Shopping for new blades for my old razor I realized that the gel used on the blades could not be vegan. I didn’t want to check online if they were vegan and as I realized that the blades for my old razor cost about the same as a saftey razor + 5 blades, I bought the safety razor.

Like it so far, was a little concerened to cut myself but slow and steady wins the raze (haha, get it…?) It leaves a tiny, tiny stubble, but maybe that is just me getting used to the new razor. What I like is that it is much easier to clean, since you can remove the blade and rinse it off or even disinfect it. Should I disinfect my blade? Dullsters on the internet, what is your wisdom?

    May I ask why the warmth/moisture is an issue when shaving the privates? As a woman I think we shave that quite a lot with cartridge razors opposed to electric trimmers and so far so fine. Or you get waxxed, but that’s besides the point xD

      It gives nicks which are more likely to become infected in a warm and humid environment. And while women likely have more experience, I still don’t think y’all should shave either. Idk about waxing though cause my only experience with it involves my ear.
