i shaved one of my girlfriends legs yesterday so she could compare it to the other one that she used her Gillette blue star on. they were pretty even. i did WTG to start which may have been wrong, i think i should have just gone straight to ATG, or up the leg, as the hairs an her legs grow pretty much straight out, with only a slight angle. she liked it, i only had one very minor nick where the razor caught and left a mark. i used my SS Puma and it seemed to work good.
