downstrait (10/07/2015) [-] Your shaver has to cover your face, balls and if so, armpit hair. Hers, most of her body, but mostly her legs. Different tools for different jobs, really.

there is actually a difference in the razors. my ex used her dads razor to shave her leg when she was eleven. she peeled a slither of skin off and bled all over the place. could also be retardation cus 11 yrs old but I think there is a difference between the way the two types are manufactured

MandiMarie (10/08/2015) [-] Same thing happened to my sister when she was around 10 as well and she used one of the women's razors. She also had a rash all over her legs, and it was basically because she didn't know how to shave. I've been using a Shick Hydro on my legs for about 3 years now with no problems.

anon (10/08/2015) [-]
It's because you're not supposed to use other people's razors.
When you use a razor for the first time it might leave a little rash and after that it's fine. The blades adjust to your body shape and bend slightly, your sister was a retard but for a different reason.

Are you saying that the boy's option is "normal" and the girls option is the accessory. The real solution is to stop unneccarily gendering products for profit. Girls are taught to go to the girls aisle. Until I saw this post the first time, I didn't know it was cheaper with the "normal" boys razor. Don't be a dick.

JustintheWaysian (10/07/2015) [-]
It's not that the "male" razor is considered "normal", it's that the "normal" razor is most often bought by men, and women want something different to set themselves apart from men. "We need a special shaver"

makethingsworse (10/08/2015) [-] Special razor with Shea Butter so it makes our skin soft...as if we applied lotion on our legs or something. Basically what I'm saying is women buy products because they make them feel comfortable and men buy products because they ******* work.

darthtomale (10/07/2015) [-] no no. look at the packages. its clear that the companies are marketing to seperate genders. look at the coloring, the font, watch a commercial about the product.. you see it? you notice the difference?
now which one is supposed to be the male one? the cheaper one. no **** thats what was in the content. youre being weird about not admitting something right in front of you.

I mean yeah, RIGHT NOW it is marketed to each gender. But before it wasn't.
It used to be "this is a razor, you shave your body hair with this". That's all there used to be.
Then women wanted one for themselves, distinct from the ones that the men typically got, even if both men and women would get that first kind.
Companies then cater to women. If they cater to women, then might as well cater to men. That's what I'm getting at.

darthtomale (10/07/2015) [-] im not sure it was a female demand. like most cosmetic stuff we see today was driven by advertizements in the early 20th century.
hairlessness, even one tone skin, certain hair styles, body types, ideals of all kinds are really just the design thats been fed to us for like a century at this point.

Suppose it wasn't female demand.
The companies just up and decided "we should make a separate line of product specifically for women".
Now it's in the hands of the female consumers. Pretty sure a company is not going to continue an unsuccessful product line.
If a company puts out a product based on a stupid marketing strategy, and consumers support that product line, it is not the company being sexist or whatever. It is the targeted demographic being stupid for supporting it.
You don't need all the ******** that women's razors come with (which is hardly anything extra, the extra cost is the marketing that goes into it. female consumers are paying more for the marketing, not the product).
If women really want change when it comes to these products, stop supporting them. Buy the cheaper men's razors if money is an issue, drive the expensive women's products off the shelves. If anyone is like "hurrdurr but women cant buy that", tell them to **** off, it's her choice what she buys.
Stop supporting the ******** rather than complaining about it.

If I'm selling something to someone and they start complaining about my product, but they keep giving me money for it, I'm not going to change it.
No company is going to undo a profitable marketing strategy until they start losing money because of that strategy.

like youre just sitting here on a computer passively insulting a person for not doing enough so i guess here you go.
instead of just complaining about her on funnyjunk, if it such a real issue that is, why not round up a few hundred thousand people and have anti-feminist rallies? why not track her down and send her a message personally?
why not? because youre just bandwagonning feminist hatred and you dont actually care and nothing on this site really matters at all.

