I don't know why I never even THOUGHT of using an electric razor but after reading this I went a lookin' the next time I was in the city and lo and behold I saw this EXACT razor on the shelf at Walmart for eight dollars (Canadian)! The C stands for Clio by the way =) I'm SO excited about not having to purchase any more razors and worry about them being left where a baby can reach them! Love your site, thanks for all the great information here. Thank you for this!

I, too, have rather sensitive skin and often don't bother shaving certain parts of my leg unless I absolutely HAVE to. I tested this shaver out and experienced NO irritation, which is AWESOME!!! (and foreign!) It isn't as close a shave as I'd like, but for the most part, I like it because I won't need shaving gel anymore ~ or even water. Plus, I can do it everyday, so the stubble is never really noticeable anyway. AND we use rechargable batteries, so we save there, too. Thanks for the WONDERFUL tip!!!

We get snow here in my parts and spring pretty much does not exist. I do take the winter "hiatus."I hope I am helping the environment. At least I try to rationalize this when buying disposable blades in the summer. On another note, last year I purchased a mug and soap cake set for my husband. No more aerosol cans in this house!

Instead of buying something specifically for shaving, I use conditioner on my legs. (It was also great on an itchy pregnant belly last summer.) On the other hand, having a dry-shave option for places I've missed sounds really great.

Currently I use cheap disposable razors (and I use them WAY longer than I should, so they last a long time). And when I used shower gel I never used shaving cream, but now that we've switched to soap, I don't feel like I get the same lather. I use Aubrey Organics shaving cream or Tom's of Maine. My skin doesn't like to be shaved, though. I always have ingrown hairs on my armpits, the back of my thighs, and in the bikini area. I've been seriously wondering lately how expensive laser hair removal is, but one of those electric things might make my life SO much easier - I'll have to try it!

I love it too. I believe it's called "Clio." I have dark, thick hair on my legs so it doesn't actually feel smooth when I'm finished, but I look clean. I just got one of those a few weeks ago!
