My wife loves the Lady Gillette line and has all of the colors champagne, pink, blue and silver blue. But her main favorite is the Gillette Knack. She has no problem shaving her lady parts just took a little practice and now she's an old pro.

Knack/Slim Twist are very underrated razors.

Meanwhile, here I am, a lady, telling my husband he can totally use my DE if he wants to try it and see if his ingrown neck hairs don't resolve... If he hasn't taken the plunge by Father's Day, he's getting a manly razor, soap, and brush kit.

I always loved the look of that razor. Pretty.

I bought one for me wife but she never used it. Now it’s my regular razor. I’m not sure I remembered it was for women. Hm.

this razor is thought of by many as having the most perfect geometry out of all the vintage heads. if she doesn't like it don't let it become a shelf queen, take it out and use it, you will be surprised

Those are terrific razors. Period.

Legs and ummm, “related areas” are supposedly pretty difficult to shave... I love your enthusiasm but I wonder if disposable razors maybe aren’t somewhat more user friendly shaving the lower half.

I've manscaped with my DE. It's scary having a razor blade there but I've never cut myself with it whereas I always nick myself with my electric trimmer. And doing the butt hair is surprisingly easy although I'm never doing that again.

I've made that mistake too, but only once! Lesson quickly learned.

I think maybe it's just about learning the correct angle of attack. Once you figure that out it's basically muscle memory.

I don't get this at all. There's a whole sub for women who use DEs. It's not hard at all to adjust from a disposable.

I am assuming u/Dr_Bishop means the private regions. Legs and underarms aren't that different but between the legs the razor can be harder to maneuver and get the right angle.

I was trying to find a polite way to say this, as I a person who shaves my male ornamentation would not feel super cool about doing it with a DE.

But since the poster above you stated this is a thing a believe them and wish those adventurous ladies Godspeed.
