I have been trying out some disposable men's razors for a closer shave for my legs and arm pits.

On average how many uses can you get out of my men's razor?

Not for sure of how many uses exactly.... but I can tell you that you get more from a man razors than a females razors... hence why I always use a man razors to shave with.

Good to know. Never thought of that.

In the summertime I have always spent a lot of time in bathing suits, tank tops and sleeveless shirts. So, I've done my fair share of shaving.

Typically, I use depilatory creams, especially on my underarms. After I remove the cream then I shave as usual. Then I use good moisturizing liquid soap on my underarms in particular and finish my shower.

I like the depilatory creams as they seems to dissolve the hair way closer than razors do. I still use the razor to catch anything that was missed. Another reason is I get fewer "shave bumps" using the cream.

As far as razors go, I get the good ones when they go on sale and I use coupons to reduce the cost. Then I use the heck out of them! I probably get 20 or better shaves out of 1 blade. That's another benefit of using depilatory creams. Less wear on the blade since the hair's been dissolved by the chemical in the depilatory cream.

Be careful with men's razors. I heard on the news or some show a while back that they can cut too close to a woman's skin and cause damage to the skin.

Waxing is supposed to give you more time between waxings, and the hair supposedly grows back softer, too. I've never done anything besides shaving, so I'm just passing alone information, not experience.

Or, you could go all natural and be wild and wooly!

I actually use the mach 3 razor from gillette for shaving, it's far better than any disposable razor (well, the head is replacable, but it's not that cheap disposable stuff). Men's razors are cheaper and no different except men's might come in black or blue while womens come in pink.

I should have been clearer, sorry. It's the 4+ bladed razors that men's razors can have that are more risky for women's skin.
