"Beauty Product Challenge: Razors" |
First off, do not let it be said that I am not a true devotee to beauty products. I have actually conducting an experiment on behalf of my fellow beauty product lovers. How it began: I was recently at a friend's house, and she was extolling the virtues of the new Schick (no relation to our beloved Survivor Chick) Intuition razor. Me: "It can't be better than the Gillette Venus razor, I have been using it for a long time and I am very happy with the results." Friend: "But using the Intuition razor- it's like you're not really shaving! And you don't get nicks or cuts! It's definitely better than the Venus razor!" Me: "No! Heresy! Nothing is better than the Venus razor for shaving!" Friend: "What happened to your ankle? It's bleeding." Me: (mumbling) "I accidentally hacked it up when I was shaving." Evil Friend: "With your VENUS razor? Hah!" Me: "Well, we'll see how smooth your legs are in a few days, as I do not believe that a closer shave can be achieved by anything but the Venus razor." Thus, I bring you....
The Venus/Intuition Shave-Off Day One: I shaved my left leg with my Venus Razor using Gillette shaving gel, taking care not to hack up my ankle again. I shaved my right leg with the newly-purchased Intuition razor. I have to say, the Intuition shaving experience itself was great. It took less time, because the shaving lotion is in the razor itself. I was also able to go over my ankles and knees quickly without any nicks.
Shaving experience: Intution 1, Venus 0 Smoothness after shaving: Intuition 1, Venus 1 So far, Intuition is an easy, fast, seemingly close shave. But is it as close as the Venus? Only time will tell. Day Two: Both legs still pretty smooth. Intuition 1, Venus 1 Day Three: A tiny bit of stubble on both legs, seems even. Intuition 1, Venus 1 Day Four: Hair growth on both legs seems even. Intuition 1, Venus 1 Day Five: Hair growth seems even. Intuition 1, Venus 1 Conclusion: Both razors seem to have good outcomes. Intuition: Total 6 points. Venus: Total 5 points. The only thing the Intuition razor has over the Venus is the actual shaving experience.
Bonus Points for Websites: Intuition .03, Venus 1
Intuition Venus Now you can do something for me. Please explain to me why razor cartridges cost more than the razor itself? Why not just buy a new razor each time?

I'm a Venus loyalist; I avoid buying new cartridges by running the originals into the ground. I seriously use them like 30 times before replacing them. How sad am I? I only break out the new blades when I wear skirts. When I'm wearing hip hugging pants- there's no need to shave!

LAST EDITED ON 05-13-03 AT 10:36 AM (EST)I haven't tried either of these products yet but I've been tempted. It's nice to have our own Consumer Reports here, thanks Mon!!! I use a Gilette Mach 3, it's a guys razor. I get a really nice, smooth shave as long as I'm careful. My husband uses the same kind of razor so we just buy bulk refills at Costco where they are a bit cheaper, I think $25.00 for 20 refills. At the gym I always use disposables. Oh yeah...what are those panties that everyone here raves about? I'm on an undergarment mission, my husband said that if I don't go buy myself some new bras and panties he will. That scares me. The last time he bought me undergarments he got like a size 2 sequined G-string & nipple tassel combo. I need bra reccomendations too. Normally I buy the cheapest underwire bras I can at Wal-Mart. After 1 wash the underwire pokes out and sticks me in the armpit or I snap the straps. Just too much woman for those wimpy bras I guess... "Believe in Yourself" You too can cause forest fires...
