Hi,
I just got a really nice near mint Blue star Ladies Gillette for my wife, Thanks Martin!!
What blades work well in these that are not too sharp or aggressive? I don't have a huge selection....
I have:
Feathers
Crystals
Israelis
Sharps
Derby's
and some others that I only have a few of each.....
Thanks :)

Hi Neale,
You know, I didn't even think to ask if you needed blades. For some reason I figured you had a good supply and assortment.
If I HAD sent some blades without knowing what you already have, The Crystals and Israelis would have been the ones I'd have included. Nice and mild, and still perform well. I haven't tried the Sharps JoAnna recommends, but I'd imagine she knows those blades well.
I look forward to you posting your future antics...I mean experiments, in the wacky world of women's shaving. You and Mrs Neale can be the Pierre and Marie Curie of that niche..........heh.

Hehe,
Thanks guys......this is really going to take a lot of encouraging of her on my part.....she does like the brush and creams I have gotten for her so far....but doesn't always take the time to use them :(
I try starting her with a Sharp blade..I think I have about 20 of them..hopefully all will go well :)
Thanks :happy088

I gotta have a brush like that!:eek:
Where oh where, pray tell did you find it?
Oh yeah, my wife has crystals in hers and she did not complain. I do not have huge assortment, but the crystals did not work for me so I asked her to try them.
I just got 100 Personna reds so I hope she like those.
