Yeah, it does say “15 minutes” max. I just wasn’t sure if I just got a sucky product.
Okay, I’ll give it the ol’ college try and do it for 15 minutes next time. I already shaved my legs so I’ll have to wait until this weekend to try out the Sally Hansen again.
Have you tried the Mach3? I hate to give in to fads, but that thing works.
:eek:Ye-ouch! Just the thought of it makes me cringe!
You theorized that there should be no great difference in technique, but come on, women don’t have soft dangly-bits, they are mostly smooth, tight surface to work with rather than loose, hanging flesh.
If you manage to pull this off (hehe, that’s a pun, son), let us know. 'Course, I suspect we’ll hear your screams from where ever we are before you regain consciousness enough to post.
I’ve said this before, but at the risk of sounding like some corporate shill:
I shave, uh, down there- and I use the Gillette Mach 3. I have yet to nick myself (and if you ever have, you know that it just does NOT stop bleeding). That blade is amazing.
Feh. Vagina’s a decent cover-all term isn’t it? Yeah, sure, it’s the inside, technically. I should have said pudendum then? Me, a lowly educated Dutch small town boy? Bite me.
Let me put it this way. I’m an end user in this respect. I don’t know what all that shit under the hood of my car is either, but I’m an excellent driver.
Well, shaving one’s balls is no picnic either, I can tell you. But I go very carefully and on occasion I’ve succeeded at it. You’re right, waxing them is out of the question.
You know what, actually Gillette sent me a free sample Mach 3 in the mail last month, and daggone if it didn’t do a really smooth and bloodless job. But I needed a replacement cartridge, and yesterday instead of going and finding one, I just used a fresh Bic. Ye-owch. I bled. I’m never using Bic again!
And that’s the whole “ball of wax”, to coin a phrase.
Thankyou, I must say. Why should anyone be concerened with what I call my own body parts. Damnit! I should be able to refer to my vaginal area as alphagetti or tupperwear, or anything(well, maybe not alphagetti-that paints a nasty picture). It is the usage of the word cunt which offends, and I can say that I do not use it in a negetive manner.
That said, I have decided on going to a salon. I tried a home kit, but with no avail. Thank you, everyone.
And AHunter3, I am very much female and hardly a troll (wink).
As I read this, I could ony feel saddened by the passing of my Panisonic Wet/Dry shaver. Droped it in the shower. It didn’t even bounce. At this time I can’t afford to replace it so I’m letting it grow again (tmi?) Good luck to all who shave.
