Not every woman stands in front of the mirror for hours, but almost every woman shaves her legs.
We usually do that with a cartridge system, which you have in all kinds of beautiful, expensive and luxurious versions. Other women still use the notorious disposable mesjes.
We usually use one razor With multiple blades, because this would give us the most slippery result, but in general this causes most skin irritation. This is because these blades shave very close to the skin, which can actually cause ingrown hairs and shaving irritation. The multiple blades are close together and pull on the hair, so that it cracks instead of being cut. In addition, 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 old -fashioned razor. This of course has been around for almost a century but comes back all the way again. Now this may seem dangerous and difficult and perhaps even too masculine, but nothing is less true. More and more women are switching to the Safety Razor to shave the legs and bikini line.
How does a safety razor work?
The Safety Razor is actually a scraper where you place a exchangeable knife. This is called a Double Edge Blade. These are available in different sharpening. This Double Edge Blades are of a much higher quality than the blades that are in a cartridge system or disposable knife. You also shave over the skin with one knife. That means less stress for the skin. Due to the better quality and sharpness of the Double Edge Blades, the hair is actually cut, without lifting the hair or pulling the hair. So you get a very nice smooth shaving result with a less irritated skin. And also much less chance of ingrown hairs.
Isn't that very dangerous such a Safety Razor? Absolutely not! It requires some practice. It is not for nothing that a Safety Razor is called a safety shaver. The head of the razor has a certain curve, making it very easy to put the razor on the skin at the right corner. A part of the knife is also covered by a plate so that your skin is only partially exposed to the knife.
Shaving with a Safety Razor in combination with a shaving cream and brush
To complete shaving with a Safety Razor you can do this in combination with a shaving cream that you apply with a shaving brush. You beat the cream yourself into a foam and by applying it with a rotating movement, you prepare the skin for shaving. This cream ensures a protective layer on the skin and makes the knife 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 without difficulty without getting dried -out legs.
Sustainable shaving for the environment and wallet
An additional advantage of shaving with a safety razor is the saving for both the environment and in your wallet. A good safety razor is a one -time investment when you handle it well. For example, always dry the safety razor well after shaving. Only the blade needs to be replaced after a number of shaves. And those blades cost almost nothing! This gives you less waste from shaving and also minimal costs, since the blades are much cheaper than the blades of a cartridge system. The blades and the safety razor are also 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 felt the end result, you don't want anything else. No irritation, or tight feeling and a smoother result.
