Not every woman spends hours in front of the mirror, but almost every woman shaves Hair legs.
We usually do this with a cartridge system, which comes in all sorts of beautiful, expensive, and luxurious versions. Other women still use the infamous disposable razors.
We usually use a razor with multiple blades because it would give us the smoothest possible result, but over the General this actually causes the most skin irritation. This is because these blades are very close to the skin Shaving, which can lead to ingrown hairs and shaving irritation. The multiple blades are close together and pull on the Hair, causing it to tear rather than be cut. Besides, all those blades also cost a fortune.
As a woman, you naturally want smooth legs without bumps or ingrown hairs. Fortunately, there is an easy solution for that, the Safety Razor! Also known as the traditional razor. It has, of course, been around for almost a century but is making a comeback. Now this may seem dangerous and difficult and perhaps even too masculine, but nothing could be further from the truth. More and more women are switching to the Safety Razor to Shaving their legs and bikini line.
How does a Safety Razor work?
The Safety Razor is actually a scraper where you place a replaceable blade. This is called a double edge blade. These come in different sharpness levels. These Double Edge Blades are of much higher quality than the blades in a cartridge system or disposable razor. You also shave with one blade over the skin. That means less stress for the skin. Due to the better quality and Sharpness of the Double Edge Blades, the hair is actually cut through without lifting or pulling the hair. You get a very nice smooth shaving result with a less irritated skin. And also much less chance of ingrown hairs.
Isn't such a Safety Razor very dangerous? Absolutely not! It just takes a bit of practice. A Safety Razor is not called a safety razor for nothing. The head of the razor has a certain curvature making it very easy to place the razor at the correct angle on the skin. Also, part of the blade is covered by a plate so your skin is only partially exposed to the blade.
Shaving with a Safety Razor in combination with a Shaving Cream and brush
To complete the Shaving with a Safety Razor, you can do this in combination with a shaving cream that you apply with a shaving brush . You whip the cream into a foam yourself and by applying it with a circular motion, you prepare the skin for Shaving. This cream provides a protective layer on the skin and allows the blade to glide more easily over the skin. The hairs are made extra soft and often a good Shaving Cream also contains moisturizing ingredients. This allows you to shave the hairs effortlessly without getting dry legs.
Sustainable Shaving for the environment and wallet
An additional advantage of Shaving with a Safety Razor is the savings for both the environment and your wallet. A good Safety Razor is a one-time investment when you take good care of it. For example, always dry the Safety Razor well after Shaving. Only the blade needs to be replaced after a few shaves. And those blades cost almost nothing! This results in less waste from Shaving and also minimal costs, as the blades are much cheaper than those of a cartridge system. Also, the blades and the Safety Razor are completely free of plastic, making it the most environmentally friendly way of Shaving.
In short, Shaving with a Safety Razor is perfect for women's skin
The first time you shave with a Safety Razor will be a bit awkward, but after seeing and feeling the end result once, you won't want anything else. No irritation, or tight feeling and a smoother result.
