And by the way, I don't leave mine in there because I don't want him using it. Double standard? Why yes, serve me up some of that, please.
Well, it got to the point where he wasn't changing his razors frequently enough, so I started buying the pretty lady kind. And they suck.
You see, they do a delicate lady job of it, all careful, gentle and concerned. What's with that BS?
I need the big guns. I need machinery. I need horsepower. I grow it like a man, you know.
So, I'm convinced. No matter what they say...there's a difference between the male and female versions of the exact same disposable razor.
And my legs need a man.

I am off for a full wax, and pedi today...I cannot stand to shave anymore...if I do and hubby sees me, he jokes and "shower and shave, that will be $.50 please"...
I totally agree with you!
You know, sometimes I think you must be secretly following me around because the timing of your wise observations is uncanny!
Off to go and steal my husband's Gillette blue razor!
Best wishes, Natasha.
I just get those yellow colored Bics. Disposables. Me likey. lol.
My legs need a man too, right at the top of my legs, where they come together...
Secretia
I only use an electric razor and I keep it locked up. You've just illustrated exactly why I do that...
I rarely shave my legs past September. Christmas is coming. . . maybe then, as a gift to my husband.
hahaha....I would never trade my razor, handheld or electric, for my Hubs..although, I did use his shave lotion from Art of Shaving..its fantastic.
Of course there's a difference! I'm a Gillett Mach 3 gal, myself!
You crack me up every morning!
I never thought about it...hmmmmm....well, since I only shave once a quarter, I get out the trimmer first, then the mower, so I don't need a razor, per se.
I say wax them, especially in winter.
And Secretia's comment, I have tears in my eyes I laughed so hard. You have the greatest commentors.
I have fairly run of the mill leg hair so any old razer will do.
I cant shave every day my legs burn too much, I cant wax either because it gives ingrown hair all over so saving up money for laser. Got it for the arm pits and the bikini line best money ever spent.
My skin is sensitive. I have to lather up with hypoallergenic crap and use lady razors. I hate shaving, but the alternative is worse. Ick!
I use the Mach 3 too! I have for years...
You shave in the winter?
You're my hero.
:)
There's a HUGE difference! Women's razors suck, plain and simple.
I totally agree! What's up with that?!
And I'm with Stacy; my legs haven't seen a razor in a week or two :)
This is very interesting. I've never used a male shaver before. My hubby uses an electric shaver and he once bought me an electric female shaver, but I didn't like it. So, I'm still using the female ones. Too scared to wax.

haha. Nice way to wrap it up!
My husband hates for me to use his razor, therefore he writes my initials on mine! (Now why he doesn't just write his on his, I just don't know.) :)
He didn't notice? I can hear the screams from the other side of the house when I use Hubs' razor. But, I LIKE his razor.
I suspect though if you bought a razor like his it wouldn't shave as good, though.
Too funny! I've never tried using a men's razor, but will have to give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!
My husband freaks out if he even suspects I have been near his razor. You'd think my legs grew barbed wire or something. But yes, I think some of those female razors have gotten a bit too "cushy" to get the job done.
They outta make a 2-pack!
Well Said!
I use those yellow bics for women.
lots of love and
hugs
I've always wondered if there was a difference. Thanks for the info. I might have to try a men's razor now.
shave on sista...shave on;)
Oh I'm lucky, I shave my legs about once every couple of months, for some reason it just doesn't grow on my legs! I could tweeze it there are so few if I wanted to bother. So for me, the lady's shavers more than do the trick.
I agree! I got lucky and got my husband's awesome razor after he bought a bunch of refills and then decided he didn't like it. It's awesome and way better than any lousy women's razor that I've tried before. And it's silver, not pink or lavendar or mint green which for some reason all women's razors are...
YES to men's razors, but an even bigger yes to men's heated shaving cream... Every time I go home to visit my family, I sneak a use of my dad's shaving cream heater. Makes doing my legs (almost) fun!
Need a man...well of course.
Oh razors.. I guess I am lucky and not too hairy, the girly ones are fine.
Nice laugh with my coffee
My hubs doesn't leave his razor in the shower. Now I know why. Hmph.
I swear by a man's razor. My bristle pad legs can't do a lady razor. Good for you!
Amen!
And I so want to try that "As seen on TV" pad thing that you just rub the hair away. Sounds like much less work.
