Safety razors for body hair — worth switching?
Hey everyone! I've been using regular disposable/cartridge razors forever and I'm thinking of switching to a safety razor for body hair. Honestly a big part of this is wanting to avoid the pink tax — women's razors are so overpriced for basically nothing extra, feels pointless to keep paying for it.
Before I invest, wanted to hear from anyone who's actually made the switch:
- Have you used a safety razor? How was the learning curve?
- Did you get a lot of cuts/nicks when you started, or does it get easier fast?
- Which blades do you use, and how often do you replace them?
- Any brands (razor + blades) you'd recommend for beginners in India — easy to find, good price point?
- Does it actually last longer/save money compared to cartridge razors long term?
- Any tips for underarms/bikini area specifically, since those spots feel trickier?
Also curious about a couple of alternatives I keep seeing ads for — the Luna razor and the Philips OneBlade Intimate trimmer. Has anyone tried either? Wondering if they're actually worth the price (₹1,900+ for the OneBlade) compared to just going the safety razor route.
Would love to hear real experiences before I buy one.
