You're 14 years old, I don't see why your mom wouldn't let you purchase a real razor. If she does refuse though, just ask your mom for a few bucks, idk say you're going to the movies or something, and have a friend take you to the store and buy a razor and some shaving cream. Skintimate is a great brand of creme, plus it smells good. A good razor to try is venus. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]

JackiexMarie answered Sunday March 11 2007, 10:06 pm: I think since you are 3 years older and a teenager now, your mom will think you are responsible enough to use one. If she still doesn't want you to, make a deal with her, something like "If you let try to use a razor, I swear if it doesn't work out i'll stop." If that doesn't work, then you should buy the other kinds of shaving products, it's better than nothing. [ JackiexMarie's advice column | Ask JackiexMarie A Question ]

Just ask your mom if you can buy an actual razor and if she still says no, go over to your friends, have her mom drive you guys to a market and get one with your own money. Or if you have a Target gift card or something, go online and order it with the gift card--about the razor replacing...unless your dad has a regular razor, you might have to buy them yourself...or just buy one and tell your mom that you need to replace the razor head..

xWACKYJACKIEx answered Sunday March 11 2007, 9:57 pm: Yeah, at that age, it worked. But now it just doesn't work. I just showed my mom my legs, and said "Mom, I just shaved. It's just doesn't cut. I'm 14, I think I should be able to pick out a regular razor"
She will respect you. Just say that! G00D LUCK! [ xWACKYJACKIEx's advice column | Ask xWACKYJACKIEx A Question ]
