Slowly Returning To Calm and Sanity: Schick® Intuition® Naturals Sensitive Care™ Razor (review)

Very slowly. Thanks to all of you who have been patient – and for all the cute notes. This summer is full of fabulous activitivies, and awesome self-discovery, and there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to discover everything. Plus, people keep visiting. Which means I have to clean stuff. It turns out that cleaning also cuts way into discovery and blogging time.

I took on far too many things this summer, and it looks like I need to sit down and figure out how to shave some time off all my obligations. But today...I finally have enough peace, quiet and relative sanity to write a beauty review. And speaking of shaving (heh!), here’s something for your pretty summer legs. From Schick.

Intuition Naturals Sensitive Care


Blurb: Schick® Intuition® Naturals Sensitive Care™ razor has a Skin Conditioning Solid™ that contains 100% natural Aloe with Vitamin E, and is fragrance free and hypo-allergenic so it's gentle on your skin and helps reduce irritation. Now gentler on the environment with 100% recyclable packaging made with recycled materials!

Somehow Schick keeps managing to hit home runs with their products. I’m a huge fan of the Quattro for Women razors, and I was really eager to try this. And because of the design, I thought it would be perfect for traveling. It was!

The first bit of genius is that I don’t need to use any shaving cream. The Skin Conditioning Solid™ that surrounds the blades lathers up while shaving. I not only appreciated not having to bring along an extra bath product; but the convenience of having the shave cream already in the razor also meant I didn't have to find a spot for the shave cream in the teensy hotel shower. The Aloe and Vitamin E also did a nice job of moisturizing.

The razor has an easy-to-grip rubber handle, and a pivoting head. It also comes with a shower hanger and cap. It's unbelievably convenient and portable. Gym bag, overnight trips, long vacations – you name it.

And…I got an excellent, close shave! Awesome!

Take a look at the website. There are some other great looking products as well. Schick products are sold in grocery stores, drugstores and places like Ulta, Walgreens, CVS, duane reade, and drugstore.com.

And…since I’ve been gone MIA for so long…here’s a nice video. Some 1960’s mod angst. The video sequence is a little strange, but this version had the best sound. And it might help wake you up if you have the Monday blahs…Enjoy!

Are you a low maintenance beauty belle who wants a no-frills beauty routine? With Schick and Skintimate, you can have a silky smooth shave that’ll help you get out of the door and start your day in no time!

You don’t even need shaving cream with the Schick Intuition Plus razor—just water! It’s the first and only razor that lathers, shaves and moisturizes in one easy step leaving your skin noticeably softer. It has 4 blades, surrounded by a skin moisturizing solid enriched with shea butter, aloe and Vitamin E to replenish your skin’s natural moisture. The Schick Intuition Plus is the ultimate beauty accessory for multi-tasking women on-the-go: getting ready in the morning, touching up after the gym, or prepping for a date! Average retail price is $9.29.

If you’re devoted to the traditional razor and shaving cream pairing, Schick Quattro for Women Disposable razors and Skintimate Signature Scents are just as great for a fast and easy shave.

Up Close and Personal: Schick Quattro for Women Trimstyle & Skintimate Signature Scents (review and giveaway reminder)

First, the giveaway reminder: I’m partnering with Schick and Skintimate for a lovely giveaway! (Click HERE for details.) Come back and read the rest of this post when you’re done.

Done? Okay, then.

This is my birthday week; but I feel like the gifts have already arrived. I’ve had one of the most amazing weeks in one of the most amazing months in a truly amazing year! Impossible things have happened; and I’ve learned more about myself than I ever thought possible.

One of the things I’m most grateful for are the people who have crossed my path. There are those I knew for a short while, and those who have found a permanent place in my heart. There’s a saying that, “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” I don’t think that’s ever been more true for me. I have learned incredible things from the people who are in my life. Not just about creativity and ways of living; but about openness, friendship, intimacy; and most importantly: love. I feel truly blessed and ready for another wonderful year.

It’s killing me not to insert a cheesy tie-in right here.* But I’m going to muster up a tiny bit of taste and decorum, and simply tell you that today’s beauty is brought to you by Schick and Skintimate.

Schick Quattro for Women Trimstyle Razor

Blurb: The TrimStyle razor is a great two-in-one razor: a shaving cartridge with four ultra-thin blades on one end and a waterproof, battery powered bikini trimmer on the other. The trimmer has an adjustable comb which gently guides the hair toward the trimmer blade to achieve desired hair length (a choice of three length settings), and can also be removed completely for an even closer trim.

