Oh marketing

[badoingdoing]

I use Shick green razors. A simple double-bladed kind, with that strip of lubricant/lotion/whatever-it-is to make them a little nicer. Years ago, I tried all different kinds of razors, and these were the kind that gave me the least razor burn (Though I can still only shave every other day. This is a problem

i wonder if we can go to whole foods or somesuch and get earthy-crunchy deodorant and razors, which are too busy being generically crunchy to be gendered? Actually my favorite deodorant is a Lush product (Aromacreme), and they're pretty gender-free (i like how they go "ooh, sparkly!" or "Yarr, pine!" without specifying WHO should be using each thing :)

what if people don't want to be crunchy and don't want to be gendered?

Tom's of Maine seems to sell a crunchy non-gendered deodorant. (Or if it was gendered, I couldn't tell.) I picked some up when I hit CVS a couple days ago (lavender, which seems to be the direction all my purchases of that nature are going).

Oooo I love Tom's of Maine products. I find them hard to find though, do all CVS stores carry them or just the one near you?

[sprrwhwk]

I don't know. I got the one I mentioned from the Porter Square CVS, and the Central Square Star definitely carries some of them; I don't know about other Shaw's stores or CVSes. I'd be surprised if Harvest didn't have a wide selection. Ditto Cambridge Naturals out in Porter, unless Tom's is insufficiently crunchy for them.

Ah, I do not generally frequent any of the places you just mentioned, which explains why I seldom encounter this product.

But I have been meaning to go to Harvest more often anyway; now I have an additional reason!

(I wonder if Tom's of Maine will become easier to find when I move to Maine... ;^)
