Reader Review of the Day: Gillette Dry Skin Shaving Gel

I've been a bad girl.

by POPSUGAR Beauty

I've been a bad girl. I've been shaving with soap because I ran out of shaving cream and forgot to restock. So I hit up the Product Review pages to find out what shaving lather is rated highest by you, our trusted readers. The consensus? Gilette's Dry Skin Shaving Gel ($3) not only has the most reviews in the shaving category, but it also has a 4.5-star rating. Here's what brittanyk said about this classic gel:

I wouldn't say that this is formulated that much differently than any other Gillette women's shave gel, but I do like this one. It lathers up very nicely and it doesn't really smell like much, so if you're not into scented products this one isn't really at all. Whenever I use this I generally don't get any razor burn, which is always a plus. It does its job well. The only complaint I have about this is that it isn't very moisturizing. I feel like I have to put on a ton of lotion after I shave my legs with this stuff.

Got a favorite gel or cream shaving item you can't do without? Or perhaps you've got something not so kind to reveal about a particular shaving product.

Product Review: Gillette Fusion Power Phenom Razor

I've always wondered if men's razors were better than women's.

I've always wondered if men's razors were better than women's. While ours may need to be used around our more (ok, most) sensitive areas, theirs ought to be more user friendly and have less margin for error, as many men shave every day and can't hide any shaving mishaps simply by keeping their pants on. So when I saw Gillette's new battery-operated Fusion Power Phenom Razor, which not only has five blades and a built-in precision trimmer but also a low-battery indicator light (what is this, a razor or an iPod?), I had to give it a go.

At first, I was impressed with the pivot on the blade — I could get a lot closer around my ankles and knees, where I always seem to miss hairs. But somehow as I got further north, first around my upper thighs and underarms, the razor stopped gliding as well (I used a little body wash as shave gel — it is unclear what product, if any, you are meant to use with it). And when I got out of the shower, I was stubbly, even below the knees. So, here's the verdict: The Fusion Power Phenom Razor may be the best a man can get, but as I should have known, a woman can get even better. Want more reviews? Read others or write your own.
