Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion Helpful Tips shaving legs

I think Shalinara touched on something important... an extension for her razor... I contacted the Remington Company of Electric and Cordless Shavers for men and women and put the problem to them ... I asked about them creating an adaptable extension for their ladies shavers so people with limited reach due to various disabilities could shave their legs with some degree of comfort... I'll keep you updated with any response I get from them. Hey it was worth a try... you never know what's possible until you ask.

Regards,
Joan

Good thinking, Joan. Way to go! I would never have thought to do that. Maybe if a lot of us got in touch, they would see a market value and it may speed up development?

Amanda,
Can't offer any advise on this. I only shave when necessary and when I do I take my time, make sure I have lots of hot water and will strike any pose that will accommodate back inflexable spine. Deidre

Ladies Ladies Ladies.
sorry but I couldn't help noticing you have a problem, I know just what you mean though. When I a heart attack back in March 2000, I was given an operation where my haert was fitted with a 'stent' a littl tube inserted into the vein to keep it open, anyway I digress, I had to be 'clean shaven' if you get my meaning, from shin to chest, not a pretty site but well, they said they knew best. I was given 2 tubes of some proprietry brand hair remover and put in a shower cubicle, and before I knew it I looked like a 'plucked turkey'.

Stay Well
Paul

Haven't you heard of " Nads " ?
Invented by an Australian Lady for her Daughters , made it up in her kitchen from natural products .

This product must be International by now ?

Why bother with shaving , it's bad enough for us blokes .

LOL.... NADS!! We crack up everytime we see that commercial! (No offense to Austrailia!)

Contacting Remington, what a great idea! If they can have a special parking spot for expectant mothers (who should be walking!) then they can certainly have a razor designed for those with disabilites!

Yeah, I've heard of Nads. My mom bought it at a Pharmacy in Florida right after it came out in stores and it didn't work for her. She tried it several times and had no luck. So she gave it to me. I had no luck either. So I gave it to my sister in law and it didn't work for her either.

Nair doensn't work for any of us either.

Sally Hansen brand hair remover works, but I have to wear rubber gloves because it is so strong that it breaks my hands out (I have sensitive hands). But it is $4 or $5 per bottle and a bottle only lasts through about 3 times! (I have to put it on thick because my hair is stubborn). And the prickle comes back in about 2 days too.

Just thought I'd let you know Nads doesn't work for me.
