Re: Razors.

You could get like me and not need to shave but once every two to three
months. I guess that must be part of menopause. It happened to my sister
too. I have not grown hair under my arms for months. I think I last had
hair under their in May. I occasionally get one or two. Legs I
sporadically get once in a while. Then it will grow normal and I'll shave
my legs and get no growth for over a two months or more. Weird!
