Heya,

I’ve been looking into razors and trimmers to take care of facial and body hair, including sensitive areas. Just looking up these products shows that pretty much anything as explicitly male or female marketed, including not just stereotypical elements like colour and such, but also explicitly calling themselves “for men” or “for women”.

Is there anything to this label? Does it actually make any difference or are these just arbitrary visual differences?

Also, do people here have good recommendations for what to go for? It’d be nice to have something that maybe makes it a little easier than using disposable normal razors, as that’s associated with some major constant effort and has some less fulfilling results in sensitive areas.

Thanks for reading!

    its not easier than disposable cartridges at first, but i think that getting a saftey razor was the best choice i made, i just got a cheap one from a drug store for 15 bucks, its just silver, not really gendered at all, and i get disposable blades online, blades are cheap, and not full of plastic. i get really sharp ones, i think that they help me to get a really nice, shave. the disposable ones tend not to be very sharp so they wont cut the hair as well, i never got a good shave with one felt like. i switched and once i got the hang of it after about a week, i started to get really close shaves that would give me really smooth skin and not much hair noticeable to the touch for 12 hours, and not noticeable to the eye for 24 hours. its not for everybody, i do still cut my lip occasionally, but i would not go back personally.
