History of Feminism

Venus recently did a study and found that 30 percent of women are using a razor that's made for a guy. (If you're thinking it seems biased because Venus wants us to use Venus, know that Venus is owned by Gillette, which makes the men's razors that so many of us are using.) Yes, we've got plenty of friends who think their BF's razor is better than their own, but we've actually never gotten that advice from a hair-removal expert. So why do so many women shun the lady-shaver?

Well, Venus found that some women think the guy's blades are sharper. However, the ones they use in the Gillette Fusion Power are exactly the same as the Venus Embrace. Another theory? Some women like the way the men's razors look—sleek, shiny and silver. But there are so many reasons the women's versions are designed differently: We're shaving 18 times more surface area than men! The oval face glides easily, there are more moisturizing strips and the squishy handle keeps it from slipping—and helps us not cut up the backs of our knees. Which would you rather: A silver razor or nick-free legs?