Because it's really not that big of an issue. The fact that there are enough women in the country who still support female-specific product lines, with cheaper "male-marketed alternatives", shows that they just don't care enough.
I'm not bandwagoning feminist hatred because I actually practice what I preach. I buy off-brand foods and products, I buy bargain brand stuff (that has the same quality as name-brand) because I think it's ******** to spend more money on a product due to it's marketing or it's naming.
But I don't go around complaining about my personal troubles about how "oppressed" people are for having name-brand things marketed to them. Because it's ******* up to me how I spend my money and how I contribute to the economy
And as far as why I even commented on this post, I'm getting real tired of everything being made into a "gender inequality" debate when it's literally the stupidity of the consumers who support the "inequal" products who perpetuate this, not the "patriarchal corporations" or whatever the **** they wanna call it nowadays.
That's how I'm doing my part, speaking out against a ******** ideology. And before you go on saying "well isn't she doing her part by speaking out?", no, because you speak up against ideologies, and you put your money where your mouth it when it comes to economical issues.

but what i do know is i wouldnt get very far openly whining about the fact that youre tired of hearing about gender inequality.
admit there are serious inequality issues and move on from there. its not just a female thing, if youre on funnyjunk half as much as i am you already know by now.
try "yes, and" not "no, but" and i think your point would come across more clearly.

Well I don't openly whine about it. Hell, it was just me pointing out that the issue isn't the gender inequality, but the ****** decisions of consumers. And then it keeps getting rerouted to gender inequality ******** .
So then what?
"Stop bringing it back to gender inequality, that's not the point" = whining?
I'll admit to "serious inequality issues" when they are the actual problem. When they aren't, I can't really admit to it.

darthtomale (10/07/2015) [-] this one example fits into the larger context of what you already aknowledged earlier. women are, and have been, the subject of intensely pervasive ad campaigns that could more or less be considered a "conspiracy" to get women to spend thousands on looking like an ideal.
but if your point is that women are inherently stupid for buying the ad campaigns then thats a whole different thing
but yknow theres the fact that men have to say no homo when they get close to a friend, and are forced to sign up for the draft, the fact that female nipples are illegal, that baby girls are sacrificed in india so that the gods would bless them with a son.
come on man, check the world out, lots of stuff happening in millions of overlapping ways. the problem of gender inequality is huge and fits into and transcends a series of other topics.
your position seems to be small and petty to me. beating a dead horse, like we get it feminazis are annoying. but is that truth so true that it makes even a random person pointing out a fact in a store dumb? i mean what she said was true.

As I said earlier, "I'll admit to inequality issues when they are the actual issue [of the subject in question]"
Yes, I get that men have it harder, in the eyes of others, when getting close to a friend. So yeah, gender inequality on a social level. But honestly, I'd just say that the opinions of others shouldn't matter that much when it comes to friendly relations.
Yes, men are forced to sign up for the draft and women don't. Yes that is gender inequality. But it's not that bad. I only get mildly disgruntled when third-wave feminists want "to be treated the same as men" but cherry pick on what grounds they are treated equally, such as the draft.
Yes, female nipples are illegal and that is gender inequality. Is it really THAT BAD though? Even if we made the baring of nipples legal, how many women would actually go about showing off? IMO, not many, so it doesn't really matter that much.
Baby girls sacrificed in India? Okay, yeah, big problem if the people don't want that practice to go on and they're being forced to do it or whatever. But I don't live in India, I'm not familiar with their laws regarding the treatment of children, so my opinion on whether or not it's wrong is moot. I still have an opinion though, and I think it is wrong. Same goes for female genital mutilation.
And yes, I do get that gender inequality exists everywhere. Is that inequality oppressive? Of all the topics that this blankets over, I really think there are only a few that are actually oppressive or detrimental to a particular sex; the rest are either insignificant or healthy for a functioning society (greatly depends on the individual topic).
In all, yeah, gender inequality exists, but ******* razor marketing? Women indeed are inherently stupid for buying the ad campaigns, and the evidence of that stupidity is the perpetuation of those ad campaigns.

