What a great time saving idea! This razor's head is surrounded by what looks like a bar of soap. You just wet it and start shaving, no separate gel needed. I swear that it took me less than half the normal time needed to shave my legs. Two things I particularly loved were: First, you don't get all that shave gel gunk stuck in the blades so you don't have to rinse the razor after every swipe (time saver). Second, it always seems that just as soon as I get the shave gel on, the shower is rinsing it off so I'm doing a silly water avoidance thing. No problem with the Intuition because it just glides along so easily. Yes, it's crazy to get excited about a razor, but most women will agree that anything that makes it quicker and easier to shave is a very valuable innovation.
