DE Reccomendation for my wife

[Old Man Army]

My wife finally got tired of paying the ridiculous prices for women's disposable razors and asked to use one of mine. I let her use a Milord and some of my shaving soap and she was amazed at the great shave. The only complaint she had was the razor handle was too short. I know Gillette made a razor just for women, but they seem to be selling for a premium that I am unwilling to spend. I've been looking at the Gillette Knack, as it seems to have a longer handle. Any feed back or other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

My bride loves my Knack. I brought it into the house, she saw it, I've never gotten to use it! I just asked her and she highly recommends it.

Thanks for the input. My wife doesn't need a razor with a blue handle and stars (she doesn't have RAD, at least not yet!)

My wife is happy with the Lord Premium L6 I bought her. She likes the length and thinks it is more feminine looking/feeling than my Mergress. I havent shaved with it so I cant comment on it but she likes it, and its cheap:

Shick Krona came in a Long handle and it is adjustable.

Shick Krona came in a Long handle and it is adjustable.

+1 My experience with the Krona is that it's mild and very forgiving of technique. Fairly easy to find and reasonably priced.

Parker also makes one they call a Unisex. It's the 29L and looks a lot like the Lady Gillette.

The Feather Popular is a mild shaver with a long slim handle. It is also very inexpensive at around $20.00.

Huh?

The Gillette Old Types with a custom longer handle work wonders for the legs.
You could also get the Lady Gillette.

I also recommend the Krona. For a modern razor, a Merkur 23c is good too.
