A member asked:

Why are electric shavers so unpopular with women? i'm vry sensitive to razors, would an electic be better for me?

Safer: If your needs are taken care of by electric shavers , there is no problem. . Another option is to consider laser hair removal , costs more now but saves you later.

You may: Benefit but get one that can get wet. I don't know of a particular brand though.