Ditto that!! But I always, and I very literally mean ALWAYS, cut myself with my man razor.
I am afraid to use a man razor. I am sure I will end up bleeding all over the place. Although the lady razors really do not do a good job! I need something in-between.
You are so funny! I have stolen my husband's, as well. Maybe we should start an anonymous group so we can all come out of the shadows (or showers).
:-)
i've been using hubby's razor for years now!! every time i switch back to a women's version...i throw it away and steal his again!!
We buy the value pack of razors at Costco and all of us use them. Thank heavens JR won't use the ones I leave in the shower because they are too dull for him. Or he thinks they are. HA!
I have to stop leaving mine in the shower - now I know what's happening to it.
"I grow it like a man"
I TOTALLY needed that guffaw this morning. Thank you so much! I may have to sneak a few of hubs razors for a try. I think I'm about to the 'sings like a cricket' point when I climb into bed. But hey, what's winter without a little fur?
LOL!! I gotta admit that it's easier to reach for my husband's razor than to scramble around for mine...
Ok some women, like me and my sister grow leg hair so stiff it stops epilators ( yeah my sister went there, I learned from her painful mistake). I agree men's shave way better and I think the reason is because they are designed to grab and cut coarse facial hair as a rule, and a face with all the bumps and curves. For shaving lotion go for your conditioner foryour hair or invest in Coochy cream. both work wonders and make a ton of difference when shaving AND they leave your skin sooo smooth..
i really dont even know where to begin with this one...you had me at the title..lol.
when my wife takes my razors, they become hers...i dont want them back.
There's a huge difference! I've noticed that too! The female versions never last very long, while the men's version seems to give a MUCH better shave.
I use my husband's too :)
Luckily, I can still use the girly kind. Whew! But during the winter I may or may not shave, usually not.

My favorite razor is a mans too, not my husbands - he would kill me - but a mans.
I'm not real hairy, but I'm about to fall for those weak, girly ones ;)
:) You crack me up! My husband uses an electric razor, so we definitely don't want to use that one in the shower!
I use an electric one. When I use mans or a woman's I cut myself, so it's electric for me.
Ha ha! Hubs uses an electric so I can say I have not tried his!!
Isn't it something that a mans razor works better. My husband is always using my razors and then he puts them back. GRRR they are dull then.
i use guy razors too. the girly ones just don't cut it - literally. lol
I got so sick of my wife using my razor, and my face getting cut because of it- I went to electric 20 years ago!
lol @ Secretia!
I have never even considered using a man's razor. Hubs and I don't even share a bathroom so I would have to buy my own anyway.
I think there must be a difference since my husband hates using mine in the shower. I think it's too wimpy too.
My husband only uses an electric razor. I use the one with the big soap thing attached.
I completely agree that there is a difference, I use a men's razor, I have no shame in it either. Oh and have you ever noticed that our blades are more expensive then the mens?
LOL That title certainly got my attention. I haven't used my hubby's razor to shave my legs, maybe I should try the same experiment?
http://atticgirl.blogspot.com/2009/12/hop-skip-jump-some-white-hot-chocolate.html
I secretly use hubster's razor, he only notices every once in a while. LOL
Cece
My legs need a man, lol!
I agree with you 100%... I think the women's razors need a man makeover.
I totally agree with this. Its simply not fair.
I couldn't agree more! I always use men's razors!
Amen. My legs need a man too.
i TOTALLY agree.. i'll use hubbys and its SO MUCH better!!!!
Agree... Not sure if it is the the grass is greener thing but my hubby's razor is soooo much better
You know what, I have to agree with you.
I can't say that I've ever noticed. Hmmmm. I'll check it out and get back to you...in March.
LOL, I've used my husbands razor once or twice before. I actually like his better!
I think they're better because they're meant for burly facial hair. I can't use Felix's, he would DIE, but I do buy a men's razor for myself :)
If his razors weren't so expensive, I might do the same...but I am just that cheap that I'll use the same chick razor for up to 3 weeks!
Ha ha, I thought I was the only one who prefered her husbands razor. You just cant beat the closeness a mans razor gives...
OMG. I am off to buy a man's razor then. And the man in the house is NOT allowed to jack it up with all his gross chin hair.
lol!!!!
i use hubby's as well. i agree--the'yre better!
sry abt my writing, holding baby
I never thought about that. There probably is a difference though. If my husband's worked better I'd probably use his too!
