does anyone know a good electric razor for women-- or should I just buy a mans razor? The mens razors all look like they are well made. The womens are all cheaper-- and pink.

I have the Panasonic and after a few months of use, it just does not work. Tried calling company and they said I HAD to use shaving cream !! - I got this because I wanted to NOT use cream, but even with the cream it stopped working; now it is over 2 years and I still cannot bring myself to throw it out.anyone have a good replacement electric womens shaver?

You don't need shaving cream, you need to buy a replacement outer foil, replacement inner blade, or both the replacement foil & blade. If you cannot find them on Amazon, they sell them at the drugstore, etc.

Electric shavers seem to be very idiosyncratic so you may have to try more than one. My GF read a lot of reviews and after assessing them bought a Remington MS2-390. She didn't like the way it shaves so she next tried a Panasonic ES2216PC. She's very happy with it, even though it is lavender :_>

I have a Panasonic ES2207 that I guess is older than the ones that are being discussed. My razor was purchased July 29, 2009, and the charger no longer works. The razor didn't work that well anyway and now that I can't charge it, not at all. I had a Remington that lasted for at least 12 years and gave a better shave. Why is it the old products seem to work better than the new ones?

I got my husband this razor recently with the Croma blade. The customer service rep at The Luxury Barber told me that those blades were the best kind and straight from Germany. My hubby loves it so far... he says they work great!

I went back to a Double Edge safety razor. Best move I made as far as shaving goes. Look at the Edwin Jagger Double Edge razors as an example. The DE89 series is very popular. I use a DE89BL almost on a daily basis. There are many other brands available too like Parker, Muhle etc.

I got a sold metal razor. It had no name on the package, I had read in other reviews that it is a crap shoot as to what shows up. I did not order the cheapest one advertised and hoped ordering from Sodial that I would get their brand. It does seem to be a decent razor.

My husband loves his Merkur saftey Razor- the Merkur blades are amazing- but I think it may differ on the person- I'd suggest getting a variety pack with different blades and then finding out which one you might like the best- but the Saftey Razor is awesome.

I am a female. I received this razor on August 17th. I used it every day and I just changed the first blade last week. That's a long time for me!

Every one has different types of skin. So my recommendation would be Astra or Personna... They both last me 3-4 good shaves a piece. Feather razors are good but are really sharp. I use all 3..can't go wrong with those

It works very well for ladies. A friend of mine with nice legs saw me using the shaver on my face. She asked me to try it on her legs. She said it gave her one of the smoothest leg shaves she's ever had.

I used Gillette disposables (not cartridges) before getting this razor and personally, there was almost no learning curve for me. First shave with it I drew no blood :) The blades you use will be harder to figure out as each blade brand works differently for different beards. You will be spending a couple/few months finding the blade that works best. Start off with large sample pack, try those, see what is available near you and try them. One brand will shave you very different from another brand, each beard is different. Make sure you have some sort of blade bank for your used blades, I use empty Alt*ids cans that I tape up when full. Make sure you are using soap and brush for lather, you will not like the shave from this razor with foam/gel. A great resource for info on wet shaving is badgerandblade dot com. Buy this razor, you will not regret it and the environment will really appreciate it.

I've seen an improvement over my old cartridge razor. The biggest thing is finding the right blade that works for your skin type. Once you figure that out its a lot better. The razor is great I've really been happy with it. I've had it about 8 months.

According to my husband, Gillette makes the best blades for this type of razor. When I bought him the razor, I bought the "Feather Blades" to go with them. He said, "The blades were not that sharp. They wouldn't last but a couple of shaves."

To be honest Nick, I am not sure what you mean. I am new to safety razor shaving. When I get home tonight I will upload a photo for you.

Not a guarantee as I am not a woman nor have I known a woman to use this actual model however that being said I don't see why not. I do believe that Dorco also offers their brand in a woman's model as well. Dorco Shai SoftTouch 6- Six Blade Razor Shaving System- Value Pack (10 Cartridges + 1 Handle)

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity. It is an excellent razor.

I have found the razor to give a wonderfully close shave but be sure to flush blade when you are shaving and after finishing. Because the blades are so close they seem to retain hair that once hard and in place can make the next shave rough. If you do flush completely they last as long or longer than two blade razors and many times closer than any electric I have ever used!

Probably just me, but shaving in the shower with a DE razor would be like trying to drive while blindfolded. I need to see my face with the razor touching my face. If not, I have visions of "Sweeney Todd" flashing in front of my eyes. And as many say, the razor needs to be dried (and kept dry) after each shave. It's not a cheap plastic razor like we are all used to.

Parker safety razor and Parker brush are good choices. Now imagine how hard it is for men to figure out stuff for you ladies! Really hard! And I swear, we try!
