    Default A razor for ladies ?

    Hi
    I found recently a razor with a box for put in blade. Just for box I bought it. But the razor reminds me the ladies razors. It's gold colour and so light ( not heavy at all).


    Do you it might be? As women used the razors to shave their legs and armfits ..

    There is no scale there so I can't tell it's size.

    They made razors (DEs) for women called Boudoir Razors and they were small, really small.

    Maybe, you never know. How big is it? Women's razors were really small. I don't think men would want to use one for face shaving.

    I have seen a couple of Kewtie female razors and they are tiny. Smaller than a Zippo lighter I think. Grant shaves with a ladies razor in North By Northwest.

    Then it's not a women's razor.

    Mine uses a standard DE so I think it is not what you are writing about.

    A small women could easily shave more area than a large man so I don't understand the small razor.

    If you are talking a boudoir razor the idea was not to shave large areas but to do trim work in a variety of areas kind of like a 2/8 or 3/8s straight which was designed for trim work.

    Think about those small electric trim razors they sell these days as "personal" razors and "body" razors.

    Although I still don't understand from lack of experience I will concede your point.
