Womens non-disposable razor?

I've ran out of blades for my Venus Breeze razor - and I've just looks to see how much it is to buy more and it's an absolute fortune!

Does anyone know any good razors, that are cheap and good for sensitive private areas? I don't mind if they're mens :p.

    I'd say Gillet have the upper hand on razors but they are too expensive also! I would start by looking in £1 stores as they tend to have a few razors around. I haven't had the chance to get to a store for a while but remember Wilkinsons razors and refills there alot in the past. I'd say they were a good second after Gillet.

    I have an epliator-razor which does both. I have to say I rarely epiliate as I am too fed up with the pain and constant exfoliating to prevent ingrowing hairs but if you are prepared for the upkeep (and pain!) its a good idea.

    The shaver that comes with it is wet-dry which is excellent for convenience but its nothing on a wet razor.

    I've got an epilator - but I still feel like sandpaper after using it :rotfl:. Awkward hairs! And it kills :mad:.

    Cheers for the advice anyway.

    know exactly what you mean- I don't get sandpaper, I get blood!

    I did see disposable razor packs half price in both Boots and Tesco earlier in the month but not sure on the offers at the moment. Would imagine offers should be on at the moment it being winter and fewer people wanting to shave so do keep your eyes out. Still not had a day free to get to the pound stores to check yet though!
  • I keep seeing a supposedly ever-lasting razor crop on on either Boffer or Grabitnow. Never used it but always strikes me as a good price. Haven't seen it for a while, might be worth keeping an eye out for a little while, have always wondered if it will last forever!! Will someone excavate our homes in 1000 years and find this perfectly good razor???