darthtomale (10/07/2015) [-] i cant do anything for you man.
look the fact is that gender inequality is inarguable and it is oppresive because it institutionalizes and popularizes ways to keep everyone on both sides of the isle doing things that they dont want to do because of their genitals. that by itself should be enough for you.
but to sit here on a high horse and say women are stupid for buying into ads without understanding that everyone is stupid because we all buy into ads both proves my point that youre arguing from a bandwaggony position and that youre also actually sexist.
good luck with everything

If this was about men complaining about male-marketed products, then I'd say the majority of men are inherently stupid for buying into the ad campaigns too. Calling me sexist for saying it about women is on you for extrapolating my viewpoint beyond the scope of what I have told you

agentdennis (10/08/2015) [-] You're use of blanket statements is disturbing. Are you ******* stupid? Have you personally met every single person that exists?
Unfortunately, in our society, we vote with our money. Everything you buy supports a corporation that acts a certain way. Don't like Bic's advertisement of razors? Don't buy them. Plain and simple. Their women's line is proof that someone is in fact buying them and perpetuating the product.

durkadurka (10/08/2015) [-] On an institutional level, unequal treatment due to gender is illegal. It doesn't happen, and if you see it happen you should contact authorities.
That being said, gender inequality, at least on a cultural level, is not necessarily oppressive as you claim. Putting women into lifeboats first, for example, is an unequal treatment of gender yet is certainly not oppressive.
Cultural pressures do affect us all to varying degrees, but you cannot use that as an excuse to pretend human agency doesn't exist. At the end of the day, these products exist because people still choose to buy them. There is no sinister cabal trying to get you to buy the pink razor so they can charge you 30 cents more.

But nobody else is of course. A business definitely doesn't function by convincing its target customer to buy what it's selling. Nope, it's just a sinister conspiracy to get women to spend too much money.
Nope, women are totally unique victims here, and of course need special treatment to defend them from the tyranny that is "products marketed towards women".
At least ISIS's sex slaves will be able to rest easy knowing western women aren't being persuaded to buy pink razors.

Actually men's razers are better for legs.fact of fact is presentation of face will always trump presentation of legs. They fit angles better, the blades are often sharper, the lotions on men's blades are actually lotion, not mile thick soaps, and 9/10 times are made of more durable metals. But the fact of fact is men shaving is multioptional, from straight razers to electric shavers. Modern multiblades have to stay competitive, whereas for women the option s are there but at face value straight razers are to scary to even touch and you can't use an electric in a tub, so the prices are gouged based on demand. That and pink plastics cost a **** ton more than black and silver.

jujuface (10/08/2015) [-] It's not about the razor being pink. It's not about a wage gap. It's not about "gender tax".
It's all algorithms used by both the manufacturer and the retailer to get the best profits.
I'm not gonna delve too deep into this because that would be an essay, but here's the short version:
The manufacturing process for the two razors is vastly different. For instance, the female razor might see more abuse because of the larger surface area covered and the coarseness of leg hair vs facial hair, therefore sturdier plastics and hinges are required, not to mention more heavy duty blades. Leads to higher cost.
BIC might be facing more fierce competition on their men line from Gillette, they have to lower cost and decrease markup rate to keep up on sales. Vice Versa the women line might be doing great on the market, supply is lower than demand, price is raised until higher production rate is achieved or the demand goes down.
Lastly, CVS has a lot to do with the price. Maybe their inventory on the men's line is too high, they have to mark down to get rid of it before the newer model is released. This one I think actually may have a lot to do with it. With the recent trend among men to have stubble/beard, razor sales without a doubt are going down.
There are so, so many variables at play here, yet the dense girl decided that the only reason for the prices was that BIC had a board meeting where they decided to increase woman's razor prices because they hate women. And then she went on to make a snapchat story about it with her overly animated face confidently beaming behind her one liner text like she cracked the ******* patriarchal code.
oh and if the woman razor is priced higher for less product, and you're inherently implying that the product is made to the same standard, then why not just grab the men's pack of razors and use that? It's only a problem because you really, really want it to be.
It's all algorithms used by both the manufacturer and the retailer to get the best profits.
I'm not gonna delve too deep into this because that would be an essay, but here's the short version:
The manufacturing process for the two razors is vastly different. For instance, the female razor might see more abuse because of the larger surface area covered and the coarseness of leg hair vs facial hair, therefore sturdier plastics and hinges are required, not to mention more heavy duty blades. Leads to higher cost.

