I’ve been known to have hair on my body. Shocking, yes? I’m not a hairy girl by any means (because you were interested, yes?), but shaving is sort of nice (smoooooth legggs, mmm) so I buy razors. Not fancy ones, mind you, but the regular sort of “middle class” disposable ones (my mom buys the “lower class” ones that leave my legs feeling gross, so I’m sort of a razor snob, but not really). I’d run out recently, so I had been using the “lower class” sort, but yesterday I cried “I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!” and went to stock up on some satisfactory ones. (My back stories are always so interesting.)
I got a package of Gillette Daisy Whatevers… they are pink and have an aloe strip thing and are good enough for me, and it came with a sample of a more expensive razor, yay! It’s a Gillette Venus disposable and looks like this:
Nice, yes? All colourful, and *reads off package* with “3 blades, a moisture strip, a pivoting head and shapely handle. Smoothest legs ever from a disposable*.”
…
I bet you’re all dying to know what the footnote attached to that asterisk is, right?
Well, here it goes…
* Scented Handle
… Yeah.
WHAT?! A SCENTED HANDLE?! WHY?! Who out there has been thinking “Wow, I’m shaving my legs, underarms and other regions potentially and WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT IF THIS HANDLE WAS SCENTED?!” I tried to see if it would make my hand scented… but, no, I really can’t pick up the scent. In order to smell it, I must SNIFF MY RAZOR HANDLE.
I REALLY don’t have anything else to say on this matter because it REALLY speaks for itself. :|
I love Venus Razors, but… scented… really? =/
I have a feeling, these are going to get recalled. Why? Allergic reactions.
Uhhh… it makes your hands smell nice? :P Who knows. People will do anything to sell products.
*murders Chrome* This is the third time in 2 hours that it gives me error on your comments page D:
Ahem anyway, I tried out the Venus one (sans scented handle) a few months ago and they were nice. It wasn’t disposable though, just had changeable um… how do you call the sharp part that cuts? :P
Hehe, I like that the scented handle is an extra bonus. What if you don’t like the scent though. I know… ze horror!
Lmao! I can’t stop imagining someone pausing for a moment while shaving to sniff the handle. I wonder how someone even came up with the idea of a scented handle. :P
I’d personally like to know what scent the handle has…
Haha, random useless invention strikes again! I wonder whether people will buy the razor thinking/knowing that their hands will have a nice fragrance after use :P
I. hate. scented. handles. Back in April, I had finally run out of the razors I bought from home and didn’t have any way of getting to the grocery store, so I bought some Bic razors from my college’s convenience store. The only kind they had smelled like “Berry Blast.” Uck.
What? That seems kind of pointless to me. :/
As ridiculous as scented razor handles are they don’t quite rival scented tampons…
I can’t actually make this stuff up D:
Wow, that is pretty weird. Especially since you actually have to stop and sniff the handle. Ad execs must be the most bored people on earth sometimes!
Also, as to that last comment by Lilian LMFAO!! I had never really thought of that, but yes, that is utterly pointless.
I think there are some men out there working on product lines thinking that all women’s stuff has to smell pretty.
Interesting.
... I take back what I said about scented razors. Yes, being scented is still beyond ridiculous, but since using them my legs have been so soft and ...
Ohhhhh kay then
First
That is retarded… thats why we has shampoo and conditioner and body wash and shaving cream and every other sented goddamned thing in our shower we do not need to sent out handles as well… next it will be sented body poofs. No wonder we have so many allergies these days ..
Second
WHY THE HELL ARE YOU USEING DISPOSIBLE RAZORS!! That is so un environmental!!!! For Shame ling! I am very disapointed. You better buy one of my toothbrushes made out of recycled old dollar bills to make up for the hanous crime you’ve commited :P
kay but yeah … they really will market anything to stupid girls…..
Side note : sented tampons are SO BAD FOR YOU !!
if your Vag smells bad theres a problem don’t mask it … Keep this in mind gentlement … if it smells like flowers, clap!
