First
Impressions:
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I
opened the package that the Femini shaver
arrived in but was greeted by an object that
resembled a toothbrush as I delved through
the packaging. Packaged in a see through plastic
box I was actually quite delighted by the
design of the femini at first glance. It sat
well in the palm of my hand and the on/off
switch was simple to operate. Would it do
the job and tame my bush which had been allowed
to become more unruly than I would normally
allow so I could give this a true test?
The
Test:
The Femini comes complete with one AA battery
so I tuned it on and was surprised at the
power it delivered. Billed as safe, I decided
to test this claim before I put it anywhere
near my, ummm, more delicate body parts and
ran the blade across my hand. I'm happy to
report there is no way with the design of
the Femini that you can cut your hand or anything
else come to that . I got a bit carried away
and ran it across the front of my wrist, where
it happily shaved the fine hair on my arms,
whoops! You actually have to angle the blade
against your skin in order for it to cut,
and of course that's what I did. You can safely
try this at home but be warned that once you
start you need to finish the job or risk wearing
a stripe up your arm -)) The cutting edge
takes the form of a comb like arrangement
and it's easy to see why this makes shaping
using the tool easy and safe when combined
with the overall design.
Satisfied
that this was safe for me to use on other
more delicate parts of my body, I set about
taming the bush. Trimming with this tool,
I soon discovered was a doddle. The design
made it easy to hold: always a plus when your
shaving areas that are not always the easiest
in the world to see. It wasn't long before
I had a love heart sculpture on my mons, I
have no idea why I chose that design but it
worked. It did take a bit of practice and
getting used to as regards being able to actually
shape lines but it wasn't that difficult and
the results we pleasing to the eye. I did
find that outlining the shape I wanted in
black marker made life easier. [Make sure
it's a on permanent marker please!]
I
did find that adding a little baby powder
into the equation helped but it wasn't really
nessacary. The femini provides a safe, clean
trim and it was easy to clean after use another
plus. It was simply a case of pulling the
blade casing open and brushing away the small
amount of hair that it contained. I decided
to go for the polished look and added the
Body Bare personal shaver into the equation
at this point. Simply running the BodyBare
over the parts I had just trimmed with the
Femini. It wasn't actually nessacary to do
this but it just finished the job for me as
although the femini give a reasonably close
trim it's not quite as close as the BodyBare.
What's
It All Add Up To?
Another excellent product by Deak, I'm happy
to report is what this adds up to. Small,
compact and does the job as they describe
on their site. I discovered that this also
works well on your legs if your in a hurry
and you have a reasonable amount of growth.
[I was being lazy okay -))] Because it's small
you can easy put it in your travel case or
handbag which is a major plus in my book.
It is also designed to be used on dry skin,
again, another plus. If you go with the marker
method then I would make sure you have access
to water though.
Although
the femini on it's own gave a good clean trim,
for best results I would team it up with the
BodyBare for an even cleaner shave. I didn't
end up with any of the annoying bumps or soreness
that can sometimes result when you wet shave.
If
you're looking for a quick, convenient and
easy way to shave then you won't go far with
either the Femini shaver and combined with
the Body Bare you're onto a sure winner.