Men's razors huh? I will have to check them out. I don't have a guy around to borrow from.
I completely agree! I steal my hubs razor in the shower all the time.
Much to my hubs annoyance, I use his Mach alllllll the time!
Another one of those times when it is good to be a goat!
I hear you sister! Girly razors actually end up cutting me more than men's. I prefer a man's razor 100%.
Hilarious post! I love your double standard!
You know what I have a friend who needs the big guns and I never understood until we were at the park in pants and I seen her ankles ACK!
I don't really grow hair but now I understand some women do.
True that, blueviolet, true that. I mean, I can't speak for your legs needing a man, but there IS a difference in the male/female razors. Fo Sho.
Thanks for the kind comment and the follow! I love your name. And I am humbled to be followed by such a popular bloggy peep!
Mox
Hmm... I never knew that..
Have a great day..
love it! Brilliant and honest. :)
I love hubbies razor also. Women razors suck!!
Hm, I'll have to test your theory. Although it being winter, I'm not shaving as often (and glad to see I'm not the only one!). I shave my legs maybe twice a week. Would go longer but it makes me crazy. Does your DH know you use his razor? =)
I have only ever used a man's razor. However, in my youth, I was a little harsh with the shaving and still have the scars to prove it! I guess I really wanted those legs to be smooth!
Amen, sista! Give me the big guns, we have a big area to shave, why aren't our razors better?!
I am a big fan of the Bic Soleil razors. Beside being pretty, they do a great job on my legs. I have the man-fuzz, too.
This is too funny! I, like you, am convinced there is a difference between the shavers for men and women-they seem to last longer and cut better, so yes, I may have borrowed the hubby's razor a time or two...
Thanks for stopping by and comment.
bring on the big guns! god i hate shaving. but it is REQUIRED, and the man shaving units seem to do a better job. i also use man shaving cream, as the lady stuff is just too expensive.
My legs needed a man, too. Then I had them lasered. Won a hair removal treatment in a contest. Heaven. Pure heaven!!
One of my biggest pet peeves is the cost of razors. It makes me crazy to spend that kind of money on something like that...but I would go nuts without them!
i have to look into BF's razor... : )
I need to come over and shave your legs for you with the two different razors so that I can see the difference myself!
Lol, I'm using female ones :)
I just need a razor period. Left mine in FL and don't have anything to do the job on my little Texas excursion. BUT I am thrilled to know that someone has done the lady vs. man razor experiment. I was always wondering...
I used my father's razor once (before I was allowed to shave). He came downstairs with little bits of toilet paper stuck to all the bleeding spots. I learned my lesson early.
Skip the razor give me a weed wacker. LOL. I do love to use hubbies razor I can totally tell a difference.
I had no idea. I'm going to start buying men's blades.
My legs hate me when I use disposable razors. I have my own b/c it stays in the shower. Hubs shaves at his sink. It kinda skeeves me out to share certain stuff like that, even w/ my hubs...
LOL you always make me giggle!
Rick started keeping his in his drawer so years I ago I switched to mine with the suction cup in there! But I do notice I have to do it more often. Evil plan to make us buy more!
Lol! I started using my hubby's razor too. He shouldn't have left it in reach if he doesn't want me to use it!
I've never used a ladies razor, so I never gave it a thought.
I've tried both and I don't really see that much of a difference ... other than the man's razors don't seem to pop out their blades as easily!!! And I grow it like a man too!
hopefully there is...i am guessing...during my pregnancy i shaved my legs..
I never thought of using my hubbies shaver. It's good to know it would prob work better.
We always just buy men's razors--they seem to hold up better for some reason. Isn't that odd??
I have started to buy and use the same one my husband uses. They are so much better than the woman's razors.
Mat doesn't like me using his, says the extra use dulls his razors out faster. But... I AGREE. Their razors work much better for me.
I use a tweezer !!
Most Definitely. I've been using a Gilette for years. It seriously is SO much better.
Ha Ha, I bet Oscar would just be happy if I used a razor once in a while - TMI? He does keep his in the shower though with mine so maybe I will try it next time, whenever that is...
