Razor for wife

My wife tried my Mergress the other day and loved it. She thought that the handle was a little on the short side. What are some of the longer handle DE razors? I know of the Progress XL and the Futur, and between those I would probably get her the Progress XL and send it off to Mer for him to add his knob. Are there any others I should look at?
 
Jack:

If she is not in the only a new razor will work camp, many ladies seem to really like the long handled Lady Gillette razors. They are mild like the superspeeds but the long handle seems to work well for their needs.

Good luck and I hope you both enjoy your shaves.

A Long Handle Super Adjustable is just the thing. She can customize it to one of 9 different settings depending on her shave style and her choice of blade. The long handle is a plus for leg shaving. If she doesn't love it, you will.

A Lady Gillette would be another good choice, though it isn't adjustable.
 
I got my wife a Merkur 23 C i think its called. Long handle classic. nice and light with a bit longer handle. works well for her.
 
Another option in vintage would be a Schick Krona. You'll pay less for one of those than a Lady Gillette. I'd have second thoughts about getting her a Futur. Those seem to be pretty aggressive on all but the lowest settings.
 
I got mine the lady Gillette which she loves, I can ALSO recommend the slim and if you can find one a Knack..also too, a Krona

When I saw the title of this thread, given the love for razors here, I thought that it might be someone seeking a trade! :biggrin1:
 
It depends. If she loves you and waits on you hand and foot then a Lady Gillette would be appropriate. If she is always mad at you, a Psycho Gillette in which you have the key may be more appropriate.:biggrin1:
 
If she doesn't want a used razor, the Parker 29L is a lady gillette copy that from what I've seen has good reviews. Best price I've seen is under $30 shipped.
