The Intimate Shaving Kit is a set of three shaving-related items sold by Babeland Sex Toys. The kit does include a Wahl Personal Detailer razor, FunFactory SecretStylers, and Sliquid Smooth shaving lotion. The kit is intended to be used together to trim and style pubic hair to your perfect preference. The razor is battery-operated, and it comes with a one-year warranty in case the blade starts to clog. The SecretStylers are reusable since they are made from silicone, and the Sliquid Smooth bottle is the 4.2 ounce bottle. I’ll analyze each one of the objects separately then bring them together to see how they work as a group.
The Wahl Personal Detailer is a trimmer intended to be used for trimming of smaller areas such as the pubic area or the eyebrows. It comes with just one trimmer blade, but it does come with a 2-position eyebrow guide. It’s run on a AA battery, and the battery compartment is really easy to open and reinsert the battery. I’ve used it a couple times, and so far, I’ve had no problem with the battery dying, so it does last for quite a bit. It is cordless, and it has a one-year warranty for if the blade starts to become dull and pull hair. It has a three-year limited warranty for the item as a whole.
How did it shave? Well. I wouldn’t call it amazing, but it was good. It is a *trimmer* though. That’s something to remember. It isn’t going to shave, but it will trim. It does a pretty good job of trimming. It won’t leave you completely bare, and it does have a habit of missing some hairs, but it doesn’t pull painfully at the hairs at all. I’ve used it a couple times, and it doesn’t seem like the blade clogs up too easily. I would recommend making sure the hair isn’t TOO long to avoid really clogging it up. It doesn’t provide the closet shave I’ve ever felt, but it does make it really easy to shave manually afterwards and clean up some of the stray hairs. It doesn’t irritate nor pull at the skin which is nice.
Sliquid Smooth is a shaving creme/gel/lotion from Sliquid. Sliquid usually has great lubricants, so I was actually having high hopes for the Smooth gel. It does come in a small, pop-top bottle that dispenses a bit like lotion in consistency. I didn’t use much of the bottle to be able to do a couple different shaves, so I’d easily say that, if you use this purely for the pubic area, you probably have over fifty or sixty uses in this bottle. Of course, if you use it for your legs, that would cut it dramatically. I actually felt really safe using this near the pubic area since I use the Sliquid Splash (feminine wash) as my soap, so this had the same irritation-free ingredients. The bottle, while not having any special hold indentations, is still pretty easy to hold.
How does it work? It works well. It’s not the same as my regular shaving cream, and to be honest, I have to say I miss that. There’s some satisfying about the foaming shaving cream that makes me very, very happy. It’s all foofy and fun. However, that’s not to say that this shaving cream is without warrants. When it comes to foaming shaving cream, it’s hard to use the Wahl trimmer because you can’t really see the hair that well. This shaving cream applies like a clear lotion, so while you can easily see where the lotion is, it’s not very foamy or thick, so it’s easy to be able to take off stray hairs. It doesn’t leave my hands feeling icky, and it washes off nicely when I’m ready to wash it off. It doesn’t have any scent, so I don’t have to worry about irritation from the scent. I actually end up really liking the Smooth shaving creme. It’s not as “fun” as my foaming shaving cream, but it does its job really well.
For the knowledge, here are the ingredients in Sliquid Smooth: Purified Water, Plant Cellulose, Cetyl & Stearyl Palmatate, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Green Tea Extract, Centrimonium Salts, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and DMDM Hydantoin. Smooth is also not tested on animals.
The SecretStyles are made from silicone and produced by FunFactory. The set does come with two separate little “Stylers”. They come in a cardboard box that is really huge for the size of the items. The box could be used for storage, but honestly, you can just take them out in throw them in a drawer. The set does come with a little heart Styler as well as a little keyhole Styler. Each one of the Stylers is just a piece of relatively thin silicone with a little handle on the back of it. The handle does have an indentation on the back to make it easier to hold with slick fingers. The stylers don’t really have a concave design, so they won’t really “hold” up against the skin without being pressed down.
The Stylers do have to be held down in order to use them. It can be difficult to use the Stylers while using a manual razor since your hand will tend to slip and slide around, but it is possible. Keep in mind that, since you’re just trimming around the Styler, the area will be bare except for where you have the Styler placed, so you still might need to trim the heart/keyhole even further after you finish your shaving. My biggest complaint about the SecretStyler is that it didn’t come with instructions. I know, the idea is still pretty basic, but I feel like I might be missing some big “idea” that makes these easier to use. They aren’t hard to use, but I wouldn’t call them a piece of cake either. To put it plainly, I’d do this for special occasions, but this is way too much of a pain for regular use.
As a group, the set works well. I wouldn’t call it amazing, but it does the job. Because the shaving cream doesn’t lather too much, it’s easier to see the hair that you need to trim with the trimmer. Holding down the shapes while using the trimmer isn’t nearly as hard as it would be as if you were using a manual razor. It doesn’t get the closest shave possible, but if you have a manual razor, it’s pretty easy to touch-up some of the longer-hair spots since they’ll be enough of a visual difference to tell where your “shape” was.
It’s easy to store this set. It doesn’t look too out-there, so you can easily store this in your bathroom somewhere for easy use. For cleaning of the silicone Stylers, you can easily boil them to sterilize for another partner to use. Really, this set is virtually maintenance-free.
Overall? I like the Intimate Shaving Kit. It’s not something that I would pull out on a daily basis, but I would use it as a surprise. I use the Smooth shaving lotion a lot when I shave, and when I need to trim my pubic hair,the Personal Detailer ends up doing really nicely. The shapes can be a bit of a pain to use, but they still end up doing their job really nicely. If you want a set that’s going to allow you to style your pubic hair as a surprise or just for yourself, the Intimate Shaving Kit does a great job. Thanks to Babeland Sex Toys for sending me this for review.
