Shave in the direction of hair growth: Going against the grain risks rashes and burns, so move in one fluid direction with the hair growth. One movement of the razor through the area should be enough if you’ve got a good-quality razor with multiple blades. Spend 10 minutes in warm water first: Whether you take a bath or a shower, this helps soften your outer layer of skin and makes it easier to remove hair. Brush the area with a wet flannel to remove dead skin cells and trim any hair that’s particularly long. It being double ended does not cause an issue as you don’t touch the blades when handling. The handle is soft and rubbery with grooves for a comfortable grip.

The slight negative was on the bikini area as the razor struggled to achieve the totally smooth result that I like. It took more effort than the legs as you’d expect, but there was still stubble present. Now these razors have an amazing lubricating strip containing aloe which creates such a smooth shave once water hits it as the gel becomes soft, plus you have three slightly flexible blades.

The Quattro For Women bikini razor with trimmer was the first of our 2 in 1 lady trimmers to hit the market and it remains the go-to for a shave, trim and transformation like no other. If you are looking for our closest and most comfortable intimate shave then our Hydro Silk Bikini trimmer gives your skin the VIP treatment for whatever style you’re looking for. Plus, you can shave your legs with the same razor and they’re completely waterproof – perfect for using in the shower. I like the idea of being able to take a razor on holiday or even a business trip and throw it away without guilt. It’s also quite nice to remove the non-disposable razor from the shower which is covered in months of soap-scum, and use a shiny-new one every couple of weeks. The instructions don’t tell you how to access the battery compartment as they assume some degree of common sense, sadly for me. You simply twist the centre join of the razor to reach the battery area, rather than pulling at it with every ounce of strength that you can muster. It is actually very simple. The following day I did notice that much of the lubricating gel had been used up and the blades were starting to rust. I assume this is typical with a disposable razor, but based on this I would imagine you get just a few uses from the product and wouldn’t want it hanging around your bathroom for too long (even if you don’t shave very often) as the rust could mark surfaces and just doesn’t feel nice. Disposable razors are generally used for 3-10 shaves until the blades look dull.

There are quite a number of hair removal methods such as waxing, shaving, threading laser removal, creams etc. The bikini trimmer is painless, doesn't create a mess like wax or creams and is certainly a great deal cheaper than a visit to the beauty salon. It is waterproof which always amazes me, but is fantastic as I only ever shave in the shower and it is just less messy.At Wilkinson Sword we understand that everyone’s lives are different, so we have created women’s razors to satisfy your lifestyle and individual beauty needs.

Wilkinson Sword bikini trimmers and razors come with a built-in hydrating lubrication strip with ingredients such as aloe in Quattro for Women Bikini Trimmer and hyaluronic acid in the Hydro Silk bikini trimmer and Intuition Complete razor, which help avoid irritation. The second razor was the Intuition Complete Bikini, and this is a double ended tool in lovely white and baby-pink shades. This is perhaps a little shameful to admit but my current choice of razor is actually my husbands; we have shared a razor and just swapped blades for years and I have never seen the point of a purpose-designed razor for women. I am here to be proven wrong I hope. The instructions are written on the inside of the box, and I love to save on unnecessary paper for instructions but I think perhaps a perforated edge to allow the box to be ripped open would be useful as my instructions ended up in two pieces due to my impatience.
