Thanked: 0straight razor for ladies face
Hello, I hope I am allowed to post a new thread as my very first post ever. I also hope this doesn't break any rules. I need help though!
I am an esthetician. When I was in school I had the opportunity to use a tiny straight razor on my face. It was light blue thin aluminum and had a flower engraved on the end. It came in a box of 4 or 6 and was from Japan. I can not find them anywhere! I do not know what they are called because all of the writing on the box was foreign. I received them from an instructor at the school which is in another state.
I would very much like to find these razors so I can use them again. We used them dry. I know that sounds scary, but the instructor advised us to use them in the same direction as hair growth and use them dry. It never irritated my skin and I looked great. Even after 7 years of waxing--I still get pimples after. I am a licensed skin care therapist, I should not have to choose between pimples and hair!!
If anyone can help, I truly thank you in advance. And, if I broke any rules please accept my apologies.

Huh, I'm curious about what these are too. If you look on the infamous Project Coochie Razor thread, you'll see that there is an ever-growing market for small, short razors that suit the ladies better.
How long was the blade on them? Were they disposable, or like a regular straight razor but smaller?
I'm sorry I can't help really, but interesting post.
P.S. Where are my manners? Welcome to SRP! And of course you're free to post a new thread. We're all family here.Last edited by MistressNomad; 02-19-2010 at 04:19 AM.

I googled Japanese disposable razor and found this:
Hair Products - GABRIELLA Womens Folding Eyebrows & Facial Razor (Quantity: 3 Razors)
This:

From Wikipedia:
An esthetician specializes in the study of skin care, including facials, microdermabrasion, body wraps (relaxing treatments which involve hot linens, plastic sheets, and blankets), salt glows (an exfoliation treatment), waxing as a form of hair removal, cosmetic make-up services and other services with advanced training. Estheticians may work independently in a spa or salon or may assist a doctor in his or her practice. Working with a doctor an esthetician may perform more advanced services that require a doctor's supervision, such as deep chemical peels. In addition to performing beauty services, an esthetician must be skilled in recommending skin and body care products and retailing them to their clients. Many state board cosmetology schools do not offer training in retailing, but post graduate colleges will offer training in retailing skills.
An esthetician can be licensed solely for that skill. An esthetician is not necessarily licensed in cosmetology, but is typically well versed in knowledge of skin care.

Thanks for the info. I don't think they use that term in the UK.
I'd say that a Japanese straight razor would be much more aesthetically pleasing than a disposable.'Living the dream, one nightmare at a time'
