Let’s not beat around the bush here. Ladies shave—some more than others—and most, since their early teens. But how much attention do you pay to your razor? And, what does your razor do for you? Does it merely get the job done, leaving your gams stubble-free for twelve glorious hours?

My razor does much more. I remember seeing the TV commercial for Schick Quattro TrimStyle a year or so ago: sexy hotel music playing while a model walks by untamed topiaries that magically shrink into neat, geometric shapes before her eyes—squares, triangles, and was that a circle? My savvy media-trained brain (thanks, Communications minor at NYU) detected a reference to the bikini area. Indeed, the TrimStyle is one part good ‘ol refillable razor and one part AA-battery powered, waterproof nether-region groomer. Girl talk: I’m always grateful for bikini waxers who do a little trimming at the end, but some don’t, and this little shower buddy is a godsend for that reason. There are even three adjustable levels so you can control the length….all without an appointment. Or having to master your barbering skills using a too-big scissor, on bits you can barely see.
