Learn To Love Shaving Again - FFS

This post was in collaboration with FFS. However, all opinions are my own.

You know that dolphin-like feeling you get from a really good shave with a brand new razor? Well, with Friction Free Shaving you can have that feeling every time for as little as £5 a month. Now, before reading Debra's update post on her experiences with FFS, I had been using men's disposable razors. Why did I use men's opposed to women's? Men typically shave their face so their razors are developed for sensitive skin and therefore shouldn't tug as much. As someone who suffers from extremely dry skin and eczema on my legs, it is important that I always have a clean and sharp blade...which can end up costing a pretty penny over the course of a month.

Now FFS (Friction Free Shaving) were claiming to give you an amazing shave without causing any friction to the skin, and holy crap, was the advertisement right. Now there are two different razors available (I will talk about each later in the post), and I personally have the most expensive, which goes by the name 'Rose'. They also have a shave cream available...but I'm yet to try that until I finish using up my current shaving gel. If you're slightly hesitant to try FFS, then why not use this link and receive 25% off your first box, giving you a chance to try the product for slightly cheaper...as if it wasn't already an amazing price.

Frankie

Armed with 3 blades, you have Frankie; she's a white and pink mixed razor. As well as three blades, there is also a vitamin E strip to help moisturise as you shave. With a pivot head, you no longer have to worry about painful shaving cuts...they sting like an absolute bitch if you've never had one. You're also a skilled shaver if you've never cut yourself; please teach me your ways.

Now, despite being very similar to the razors that you'd pay upwards of £10 for, they normally only come with 2 sets of blades, so you'd need to buy another packet to have a clean, fresh blade every week. Frankie, though, comes at the small fee of £5 a month, and that's coming with 4 sets of blades to last you a month...plus it's delivered straight to your door so you don't have to rush out to the shop to buy a fresh razor or blades.

Rose

Now, this razor is my 'shaviour' and stunning best friend. When I saw that FFS had launched a rose gold razor, I couldn't help but order it the same day...despite my initial hesitation to try the brand. This razor is amazing though; the 6 blades really give you a close shave that lasts a hell of a lot longer than any previous razor I used. It glides absolutely smoothly along the whole of my body...even around my knees and ankles.

As well as 6 blades it also has a dedicated bikini trimmer...which is obviously perfect if you like a smooth or tamed bikini area. Now, this razor is slightly pricier at £9 a month, but that also includes the 4 sets of blades for the month...as well as the absolutely stunning handle which is so comfortable to hold (even in my tiny child hands). For me, it's no second-guessing that I'm going to keep this subscription going...I always want my body to feel like a dolphin.

I don't know how many other ways I can say it, but FFS has completely changed my shaving routine, first by making it a nicer experience but second of all by making a shave that actually lasts longer than a couple of hours! Currently, as I'm writing this post, it's been 4 days since I shaved and there's only a hint of hair on my entire body. As somebody who suffers from PCOS, I'm used to excessive hair growth, but there is something about this razor that has been encouraging my hair to grow back slower than usual. Always a positive in the summer, even if summer is nearly over.
