Need help finding razor

HisElk1 — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 23:53:43 GMT

I have been searching for a razor to shave my legs, etc. and am trying to find one that is cruelty free.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

TIA.

The only one that I know about is the Billie brand. I believe that one has refills which go on their handles.

This Billie kit is a steal!! RUN!! It sells for $25 on Amazon. Less than $10 at Walmart:

I've used thus razor for about 4 years and have always been pleased with the results. I can't believe it's so inexpensive.

@SilleeMee , @Kachina624, thank you for your kind posts.

@SilleeMee, I just located the Billie brand at Walmart and you're right, so I put one in my cart.

Thanks to both of you so much.

@Goldengate8361 , I'm not sure how to interpret your "haha" in your post, so I will attempt to explain my thread.

Both DH and I TRY to use cruelty free products. Most of the brands, such as BIC, Gillette and others test their products on animals and that includes everything they manufacture.

I was simply trying to locate one that is made by a company that does not test on animals.

Hope that explains.

@Kachina624 - does it come with a charger? That's a great price for an electric razor.

Razor companies use animals to test their razors. They shave off the fur and then leave the skin cut and exposed. Some die from infections.

@SilleeMee , your post was stated much better than mine. Thanks again for the information.

Why they insist on doing that to animals is beyond me.

@riley1 Yes, it does. It does a good job too and mine hasn't dulled.

@Kachina624

I have that Panasonic shaver. I love it. The other day I was looking at it on Amazon and the price that day was $40! and then the next day it was $29. Now it's $20 again.

My point here to anyone interested in that Panasonic shaver is get it when the price is low b/c prices are wacky right now.

Also, if the Panasonic shaver seems to not be shaving very well then take off the head and clean the underside/insides with Dawn with toothbrush and that should take care of the problem. Once you take off the head you'll see what I'm taking about.

@SilleeMee I gave it some thought and, since mine is 4 years old, decided to order another to set aside for when my present one quits. Rechargeables don't go on forever. Can't beat the price.

Thank you for choosing cruelty free! Every cruelty free purchase helps animals.

@Kachina624

My thoughts exactly. That's why I was looking at it on Amazon just the other day thinking I need a backup.

@Glittergal , thank you for your post. The majority of what we use is cruelty free. Too much suffering for the animals.

@riley1

When you go to recharge that Panasonic shaver make sure it's seated inside the wall-charger thing so the red light is illuminated. It won't turn green when it's done recharging but stays red so I just leave it charging overnight.