I'm with you mama! I use the hubs' disposables too. Why do they make them soo much better and ours crappy?!? I'm Italian Gosh Darnit!! :P
I was rolling you are so funny. I don't even grow a lot of hair but I love my hubby's razors. He does not leave them in the shower EVER because he claims they will be dull but that is a lod of crap. Dudes are just all freaky about their blades I guess.
BTW I am so saving for that laser treatment. AWESOME!
I steal my husband's razor too...he uses a Retro Razor. It's great! I totally recommend it!
Otins coments is hilarious - what a guy!
I used to use my cheating ex's mach3 which was AWESOME. I now use the Quattro (for women, not the disposable version) it is perfect!
I also prefer the "man razors"
I mean, they are necessary!
I only shave with men's razors - we just get the big pack from Costco. With 3 of us using them (me, hubby and the teen) we go through quite a lot. I am totally not being green here... don't turn me in. :)
Okay missy, what were you doing inside my head? :P It's exactly that way for me...my husband finally gave in and we just share the razor blades. They fit perfectly on his rough-tough "manly" razor and just as perfectly on my pretty purple and white "lady" one, LOL!
What your legs need is the Venus 5-blade sucker. That is the ONLY razor that will swipe right through my man hairs! It's also the most comfy shave you can imagine.
Justine :o )
OMG You are just too funny! Hubby and I have an easy agreement in our house, he hates my razors and I hate his. Makes life great here!
I've never tried the female versions, but I have noticed tremendous differences between the various brands and even differences between the disposable and non-disposable versions.
You're so cute! I've never used Leo's...but maybe I should now??
:::laughing hysterically:::
:) that's awesome. you are so stinkin' funny.
and it's so true, those lady razors can be pretty lame when you need the hefty stuff!
Well--now I kinda want to try a man's razor. Too bad I read this after going to the grocery store.
Good thing you are talking about your legs....I was starting to get worried! HAHA
I bought the disposables once when I got caught short on vacation. I just remember the little moisturizing strip leaving a trail of slime up my leg like a snail had stood on my kneecap and thrown up.
Didn't care for it.
I'll have to try one of my husbands razors!
I have been sneaking my hubbies for a while too- definitely does the trick!
Girl- you get so many comments! go, go go!!! :)
I would not be happy if Melinda was using my razor. I am sure she doesn't want me to shave my back with her razor. LOL.
BTW - I do not shave my back. Well sometimes I do like every other week on Saturday.

I'm always scared the men's razors would give me bad razor burn, the way the cheap ladies' ones do. How do you avoid that out of curiosity?
I have to agree - the mens razors are so much better than the same type of womens razor. Don't know why, but they are and I prefer using the mens!
I agree too! Why do they make the mens' so much better???
Oh Yeah!! I use Hubby's too-- but not disposable...but catch him with mine is gonna make me one mad momma!! LOL!!
I never thought about that... I bet it does work better! My hubby doesn't leave his in the shower though. hmmmmmm... I may have to try it out though!
{gasp}. Your legs need a man?
Hey but you're right. I once ran out of razors and grabbed his. How very wrong to use man blades.
I prefer a man's shave cream and razor, too.
I agree 100%
There is a difference but VENUS is the bomb!!!
I completely agree. I don't even buy female razors anymore. I just steal the hubbys. He don't seem to care or at least he has never said anything about it.
I know the feeling, and mine's worse since I became pregnant. I need a freakin' bush-hog....
Isn't that the truth!! Now he has the kind that also vibrates for a cleaner shave!! I kid you not!! He hides it from me;)
YES! I totally agree! I always use my husbands- mine is just in the shower so that he doesn't know... :)
Do ya remember about me and shaving? Remember the hair ripping machine? Well, I have not been close with it for about four months now. Yes you can say YIKES and forest.
Yeah. Same here. But it needs to be for the sensitive skin as well. I've taken to using Veet cream though because the smooth lasts longer and the hair doesnt seem to grow back as thick.
Absolutely! They do have better razors. I've been in this predicament before and I liked what I saw.
I SO know what you mean... I live in Florida, so I have to shave every other day, or I'm getting out the machette. I would love to get it waxed, but can't afford it right now... I'm really wishing to save up for laser, just like one of the commenters said - that's my fantasy!!
I've been unable to shave since my cervical spine surgery on 12/14, I'm gonna need a weed wacker by the time I can shave again! Needless to say, I've been wearing pants! :-)
