    I have a women's shaver which I have offered to my Mrs several times, she uses those terrible disposable razors on her legs. She has yet to even try the razor. How many of you guys have manged to convert your Mrs or GF's to wet shaving? How many of you have even tried?

    Tried and failed several times. Working on my daughter. She's been practicing with a disposable, not ready to shave yet, but I'm not supposed to know that. :D

    Soft sell, over the course of time.

    Keep dropping hints, talk about how much better it is, etc.

    Wife? Nope...too set in her ways. My daughter uses her pink-handled Ladies' Gillette on occasion, though not all the time.

    Partially converted my wife. She uses the soaps, creams, and brushes the most. She has a Lady Gillette and a Wilkinson CLassic that she uses, but she is also still going through her "Venus" supplies.

    I'd advise your daughter to hold off starting to shave until she really needs to. I started earlier and regret it. Puberty can be a confusing time with so many changes and new personal care routines--it's nice if not all the changes hit at once :happy005

    I can't convert my wife as she doesn't grow leg hair. Also, she is quite prowd of her three under arm hairs. But if she was a hairy woman, I would try to get her hooked by doing it for her in the bath after a long relaxing massage.

    My husband converted me but it didn't take much. I liked the whole idea of great smelling shaving products and smooth legs. And having my own pretty lady gillette didn't hurt. I think if most women could feel how much smoother their legs are after a DE shave they'll be converted.

    I'm not so sure about that Lara, for either ladies' legs or men's faces. If that were so then many more of both sexes would be wet shaving. Everything about advertising seems to be promising something for nothing. In other words, you only have to look at a Mach 3/Fusion/Quattro advertisement and "know" that for no work involved you'll get the closest shave possible. Today, everything is about How Fast Can I Get This Done. Sad but true, IMHO. :(

    I converted my girlfriend tonight. She has watched me shave with my D/E and think all the razors are neat. She actually bought me a Wostenholm straight today...ANYWAY. She was scared to use it because it looked intimidating. So i said I would do one leg and "show her how its done" and then she could do the other. She was a little nervous at first but when it was her turn she was excited. She said it was a MUCH closer shave than her normal throw away. She wants her own now and the whole experience was great fun for both parties!hahah

    Hope it helps,
    Phillip from Texas
