Are you sure you want to do this? I love to share but some guys are very protective of their den/gear. If you are willing to share everything 100% then do it. The reason I ask is, I shaved a little portion of a troublesome area (no not there) and lost that razor for good. I have been told to not touch it any longer unless working on the edge. The proraso also came up missing. She has since shaved me with a DE, WOW that was nice!!! She asked me "why in the *?$# does anyone shave with a mach 3 thingy when these exist?" She then became angry our generation was not introduced to these (straights and DE). SHE IS NOW ONE OF US!!! I urge you to help her see the light but beware of the financial impact. Just shave on troublesome area for her and be sure to "do it right, prep work". Make it pleasurable and you will achieve your goal.

I say there is more fun and sensuallity in learning together. My husband has been shaving with a straight razor for a while. I just started learning. We bought some razors and Glen, one of the craftsman here, vintage restored them. He removed the old scales and he made new scales, plus cleaned and polished the razor itself. Not to mention, "he honed them to shave ready". While we waited for our new "toys" We bought some of Mama Bear's soaps and shaving gear and also Em's. So it has been fun. When we recieved our straight razors we were so excited we both shaved with our new straight razors that day.
What ever you decide have fun with it and welcome
