Fantastic disposable razor


Guest Lizzie McTrucker

Guest Lizzie McTrucker

After the last disposable razor I used practically ripped the skin off my upper thigh last time I shaved, I've been a little hesitant to shave again. Well you know summer's right around the corner so you know what that means: smooth legs! Yes, none of us are immune to this. I had bought a 2-pack of disposable razors that looked really promising and just shoved them in my bag for a later date..a time for when I actually had time to shave my legs..and or had a stool in the shower I could prop a leg up on to make it easier. Well, that wasn't happening today but I did have time to shave.

The razors I bought were Gilette Venus disposables. (unlike the Bic razors that cut me all over, even with shave gel!) These razors have built in shave gel on the top and the bottom so really all you need are these razors, water and two legs. (this product has not been tested on 4-legged creatures who shave)

At first swipe of the razor I knew this was not going to be a repeat incident of the last time. The razor glided softly and smoothly over my legs, slicing through hairs like a knife through butter. I'm talking the really soft melted butter not the butter right out of the freezer) Shaving was once again a breeze and the scented handle whisked me away to tropical parts unknown where I found myself sitting on a beach, suddenly really thin with big singlasses and a wide brimmed hat with this gorgeous red lipstick and sipping on a pina colada brought to me by Raul the cabana boy. Ahhh, bliss!

A sharp knock on the shower door from someone checking to see if I'm still in there brought me back to reality. :( ..but since it's a 2-pack, I have another one waiting for next time. :)

In short, if you like disposable razors: buy this one! (I have a seperate one for my face and it has it's own story to it) While drying off sitting down, I did notice a few spots that the razor missed but hey, razor, water, 2 legs, it was a breeze to hit those areas again.

Great report on the razors Lizzy. I discovered the same thing a few weeks ago when I bought a 4pack of Shick Quatro womens disposable razors, not even one nick and yes loved the scent.

I use the same razor for body I do my face. Shick Hydro with 5 blades. It rarely nicks and gets closer and smoother than the others..

Agreement here! I got mine at Costco in a 14 pack, 2 of which are for bikini shaves.

Price was reasonable.

Hey, do they have a Gillete Mars for the guys?

Although I normally go for the (painful) speed and smoothness of my electric epilator, I do sometimes shave; and I haven't used anything else than Gillete Venus razors since the first time I tried them.

Gillete makes a wide range of shaving stuff aimed at men. And, personally, my face owes its smoothness to the Gillete Fusion razors and gel. They aren't called "Mars", but it's all about marketing.

IMO, Gillete simply makes the best disposable razors by far. Both for body and facial hair.

Thanks for the tip Lizzie. I got some today to try. Bic razors are horrible! although they do have a sensitive version which I havent tried.

Tried the venus razors on my face today and they were amazing. Never had so close results with so little after burn and I'm cursed with strong hairs. Yay! Many thanks again for recommending.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