Skintimate Signature Scents (in "Raspberry Rain")

Blurb: Add some color and fun to your shaving with your favorite Skintimate Signature Scents Moisturizing Shave Gel. These moisturizing shave preps come in six enticing fragrances that have 11 moisturizers, vitamins, an antioxidant to replenish your skin’s natural moisture and a burst of fruity freshness.

First…just go to the store and get the razor. Or at least enter my giveaway because this razor is fabulous!! I’ve been a fan of the original Quattro for Women for a long time; but the TrimStyle is nothing short of spectacular. It uses the same great blades (which give a close, nick-free shave and have those comfortable conditioning strips). In addition, the head has excellent pivoting action (best I’ve ever used), and the additional trimmer (at the other end) is convenient, easy to use and incredibly versatile. It’s a great value!!!

I also really liked the Skintimate Gel. "Raspberry Rain" had a wonderful, fresh berry fragrance, and the texture was cushiony and luxurious. It dissolved deodorant residue fairly well, and made my skin nice and soft.

Check out all the great shaving products (and tips) on the Schick and Skintimate websites. You can sign up for their mail lists, browse the newest items, and check out special offers. Schick and Skintimate are sold in grocery stores, drugstores and places like Ulta, Walgreens, CVS, duane reade, and drugstore.com.

*Okay...for my cheesy tie-in, let's just say that getting today's post published a few minutes before midnight is a pretty close shave (just cracked myself up...please don't hate me).

Expose Yourself! Schick Quattro for Women (review)

If you've been reading this blog (or just pretending to read it), you may have noticed that I mentioned some great conversations I've had lately. I'm so grateful I live in a time when technology makes it easy to keep in touch with people. Millions of years ago, when I first moved out "on my own;" I went to San Francisco which was about 400 miles away from friends and family. This was pre-internet/pre-email/pre-long distance-calling-plan; so we mainly kept in touch by writing letters. And, this just in: 19-year-olds are not the most consistent letter-writers. I'm amazed we managed to stay in touch at all.

Nowadays it's pretty easy. Quick emails, texts, chatting and that most fabulous thing of all: cell phone plans with unlimited minutes that let you call anywhere in the U.S. This still amazes me. I no longer have to wait until after 5pm to make a "toll call." And I can talk for-freaking-ever.

My grandmother did not like this turn of events. She thought email seemed impersonal; and she didn't like people casually picking up the phone instead of writing a nice letter. I also liked letters (I still have most of them); and I liked being able to plan my thoughts and carefully word my responses to what other people said. It allowed me to express myself, but still keep some distance. That's not really the case nowadays (when you're "live"). And I also think it's probably for the best. It turns out that all this "cold," "impersonal" technology has actually opened the door to more authenticity and intimacy in my life. I'm a little more "exposed" these days, and I think I'm better off for it.

So that was a pretty long road to today's beauty item, wasn't it? Well, I'm feeling the whole communication thing big time; and it's spilling over into beauty junkie-dom. You don't need me to tell you that things happen in the Springtime.

But, back to something more blog-worthy. In addition to people exposing their thoughts and feelings, Spring also brings a different kind of exposure. Skin. And shouldn't everyone get to see your newly exposed skin looking all smooth and pretty? (Answer: yes, they should). Let's see how the folks at Schick can help us out with that…

Quattro for Women

Blurb: A high performance razor! New Handle, More comfortable Hold. Long Lasting Smoothness so you could skip a day or two! Enriched with Aloe & Duo-Vitamin Complex™ Conditioning Strips. Compact Pivoting Head to follow all your contours. 4 Ultra-Thin Blades for a close, smooth shave. Sleek Handle for precise control. Softer rubber, better grip. Includes convenient Shower Hanger.

Since my intro was so freaking long; I'll make my review nice and short. It works good. Real good. There's not a whole lot to say about a razor when it does what it's supposed to. And this one absolutely does. It gives me a fabulous, close, comfortable shave. And no nicks or cuts (even when I don't have my contact lenses in). The moisturizing bar helps the blade glide along and the handle has a nice grip. All this closeness and comfort applies to the bikini area as well. What more do you need? (Answer: shave cream, but that's tomorrow's review).

The website has information about all the Quattro for Women products. For purchasing purposes, though, I suggest your local drugstore or a site like Drugstore.com.

Happy Tuesday!
