The best a (wo)man can get!

"Remind me to pick up some new blades when we go to town."
"For the triple-headed beastrazor?"
"That's the one."
"What do those things cost? Four bucks for three cartridges?"
"$5 for 4 if I get them at Walmart."
"You know, these blades cost about 15 cents apiece."
"Yeah, but that razor scares me."
"Why don't you try it? This one has about 6 shaves on it, so it won't be scary sharp."
"Is that your british razor?"
"Yeah, it's got a short handle, but it's smooth."
"Okay, how do I do this?"
"Well, you start by finding the grain— like so..."
"Hmmm... with my other razor, I just went up and down like this—"
"Yeah, but with this one, you use really light pressure— here, hold it like this and let the weight of the razor do all the work. See? Now, if you'll notice, the grain goes this way here, so just follow that."
"Oh wow, that's smooth, but do they make a razor with a longer handle?"
"Yeah, Gillette made a lady shaver that has a long handle... in fact, Jim has an extra one. He picked up a blue one for a song, and then got the more sought-after pink handle a few days later."
"Would he sell it?"
"I dunno— hang on..."
boop-beep-boop-beep-beep-bip-boop
"Hey Jim, wanna sell a razor? The blue handle. Sure, I'll be in town later. How much? Deal! I'll throw in a puck of Uncle Albert's Amazing, too."
"We'll have you set up on the morrow, m'lady."
Fast forward to the next day.
"I can't believe it, I'm actually looking forward to shaving!"
"You don't say?"
"You're going to write about this on the Badger and Blade and your blog aren't you?"

I showed this to my girlfriend and she said "Wow, she's an easy sale" (no offense intended).

My girl hates shaving in general, and I'm trying to guide her gently towards a DE, but it's slow going.

What these 2 conversations don't show, however, is the months upon months of, "Really, you should try using a DE" that preceded.

I tried to get my mom and sister to try this when I was visiting for SB and they didnt want any part of that. Maybe my gf will have a different opinion when I see her next. It would seem that legs would be a sure thing for a DE because they are relatively flat and smooth.

What do I know? Men don't understand women anyway, including me. :confused::confused:

You're quite perceptive. Don't forget the months of "Oooh! Look at what I got in the mail today!" "Oh great, more shaving stuff"

You guys might not believe this, but she's actually excited about the 100 pack of derby extras we ordered online. I think she's more anxious for them to arrive than I am. She just didn't understand why I would want to buy other blades than the ones I could pick up at walmart until she tried a derby herself. Thanks Jim!
