Razor Rant
Women shave. We shave our armpits, our legs and our "bikini" line area. We do this upwards of two times to five times a week depending on place and if we intend to get laid or raise our hands up in the air. Women are amazing with razors because we have to be.
That said...when I moved to Seattle in May with only my couple of suitcases before we did the major move in June, I forgot to bring my Venus Razor. Because I knew I had it, I didn't want to purchase a new one since they're like 9 bucks a piece, so I bought a package of BIC Soleil razors. They were pretty, either double or triple bladed, and had the little rubber grippy bits to keep them from falling into the tub and me stepping on them and slicing open the bottom of my foot. They seemed an ideal solution.
I was incorrect. I missed the little sticker on the package that said they were "lavender scented". Okay so a little smelly razor, not a big deal...I can cope with that. But the trouble came, you see, when it was time to apply the shaving cream to the legs.
Now for those of you without a vagina, let me explain. 80% of women, when they shave their legs, do so in the shower. We stand at some angle with our back kind of blocking the water from the leg in question and then put the razor handle in our mouth as we rub the gel in to cream and apply to our legs. We then take the razor out of our mouth, shave the particular leg, and then turn to the other side and repeat the process. The razor handle spends, on an average shaving experiance, about 3 minutes total in our mouth. The rest of the experiance is a feat of amazment when it comes to deftly balancing with one foot on a soapy bottomed tub while running a sharp blade up and down our legs. The rinsing, that's the easy part. Just don't cut your nose with the razor blade while you hold it in your mouth.
Here in lies my gripe. I go to shave so as not to look like a vintage 60's free love women's libber (I'll act like one, but shaving and bras are good.), put the handle of the razor in my mouth to lather the first leg, and BAM! the most vile and disgusting of all tastes: Chemically enhanced Lavander smell. EW.
Do not make my razors smell like things. Make them ergonomic, make them pretty, put fomy rubber grippy bits on them until they will stick to teflon, but for the love of god , don't make them smelly and/or flavored! Honeslty, who needs their razor to smell like Lavender, or Rain, or Wet Dog? No one. No one needs a lick and sniff razor! Stop making things smell that shouldn't smell!
That is all.
