Quick And Easy Hair Removal With The Dorco Eve 6 Razor*

So the sun is out and it's fair to say that over the last few days in the UK, it's been a scorcher! As well as throwing stuff on the barbecue, and eating our body weight in ice cream, what else does a bit of warm weather mean? Well for some of us it means getting those bits of our bodies out that we've have hiding under our clothes since last summer!

As far as I'm concerned hair removal should always be down to personal choice, I think that there are way too many expectations on both men and women to be smooth and groomed at all times. If you want to get rid of your body hair that's fine, and if you don't want to, that's fine too, it's your body, and you can do whatever you want with it.

I've got to be honest when it comes to hair removal I am pretty lazy for most of the year, and I'll happily let my leg hair reproduce in the winter months, come summer time, though I crave a suntan, be it real or fake, and if you want a smooth, and even tan, then the hair needs to go

By far the quickest and easiest way to remove any excess body hair is to shave it off, personally I'm not a big fan of shaving my legs and it's something that I very rarely do, I prefer to wax it off or use an epilator instead, but I do use a razors occasionally on both my underarms and my bikini line, and they are always something that I have in the house on standby.

You can buy razors pretty much anywhere now, I've even seem them in vending machines in toilets, but did you now that you can buy your razors online? Well you can and I don't just mean from any of the online chemists and supermarkets. you can also buy razors from specialist companies such as Dorco. Dorco have been one of the leading manufacturers of high quality, low cost, razors and shaving equipment for around 60 years now and you can now buy their products exclusively from their own website.

They offer a wide range of men's shaving products including both disposable, and replaceable razors, and blades, and for nearly all of their history that has been their primary focus but recently they have branched out into female personal care, and one of their most recent introductions is the Dorco Eve range which as the name suggests is a line created specifically for women.

Again it's horses for courses and you can buy products to suit you and your lifestyle they offer two different types of disposable razor, the Eve 4 and the Eve 6, which have different types of blades so you can choose what ever suits you best. These particular razors are available in multi packs of 3, 5, and 10 so it's easy to stock up from the comfort of your own home.

A lot of people nowadays though are more environmentally conscious and they are trying to cut down on the amount of waste that they create, if that sounds like you, than the Dorco Eve 6 with replaceable blades might be right up your street.

Using over 60 years of experience, Dorco have used world class technology, to create a high quality and safe razor. The wide head of the razor is specially designed to flex, move and pivot, it's hinged head contours to the curves of your body perfectly equalling a safe and easy shave.

With a flatter and wider head than what you might expect, this razor unusually has 6 blades, and features a double 3 blade design to make hair removal faster and safer. The razor head also features two moisturising bands (the blue stripes) that contain Lavender, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera, that are designed to both hydrate and protect the skin. The head also contains revolutionary brush fingers, which are tiny flexible rubber nodules (the white strip are on the top of the head) that are specifically designed to help lift up the hairs to make them easier to remove.

These high quality razor blades are replaceable but they're nothing without a handle, and again years and years of razor making technology means that this one is spot on. It has an ergonomically designed and weighted handle, that features rubber grips, to make it easy to hold and to manoeuvre across the body.

As I say I'm not a frequent body shaver but I was kindly sent one of the Dorco Eve 6 razors to try, and I have to say that it was one of the easiest razors that I've ever used. I'd never really used a razor with a head as wide as this one before but it really was a revelation. I tried this razor on both my legs (see below) and on my underarms, and I tried it with both a specialist shaving foam, and a regular shower mousse, and it worked equally well.

The 6 blade system meant that every stroke removed more hairs than what I was used to, making the whole process much quicker and way easier. Thanks to the pivoting and flexible head it was super easy to manoeuvre the razor across those normally awkward lump, bumpy areas like my underarms, and my knee caps. For me it felt a lot safer than some of the razors that I've used, and the results spoke for themselves, I haven't shaved my legs properly for more than 10 years, and despite the fact that I was hopelessly out of practise shaving wise, and that it was the first time that i'd used the razor I only managed one teeny little nick.

Before 

After

Dorco claim that this razor is easy to clean, and I'm going to be honest and say that i don't think any razor is easy to clean, the Dorco razor head has an open back, and whilst I do think it helped, I did find that the razor clogged up quite quickly with both foam and hair! Now that could be down to the shaving cream and products that I used but I found that I not only had to rinse but that I also had to give a quick wipe with a tissue every stroke or so.

Despite that though I do think that this is one of the safest and easiest razors that I've ever used. Don't get me wrong I still prefer waxing and epilating for longer lasting hair removal but the Dorco Eve 6 is ideal for when you want to be hair free in a hurry, and by buying your razors and blades online, you can either stock up in one order or you can get your shaving equipment delivered to you when you need it.

What do I mean by that? well Dorco are one of the first, if not the only, site to offer a razor subscription service for both men and women Sign up to the service, and for just £1 in your first shipment you will receive the Dorco Eve 6 handle, and 4 razor blades, your next and subsequent deliveries will each contain another 4 blades, which you can have delivered anytime from just 1 month later right the way up to 6 months later for just £5.45 per delivery. If you're a regular razor user I think that this an amazing idea, you'll never get caught short again when the sun is shining and you want to get your tan on.

If the subscription service isn't for you, then you can buy the Dorco Eve 6 in a variety of different value packs which start at around £5.09 for the handle and two blades, and once you have your handle you can also buy replacement blades which start at around £3.40 for a pack of two.

You find about more about the full Dorco range and purchase options on their official UK website.
