There are many options, most oh them already mentioned

Rockwell 6s or 6c
Merkur 34c or a closed comb 3 piece option
Razorock Gamechanger or 0.58 Lupo

Giesen und Forsthoff Timor closed Comb

Hi,

My wife tried all my razors and decided she liked my Dad's 1948 SuperSpeed the best. But she wished for a longer handle. So I got her a Lady Gillette.

You can see it here next to my Grandfather's Old Type (she hated that BTW) and my Fasan DoubleSlant and my Dad's late model Tech.

Lady Zig uses a Mühle R89, Gillette Lady, or Blue Tip SuperSpeed on her legs and underarms. If you want an R89, PM me. I'll send you the razor and a tuck of Gillette Silver Blues.

My wife was not interested for a long time, but eventually considered it for the reduction in plastic waste. She is having great luck with a Henson mild. She wanted something safe, but effective. Using cartridges, she wasn't interested in learning about angles, etc., so the Henson was a good bet.

My wife was happy for several years with a NDC Super Speed, then decided she wanted to try a longer handled razor. I got her a Merkur 23C, which she liked, except she missed the TTO function.

So I got her a ‘63 Lady Gillette, which was the best of both worlds - with the added bonus of a pretty blue color and mid-century “atomic starbursts”. She loves it!

Vintage wise the Lady Gillette nicely fits the bill (my daughter uses one) but the Schick DE aka Krona also is a worthy choice. Not dainty looking but with the long handle and a renowned smooth shave the Schick works too.

Wife confiscated my Muhle R89 after trying it out.
She also uses my soaps and my Rozorock brush.
But it had 2 benefits :
1) She had great smooth legs, arms and other body parts
2) I was able to buy another razor and brush

Just make sure to get the right color. My daughter fell in love with a cheap baby blue long handle 3 piece set I got her from Amazon. My wife loves her pink butterfly from Amazon. Color can mean a LOT for ladies. I don't know why, but I learned to obey the rule. I gave them each a selection of blades from mild Derby to wild BIC and they are now both totally happy and never going back to plastic junk. They both ended up liking Astra blades. I guess you need sharp for legs, but a bit of smooth helps a lot on bony spots like shins and ankles. Long grippy handles make them feel safer. Good luck!

Way late but wife has a Henson mild also like others

If cost is important, the Feather Popular is a modern mild TTO razor that's mostly plastic with a light weight cartridge feel to it. Under $20 new on eBay, with a few blades thrown in.

My wife used a 63 or 64 super speed for several years but 2 years ago I found a 64 lady gillette that shes used since (same head, longer handle). She really likes it and has said the longer handle does make a difference ofr ease of use.

You can buy a women's razor without a handle at all. These razors are sold in USA. Easy to shave under the arms.

My wife have taken possession of the Merkur 23C that was given to me as a Christmas gift. She likes to use sharp blades in it. Feather, KIA and Gillette Silver Blues when she runs out of the other two.

I will agree with the Henson and the 23C. The 23C has a super long handle and is extremely mild
