After reading through some of the threads in this forum, I decided to purchase a Norelco electric razor. I really had to work up some courage to do it. I've had laser hair removal in the past and it worked, but only for a little while and I was not a fan of the pain, physically or financially. (I still might try it again if I can afford it, though). In the meantime, I was not feeling so happy about the plucking and waxing. I even used an epilator for a while. It sometimes worked, but contributed to ingrown hairs and break outs. So I decided to just get the raxor. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally bought one at a Target. It was cheaper than the one I'd originally wanted to get, but that one seemed like it might have been stolen out of the box or something (another place I'd gone to previously to had the razors all secured so that you would have to ask someone to get it off the rack for you, and I still couldn't bring myself to do that!) So I quickly grabbed the cheaper version and put in in my basket with a few other items. (*Insert the sound of innocently whistling to oneself here*). I just tried it out...I think I need to practice a little bit more to get the hang of it, but you know, overall the thing seems to work rather well, and its a lot quieter than the epilator was.
Since I might be doing this for a while, I decided to try and think of ways to make shaving with the electric razor seem more feminine:
Immediately throw away the box! (Save the instruction booklet and warranty info, though.)
Keep the razor in some kind of very nice bag that is very silky, decorative, feminine, or else just something you really like. Possibly keep it in a place with something "feminine" like special facial wash or foaming salts, although you might have to be careful about that. (You don't want to accidentally spill gunk all over your razor.)
Rinse your face afterwards with something nice and gentle. I really visited a place that has soft water and I found that bathing in it helped my skin, so I am trying to soften the hard water here with some salts.
And last, if you are so inclined to do this sort of thing...Give her a pet name!
Has anyone already done any of these things with her razor?
that is the CUTEST thing i've ever heard! good for you! i've been shaving since 14 so I forget what it was like to "cross the line into man-land". I just use disposables. BUT, if I even get out of the box, I like to call "cheap town", and get a nice one, I'd probably not do anything to it, simply b/c I think the fact that I look better after shaving, in itself is feminine. But, I think it WOULD be cute to decorate your razor with glitter nail polish and stickers and then naming her! haha too cute. way to go.

Congrats on getting up enough courage to buy the Norelco. Hope you find it as good as the ones I've had over the years.
The model before the most recent one I have came with a very nice soft zip case which is ideal for putting into a purse. And the most recent one I have is blue and purple, so doesn't look particularly masculine.
At 14 I certainly felt it was a very masculine thing to do to shave my moustache and indeed at 15 I was shaving it every day. And that feeling was made stronger by the fact that I was flat-chested and didn't have any of the obvious outward signs of femininity. My answer to that was two-fold. Firstly, since that time I've worn my hair long and I've worn skirts so there's no reason for people to misidentify me. And secondly, as far as I'm concerned, people will just have to take me like I am, feminine or not.
Shaving can be feminine
