The price of disposable razors

[landsurfer]

I am male.
I shave my face because I find the growth of hair upon it uncomfortable.

My wife is female.
She shaves her armpits, pubic area and face because she finds the growth of hair upon them uncomfortable.

The razors. From Aldi, disposable.

I buy the razors, we use the razors.

Although I buy the razors the funds come from a joint account.
So We buy the razors.
The price is acceptable, the quality high.

Seems like she's taking you for a ride on the razor front.

Why do women need to buy razors of any colour?

They have no need to shave.

To remove unwanted hair, the same as men.

I've not had a shave in over 12months.
Nor a hair cut either.

Bit extreme to remove a body hair though.

Re: discomfort, why does my crotch itch like mad if I shave it, when my face doesn't?

I think its a different grade of hair, coarser probably. I think its one of those "little and often" areas ...

The first time I shaved any part of me since 4 November 1979 was just before this Christmas when I shaved my chest before an ECG.

I do have to trim long hair under the Armpits and other places not talked about. As I have got older body hair has got finer and a lot longer. No longer short and curly but straighter and a lot longer.

My Missus takes razors from my packet. She doesn't worry that they are blue instead of pink.

About gender being a spectrum. Do we tell midwives they have got it wrong when they say "It's a girl"? Do we describe someone we met in the street as being "towards the male end of the spectrum"? I think for most purposes we still have male and female, men and women, boys and girls. And we just make allowances for those who want to reposition themselves. And hopefully we all buy the best razors for our purposes regardless of the colour.

Further from the truth, you cannot get.

Alopecia Universalis.
I have not one single hair anywhere on my body.

Eyelashes - gone
Eyebrows - gone
Nasal hair - gone
Facial hair - gone
Body hair - gone
Leg hair - gone
Naughty Bits hair - gone

The whole lot - gone.
My skin is smooth and clean and soft without any trace of any hair follicles.

........ and I'm not complaining in the slightest.

Sounds handy, and money saving. If you ever find the cause, tell us all so we can follow your example. I'm thinking of the plug holes that won't get blocked any more! The razors that don't have to be bought!

If people lack the imagination to buy yellow razors at a 40% discount to pink ones then I despair.

I presume in my naivety that they do not have spectators while they shave anyway.

How about one that's definitely non-disposable?

[Sadly, I've never tried using this one. It was my dad's, but he gave up using it in favour of a safety-razor when I was still a kid. I did salvage it years later when both my parents had passed on and the family home was being cleared, as you can see. Despite having watched a few videos on the topic, I don't fancy my chances with it, unless I want to become one of Sweeney Todd's victims.....]

No "cause" from what I've read other than auto-immunne disorder ........ and they only "currently believe" this.
Have a sufti at Wiki, it's as good as I can find anywhere, though I don't have any family members with alopecia of any sort.

That's pretty much what I was getting at when I started the thread.
