So I'd love this to go as smoothly as possible right out of the gate. Most notably I don't ever want to any harm befall my lovely bride. But also I believe that DE razors are superior to carts and I'd like this to stick. Any women out there with words of advice they would be greatly appreciated.
Also, she wants to use one of my razors to begin with rather than purchase one for herself. Here are my thoughts on that selection.
Rockwell 6c- I am leaning towards this over any other. Different plates are great, particularly #s 1 and 2 to start off with and for those "dicier" areas. Good knurling on the handle and a good weight to help with zero pressure.
Merkur 23c- as so many have stated over and over, and I completely agree that the 34c is a great razor to begin with and could be a daily driver for many I figure the longer handle might be great for a ladies needs.
EJ de89/Muhle r89 - mild and user friendly.
Gamechanger .68 sb - A great razor that is mild and efficient, a great weight to it, the head is nice and slim, again great knurling.
So gentlemen if you have any input particularly from a shared experience I'd love to hear it. Ladies, any insight from personal experience would be immensely appreciated.
I have found a good article for her to read. I'll advise wtg single pass to start with. Maybe to go with canned foam, gel, or butter? She just uses regular bar soap atg. I don't think I can get her enthusiastic about a brush.
