Have the ladies in your lives converted from cart shaving?

    I'm curious...What do the ladies in your lives shave with? My wife is a cart shaver, and I have been trying to convert her to DE/Injector wet shaving. It's mostly selfish...If I can get her into soaps and blades, we can place orders together instead of me having to save money into my PayPal. The learning curve isn't something she wants to tackle yet. She is where I was a year ago: shaving being a chore to get done as quickly as possible instead of a chance to relax and pamper yourself a bit.

    My wife is terrified of using a DE razor, do I don't think I'll ever convert her. But, she had noticed how much better get shaves are when I whip up some Mike's Hungarian Lavender and apply it to her legs for her. They are noticeably smoother after.

    Both my wife and my daughter use a DE razor, and Razorock Plissoft brush, as of a few months ago. They also use creams and croaps. My wife currently has three creams in the corner of the shower; Captain's Parallel 45, TOBS grapefruit and TOBS coconut (the coconut arrived this week). Both tell me the shaving creams feel better on their legs than canned stuff.

    I purchased each of them a Parker 29L, primarily to save money. My wife got the hang of it quickly with only a nick or two during the first couple times, but my daughter has nicked herself a few times, even after a couple months of using a DE, on her knee or ankle, probably from rushing it.

    Try a Feather Popular. As mild as mild could ever be, plastic so it can just get left in the shower, and cheap as heck. My wife has been using one for a couple of years now. She uses a Trac II cart sometimes, but I notice that if she grabs a razor for the bathtub, it is always the Popular.

    Once me wife saw me DE shaving she was interested. She said she used to use her dad's razor back in the day. I picked up a Fat Handle Tech, had it replated by RazorPlate and she's used it ever since. She tried an injector and didn't like it. She doesn't use any shaving soap as she shaves mostly in the tub or shower. She loves it.

    I bought my wife a Lady Gillette and a Schick Golden 500. She uses the Gillette the most and likes it. I also bought her a brush and some soaps. She is having fun..

    Same here. My wife also doesn't see the extra time needed as pampering and relaxing. She just sees it as making a chore take longer.

    Herself will only go as far as having me lather her legs with Trumper Rose Shaving Cream. She likes the smell. And when it runs out, I get to order a tub of it and something for me. Win-Win!

    Mine either. She does use a brush and lather in the bath sometimes, but usually it's KMF while standing on her head in the shower. It amazes me how fast she can do it.

    My Ex-wife had a bad teenage experience with a DE razor, but she enjoys the Lady Schick Hydromagic injector razor.
    My S.O. Lady Friend tried and likes a Lady Gillette DE. I picked up a spare so I could enjoy the Flare Tip head on the longer handle.

    My wife uses a 60s Lady Gillette DE. She was using Dr Jon's Aphrodite and Ginger's Garden Flower Grenade with a Stirling synthetic brush but has switched to Ladies Cremo brushless. My buddies wife switched too.

    Can't really say...I'll have to ask her. Last time I dated her was like 45 years ago. We just found each other again.

    My wife isn't very hairy so no need to convert. She's more in the supply business.

    Bought her a Gillette Starburst and she loves it. Now she's got an eye on my Schick J after she used it one time. Guess I'll have to find her a nice Lady Schick (K)............
