Phallic much?



I'm totally going to skip mentioning the fact that it has been more than 7 months since my last entry. Nothing happened and nothing is wrong.

Not all feminists go without shaving, I have a hard time dealing with hair on my body and am very grateful that The Husband shaves regularly, not because I use his shaving tools, but because I really, really, really don't like hair except for in a couple of restricted areas.
For years I used whatever orange single use razor was at hand. Until the market caught up with with the fact that there is nothing natural about a hairless woman. At first they just took the blue razors and made them pink - and charged ridiculous amounts of money for the nauseating ugliness.
But then they started adding real perks, the double blades, the aloe strip and of course the realistic penis shape.
What? Did she just write PENIS SHAPE? Yes she did.

Actually the thought hadn't even entered my mind until this fall when when Gillette introduced their new Venus Vibrance. I kept thinking "Why would anyone want to shake the razor while they shave? It seems like an extraordinarily bad and bloody idea." And then I looked at it from another angle.

Up side down.

Now tell me it is all about the perfect shaving experience.
