I managed to convince her to use my Merkur on her legs last week to compare to the expensive venus thousand blade cartridge she has been using for ever. She seemed to like the closer shave but didn't seem too enthused. Well, the other day I came home and she said " Honey I hope you don't mind I used your razor again". Lol, we went out today and picked up an old Gillette for her from the antique store due to it being much lighter and nimble to shave her legs with. The Merkur is the heavy barber pole model. I'm proud of her! Now, how can I talk her into letting me try one of the straights out on her...
