For some reason whenever I watch commericials for an item that has a version for women and a version for me, the girls' is better.
Example: Shaving razors
Guys get a badass razor with 4 blades and a pathetic amount of lube. It seems men are suposed to get cuts on their faces to be manly.
Women have that one razor (Venus I think)that has 1 inch of lube on the bottom, 1 inch on top and about 1/2 inch of it on the side so they "don't cut their fragile legs". or whatever.
Why do women get all this extra protection?
I think the people who market these things are pro-women...or anti-men, BUT it doesn't really make sense. It doesn't make sense because if these people are out to protect women, it's saying women need special treatment. That's not exactly equal is it?
Why do guys have to do deal with cutting the shit out of themselves and women get anti-cutting stuff?
Our society is trying to hard to help out "disadvantaged" people that they end up handicapping them.

yyyyyyyyyyyyawn.
If you want to use a pink daisy razor, knock yourself out. They suck.
For the record, I use a Mach-3, generally marketed to men.

Market research shows that women buy products more then men. Therfore if you make something more apealling to women chances are that it will sell better.
Besides we have to shave the bikini line - slightly more sensitive then a mans face.
Just grow a beard.

"If it takes a mile worth of lube strips and lasers created by NASA to keep things clean and orderly down there then so be it."
Agreed.

The Intuition has the "lube" so you don't need to use shaving cream. Either way, this is lame.

I think it has to do with surface area than anything else. Women have a lot more to shave than us men do. So, unless you are Jay Leno, quit bitching about it.
Oh, and here is Homer's take on it:
Just squeeze your rage into a bitter little ball and release it at an
appropriate time. Like that day I hit that referee with a whiskey
bottle. 'Member that?

You might try using shaving cream and water.

The title looked promising, but only one single product made it a bit futile.

Men's razors suck because no one gives a shit if men cut their faces or not. Men are ugly.
Now on the other hand, have you ever seen a girl with razor bumps and scabs all over her inner thighs and up towards the crotch? If it takes a mile worth of lube strips and lasers created by NASA to keep things clean and orderly down there then so be it.
Or you could just go to a salon and get your face waxed like a Menudo member hitting puberty.

Man, if it's that big of a deal, buy the women's razor and say it's for your girlfriend.
