I'm a woman and I shave underarms, legs, bikini area, etc. I wanted to reduce my plastic waste as I've always used disposable razors (usually the blue fixed head ones.) People kind of scared me about this, but it was absolutely easy! I have been using it over a week and haven't nicked/cut myself at all. Very comfortable grip, feels balanced and feels good on the skin. Really enjoying it! If you're new to this, the long handle - it means it's basically the same length my disposable was.
