A lady's straight razor...lets design it!
Ladies,
I have been thinking quite a bit on making a few more razors and instead of me "thinking" of what would work, you ladies could help me to get it right. I want to design a razor for women, to be used by women. I have several smaller razors like The Mab (pic below) and such that I would think would be pretty close, but am unsure.

Cutting edge is 2 1/8"
Width is 4/8
OAL of the whole blade is just shy of 4 3/4"
Here is where I need your ladies input. I know the underarms may not be too bad to shave, but the nether regions are another story. My wife keeps things smooth down south and mentioned that she would consider using a straight if it was the right size. A traditional straight in my mind would be a bit unmanageable to maneuver. Another thing that I wonder about is if scales would help or hinder. What size of cutting edge? What OAL would you recommend? All in all, what would your dream razor be? I will make it out of carbon steel (1095 or 0-1), but from there it's up to you.
Sincerely,
Scott
