Can you recommend an electric shaver for the bikini line? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I've heard of quite a few people using a special kind of lady's electric shaver for some of the bikini line, heard a few different brands but cannot remember them. Does anyone know of a good one? I don't think I can purchase a really expensive one right now though, but you can still tell me about that kind, maybe I can get it in the future. Right now I'm just looking for one that's not overly expensive and works decently. Thanks a lot.

well, I hate to burst your bubble.. but unfortunately.. at least in my experience.. the cheaper they are the worse they work. The very *best* luck I've had with using an electric for the bikini line is the remingtons or norelco's with the three round heads.. (which by the way work *amazingly*) all of the cheaper ones seem to be those with the straight across trimmer with the holes... which for me just pulls the hair and doesn't get very close.

Your best bet if you're looking to go electric is to save up and hit the after XMAS sales.

And word to the wise if you do this.. you have to be *very* careful on softer thin skinned areas or areas with natural creases in the skin like the crease where your thigh meets your body... try to only make one pass and don't dwell.. it's very easy to burn yourself in those areas if you're not careful.
