Compukit UK101 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Aren't Women's razors angled differently. I think the blades are more flat (5-10 degrees) in relation to the handle whereas the men's variety are more like 45 degrees ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Women have much softer skin, so surely the razors are different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Knimbies who say No Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hurrah, I'm a bloke who uses "women's" razors. Better made imo. Although it was a rough comparison many years ago, so probably not relevant now. At least it is easy to only have one type of blade in the household. surprised to hear about smaller volumes, maybe ladies are better at not losing them, as they seem to be used on a much greater area of body. Might be due to being better made so requiring less frequent replacement. My "Venus" has been in use for more years than I care to remember. And it's blue, like proper bloke's stuff.

Mikhail Liebenstein Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 6 hours ago, The Generation Game said: It's interesting how society wants you to think. My wife hates the colour pink so our 3 month old daughter generally gets dressed in neutral colours. Most common question we get asked "Aww. How old is he?" Had her ears pierced at 11 weeks (not related, just something they seem to do on the continent). We bought her a train set so she's probably going to end up a gender-confused SJW herself. Pink is a man's colour. I have loads of pink shirts, they look so much smarter than blue. For what it is worth, this whole pink girl thing only kicked off in the 1920s. Prior to that, Pink was seen as a lighter version of the red in Soldier's Tunics and so it was pink for boys - certainly in the late 1700s pink was a virile male colour. I blame feminism, basically they want to make men look like pu55ies by putting them in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingpoor Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Don't womens razors have safety barsover the blades? Most of the ones i have seen have. Can anyone show me a womans razor without safety bars that is identical to a mans razor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbonic Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 My wife and daughter get around the conundrum by nicking my razors. That's why they're usually like a lump of rusted plough that's been in a field for 3 years. I think I'll start shaving with a 7 inch Bowie knife like Ray Mears or Bear Grills; that'll show 'em.

Just shows how daft some women are, I buy whatever razors that I feel are suitable for the job regardless of their colour or packaging. If women fall for the pink branding then they deserve to pay more for being so ducking thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a women's razor with safety bars, though I mostly buy the cheaper men's ones so may not have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_renting Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 As the profit margins have been savagely reduced, the Sparkly Pink 'Mingereaper Duo' has now been withdrawn from the UK market. The Safety SnatchScraper and Petite Gillette Beaverette are similarly endangered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail the Tripod Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 My wife goes to a salon and gets waxed. They charge a lot more than the cost of a disposable men's razor. Evil sexists. It should be a hate crime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some ugly critters out there that need a little bit of work to make them presentable Large sanitary towels make great willie warmers when working outdoors in winter. Also wearing tights under the trousers gives a bit of extra warmth. Lipstick can serve as engineers blue with Ajax or Vim as a grinding paste. Nail varnish can be used on a bolt to stop the nut working use. Nail varnish remover, acetone, has lots of uses too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the cheapest, and there didn't seem to be a direct male equivalent. the nearest male equivalent is those stupid panty-hose hats that rappers wear.....seem to be fashionable in the gangsta style! personally a leg of sawn-off pretty polly medium denier does the same job, and really does have some gangsta history behind it.
