I ran out of razors one day and my boyfriend gave me one of his. I didn't knick myself a SINGLE time! I use his brand of razors now.

For one, every single time I use a men's razor I end up knicking myself therefore I have to be super careful not to, and with my Venus razor it takes me three minutes tops in the shower to shave both my legs and under my arms. Then again, the hair on my legs is quite non-existent and thin/blonde, but I still hate stubble so I shave once to twice a week. Also, men's razors are wayyy sharper than womens, which is probably why I knick myself. They ARE hard to maneuver, and lastly they seem to be cheaply made compared to women's razers!

That is great until you nick your self several times. As a result, I now choose a Venus razor. I nick myself less but I have found ways to get a really close shave. I like the moisture strips. I feel the help provide a smooth shave. I find men’s razors tend to provide a closer shave. That is great until you nick your self several times. As a result, I now choose a Venus razor.

I have PCOS, meaning the stubble/hair on my legs is thicker due to hormones and my genetics. I was able to use 2 Venus Breeze razors and make them last about 2 months all together. Granted, they did dull quickly but I tried to get the most use out of them until they really didn't do the job anymore. This time around I'm trying out the Gillette Fusion for men. Tons of my PCOS sisters have used the razors meant for men and have told me how much better they are. Honestly, a razor is a razor. I don't see why they can't use the same razor that men use and just put pretty colors on it and market it to women too. Instead, they add an extra blade, moisture strips, use a whole nother razor all together that doesn't perform as well and jack up the price. I don't think the extra blade and moisture strips make that big of a difference tbh. That's just my $.02.
