  • Not really, no. The main difference is that body razors have a differently shaped razor attachment. It’s a bit wider and has a bevel around it to make it easier to use on parts of your body with curves like your legs. They also usually have different built-in skin hydrating bars or whatever they’re called to make it easier on your skin, I think. Honestly, I’m not too clear on it, haha.

    I shave using the Schick hydro silk razors once a week. I usually don’t get any cuts and if I do I replace the blade. I have a pack of 9 that you can buy to have on hand. You should replace them regularly cause when they get dull, they’re more likely to dig in and cut you. I use sensitive skin shaving cream, no particular brand whatevers on sale. I also use this razor on sensitive areas once a week and find it works just fine. I have a specific shaving routine to try and minimize in grown hairs and skin irritation. Whenever I shave, and whenever I shower more generally, I use a body lotion to keep my skin hydrated. Super easy to dry out and that will also impact your results with body shaving.

    On the higher end there’s still like epilators and IPL devices, which might be worth looking into long term. Shaving suits me fine. For me it’s worth the half an hour time investment once a week.






  • Criminalization of homosexuality in public via some form of indecency laws. Project 2025 calls for any queer person working in any job that could ever possibly interact with a child to be prosectued as sex criminals. It means being queer in the privacy of guarded spaces. It means a generation of people forced back into the closet.

    None of this is a prediction of the future. It’s just what they’ve told us they’re going to do.
