Note that this is a recommendation for your very very special case - I'm just thinking that by the time you try 20 razors and start getting an idea of what you like your wife will not be as supporting anymore...
If you must go the standard route - sheffield steel in stiff grind seems different enough and these are plentiful. It seems most people on this board go for large sizes, so I suspect there are tons of people looking to unload their for example 5/8 round point rodgers (actually I like them enough to have several duplicates, but for one of them you'll have to wait until I get around to hone it). In any case the truth is that you will want to try even more razors, so just take it slowly and enjoy.