It's almost as if-

penileburglar (10/08/2015) [-] Actually, you have it the wrong way around.
You said the key word there. 'Marketed.'
Companies do not price things based on some conspiracy to perpetuate a gender tax. They price things based on what people will buy them for. Gillette has done tens of thousands of dollars of research and market testing and determined what price maximizes their profits.
In other words, if they're marketing the ones for women at a higher price, it's because women are willing to pay a higher price in the first place.
The companies are not being dicklings. Other women being willing to pay that price is what has set the price at that level. All this basically proves is that men are not willing to spend as much on beauty products as women, and I don't think that was new information to anybody.

captainfuckitall (10/08/2015) [-] No, I'm afraid I can't, not many people have super-human eyesight capable of seeing the rigidity of blades or the molecules that make up a razor head that make it more or less suited for certain hairs or skin. I bet you eat a ton of carrots.
Regardless, though it may be a super-special-molecular blade designed for certain hairs, I'm absolutely positive it won't give you an electric shock if you just use it for the other place. Would it hurt or tug a little more? Be inefficient? Perhaps (though I can't see the atoms of the blade like you can), but if I'm not only saving money but ALSO getting more razors out of it? By golly, I think it's worth it.

And if you shave your legs with a men's razor they'll get ******* shredded. Plus the shape is just harder to use. It doesn't contour the leg as well.
But wait that's not circlejerking with FJ so I can't be right, nevermind. A thousand flies eat poop, a thousand flies cant be wrong.

Regardless, I have seen what you mean. Three different sources admit that, despite there being no different between blades, the handle and head of the blade itself differs slightly in order to reach different functions, so you were right. Regardless, I would personally just use the man's razor anyways. Not only saving a buck but getting a bigger bang for it tends to be worth slight inconvenience.

the pink which, by the way, also does not specify any gender is more expensive because it's been given a sleek shape and an eye-catching color to attract fools

But I'll go along as if you're serious. The razors are for men, just because it doesn't specifically state that, nobody would think otherwise. Also, Gillette totally has for men on it (I use those). And the women states it's for them too.
I dunno why I'm posting this because I'm 99% sure you were just ******* around, but still..

veneficium (10/08/2015) [-] I disagree with you first point, just because its used more often doesn't automatically mean it should be cheaper. This argument however, would work on stuff that are commonly subsidised. e.g. rice is might be, i don't know the real prices cheaper in asia because people eat them more often than other western countries and hence subsidised by the govenrment.

catburglarpenis (10/08/2015) [-] Debatable. A man with a beard does not have the same social backlash as a woman with hairy legs and armpits, and those have clearly more surface area and similar growth rate.

tylosaurus (10/08/2015) [-] Consider the fact that legs are rarely exposed compared to the face nor are the legs the main point of focus. Consider the fact that you can easily hide your hairy legs. Also consider the fact that females hardly have any hair growth - they can shave their legs and wait weeks before it actually becomes visible that there's hair.
#588 to #586

tylosaurus (10/08/2015) [-] I said can. You can definitely feel it, but the point is. Hair growth in general are is not frequent for them nor that visible.
If they shave, it's more likely to last less than a week. If they wax or use.. I forgot the name of it, it's some sort of tweezer device. It can definitely last up to weeks. Pretty sure the chick that I watched who made a review of it also said so.

catburglarpenis (10/08/2015) [-] I know of no woman that simply hides her legs because she doesn't shave... they're self policing. They're always all bitchy to each other, making fun of one another for not shaving because they saw a hair when their pant leg raised an inch. It's man-centric thinking to believe that a woman would just hide faults easily fixable like that. They'll shave daily unless a nuclear disaster hits.
Not that we don't call each other disgusting slobs too, it's just that we're often fine with being slobs, and it hurts less when your friends say it to your face.

