Razor x 2

With my overly sensitive skin—and aggressive shaving technique—I have been forced to be selective with my razors. As stated in my previous razor review (here), it has been difficult to transition from my Venus to cruelty-free/vegan brands—mostly because there aren't many to choose from! About a month ago I started using this razor by Personna. This particular razor is called the Halo and I chose it because it appeared to best suited for sensitive skin. There is a strip around the blade which offers protection while shaving. This razor is closest to the Venus model I have used for the past several years. Overall, I am happy with the results. I do feel that it isn't as gentile as the Venus razor I have become accustom to, but it is able to give me a close shave. The handle is thick and easy to grip, which helps me because I shave with oil so my hands are often slippery. The blades on my Venus razors appear to be slightly inverted, whereas the blades on the Personna seem to protrude out a bit more. For me, this is noticeable because my skin is extremely sensitive. I have to be slightly more conscious to not nick and cut myself, but that is okay with me. I take pride in knowing where my money is going and the assurance that it isn't going to a company that tests on animals is enough for me!
