I dunno what this magical ‘correct’ way to shave is for you boys, but the Gillette Venus ads on the telly would have us girls believe that the ‘correct’ way to shave your legs has nothing to do with technique, and everything to do with owning a perfect tan and prancing around to a doctored Bananarama soundtrack.

Misogynists.

I’m so glad that someone else has benefited from that article too. I found it after a Google search for “alternatives to gillette razors” because I felt like such a dunce buying exorbitantly-priced cartridges for my 11-year-old-boy’s-design-sensibility razor. So that article pretty much summed up how I felt and introduced me to a better way. I am planning on giving it a go too; we can compare notes. :D

So, I read something recently (a couple of hours ago) on shaving and why we’re all going it wrong.

Who said anything about right/wrong? This is merely tops vs lazy, tops vs disposible junkism. The only right/wrong is my perception vs your perception, which has nothing to do with shaving…

I was shaving right the entire time.

This should be about how you were doing it wrong Ross.

Hah, this is why I shave in the shower. Also Lush makes a really good shaving cream for thick stubble. It’s pretty expensive and not really for anyone in too much of a rush – you’re supposed to leave it on for about 5 minutes after washing your face with warm water. It works really well though – Rob can back me up on that.