Because that's exactly what you're describing and no woman is forced to be in the PE locker room with a bunch of others where they will see her legs. It's man-centric you say, yet having a bit of hair on her legs equals "faults" to you.
A woman who does not shave has roughly the same backlash that a lot of males have. You know, the neckbeard stereotype? The rough unable to grow "glorious beard" stereotype? I'm just pointing out that your face is pretty much always the main point of focus - unlike legs that are very often hidden by leggings, stockings, dresses and very, very, VERY commonly nowadays - jeans.

catburglarpenis (10/08/2015) [-] Even the gap between low cut socks, boot cut jeans and flat tops can be a source of hari and insecurity. It's not girls, remember that I have a wife. I'm also 28 and a military officer-in-training, so I've seen this type of cattiness in even 0-5's in Active Duty Military... repeatedly.
Eben Pagan did an expose' a while back talking about why social backlash "hurts" more to women. Basically, if you've ever had a rumor that went behind your back it was much more damaging than one told to your face. The recent front page post from 4Chan comes to mind... the one with the school's pact not to show up to his birthday party? With a sociologically input need to be passive and not aggressive (leading to passive aggressiveness) this is what happens, and it's much more damaging.
Also, you bring up the point of basically a minority of cases. Those who cannot grow a full beard and are thus made fun of for not being clean shaven are a distinct minority of the population. Just because the woman has the option to hide their indiscretion doesn't mean it's advisable or even likely. I've personally seen a woman's whole social group rent because they found out she didn't shave her pits. She was from a part of Asia where they don't do that, and one short sleeve **** and an arm raise later... she eventually joined us at the loser table with all the D&D nerds. That's far to fall from all the prissy cheerleaders marrying star athletes and future military officials. It honestly destroyed her future, or at least made her now significantly less likely to succeed.
You can't fault someone because they have a highly unlikely or inadvisable options available. Following that train or logic you can justify anything... no one should complain.
"I don't have enough money, I'm poor."
Well move to Cuba. the government pays nearly 100% of everyone's living expenses.
"Girls won't touch my penis."
Well move to somewhere that you are desired. The Philippines are easy game for white people, most Asian country for blacks, simply changing countries at all drives the locals wild because of accent differences, Middle Easterners to India and vice versa...
"I pay too much for school."
Move to Sweden to get paid to attend high school, Denmark to get paid to attend college.
I can go on if you'd like.

"Also, you bring up a point of basically a minority of cases." No, that's you that's doing that. I already covered that in the previous post, so feel free to look back there. You say "I've seen x so x must be true". I've seen several cases of men being made fun of for not being able to grow a beard. I can tell you, it's a distinct majority that don't grow proper beards, because you know what? The rest that aren't made fun of already shave constantly. You know - the majority of the population in western civilization shave their beards every other day. Of course I have no statistics on this and is solely based on empirical evidence that I've witness in my part of the world. But so is yours. "She joined the cheerleaders..." You know, the whole "I know women since I'm married to one" argument doesn't quite seem to hold up here when you're describing a situation that is very.. what should I say.. highscoolish.. girlish? Whatever the case, she should choose other friends because they obviously weren't friends.
Go on, but first. Explain the nonsense that is the last few comments from "You can't fault someone..".

