2. I don't buy "just for women" crap

Mostly because it's overpriced. I also like basic things like witch hazel, apple cider vinegar, bag balm, tea tree oil/aloe blend, organic coconut oil ect. Wrinkle creams are useless, toning and moisturizing for skin health can be done from the grocery store. (And I'm not an all out health food person--not even vegetarian--I just don't like spending money on nonsense)

As far as razors--price. I shave my husband these days, take care of any hair he (or I)dislikes and groom his beard. (He's looking good too) We use the same kind of men's razor. To me the design isn't sharper, it's just got a solid feel to it.

We can use the same shampoo--in the summer I make a Rosemary hair rinse, and I like things that smell pleasant, and he doesn't care.

Anyway, if a product is gendered when it doesn't have to be, I never buy the women's stuff.
