Ladies - buy MEN'S shaving products!!

For a while now I've noticed that men's shaving products such as Gillette foam/gel are much cheaper than the equivalent women's branded products.

I always buy the men's ones which can be up to £1 less - bloomin' cheek!

Ok, so they may smell of 'man musk' rather than freshly squeezed lemon and limes :rolleyes: buy hey, why get ripped off!!!

HTH.

    I buy men's ones, I put on moisturiser after shaving my legs anyway, so you can't smell it at all....

    But just notices in Sainsbury's this afternoon, original source Lavender shaving gel for £1.26.

    Just use cheap hair conditioner. Makes your legs softer than using shaving gel!

    Well you can buy mens unfragranced shaving products which I use.

    Plus, baby wipes are much better than expensive womens face wipes. And they're always on BOGOF - I've never bought them not on offer for about 4 years now.

    In fact, I hardly ever use womens products at all and always opt for a better and cheaper alternative. Doesn't make me sound like much of a ladeeeee now does it?!!
