Good Morning, lz6,
Sorry about the indiscretion. I hadn't thought of that subject except objectively. In no manner did I intend it to mean anything other. After all, Probably 99% view shaving as a method of hair removal with no other connotation. Moreover, I had no intention of shaving her anything, especially with a straight razor. I don't even know how to shave another. For all of my life, I've shaved only myself.
Years ago, when surgeons removed hair prior to surgery, I've had nurses shave a knee and under an arm preparatory to open surgeries. I paid very close attention to what the heck they were doing. That's the way I roll. When people get close to me with sharp or cutting objects, I tend to get nervous and pay attention.
The topic of this thread is as indicated: do women use straight razors for grooming? I had no clue since I haven't even owned one for a month, and I've never used one. I do know that my girlfriend has affinity for all things antique, which was basis for my question. And last Friday she did connect my brand spanking new straight razor to antiques.
I am thinking of buying a straight razor for my girlfriend. Before I drop a couple hundred bucks on one, I thought it prudent to first figure out whether women use them. Because of your most knowledgeable posters here, especially the poster who had posted the link to the Razor Queen, I'm more comfortable about shaving off some of my bank account balance on a straight razor for her. And because of her asking me last Friday whether a straight razor is considered antique, I know that if she uses it only a few times, she'll derive aesthetic pleasure from it.
