I have chronic pain everyday, hypersensitivity, nerve damage in my left knee and leg; also sciatica, so it can be very aggravating, uncomfortable, frustrating, painful when my hairy or stubbly right leg hair touches my left leg. Also pants, legging, stockings, long dresses, bedding etc aggravate it too. (You know when your pants pull your hairs a little bit?) So having hair free legs is necessary for my health, well-being, coping mechanism and sanity.
This has a nice soft textured grip, easy to handle and it looks pretty. I love that all you need is a little water on it and away you go. Blades: The blades are nice, sharp and good quality. Moisture strip: Glides on extremely smooth, leathers nicely, is very hydrating and leaves my skin soft. Using this product I didn't have to use any shaving creams nor other products. Dry leg shave: I was very impressed that all I had to do was dampen the moisture bar with little bit of water then go in with dry legs and it would still shave with ease. "It was a miracle"
You can also shave everyday with not worrys and no pain. I've never had shaving rash nor any ingrown hairs using this product.
The Gillette and Olay collaboration was a total success. The only upsetting thing with this product is that I live in Tauranga, New Zealand and they don't hold this product at all. They do outside of Tauranga but not in Tauranga itself (I know this because I called them complaining that I couldn't find it anywhere in Tauranga.)
I found the bars really bulky and made it harder to get a close shave. I did like the moisture they provided for shaving but it gets used up quickly - much faster than the blades blunt. You also still need to moisturise after which is what I was hoping to avoid with this product. Overall, not a fan.