catburglarpenis (10/08/2015) [-] You were saying something about how they should just cover themselves instead of buying expensive razors, I'm too lazy to quote you.
Listen, I don't hate you for disagreeing with me, and I'm not throwing links at you angrily with a vape-cig in one hand and righteous indignance in the other because I don't have the time at the moment, and I'm also not trying to make an argument from authority here- I'm not better than you, smarter than you, nor is my E-penis humongous. Throw your pinkies at me all day in traditional FJ fashion, but please, don't turn this into a flame war. Don't do it for me- do it for Donald Trump, God Of All Things (and may his wig look favorably upon your hairpiece).
I tried to find some data and statistics on what percentage of men are unable to grow facial hair, and I couldn't find any outside the military. In old military data, tracking razors sold in boot camp and time spent during the "morning routine" finds recruits very unlikely to be unable to grow facial hair, to the tune of a roughly 95/5 ratio. I wish I could dig up the old army publication for that but I just can't find it. I remember the study from my buddy who doesn't have to shave and he got some flack for it from boot camp.
The whole "female cattiness hurts worse than male insults" that thing came from Eben Pagan, I think he spoke about it in his "Man Transformation" program but it was a million years ago that I watched that so I don't know. Statistical data for it can be extracted from good old Jean Kilbourne and Jackson Katz in their programs "Killing Us Softly" (whatever's the latest version) "Tough Guise" (preferably the second one) and of course their little combo, which I think was called "Miss Representation" which I believe is on Amazon Instant Video.
The only other piece was the whole "Highschoolish" thing. I mean, if it's happening "on the reg" at the military O-5 level then what do you want, you know? I've found that as I've moved from Enlisted to Officer levels, it's gotten *more* catty, not less. It's kind of... training to be a politician, I guess. As a president for example, you're surrounded by "yes men" that will tell you anything you do is cool. There's even a term for a person you keep around as a "straight shooter" that'll tell you that something is a bad idea or that you look stupid right now. The more "professional" you are, the less you can "shoot straight" and get away with it. Too many doctors, lawyers, professors and politicians have been edged out of their position because they revealed slightly prejudiced views in confidence or said "look at her ass huh?" thinking that the person they're talking to is "cool". That sounds like empirical ******** again, but that's actually kind of a breakdown of several "manners" classes I've gotten since I joined. Those classes are less "this is how you keep your job" and more "this is how you avoid offending someone so bad you start a war", but it carries over a bit.
Just my two pence.

I tried to find some data and statistics on what percentage of men are unable to grow facial hair, and I couldn't find any outside the military. In old military data, tracking razors sold in boot camp and time spent during the "morning routine" finds recruits very unlikely to be unable to grow facial hair, to the tune of a roughly 95/5 ratio. I wish I could dig up the old army publication for that but I just can't find it. I remember the study from my buddy who doesn't have to shave and he got some flack for it from boot camp.
The whole "female cattiness hurts worse than male insults" that thing came from Eben Pagan, I think he spoke about it in his "Man Transformation" program but it was a million years ago that I watched that so I don't know. Statistical data for it can be extracted from good old Jean Kilbourne and Jackson Katz in their programs "Killing Us Softly" (whatever's the latest version) "Tough Guise" (preferably the second one) and of course their little combo, which I think was called "Miss Representation" which I believe is on Amazon Instant Video.
The only other piece was the whole "Highschoolish" thing. I mean, if it's happening "on the reg" at the military O-5 level then what do you want, you know? I've found that as I've moved from Enlisted to Officer levels, it's gotten *more* catty, not less. It's kind of... training to be a politician, I guess. As a president for example, you're surrounded by "yes men" that will tell you anything you do is cool. There's even a term for a person you keep around as a "straight shooter" that'll tell you that something is a bad idea or that you look stupid right now. The more "professional" you are, the less you can "shoot straight" and get away with it. Too many doctors, lawyers, professors and politicians have been edged out of their position because they revealed slightly prejudiced views in confidence or said "look at her ass huh?" thinking that the person they're talking to is "cool". That sounds like empirical ******** again, but that's actually kind of a breakdown of several "manners" classes I've gotten since I joined. Those classes are less "this is how you keep your job" and more "this is how you avoid offending someone so bad you start a war", but it carries over a bit.
Just my two pence.

