Here's where I am: my girlfriend is committed to convenience. She does acknowledge aesthetic appeal of straight razors. She is more opposed than acquiescent to the process of shaving with a straight razor. She shaves because she has to as opposed to wanting to shave. I'm the same way. She does keep herself clean and groomed, although she will skip shaving for a while if she can get away with it (pants in winter). We recently took a moderate-length road trip for a few days. While she showered every day, she didn't shave. She rarely takes baths. As far as I know, she shaves only while showering. She is not afflicted with trichophobia. She knows that men and women grow hair.

As I see it now, I'll buy her what a woman would call a pretty straight razor for Christmas. I'll spend more to get quality. I'll try to find one with antique appeal as long as it's made in Solingen, Germany. She can use a standard size straight razor. She doesn't need one modified for women. She has used my Fusion. She is 5'4" and normal weight.

My thinking is were she to try a straight razor that results in a closer shave, she might be inclined to stick with it. However, I don't think a close shave is appealing to her. Convenience is. Besides big bucks for waxing, one of the reasons she doesn't wax is due to convenience.

The right shaving soap with an appealing fragrance would probably entice her. As it is now, she uses shower soap to shave.

I will strop and sharpen her razor for her.

I'm leaning towards a Boker King Cutter: https://www.boker.de/us/straight-razor/140521.html

If she never uses it, she can display it with her collection of antiques.
