wierd question

My razors have like a blue gel stuff at the top of them and once they don't have that anymore, I change it. I can go a while though because I am lazy and cheap and don't buy razors very often!

PS...I also use DH's razors in a crunch...he gets SO mad!

I only use DH's razor (gilette fusion)... He has 2... one for himself and i got his older one... As long as its still cutting easily, I leave it on.... I change often though bc i have to shave every single time in the shower... its a sickness... even in the winter!

when i go to shave and the hair wont come off

This!

Depends in the summer probably once a week, in the winter with DH in CT I am a bear half the time, so much less often. Honestly I just change it when it either doesn't work well anymore. I hate fresh blades, I always cut myself.

FYI, girls who shave their knees or bikini areas (I know what your all thinking, don't you wax?)... I can't wax, I break out with HUGE bumps whenever I get waxed, so I found these razors, they are tiny little razors from Noxema, and they work great on the bikini line or on your knees. Its like combing the hair, only it comes off. And they do a great job.

yup, that one!

i use gillete disposables, venus i think.

i change about every two weeks.

Honestly.... I try to change it once a week.

True story.... I had a BAD BAD BAD infection in my lymph nodes in my armpits from a razor. Because of the metal it can hold germs. And when you shave you open your skin for the germs to come in. I had these awful hard painful bumps under each arm. I couldn't put my arms down at my sides. I couldn't move, it hurt so bad... it was really bad.... they were the size of large grapes... and I had 5 to 10 on each underarm!!!! I didn't know what it was.... and to me it seems like what tumors would look like. I went to the dr and it was a lymph node infection from a razor blade..... and spread it to both because of the razor. So I try to be careful to change the blades as often as I can.

razors are just sooo expensive!!!! I hate that!!!

ETA: I use gillette venus I think. All the gillette blades fit on it... I have a fav but I'll use others if the don't have. So I don't even use disposables and I had that infection.
