Everyone needs to buy razors (well, unless you spend a lot of time at laser hair removal centers). For a long time, I honestly wasn’t sure which razor brands were considered cruelty free. I assumed they were all owned by big brands that test on animals (like P&G). Well, I was wrong! Schick razors are cruelty free and not tested on animals!
I recently tried the Schick Intuition Naturals Sensitive Care razor. It has four blades and a “skin conditioning solid” which basically means you don’t need to use shaving gel, soap or cream with it. The skin conditioner has Vitamin E and aloe to soothe skin and prevent nicks. It lathers up a little and it’s clear, so you can see where you’re shaving.
I think it’s perfect for legs (or arms if you shave those), but because the head is so big, it’s a little tricky to get a precise shave for underarms and bikini. It’s great to use all over when you’re in a hurry – you can skip the lathering step and just go for it.
Schick has also come out with a more Earth-friendly package design. The former all-plastic package is now made with recycled paperboard, recycled plastic window and VOC-free inks. The whole shebang is also recyclable.
For those trickier areas, I prefer the Schick Quattro Trimstyle. This razor is one of those “why didn’t we have this already?” kind of products. It has a regular Schick razor on one end and a trimmer on the other (for that um…landing strip…or whatever you have going on down there). Guys can (and should) use it (or the Men’s Quattro razors) too. No one wants to see a jungle down there!

Good to know Schick is cruelty-free! I've been using their Quattro for years
how do you know schick are not testing on animals? or energizer -who owns it- for that matter? it doesnt say anything about animal testing on their website and PETA says schick does test on animals
Some people like jungles, fyi.
LOL! Well okay some people do!
Where did you see that?! Their rep promised me they were cruelty-free. If that’s not the case, please let me know.
They test on animals as well as their parent company…
I was told they don't – do you have a link I can check out?
Has there been any update to this? I'm really concerned that Schick does and I'd like to know how you determined they don't test on animals when all evidence online points in that direction. thanks!
The Schick rep submitted a statement saying they were 100% cruelty free. If you find out that's not true, please email me at jen at mybeautybunny dot com
Only problem with buying Schick is that the money goes directly into pockets of Wilkson Sword/ Energizer who own Schick – and who DO do animal testing. We have to be careful to research who owns what companies and where the money ultimately goes. That's why I no longer buy Body Shop; because it belongs to L'Oreal.
We believe that supporting animal-friendly companies goes a long way toward the eventual elimination of animal testing. If the parent companies see the successes of their brands who do not test, it's a win. It's also a win for the animal-friendly companies to get larger distribution in mass channels by being involved with huge companies. That's our personal opinion here at My Beauty Bunny and we invite you to make up your own mind on the matter!
what is your opinion on the whole ordeal with estee lauder? Would you still buy MAC products even though you know that those exact MAC products were being tested on animals for a different market? Do you think its a different situation here?

No – I won’t buy from them until they stop selling in China! http://www.mybeautybunny.com/mac-longer-cruelty-f…
