Schick Quattro for Women
When I first started shaving my gams, at 12 or 13, I used my mom's old metal razor with the screw-mounted double-edged blades--and I still have a scar from where the damned thing came unscrewed from all the soap and just about severed my Achilles tendon. Ever since then, I have used plain, cheap safety razors, the kind you get at the dollar store in bags of 20. I convinced myself that the plain Bic-style safety razor was one of those perfect devices, like the $2 potato peeler and the #2 pencil, that was perfect in its simplicity.
Last week a publicist sent me a sample of the Schick Quattro for Women, which is a metal-handled, swivel-headed contraption with changeable blade cartridges, and I see now that I was dead wrong. This is a far better razor. There's nothing radical about the design that I can see, it's just a higher-quality device than what I'm used to. When you can upgrade the quality of some small, everyday tool, it's a wonderful thing, and well worth a lousy $8.
Nobody wants to see a picture of a razor, so here instead is a picture of Betty Grable's gams.

THIS IS THE BEST RAZOR I HAVE EVER USED. I proclaim its greatness daily.
