Gillette With Blue Stars

So I just picked up one of these in near mint condition for $12. And have finally done research as it is a girls razor... should I keep it or would someone on here like it more than I? I don't want much more, just a bit plus shipping. Or should I keep it, what are your stories with the handle? I am a man, but I wouldn't mind a close shave with a women's touch... hahaha

I have the manly pink colour

the head is the same as a superspeed, longer handle for the needs of the ladies, i use mine, it gives a nice shave, and adds a touch of colour to the bathroom when its being used, try it, you will have a good close shave with it.

It was made to shave, so put it to work! You may find that you like it, but there's only one way to find out. Give it a spin and see how it works for you. Plenty of gents have those "lady razors" and I doubt most people outside of this forum will know the difference, anyway. Heck, Marlboro Light cigarettes were originally marketed to women with the line, "Mild as May". We all know how that turned out!

They are a very mild shaver. Multiple passes required.

What they said...the head is a superspeed head with a longer handle. Many people buy Merkur barber pole razors specifically for this reason. Use that daddy-o (or lady-o in this case).

If you decided to sell it you would no trouble at least doubling your money.

You have to use it at least a few time, you might fall in love with it. They are great shavers! Just the Super Speed head on a longer handle (as already stated) My wife has the champagne and both blues (still need to find a pink!) I grab one every once in a while. Nothing wrong with it IMO.

Thanks, sorry about the delay had some business. I do like mild razors I seem to break out a lot. So this may be good haven't tried yet. I think I'll try it with a Shark or Derby blade they seem to be my cheap go too's. I wouldn't mind doubling my money since I seem to be gathering a collection. In TX people sell Safety's cheap for some reason. Thanks all for your response, I'll try to update... tomorrow or the next day on how the shave went.
