flamingo razor

everyone is shaving their face

May 12, 2018

Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Cleopatra, & Kate Sommerville just to name a few.

Ladies - shave your face - everyone's doing it.  This beauty secret is popping up on blogs all over.

I discovered this tip a few years ago at a dermatologist appointment.  She asked what I was planning to do with the hair on my face, to which I replied, "what hair?"  She gently pointed out how I had very light blonde peach fuzz, and suggested that make up will go on much smoother without the hair.  She demonstrated with a $4 Flamingo razor (order on Amazon) and I was amazed how much fluff came off my face.

1. Does it hurt?

Nope

2. But doesn’t it grow back thicker & darker?

Nope. Not in my experience!  You will notice the hair more - remember you didn't notice it before.

3. How often?

Maybe every 2 weeks or so?  When I notice.

4. What do I need?

I use Flamingo Razor.  Not expensive, order on Amazon.  Say they're for your eyebrows.

5. Does a leg razor work?

I wouldn’t use a women’s leg razor. 

6. Any other tips?

Do it on dry skin. Make sure your skin is VERY clean first too.

7. Quick how-to?

As Popsugar says: “Pull the skin taut, then start shaving downward on your skin in short strokes. You can’t just drag the razor against your skin — it wouldn’t do anything. Also, hold the razor at a 45-degree angle against the skin. Don’t freak when it looks like you skinned a lamb. You have more hair on your face than you think!”

I wrote about this trend a few months ago, but since it is still popping up, I am writing about it again.  An easy inexpensive cure for peach fuzz = flamingo razor!
