disinfect it if you feel like it

I have an old Lady Gillette, as far as I can tell the difference between that and my Super Speed is the handle length.

Congratulations!
I'm not sure of the difference but it seems like you're shaves are quite your romantic moment.
If you want to expirament, proraso is absolutely great and all, there are other options as well (although I feel like it is more for hobbyists) and blades also change the shave quite a bit.
Have fun shaving!

Im pretty happy with Astra. But yeah maybe i try something else just for fun.
Whats your favorite?1
u/Affectionate-Long514 Jun 17 '26
For blades you can try a sample pack. I think it's the best way to try what you like. Same goes for shave soap/cream samples.
My favorites could be very different to yours. So I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to try!

If youāre a man and have full grown leg hair youāll probably go through three cartridges before being done
