Female D/E Razors

[David7307]

My good lady is using cartridge razor just now , and a asked her if she wanted to try one of my D/E
told thy were to rough for her she liked the rounded edges of the cartridge Gillette
so is there a Ladies D/E razor and what is the difference if there is, in the design compared to a mans razor

Hey @David7307 - the Lady Gillettes were certainly designed with the longer handle with woman in mind (irony being that the early Milady Gillettes had a very short handle).

As an alternative I've had some interest with these NOS vintage Wilkies -



Not made as a ladies razor per see, in fact a recent DE made of plastic and fairly light BUT the blade is very protected -




I doubt that you could cut yourself with these even if you tried BUT they are not a 'too mild to use' razor either. I think Mrs
@Dale.Whiley tried and didn't like so he may have a used one if you are interested or I might still have a NOS one.

Out of the 4 razors my wife has used, weirdly enough...she likes the long handle progress the best!

Would be helpful to know what she used [emoji846]

She has a rotation of the following:

- my LH Progress
- Lady Gillette
- Slim
- Bombay Shaving Company razor

I think my wife still has that razor in her display (since the girls have left home she has claimed the second bathroom as her own). Although she does not use it anymore preferring her birth year Slim and Lady Gillette, it is still part of her display. End of arguement.

There was an argument?
