The Ladies in our lives.

Venus cartridge.  Always has been always will be.  She uses the same one for months at a time with no irritation and no problem.  If she had to actually use it on her face she might think twice about it, but she doesn't have to.  The bath soaps from artisans are enough to let me buy soap when I want to.  It's why traditional shaving will never be a mainstream thing.........people are in too much of a hurry these days.

I never got the hurry thing. How much time does one spend on Facebook or some other thing on the internet.... Couldn't a fraction of the time be spend taking care of yourself? hrug:

Nope,if that were the case everybody would be DE shaving right now.  Younger generations have different priorities I guess.

Hey man, I'm only 33! =p

Here are the ladies in my life...

Oh, wait, ok...sorry. I saw the title of the thread and thought "ok, here are the ladies in my life..." LOL

I digress..seriously, my wife uses and loves her 1970's Schick Krona with Astra SS greens and what ever shave soap is within reach (we have plenty...believe me )

She like the longer handle on the Schick for leg shaving and also likes that the handle is plastic (lightweight, yet still substantial)

Although my wife is very tolerant - in fact encouraging - of my wet shaving activities and acquisitions, I cannot get her interested in trying anything other than the disposable razors that she uses in the shower.

My story is quite the opposite one. She encouraged and walked me through my first safety razor shave!!

I was having severe razor burn and such issues during winter in my neck. I tried various cartridges without much luck. Then tried electric - thinking I am not being modern enough.

I eventually picked up a cream, after shave and brush from Art of Shaving store. This helped to some extent but didn't solve my problem completely. Then I found online that some folks use single blade (DE) razors with great comfort and read an article about problems associated with multi blade cartridges. I showed that to my wife and she told me my (late) father in law used to use that and she used it for her legs when she was younger.

So I picked up a EJ DE89 from Amazon and it was my wife who (kind of) taught me how to use a DE!!

She uses those Venus or whatever now even though I insisted on using one of mine.

Great story!

Thank you sir!!!

My wife has a saying..."what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine".
That being said. She is a person of habit and convenience. She steals my free schicks that come in the mail. But never buys or changes blades. Then she takes my one bladers that I use for quick shaves and travel. But she uses bar soap for the legs and such... I did shave her legs using some PAA soap. But she was like ho hum.

My wife did the lazer thing......done.

After buying some soap samples, assembling a brush, and offering to help with starting out — no luck yet on converting my wife, as she hasn’t even tried what I’ve gotten her. Hopefully that’ll change in the future.

My wife makes fun of my razor "collection". I tried to get her to try it, but she's scared and I can't convince her otherwise.
