I might be missing something here, but isn't the only difference between razors for chaps and razors for ladies, is that the ladies version comes in pink ?

If that is so, why have they been paying over the odds for pink razors ?

Perhaps they've thought that their foofoos need a touch of femininity when being landscaped into something less mountain hillside and more village green and it was worth that bit extra.

[NoMercy]

Surely women no longer use razors for pruning their lady gardens? I've been using wax for 20 years.

I've never realised women's razors were more expensive.

Apparently there are differences,

But if the only difference is the colour of the plastic used to make the bloody things, why spend more money that you need to ?

We have already debated this when it comes to painkillers that are supposed to specifically target period pain.

Ganges...then it would seem that there may indeed be differences....thanks.

I suppose it depends if one's looking for a trim or affecting a handlebar moustache, NoMercy. :)

[mikey4444]

I don't pretend to be an expert on this subject, but while some women will trim the privet, its their legs that these razors are mostly used for.....or have I got that wrong ?

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, you've got that wrong as well as your original assumption.

And under arms Mikey....
Also women's razors, the handles are a lot shorter!

[mikey4444]

I give up !

I don't trust hot wax down below. Or razors come to that!!!!

One slip............ and you're labialess!

[Prudie]

Well I use razors for legs, quick and easy and have always known women's cost more. I just buy the male version.

[cupid04]

Or borrow the OH's!

[-SharonA-]

Lol divebuddy!

I only use razors to shave legs. I usually buy mine in the pound shop.

[cupid04]

How much are they in there ;-))

[jourdain2]

I'm brave, I use an epilator nowadays (pulls out the leg hairs by the roots). Painful, but lasts a lot longer. Before that, I refused to pay more and just bought the ordinary Bic ones.

[Answerprancer]

Surely using they don't use those hair-tugging epilators on the old growler ...the very thought makes my eyes water!

[jourdain2]

Strictly legs only answerp. I don't bother with the rest; such a relief when I discovered that French women did not shave under their arms.
