What's a good set up for a lady?

[Rancor16]

So, i jokingly said that I would get my girlfriend her very own safety razor and she loved the idea I'm thinking of getting her a long handled lady gillette. As far as the brush and soap/cream however, I have no idea. Any suggestions? I don't know of any good feminine smelling products in this area haha.

What's a good setup for a lady?

I would say a rich husband, a penthouse, a poodle and a big shopping allowance. Of course there would be a walk in shoe closet and lots of jewelry. . .

That aside my wife likes my "Black Beauty" Long handle adjustable. It seems that shaving legs works well with a longer handle for the reach. I started her out at 1 and bumped it up until she was happy with the shave at 3. So far she is still a girly canned gel girl. I can't tell you much more than that because women scare me when they shave and I stay out of the bathroom. She goes at it like she is fighting fire and chopping wood. Sheeesh!

best,

Maybe some VDH soap, and cheap Omega boar brush.

My wife is using a lady gillette, my omega pro 49, and tobs rose cream. She really likes shaving now.

Mama bear has some female scented soaps that im going to pick up for my wife after the rose is gone.

My wife uses a Lady Gillette and Kiss My Face vanilla shave cream. She is not really into the time it takes to lather with a brush, and the cream works fine with a quick hand lather on the legs. She has never had so much as a nick! She uses Gillette 7o'clock blades.

Don't forget about the possibility of a Gillette Knack or a Schick Krona.

Trumpers Rose is great.

I'd say the Lavender or Rose from TOBS might be a good place to start. Even better, get her an assortment of samples and let her pick one.

My wife uses the long handle and has taken over my most expensive super badger Shavemac since it's a 26 knot so it's easier lather. As for the software, any soap should do. Since women legs aren't as sensitive as a face they can get away with pretty much anything. She currently uses Prairie Creations Cinderella Scent. I love the smell and she likes the results.

Also tell your girlfriend to splash on some Aqua Velva after an evening bath after a long day. My wife says it rejuvenates her legs and gets them tingly.

Thanks for the advice guys! I think I'm going to with a nice boar brush and GFT Rose soap... that or TOBS rose cream, can't decide lol

I suggest a really nice boyfriend to shave her legs after he sets up a nice relaxing bath for her

For Razors you could also try a Lady's Schick Injector with the Hydro Magic feature. Not as much choice with the blades, but an easier learning curve if she's used to cartridges.

how a bout a Merkur?

 

[StylinLA]

AOS has a rose scented cream aimed at women. I think they might also have some lady style brush as well.

I get to shave my wife's legs a couple times a week! In fact since she's gone DE I don't think she has had a chance to shave solo. As soon as I hear that bath water, I rush to help with at least a few passes. I dare say it's even more enjoyable than shaving my face!

Brush- floppiest, softest badger you can afford!

Cream- SWMBO used a QED coconut sample cream and adored it. Something along those lines would work for her, I believe.

I still have not been able to convince SWMBO to give up the Fusion. I did however, get some of the Lady Cremo Cream from Alice.com with the two dollar off coupon, and she loved it.

My fiance is using my Rooney 1/1 in Super (which I am gifting her now that I have my Ehsan) and a Gem Featherweight. I tried to introduce her to a DE and she hated it, but had much better luck with a SE. She is also crazy about TSDs Mojito scent for what that's worth.

Have you considered something like this? My wife is thinking about getting that brush.

My GF really likes the Trader Joe's brushless shaving cream. Since I got her that and a tech the disposables and goop have just been gathering dust.
