Well, my youngest daughter officially became a shaver today. She wanted to take it all the way with using a brush and everything. Although my wife and oldest daughter both use DE's, neither have taken to using a brush. My wife tried it for a while, but gave up on it. Too fussy for her, she's a shower shaver and found it too awkward to use the brush and mug in running water. My oldest daughter never expressed any interest, and I haven't pushed the issue letting her make her own choice. But, when my youngest came to us, she said she wanted to use a brush like Dad. Blush So, I set her up with a vintage Ever Ready pure badger brush, coffee mug to soak it in, and a deep cereal bowl to whip the lather up in. La Toja Sensitive shaving cream, a flare tip Super Speed, and Lord Classic blade completed the set up. She did great and took to it real quick.

So, now I'll be on the hunt for another Lady Gillette....Rolleye

My kids aren't old enough to shave yet, but I'm hoping one day to get them included. Glad your daughter is taking to the brush.

Cool. My wife smears some kind of cream/soap on her legs in the shower and uses some kind of pink multi-blade razor she got at Walgreens. I tried to show her the way and she just said "leave me alone". Never argue with a woman with a pink razor in her hand. Smile

I've never tried to convert my wife to wet shaving. I can barely schedule time in the bathroom as it is, and if I introduced another 10 - 15 minute ritual to her I'd be getting ready in the morning with a plastic basin and the hose pipe in the backyard.

The whole family is on DE's here, at least. The oldest and my wife both use canned gel, but I was floored when the youngest asked me to show her how to use a brush and stuff. I shouldn't have been too surprised, she's the one who comes out hunting with me and stuff like that.

Fortunately we get ready at completely separate times. I'm usually out of the house long before she wakes up when I work days, and get ready much later in the morning when I'm on nights.
