Question Posted Thursday December 28 2006, 8:39 pm
well i just bought the Venus Vibrance today thinking it would work good because of all the positive feedback on it .. well i made the biggest mistake of buying it. i just started shaving with it about 15 minutes ago, and when i was done i got like 5 cuts each on one leg. i didn't even rush! i used a lot of Skintimate Raspberry Rain shave gel(which i have been using since i was 12 with no problem) and my legs turned red, i had red dots by the cuts, etc. it isn't razor burn or ingrown hairs either. also when i was shaving my armpits i used a lot of shaving gel and i actully got cut which never ever happened to me before, and i have been shaving since i was 12 and i am now 14. also my armpits got all red. why is this happening? i thought the venus vibrance was supposed to actually work well? thanks for your help.
Additional info, added Thursday December 28 2006, 10:36 pm: P.S: when i used it, i didn't turn on the vibration thing.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?

It seems kind of weird too, like electricty and water?? I think the reason you got cut so much cause you were shaving with a really new razor. My mom changed mine before without telling me and I nikked up my legs soo badly. After a while it should be better. Try not using the vibrating thing for a bit untill the razor isnt as sharp and new.

And since this is the first time you've used it, again you weren't used to it and how it runs/works so you accidently gave yourself a few nicks and cuts.
Either keep using it til it gets better or just stick to regular razors. I wouldn't suggest using it on your under arms anyways, just becuase of the irritation. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
