I purchased a very nice Lady Gillette blue a few weeks ago for SWMBO. Really wanted her to stop using the disposable M3s -- a few uses then straight to the landfill. What a waste!
It took her a little while, she thinks the razor interest is a little weird, especially since I have been using straights for a year on the premise that it would save me money in the long run (She doesn't know how LONG the run will be ha ha ha ha), and then the DEs started showing up...
"Oh, those? It's for travel and when I'm running late in the morning, honey."
"You bought three!?"
"Well, they're like cheap, not like straights... and they're old! I'm just trying to figure out which ones I like. It's not a lot of money..."
She did admit the Lady Gillette is a pretty little razor. But still she persisted in using the disposable. So I removed them from the bathroom, making the Gillette the only one available. I had loaded a nice red pack Personna in there. The first time she was in a hurry and miffed about the switch. She complained a little after, but I think she was just nervous about using it.
Yesterday in the shower she called out to ask, "Where's my razor?"
"You mean the vintage one," I asked?
"Yeah."
So I got it for her and she went on to shave like it was a usual thing. Unbelievably, she even took the razor out of the shower, rinsed it and put it on the counter.
She likes it.
Victory...
