New and need advice

[Siobhan]

Hi I’m Siobhan, just joined here and hoping someone can tell me whether double edge safety razors are safe for women to use? And no, I do not have a beard lol.

 

[Holyzeus]

Yes definitely
Plenty on here have had razors ‘borrowed’ by their other half.

Welcome to ATG

Welcome and yes......women do use them. I have one set aside for my wife. She says the shave is better.....and is pleased to have removed some more plastic from the household.

 

[Siobhan]

Thankyou! It’s good to know that it is safe and that I’m not a guinea pig! I’m also trying to minimize plastic waste!

Welcome, Siobhan. Yes, removing hair by shaving with a safety razor is no different for men and women. The razor won't know any different.
Look into tutorials and what have you though before you bring a blade into contact with skin and hair.

Welcome, and absolutely yes! Razor manufacturers made female specific DE razors at least as far back as the 1915 Milady Decollete. But the only thing that was different was the handle. Please use a good shaving soap, not the usual canned foam.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I will bite the bullet and try it out tonight. I might even blog it here so that others can learn from from my inevitable mistakes

We have a member on here who regulary shaves his legs as he likes to be smooth all over in case he gets lucky one day. It hasn't happened yet though. His forum name is @Steve Bowles shoot him a PM he'll tell you all you need to know about shaving legs, underarms etc. He says his Pantyhose don't snag as much when he is smooth.

If its going to be that quick......just try not to use pressure as you would with a cartridge.....or you might get a few nicks!
