NotTheStig said:I did a thread on this a while back. In my experience not very sharp but quite good if you shave everyday and stubble isn't too coarse. My girlfriend likes them!
It took a while, despite the potential cost savings (if you're not an enthusiast!) as I had to overcome the "aren't they dangerous?" and "disposables are quicker" arguments. In the end I let her get on with it but kept showing her the old razors I have. She started to appreciate the appearance of them, so I did a Gillette marketing tactic: gave her a free razor with some blades! Did the trick. She has an open comb 1940s New and uses these and my other mild blades (Zorrik, Laser Platinum). They don't really work for me so suits me fine!Dandy Highwayman said:I'm very impressed that you have got your girlfriend using DEs -my wife and daughter spend a fortune on disposable Ladies razors.
