Though men appear more economical in shaving more often with the same razor, women have a much larger area to shave than men. Which makes us the more thrifty (no change there then)!0

I start my shave with the one one I finished my last shave on and then finish off with a new one.0

I've got an epilady - even for my armpits (hurts like h*ll the first couple of times - you need a pile of tissues to wipe away the tears :eek::rotfl:but I can't feel it now). I must have been really useless with razors because I always ended up with skin being sliced off my legs with them :eek: and loads of areas which were bleeding
. I've still got scars from about 30 years ago!

I keep a jam jar on the bathroom shelf behind the shower curtain with a couple of inches of veg oil in it. The rinsed shaken razors live there for months and they only very slowly loose their sharpness.0

I thought it would be obvious that us ladies use the razor for less shaves. We have got a bigger area to do.
They have only got the 5 o clock shadow to worry about.

For the thrifty out there, reinvigorate a disposable razor by dunking it in boiling water before a shave.. works brilliantly! :T0
