    Guys and ladies, I need your advice :D

    Tha last few weeks a school-friend of my brother came over a few times because their internet-connection wasn't working and to learn together and whatever.
    We get along quite well and at one point she asked me about my collection of shaving stuff, looked through it, sniffed and touched and was quite impressed. She also said she shaved her legs with a cartridge-razor and goo from the can and I told her that those DEs could also be used for leg-shaving and that there once were ladies-DEs as well. She seemed quite interested.

    So, my question is: How do I go about it to get her interested in using a DE? I mean, I could offer her to shave her legs but that would be a tad inappropriate as I don't know her that well ;)

    Any ideas?

    It depends a bit, but I would certainly consider bidding on a Ladies Gillette as a gift for her! I don't know if you want to spend that money on a girl you don't know at this stage, but then again, why not?

    If she is as interested as I understand from you description I would consider it. Just as a random act of kindness, I like such things!

    There are always some on ebay, and they can be landed for reasonable prices too! And you probably already have enough blades to get her started.

    And you would certainly make her happy!

    Welcome to The Shave Den, Liz!

    Are you using a safety, a cartridge, or a straight razor? Have a brush?

    Ummm...advice, let's see.

    I have found Taylors of Old Bond Street's Avocado shave cream to be the best cream or soap for my legs. The legs have few oil glands and have a tendency for dryness. So the moisturizing abilities of the Avocado cream is terrific for that particular area.

    Not sure what else to offer. If you have more exact questions, I'd be happy to answer those.

    Advice?

    Just shave baby! ;)


    ...........and what the Queen said.

    Don't fear the cream/soap, brush, and single blade razors. My wife can do it, so can you.

    My g/f uses the typical disposable stuff from the store when she shaves. As mentioned by someone else she has the I wear long pants so no need to shave attitude.

    But when she does I wouldn't call it shaving. More like butchering. You would think Freddy Kreuger shaves her legs. :rofl

    I will try. But first I have to teach myself. Then I will have to slowly teach her. I eventually taught her how to handle firearms but it took a lot of work. I guess I'm up for another challenge.

    As long as no alcohol is involved I should be alright. ::

    Ladies legs blunt razors

    Hi all,

    I have an answer for the sister who wore out the razor. Skin as well as hair causes blade wear. Shaving a pair of legs wears the blade as much as 5 days of facial shaving.

    I just wish someone would teach European women to shave under their arms. Just watched a British movie and when Emma Thompson lifted her arm, yuck a forest. Thank you American women for shaving your armpits, we appreciate it.
