Thread: Is the Safety Razor ideal for shaving chest, pubic area and other body areas ?!

Hi All !
Hope everyone is good ! I was wondering is a safety razor ideal for shaving bodily areas apart from the face ?! I wouldn't go as far as trying a cartridge type razor as it can cause skin burn and irritation and and the blade would have to frequently cleaned to get rid of hairs stuck in between.
Thanks !

I just use a trimmer, never a blade.

Sadly I don't have a trimmer, I believe a blade would yield much closer results thus going for longer without shaves !

there is nothing wrong with that at all....I have personally used it for trimming body hair. Just be carefull not to push hard at all!

I don't see why not. It would be a lot safer than using a straight ....

Yea it works great for body shaving, that is what i use, just have to be very careful on some spots

Do you know the names of the razors you speak of?

My wife uses a a gillette super speed I picked up cheep and cleaned up for her. Gillette made a ladies safety razor. If you look up ladies Gillette you will see them they had a lite blue handle, they were very similar to the super speed.

Depends on the body part... Some areas, only a trimmer, some maybe a DE and some a cartridge.

It's a question of risk versus reward

Well, they still use them in some hospitals for pre-surgical prep, so why not?
