A question for the ladies

    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.

    You got a PM! :D

    Might as well let her try a sample before you go buying 100 of them.
