Now that warm weather is here to stay, I’m slowly coming out of hibernation and pulling out the fun dresses and cute shorts I haven’t been able to wear for months. Of course, that means it’s also to time for me to ensure my legs are soft, smooth and ready to show off!

Nourish Your Skin! Reader Reviews of the Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment Razor

April 30, 2013 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

Last month I had the chance to be one of the first Canadians to try the new Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment razor and I loved the sweet-smelling moisturizing bar that let me skip the shaving lotion in the shower. I was also able to give fifty of my fabulous readers the opportunity to try the razor as well and the reviews are in!

Plenty of readers loved the great smell of the shaving bar and noticed that shaving their legs was quicker without using shaving foam. Many also mentioned how effectively the razor moisturized their skin as they were shaving.

I tried the razor and love how soft it makes my skin feel, not all dry and razor burned. Love the coconut smell of the soap.

I love that there is no preparation except wetting the razor and the area to be shaved. My skin feels smooth and soft after using the razor. I have sensitive skin and after shaving I had no bumps, no cuts and no razor burn! I was especially pleased when I had no irritation after shaving my underarms as this is often a problem with other razors, even with shaving cream.

As I’m prone to dry skin, the moisturizing head is perfect for me and I was glad it had only a faint but pleasant fragrance. Running the razor over my legs felt more like rolling on body lotion than shaving. There was no pulling or drag at all. I was amazed how silky it felt and I got a very close, long lasting shave. This product will be a great convenience when I go camping this summer. All I have to do is dip the razor in a cup of water, pour water down my leg and shave, another cup of water to rinse – done! No messy gel or foam container to haul around.
~Lisa H.

I really liked this razor. Looking at it on the shelf, I never thought I would like it, and never had the chance to try it until now. It is really easy to use, and I was surprised at how well it performed without any shave cream being used. I also find that it takes less time to shave my legs than before, which is a happy thing because it’s such an onerous task to begin with. It left my legs feeling soft and smooth. I really like this razor, and it will probably be the one I use from now on.
~Jennifer H.

I LOVE this new razor! I have very dry skin and always get very itchy, but my legs felt great after shaving! I will definitely be using it from now on!
~Erin M.

I loved that I didn’t need to use shaving cream with this – it’s great how it’s built right in. It’s much better than struggling with a razor and a can of shaving cream in the shower.

Be One of the First to Try the New Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment Razor-Giveaway

March 1, 2013 by Kathryn 155 Comments

As much of a bother as it can be sometimes, I love having smooth, soft legs. Even in the winter when many women relax their regular shaving routine, I make sure that my legs are as smooth as possible. Of course, that can get hard when cold winter weather leaves skin dry and tight. So when I was given the chance to be one of the very first women in Canada to try the Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment razor, I was pretty excited.

The Schick Intuition razor features a solid shaving bar surrounding a pivoting razor with four blades. The bar eliminates the need for shaving gel to make the shaving process quick and easy. And the new Pure Nourishment razor takes smooth skin to a new level with the hydrating power of coconut milk and almond oil!

The Venus Embrace Razor-Not Just for First-Time Shavers

January 25, 2013 by Kathryn 23 Comments

When I was a young adult, Gillette introduced the very first Venus razor. It had three blades and an oval head that glided over the skin, making it much easier to use than the disposable razors that my mom favoured. I knew I had to have it and even back then, I felt the Venus difference.

Over the years, the Venus razor has changed a lot. It now comes with five blades and a variety of styles and features to suit different women with different needs. And recently Proctor and Gamble sent me the Venus Embrace razor so that I could see how I liked it.

The Venus Embrace razor is designed with a first-time shaver in mind. Its curved oval head helps minimize nicks and cuts while the silicone grip handle helps to ensure that the razor glides easily over the skin without slipping out of the hand. It’s essentially a “starter” razor so I was curious to see how it would work for me.

One of my very best tips for achieving silky smooth legs is to always use a body scrub before shaving. It sloughs off dead skin cells so that the razor will cut the hair as close to the skin as possible, resulting in legs that feel smoother and stay that way longer. I used my favourite lemon body scrub on my legs, rinsed it off well, smoothed on my Satin Care shave gel and grabbed the razor. [Read more…]

Give the Gift of a Great Shave Wet or Dry with the Philips AquaTouch Electric Shaver-Giveaway

December 19, 2012 by Kathryn 213 Comments

I am a big fan of a man with a smooth, close shave. I don’t mind the look of facial hair but when it’s time to get close and cuddly, there’s just nothing better than a clean shave. Philips has been helping men get that close shave they crave since 1939 and now they’re innovating the shaving world once again with the Philips AquaTouch AT940 Wet & Dry Electric Razor.

The Philips AquaTouch electric razor is the perfect example of the exclusive technology that Philips uses for its shaving devices. The most original feature of the AquaTouch is its Aquatec seal, which allows men to use the shaver with shaving cream or gel and water for a less irritating shave as well as being able to use the razor dry.

If your man has ever been frustrated by a dead battery in the middle of a shave with an electric razor, he’ll love the one-hour charge time of the AT940 as well as the unique quick charge feature. In just three minutes, the Philips AquaTouch will charge enough for one shave, approximately five minutes. [Read more…]
