I recently purchased a 1965 (K-1) Lady Gillette for my niece. She was having a difficult time shaving her legs, and claimed she could only get a decent shave using baby oil in conjunction with disposable razors (bic?). She's since emailed thanking me as the lady gillette was giving her "the best shaves ever!". Maybe this is a dumb question with the obvious answer, but I wanted to make sure. Does the blade make as much difference on the legs as on the face? Should I purchase a blade sampler pack for her, or would this be overkill? Thanks in advance.
My wife stuck a Sharps in (well I did it for her) and she dose not even want to try another blade. I am sure a blade assortment will not hurt at all to try.
I tried several different blades, and found SHARPs to be the best and most forgiving. Feathers are acceptable for me too. I say, SHARPs.
Ok, I did some searching and the only place I found the sharps was on ebay. Is there a vendor of choice for these blades? Thanks.
My vendor of choice is always Rene (SSLStudio). See our reviews of him http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1539 He is a TSD member, and you can just send him a pm.
