Women have their secrets and I am happy for them to remain a secret. One reason that I started using a straight razor was so that my wife stopped shaving her legs with my razor. So far so good.A woman using a straight razor!Oh my what will happen next? Women being allowed to get driver licences, allowed to get higher education or even having managerial positions?
This must stop here and now! I'll imediately saddle my horse and ride to the royal palace to file a complaint. The king surely wont tolerate this.
On a more serious note: Women do have facial hair, most of them don't have as heavy growth as the average man, but most women trim their facial hair or they'll at least get some sort of moustache. What they don't do however is to talk about their facial hair. Men are supposed to believe that women have a large mane on their heads and otherwise no visible hairgrowth at all. The truth is that women used their husband's straight razor back in the old days and only a few years after the entry of the DE razor female versions of it were introduced. The rumour says that Marilyn Monroe shaved her face on a daily basis and that doesn't stop me from thinking of her as one of the most beautiful and feminine women that ever lived.
To summarize the above tedious ranting: I can't see anything odd about a woman using a straight razor and being good at it.
Women, particularly older women, do have facial hair. I’ve encouraged my four year old daughter to give her grandad a hard time about his unsightly moustache which has been a great joke. What I wasn’t expecting was for her to get into her grandmother for her unshaven appearance. I can assure you that it was most embarrassing for all assembled at the breakfast table the morning that she sternly instructed her Nanny to shave her whiskers! Nanny’s protests fell on deaf ears and no one could help her. By the afternoon the whiskers were gone. I don’t think it was a straight razor but something happened.
