For those who are shaving what are you using for razors, cream, and where? I asked this so information is out there for those who may be interested in what people are using and what is working.

For me I am using Venus swirl razor, Olay violet swirl cream and I am using it on my legs, arm, chest, and stomach. The cream moisturizes nice but the razor does not get as close as I would like. For my face I am using a Gillette Fusion prologue razor and Gillette Fusion Sensitive cream

I have a Revlon ladies' electric shaver that was bought over two years ago. I'm amazed at how long it's lasted given weekly use.

For my face, I've been using Braun electric shavers, pretty much the cheapest ones I can find. I bought a Remington a few months ago, and it didn't even last two months, so I'd stay away from that brand.

I've got a Schick Women's Quattro razor that I like pretty well. I have not found a shaving cream that I'm entirely happy with, though some sort of Skintimates in a pink can is the best I've found so far.

Face-wise, I have a Gillette Mach 3 and whatever the 85 cent cans of shaving cream is (Barbasol maybe?). I am profoundly looking forward to ditching this because I have never found a razor that either gave me a close shave or did not scrape my skin, especially around my upper lip area. (Seriously. Even if I weren't transitioning, the discomfort and cost of electrolysis might be worth it just not to have to shave my face.)

For shaving cream, I really like Trader Joe's Moisturizing Honey Mango Cream Shave.  If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, it's available on Amazon at a higher cost.  My underarms are really sensitive, and this is the only stuff that I've found that gets both a close shave and doesn't irritate me.
