I use the Schick Quattro (sp???) on my legs, but I go electric on the face. Using a blade on my face feels better, but makes me break out. I don't like going to meetings looking like I have chicken pox.

Use a women's razor for your legs. It will last longer, the blades are sharper because body hair is thicker than facial har, and womens razors are made for body hair. Of course you don't have to get a pink one unless you want...

what, they engineer the steel to be hardier for the metal they throw in the pink plastic razors?!
and women have crazier leg hair than your average facial stubble? wha-hoo?
anyway. feel free to use whatever gender razor you feel like. i do.
(i just don't shave my face, surry.)

I don't know if the steel is harder, but they are sharper and they last longer.

?? seriously??
from the gillette website:
"Is there a difference between men's and women's hair?
Question
Is there a difference between men's and women's hair?
Answer
Yes. Men's facial hairs are 50 to 60 percent larger in diameter and more irregularly shaped than women's hair, which is primarily oval-shaped. The difference in diameter between men's and women's hair explains why the recommended pre-shave soaking period is different-three minutes for men, two minutes for women.
"
and
"Why shouldn't I just use the MACH3?
Question
Why shouldn't I just use the MACH3?
Answer
MACH3 is the leading razor designed for men. Venus is the leading razor designed for women. From the ergonomic handle to the oval-shaped cartridge to the storage compact, Venus is specifically designed for you - the way you shave, the areas you shave, and the environment in which you shave."
*within the product range level & brand* same blade, different plastic. it's just marketing.

hahah...NO NO NO. My sister has gotten ahold of my razor before and used it to shave her legs. I would never shave my legs to begin with...but if I did, I sure as HECK wouldn't use it for my face. Or any other area for that matter.
