I used my husband's electric razor on my legs and.....

...I'm wondering why I never thought to do this before! I've spent a fortune on electric razors for ladies-none of them worked-and we all know how ridiculously expensive women's manual razors are and by now, we probably could have taken a couple of lavish vacations on the money we spent!!!

I plan on having a pedicure on Thursday or Friday, and "they" say don't shave 24 hours before you go....I was getting ready to lather up and shave when I spied hubby's electric razor-all plugged in and ready to go...Dare I???? Well, in under a minute, I was sporting baby-soft hairless legs-no nicks-no cuts-smooth as a babies bottom...has anybody else discovered this?

Totally intrigued by this! What brand/type of electric razor is it?

I sometimes use an old one my husband gave me. It works fine.

Hubby has a Remington....I don't know why I ever thought I needed a ""Woman's razor""-and I've bought Lady Remington before (name a brand-I've tried it I bet). This is the best shave I've ever had!

It's as if your just experienced what I experienced this past summer. I looked at my husband's razor and I also said ""Why not?"". I cannot believe how smooth my legs were after using his razor. I think waxing and using a manual razor make my legs more smoother but my husband's electric razor is far and away better than the junk ladies electric razor that I was using. And just like you - I've spent a lot of money on ladies razors. What a waste. I did purchase a new one for me recently and I haven't tried it yet but hubby's razor still sits there on the bathroom counter and it calls my name!!

Interesting trivia Poodlepet! Off I go to try my husband's razor later! I've been getting nicks and cuts on the one I've been using and it's not really that effective.

For some reason I am NOT getting a good close shave from the Venus razors I buy. Maybe I should ""gift"" him with one!!!! Valentine's day! LOL!!!

I use my husband's old electric shaver. It is much more effective than the ladies one I have. I prefer to use an old one rather than my husband's current one, because he always leaves his full of whiskers. LOL I wonder why they make the men's models so much better? I won't buy a ladies one again!!

I discovered that yrs ago. My women's electrics were inefficient and the edges so sharp they scratched my legs. Got DH an electric one, and thought, hey, why not get myself one too? Never went back - who cares if it isn't all pretty and decorated, it works!

Great tip, thanks for sharing! It's well worth a try.

Hmmm, thanks for the tip. My hubby has one he doesn't use. Maybe, I'll try it and see.

Because manufacturers still think women are some kind of stupid & are only shopping for items that are "cute" or have flowers or other designs on them, never mind the quality. They also construct men's clothing & shoes better than they do women's with the reasoning that men wear their clothes forever & women only wear theirs for one or two seasons.

After wasting a lot of $$ on razor blades all these years, I'm going shopping for a men's electric shaver. Thanks for the sugggestion!

Thanks for the idea! My H uses a blade, but I was thinking of buying myself a "lady" shaver for days that I am in a hurry or discover I missed something with my Venus.

I have used a men's Phillips Norelco razor for years. Works better then any other women's razor I have ever used. I hate shaving my legs in the shower especially when it's cold. I can do it a lot faster with the electric & without cutting my legs.

I use a men's electric razor too. I have some moles on my legs and if I cut them with a razor they bleed for days so i use an electric instead and the ladies electrics do not work.

I have my own Norelco which I love. When I do not want to take the time to ""lather up"" I just plug it in and give my legs a quick swipe. It also works great for cleaning up some of the fuzz that some women as they get older get on their faces.

Wow - I feel like a dummy for not thinking of this! I think I will stroll on over to Amazon and check some out! Thank you for the tip...I don't know why I never thought it would give nice smoothness - I mean, they are meant for FACES! Lol!

I was thinking of trying this with my 11 year old DD. She has thicker, dark hair on her legs and wants to start shaving so she doesn't get teased at school (girls at this age can be brutal to each other I'm afraid). I was afraid to try razors at this young age. So...Norelco or Remington seem popular here. I'll check out amazon for the men's versions. Wish me luck! Thanks!

Which type, rotary or straight edge? I'm definitely going to try one! Thanks for the tip
