Hairy Maclary...no more!

De-fuzzing. It’s not something we tend to talk about with reckless abandon but it’s something every girl deals with. Personally, I’m a shaver. I can’t be arsed heading out to get waxed and laser is a little too exxy atm. Still, I’m okay with shaving. Doesn’t really bother me.

During the ABBW, we had the pleasure of listening to a talk by Larisa Alexander, CEO of TriShave. I really enjoyed her speech. She was incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about her brand and it really spoke to me. Now, I’m not gonna lie – I’ve never heard of the brand before. Pretty unfortunate considering I’m now in love with the 2 women’s prodz I received. Here they are:

Pink and purple! Weeee!

Let’s talk about the Shave Crème first. This is a 3in1 prod as it cleanses, conditions and moisturises. It’s got goodies like rose and tea tree oils so it prevents irritation and keeps skin looking good. This prod is a major standout. I usually use soap lather to shave (naughty) and while it works fine, this works so much better. The crème really grabs onto the fuzz so it gives you a much smoother and better shave. When I used just plain soap, my legs and underarms would be hair-free, but they weren’t that soft or that great to look at. I’ve been using this stuff since I got it (a few weekends ago) and my skin looks loads better (not as irritated and red) and feels much, much softer. More supple. Just lovely, really. Once I finish my tube, I’ll definitely be buying another. This is now a shower staple. P.S. You can really smell the tea tree oil. It’s not overpowering, but you can definitely smell it. May be an issue if you're not a fan. 

How to use it: Moisten skin with some good ol’ H20 and slap this stuff on. You don’t need much! Oh, and it doesn’t foam as it doesn’t have soap or soap substitutes. Nice one.

Next, the UV Body Defense Post Shave Moisturiser. This stuff is fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and even has SPF 30+ (both UVA and UVB filters)! LOVE THIS. Such a good and handy prod, especially since summer is coming up. This stuff has goodies like Evening Primrose oil, Vitamins A and E, as well as Shea Butter. It’s pretty concentrated (but not thick) so a little goes a looong way. I even use this on my arms (which I don’t shave) as well as my legs and other bits. Another good thing? It doesn't leave any sort of icky residue. It just sinks in and dissapears! Perfect. However, don't be fooled - it moisturises really well. Again, this is another prod totes worthy of purchase.

How to use it: Slather it on!

  1. Sounds great! I am also not the type of woman who likes waxing. It is too time consuming and expensive, and shaving works just the same to me. I have also never heard of this brand, but it sounds great!

  2. Loving this myself- cant believe it was there all along and I never knew. Shave foam won’t cut it anymore

  3. Used to wax - also did a massive 10 session IPL treatment that ultimately proved to me that my hair is a stubborn bastard and being fried at the roots will NOT kill it. Naargh.

    Ultimately me doing anything to my lady area results in rashes, ingrowns and a good deal of pain. The IPL at least thinned all that growth, so now I just trim. Overshare, yes.

    Legwise I shave though, and would be very interested to try this stuff! I've been shaving with the Acne.Org cleanser, which has really cut down on ingrowns and left my legs looking nicer - would like to know how this compares!

  4. @ Nancy - Totally agree! Shaving is simple, quick and cheap. :D

    @ Julie - Agreed! That shave creme is changing my life. haha

    @ Suzanne - lol This stuff works really well to tidy downstairs, too! I'll never forget the time I used a 'sensitive' Veet prod down there and broke out in the most horrendous rash I've ever seen in my entire life. I have no idea why I just shared that with you. Sorry. But yes, you should give the shave creme a shot. It's pretty wonderful!
