Product Of The Month

Friday, October 2, 2009 11:50:17 AM

Shopping. Fun? Necessary? Neither? Both? None? Three quarters one, one quarter the other?
Does it fucking matter?
We live in a complicated world full of words.
We also live in a time of little pleasures and sometimes luxuries, should we be lucky enough to find them, afford them, and allow ourselves to see the joy that a small product can actually bring.
It's all subjective, of course, but seeing as this is my blog, bitches, I shall ramble, once a month, about a product that, for whatever reason, brings joy to me.

October's product:
Is girly, but I chose a picture with some man appeal. Thank me. Now!
What's it called?
Gillette Venus Breeze.

What does it do? It's a type of razor, designed for women, with replacable blades.
How much is it? The razor is anywhere from £4-8, refills are 4 for around £8.
What's so special about it?
Well, I've pretty much tried and tested every razor out there, and this one wins.
- The head pivots easily for the curves of your knees, other womanly curves, et cetera
- Each head comes with gel bars, which smell quite good, so no need for foam, ensuring a quick, easy shave
- The gel bars will last a long time. You can pretty much shave everywhere you usually would 4-5 times before it needs replacing
- It shaves really close to the skin, and I've not nicked or cut myself with it yet.
So basically, it's an efficient, effective, economic razor.

Thank you, ma'am.

Sounds good, my ex had nothing good to say about shaving her legs.

Darkogdare # Friday, October 2, 2009 12:11:24 PM

Why is she smiling so wide?

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 12:14:00 PM

Gavin - it's really, really good! Very fast and easy. I actually rather like shaving. I like most acts of cleaning actually, I find it therapeutic

.

Dark - it could be one of three things - she could be happy she's so smooth, she could be very pleased to see you, or she could have ingested the gel part and be feeling rather funny

Flamingo Rinseflamingo-rinse # Friday, October 2, 2009 12:49:07 PM

My daughter (13) uses one of those

Darkogdare # Friday, October 2, 2009 1:47:51 PM

Then she is pleased to see me

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 2:34:14 PM

Nick - coolie. It is really good

.

Dark - I thought you might say that

Dark FurieFurie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:15:40 PM

Darko, look at the size of the razor compared to her then take into account you can't see her holding the razor, with her hands at least...

r♡serose-marie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:20:34 PM

So you can use these without additional gel?
I like Gilette too, but it's so darn expensive.

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:23:35 PM

Mik, I actually considered saying something to this effect

.

Rose - yes, no need for shaving foam or gel or anything. Actually I got out of the shower a little while ago. I managed to shave from ankle to hip, armpits and, um, bikini in about four minutes. It's that quick.

r♡serose-marie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:25:50 PM

So you left your upper body all hairy?

You're quick!

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:29:41 PM

You shave elsewhere than legs, pits and downstairs?

. I'm not quick - the razor is

Dark FurieFurie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:34:32 PM

How furry is Rose?

I thought I was the only one with hairy boobs.

r♡serose-marie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:35:03 PM

Haha!

Perhaps I should invest in one then. There are few things I loathe as much as shaving.

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:38:14 PM

You hate it too? But... But shaving makes everything so wonderfully smooth... It's great...

r♡serose-marie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:43:18 PM

The result is, but getting there is so boring!

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:44:05 PM

Which is why you want this razor

r♡serose-marie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:45:30 PM

God, you should work in sales!

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:48:43 PM

I'd so suck at that!

Nah, I just like to share a good product when I find one. Ask Grum, she's switched to so much stuff cause of me

I'm annoying but useful.
Like shaving

r♡serose-marie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:51:37 PM

For what it's worth - I think higher of you than I do of shaving

Gavin Tripp-Sheedygarlingmatthews # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:54:32 PM

I don't think that I'll be switching to those razors

Dark FurieFurie # Friday, October 2, 2009 3:59:49 PM

Not even for shiny legs like that?

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 4:35:17 PM

Rosie - well, goodie! And I, you

.

Gavin - why not?

KittyliciousZaphira # Friday, October 2, 2009 6:21:37 PM

Nice tip!

Can you use them with additional foam when the "stripes" of gel run dry?

I think they're way too expensive too!

Dacotah # Friday, October 2, 2009 7:23:39 PM

I've seen this on tv and wondered if it works as good as it says. I might try it now.

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 8:25:05 PM

Yes Kitty. It says to discard once the gel has gone *or* when the blades dull

.

Carol, if you do, let me know what you think. I used to use Gillette Intuition and I thought that was good enough, but this is way better.

Cleanclean # Friday, October 2, 2009 9:31:01 PM

Waxing ... Epilady ... Sandblasting ... Lobotomy ... Trepanation ... back in the day, these are the things people with balls of steel used to rid themselves of wookie pelt!

These days it's all 'smoothness this' and 'no bleeding that' and 'OMG you can see the bone there!'

Humans. So soft. So smooth. So not as hairy as they used to be ...

Spaggyj # Friday, October 2, 2009 9:37:45 PM

You are a ball of welcome hilarity, Davey boy

you weird, weird man

Cleanclean # Friday, October 2, 2009 9:47:48 PM

Dacotah # Friday, October 2, 2009 10:12:11 PM

I will, that was the other one I was thinking of since my electric shaver doesn't work to good.
I do like the Smooth Away that works good too, although some reports says it doesn't.

Diabolical # Saturday, October 3, 2009 12:51:27 AM

It wins?
Ok Chewbacca are you sure it works?

Spaggyj # Saturday, October 3, 2009 7:40:12 AM

Carol - mm, I've used things like that before. I'm not very keen on them. Makes me feel as though I'm made of wood, sandpapering my legs

.

CB, shut your face. Go eat something

Cleanclean # Saturday, October 3, 2009 7:50:33 AM

He's got more aliases than Billy the Kid!

'CB?' What's the 'B' stand for?

Spaggyj # Saturday, October 3, 2009 7:54:26 AM

Chocolate Bear

. I've been watching too much Scrubs

. He's also "Sammy" and "Nutchin"

Cleanclean # Saturday, October 3, 2009 8:15:15 AM

Dacotah # Saturday, October 3, 2009 8:43:49 AM

Kimmie, I thought it would too but it leaves my legs smooth.

Dacotah # Saturday, October 3, 2009 8:44:18 AM

I've VB.

Spaggyj # Saturday, October 3, 2009 9:16:31 AM

Meh, I never really liked using them. It takes forever.. Plus, my skin's really delicate at rubbing at it with grainy stuff just makes it peel and crack

Diabolical # Saturday, October 3, 2009 1:17:38 PM

Chewbacca mean..

Dacotah # Saturday, October 3, 2009 3:01:31 PM

x
I am going to try the razor.

Diabolical # Saturday, October 3, 2009 3:22:01 PM

Don't forget the bikini line.

Dacotah # Saturday, October 3, 2009 3:24:47 PM

I won't.

Diabolical # Saturday, October 3, 2009 5:09:53 PM

Pictures or it didn't happen.