tylosaurus (10/09/2015) [-] I said they can cover it up, but more accurately. THEY ARE ALWAYS COVERED UP. Every single ******* female, girl or woman wear jeans nowaday all time around. Even in summer and even so - shave during the summer if you want to show off your legs. This does not add to "Women HAVE to shave legs".
Every ******* male grows facial hair, it's a matter of how it looks. And I doubt the army would be a very good place to find the statistics for this.
Good for them, completely amiss the topic here though.
Let me underline my point. Face, males. We hair growing there, women don't. It's pretty much always the main focus point in any social activity. You CAN'T cover it up. Even if you wanted to.
VS.
Female legs. Hidden by clothing 90 freaking % of the time. RARELY the main point of focus. How regularly do they need to shave? For most of them - every 4 days or every week. For some, even more.
Evident and very obvious conclusion: It is NOT the same kind of problem, it is NOT really comparable and the catty "backlash" they face for it is pretty much aside my original point here as I wished only to state that there clearly is a difference in the options available to the two sexes. End of story.

catburglarpenis (10/09/2015) [-] I guess I'm just confused as to what their options are. You say most women wear jeans all the time but around my area and in most college campuses and military bases around the country (and indeed the world, though those are "military people", as in military related, may be in the military or without, spouses/contractors etc.) they mostly wear these "boy shorts" or "yoga pants" that are usually "yoga shorts".
Another commenter spoke on how the hair growth rate is actually the same for faces and legs and while I don't know if that's true, it's a good point. If that's true, I'd say that if the shave is actually a daily thing then it would certainly be comparable in terms of pure razor usage.

The same in regards to what? The same for females and males? That's utter ******** . Nor does ANYONE EVER wax their face or use tweezer devices.

catburglarpenis (10/09/2015) [-] Razor usage. I was saying that if the hair growth is actually the same for men and women and thus the need to shave, then razor usage would be just as high between the sexes.
And don't knock face waxing. I've had some buddies try some crazy **** to get out of shaving. Waxing, Nair, this "magic shave cream" stuff that you can get at the PX, etc.
They usually go back to shaving though, either with a straight razor or with regular Gillette or whatever.

tylosaurus (10/09/2015) [-] No, because still - women do shave. In most cases, because being smooth feels amazing. I shave myself - even if I know that I'll get backlash for it. As a male, it is very frowned upon. Good thing I never really show my legs, haven't really been confronted about it yet. Classmate got confronted with it when everyone noticed that he had smooth legs. Got quite a lot of **** for it.
Not to mention - most males only shave their stubbles. When women shave, they have to shave their legs and arms. That wears down razors pretty quick. Especially if you're a male who shave legs.. Because we do grow a lot more hair.
Waxing faces.. Yeah that's pretty ******* rare. Nair.. I'm pretty sure nair is for your legs and isn't supposed to go in the face region. Regardless, also a very very rare form of getting rid of hair. Most everyone shave.

catburglarpenis (10/09/2015) [-] Yeah. So I think we're saying the same thing now. If we assume that women and men shave on the daily because hair grows at similar rates, and men's razors are designed for precision while women's razors are designed for comfort while shaving huge expenses of epidermis (which I can agree with another commenter about how shaving in the shower saves on razor cost and wear a ton- which is why I used to have a shower-specific shaving mirror), then it kind of is ****** up that they pay more for less. Actual razor wear down rates and the like... that's all debatable and I doubt there's a solid study stating that razors need replenished more for women's razors over men's, and vice versa.
#671 to #670
-
tylosaurus (10/09/2015) [-] No, we're not. Hair doesn't grow at similar rates, I already told you how women's legs can last quite long. If invisible itchy stubbles is enough to make you shave, then go for it. I know it annoys me, but it's hardly visible. It's not ****** up, it's designed FOR them. If they want, they can easily just buy the "man razor". No problem, easy peacy.
#673 to #671
-
catburglarpenis (10/09/2015) [-] Except the man razor is designed for face precision and cuts the **** out of their legs, as well as requiring actual rocket scientists to design, as another commenter pointed out in a link. Women's razors have the comfort settings maxed but often simple design. Hence "little bars of soap".
I just did a little search to confirm your hypothesis, but came up inconclusive. The general consensus of experts is that male and female hair grows at the same rate, it's just that hair on the face is very noticeable. I've heard many women say the same thing. I went through a lot of women around the world before I got to my wife, and none that I knew shaved less than daily. They said their legs get "scratchy" and look "pockmarked, like tiny fleas" (words of an ex I had in Oklahoma). Again, this is partly anecdotal, but when I did another search for leg shaving frequency, the general consensus again is daily. I know when I don't shave my head I have trouble putting on my Army beanie cap for physical training and winter comfort. If I let it "grow out" it looks like **** because I'm balding, and the hair grows in the wrong places (like the back of my neck) making it out of regulations.
So it's a rock and a hard place for me personally, I have to shave my whole head nightly. I only leave my eyebrows and eyelashes and they're tempting. My first ex-fiance from a million years ago when I was still a young man has to shave her legs to even get into yoga pants. Her stubble would grip the material, just like my head.

