I’ll never really freak about a bad haircut. My hair grows insanely quickly: two weeks and everything’s better. But quick-grow hair isn’t always a good thing.
I get 5 o’clock shadow.
On my legs.
No wonder my dating life sucks.
I wasn’t clever enough to inherit no-arm-or-leg-hair genes from my Chinese mum. Oh no. Instead I take after my half-Portuguese/quarter-English/quarter-French dad. Sheesh.
I am clever enough, though, to make the Gillette Venus Embrace my new bff. That spring-loaded, five-blade razor delivers the smoothest shave ever. The blades are so close together that they feel like a single edge as the cartridge glides over the skin in a clean sweep. The finish is close, too: I actually get an extra couple of hours of lasting smoothness.
Think what that’s gonna do for my dating! Think Clive Owen is the jealous type?
$15.99, including shower pod and replacement cartridge; at drugstores and mass retailers.

Hey Janine,
What is a good razor for men, then?
Nice! Thanks for the comment/question; I’ll post on that for you tomorrow!
My husband is 1/2 Chinese, 3/8 Spanish and 1/8 German…so he can relate to you. He also has the misfortune of inheriting the hairier European side of his genes. Fortunately for his chest, he takes from his Chinese side. If he didn’t pluck between his eyes, he would have the “Burt” unibrow. :OP
That’s so funny! Does he have good tweezers? Tweezerman actually makes tweezers with a camouflage pattern on them, for the more masculine user! Oooh, I’ll have to do something on that… thanks for the inspiring comment, Wynne! You rock!
He has tweezers, but they’re terrible. They fail to grab the tiny, stubborn re-growths. I love Tweezerman too and I take them everywhere in my makeup pouch. I purchased another one for my husband, but for some reason he thinks his is better. I’ve seen the camouflage ones, they look cool. I”m not sure if it would change his mind about switching over though…
Men. Sheesh.
Actually, The Hubs keeps his Tweezermans in better condition than me, so I’m always trying to steal them. He uses the plain silver – which I’d recommend over the coloured ones. When the plastic coating gets wet it peels off…
Clearly you have an evolved model. Husband, I mean, not Tweezermans. Hi Brent! Tee hee! Thanks for the comment and the tip about the finish, Chantel!
