Heya,

I’ve been looking into razors and trimmers to take care of facial and body hair, including sensitive areas. Just looking up these products shows that pretty much anything as explicitly male or female marketed, including not just stereotypical elements like colour and such, but also explicitly calling themselves “for men” or “for women”.

Is there anything to this label? Does it actually make any difference or are these just arbitrary visual differences?

Also, do people here have good recommendations for what to go for? It’d be nice to have something that maybe makes it a little easier than using disposable normal razors, as that’s associated with some major constant effort and has some less fulfilling results in sensitive areas.

Thanks for reading!

    Big up recommending moisturiser. In addition to this, I have found that exfoliating before is a huge help.

    Also your hair direction tip is a big one. Sometimes I get impatient and shave against the hair grain because it’s quicker to get a close shave that way, but I always end up regretting it due to ingrown hairs and other irritation
