Sigh.... I'm just happy WHEN she DOES shave her legs... "I don't wear dresses, I don't see the point.." -S
Hi JoAnna, I noticed you said that a man's beard wears a blade out faster than a woman's leg hair? When I was a teenager, I used a double edge razor. It was the 60's and Gillette had a blade called the "Spoiler". Anyway, one day I started to shave and realized my blade was not in useable condition. I asked my teenage sister if she used it and she looked embarrassed but confessed that she had. I had to put in a new blade, to continue shaving. I'm curious, why do you suppose her using my razor would have rendered the blade useless? Steve
As I dont have either wife or girlfriend I have converted my best friend instead.. Ive gotten her a nice setup that she likes to use.. Gillette Ladies TTO Blue or a 3piece Red Parker DE Wilkinson UK Blades Muehle Best Badger MamaBear PearBerry Ss And she stole my Col Conk Lime as well..
Guess I should have stated my point a little differently. Depends on how many times she used the blade, and which areas she shaved. Leg hair is finer than underarm hair and bikini area hair. And of course everyone's hair is different levels of coarseness. Women shouldn't even share a razor because of the differences.
Hyperwarp- Have you tried getting her a Ladies Gillette to try. If she doesn't like it, you can always resell it for pretty much what you bought it for. So, not much to lose. Glad to hear she likes the Avocado though. As for the pink brush, the handle isn't as long as it looks in pictures , and mine is in pure I believe (too scratchy for my taste). Buy her the pink brush in best or better yet, just buy her a C&E Best Badger Brush.
I have a Venus Gillette, I've had if for many, many years, use with a divine blade - works great for me!
I think I've always had the 2 blader, but next time I buy some, I may have to try the single blade just for the experience. :chores026
I say just get yourself a long handled DE Razor and a blade pack, If you don't like it, sell it here or their or anywhere.
I bought my wife a few rose scented soaps from MB and her Attar of Roses cream, A long handled Blue Gillette. She's scared of their sharpness. Years ago before I found out about wet shaving I asked her about a straight for me. NO. She has a phobia about straights.:ashamed001 I used the Lady's Gillette on her. But she only used it herself a couple of times.
I've tried and tried, my girlfriend likes the whole brush and soap (or cream) idea but shes afraid of my DE's. she thinks she will slice her legs up. so for now she still uses the Venus. Its a shame because i stopped using my DE razors back in march and switched to straights only, now i have a vintage GEM, Gillette and an almost new Merkur Futur just collecting dust
hmm... really??? you sure it was legal to marry her? whenever i see japanese and shaving in the same sentence I think of this [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCZLjRs0068[/ame]
Welcome liz..... I'm sure JoAnna will be along soon with lots of info but, in the mean time...... Taylor of Old Bond Street makes a wonderful shave cream from Avocado oil. It does not smell like avocados but it is very moisturizing and gives a great shave. Thanks for stopping by !! .........................just went back and reviewed this thread. Apparently we have already discussed the TOBS Avocado cream Oh well.
