When I was teen, I began shaving my legs* with Gilette Daisy razors. Once, early on, I tried using a Bic women’s razor. It was a mistake. I wound up shaving off a 1-2″ section of skin on the back of my knee. I cried like the little girl I was. Since that fateful day I’ve almost never shaved without my Daisies. Recently I’ve been considering switching to a more earth-friendly option. By that, I mean something that (a) could be recycled or (b) would fill up landfills at a less extraordinary rate.
My options – an electric razor or a less disposable razor. I’ve tried an electric razor in the past and wasn’t impressed. That left me with the less disposable options. I immediately went to the brand I trust – Gilette. I figured these geniuses made the Daisies, certainly they can make other razors with superior functionality (i.e. less skin shaved off). So this weekend I tried the Venus. I must say, I was pleased. No shaving injuries occurred. The handling over the terrain was great. Plus I was able to achieve my goal – I’m putting less garbage in a landfill. I suppose change isn’t always a bad thing.
