My fiancé's first REAL shaves...
So a while back I bought a mint (basically) Gillette Lady DE razor (light blue) as a surprise for my fiancé. I had been trying to convince her to use straights or at LEAST a DE. She had expressed how pretty she thought the blue Gillette Lady was, so now she has one. Anyway, a few people sent some blades to try (this being the ladies forum I will publicly thank Viola for her contribution!) and after a while she finally tried her first leg shave with the DE. Well she is sold! She didn't have a brush to use or special soaps and was kind of waiting on me to get her that stuff (which I never said I'd do lol) but instead decided one day to use some cream I had and just lather with her hands. To make a long story short she loved it. Agreed that the shave was much nicer- smoother and less irritation. She also had no cuts or anything- she thought it was as easy as could be although she WAS being very careful. So that's all good.
Then one day I won't give the details but I was pretty much playing around looking at some razors I had lying around and she wanted me to try to shave some peach fuzz off of her arm or something. So I did. Welllll, one thing led to another and I ended up shaving her (I'm sure you can imagine what I mean) with a straight. Weird thing was- no lather, no water. Just a dry shave lol. Pretty much just because we weren't even in the bathroom. Funny thing about it is she loved it! Little irritation (only a little initially from the dry factor I would say), comfortable, and closer than she has ever had. The effects lasted for a whiiile too. No real growth for at least a couple days. We were both pretty much thrilled.
So anyway, she is now sold on the real shaving methods. I doubt she will use them every time as it does take longer, but one more has been converted! Just thought I should share that all here...
