Is It Unsanitary to Use His Razor?

You're out of deodorant, can you use his? And is it unsanitary to use a guy's razor? Go ahead, raid his bathroom cabinet if you're in a pinch.

Anti-perspirants and deodorants contain the same ingredients for both men and women, the difference is in the fragrance. If you don't mind smelling like a pine tree, then swipe away.

As for his used razor, it's generally better to use your own because a dull razor can cause nicks, but in a pinch, go ahead and borrow his razor, it's not going to give you a disease.

Other things to consider about his products: Women's shaving creams tend to be heavier, but there's no reason not to use a guy's cheaper shaving cream to shave your legs. As for cleansers formulated for him? These are OK for you in a pinch, but many are created to prepare skin for shaving and these ingredients could dry out your skin, according to Real Simple Magazine's October 2006 issue.
