    After a decade of her heckling my shaving obsession, this summer my wife started using a brush and soap to shave. A few weeks ago, she said she wouldn't mind getting a vintage razor, but she wanted something easy to use and with a long handle. I'm hoping she likes this... Screenshot_2017-12-10-12-25-15.png

    Nice, is that a Hydro-magic?

    But there's mold on the handle. :eek: Just joking ... I'm sure it will be a pleaser! :D

    I believe it's a Hydro-Magic. There's no pictures of the razor out of the case, so fingers crossed for NOS...

    Now, come on! Don't you know that when she said she wanted "nothing" for Christmas she really meant it? :D

    Nice score! I'm sure she'll love it.

    And nothing is always the right size and easy to wrap. But nothing keep you so warm on that couch. :cool:

    I don't know about your wife but I like it. If you give it to me I'll act surprised when I open it.

    Good choice. Although my GF has a Gillette Starburst, I gave her another type of Lady Schick with a long handle. She really likes it as she hasn't nicked herself with it yet.

    It does have a Hydro-Magic type head.

    My wife originally tried a Lady Gillette and didn’t care for it.

    Her friend mentioned wanting a Lady Schick like she’d had several years ago so I supplied them both and they’re more than pleased. In fact, I just changed the blade in my wife’s razor the other day.

    The one you purchased is essentially a 500 with glitter. The man’s version is black handled with a gold head.

    This is another type of razor that was marketed towards women. A Lady Eversharp, same type of Hydro-Magic head, and also with different colored handles. My GF's has a white handle..........