catburglarpenis (10/09/2015) [-] What about the differences in prices? We've established that hair grows at similar rates, we've established that women often shave daily, we've established that women who don't have significant social backlash, and that hiding it is nearly impossible. So that isolates the pure cost- and cost of manufacture in men's razors is higher than cost of manufacture in women's razors. We've isolated that point. So that leaves the question: what are you talking about?

My wife bought this ********* razor from Sam's Club once (and I've used a lot of women's razors in the past for a variety of dormitory-related reasons) and the head of the razor was surrounded by two tiny soap bars- all designed to make the process of shaving your legs more tolerable, not shaving your face more precise or injury-free.
So they are in fact designed differently, but I hold standard that the new Gillette Fusion Proglide "ball" is more expensive to manufacture than two tiny soap bars, a craft as old as pottery (rouhly).

I have a very faint beard that depending on the job I'm on I'll shave daily around, and use clippers to trim every 2 days because presentation is a big deal in a lot of jobs (I'm a currency broker)

killerjhtwo (10/07/2015) [-] Now hold on just a minute.
I may not be an alpha male, which sucks beacuse I'd like to be able to grow a beard if I wanted to, but I can't really, it just ends up as a good neckbeard and then semi dense cheek hair.
Even though I may not have the best beard growing abilities, I still get noticeable stubble the next morning after shaving.
This means that if I had a job where I had to look presentable, I would need to shave every day.
It's the same with most guys, you can get away with not shaving for 2 days and still look decent, but if you have a good job you'll need to be shaving daily.
Another factor is the wife/gf, if she doesn't like stubble or hair, she's going to be a massive bitch until you shave, so it saves having to suffer through nagging.

Or you could just suck it the **** up and buy the one that costs less and has more heads because nobody if pointing a gun at you can forcing you to use a pink razor instead of a blue one.

anon (10/07/2015) [-] It's a safety razor. If you twist the bottom part of the handle, the top opens up like a butterfly and you can swap out blades. Each blade lasts 4-7 days of daily use depending on the person (people with thicker hair will wear them out quicker, while finer hair wears them down slower); longer if you don't shave every day. The blades are super-cheap too, on Amazon you can get a pack of 100 for around $15, meanwhile a 12 pack of Gillette Fusion blades is ******* $40.
Pic related, it's the blades the razor uses. Both sides are sharpened.

anon (10/08/2015) [-] Women's razors are generally bigger. They have more safety measures due to the need to shave larger are harder to reach areas of the body. This means more plastic, more metal, and more careful engineering.
Also, there is a higher demand for women's razors than men's razors. Basic supply and demand tells us the price is going to go up. This is probably the larger effect.
The reasons there is a higher demand comes from two aspects:
1. Women go through razors more than men due to the surface area they need to cover when shaving.
2. Women are more likely to overspend on a product. Over 80% of household spending is done by women while pretty much the reverse is true for income contribution.
Also, this is a product that is being offered to you. You do not need to shave to survive. The idea that a completely voluntary transaction like this is somehow oppressive is absolutely insane. You have to be completely brainwashed and/or madly manipulative to think this way.

women shave on a much less regular basis.
Women also sometimes wax instead of shaving- men don't.
Women shave less and use razors less. therefore to make an equal profit their razor has to be priced higher.
Economics is not sexist
