Hello! Shaving with the long handle of the Lady Gillette seems much easier than with the shorter and thicker handle of the Weishi. I imagine this is from the extra leverage? I tried the Lady Gillette with Sharps (as suggested by JoAnna) + KMF cream.
Good for you jil and what you are doing is experimenting like all of us to find what works for you. Most of us then migrate to a rotation of different razors and combinations over time. You may want to try an injector razor at some point as that is a favorite of my wife who also has a Lady Gillette. BTW the injectors are very reasonably priced if you look around.
Yes she loves the injector because the shave lasts a long time compared to the cartridge type and it is much easier and forgiving to use than her Lady Gillette with a DE.
New BG's got both...The Lady Eversharp Injector and the whole series of Lady Gillettes...Looks like its time for a Back to Back "Shave Off"....I would be curious how those two compare, I know they are both great and the YMMV factor will be the definitive answer...But it would be cool to hear a comparison...and I know alot of gals and guys around here have tried both...Its my understanding the Lady Eversharp is the samething as the J series Hydro-magic...And there have been volumes written on how great they are... And congratulations jilraf...I know those Lady Gillettes are great...I remember BG raving about hers during Super Speed love week...
I am so I love with my long handle blue starburst! I get such a smooth shave it's hard to believe I just started using this razor!
If you like the Lady Gillette consider acquiring a super 109 also called the super adjustable long. It lacks the ball on the bottom but has an adjustment dial which I think more than makes up for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
I got two Lady Gillettes several travel boxes ago. They're in a drawer waiting for my daughters along with some long handled Schicks to decide if they like them. It'll be a few years yet.
We have three - a blue one and a pink one for my wife, a blue one for me. All three are in my rotation. Ain't no such thing as a male or female razor. Shaves great!
Just picked up a champagne gold lady gillette for the wife. We'll see if she likes it, otherwise I'll keep it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
I (up until recently) had a blue Lady Gillette and enjoyed its shave. I just had Captain Murphy restore it and I sent it to my daughter in-law. She had been using my son's Edwin Jagger Kelvin and was so happy to receive the Lady Gillette. I'll miss my birth year and quarter razor, but I'm glad she's enjoying it.
