What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving

After many years of coaxing and cajoling I finally convinced Mrs. Mantic59 to try a double edge (DE) razor. But since her eyesight and coordination leave a little to be desired when it comes to shaving she said she wanted a large, heavyweight razor for easier grip and use.

I approached the request from a research perspective and did some search engine queries. One of the first things I found was the Hanni razor.

From the pictures on the site it sure looked like a “regular” double edge razor. And that last comment from the webpage, “only hanni’s proprietary Swedish stainless steel blades are compatible with the hanni weighted razor,” seemed kind of crazy to me: surely…surely…this used regular DE blades.

So in the spirit of research for my wife I busted out the Sharpologist corporate credit card and bought a Hanni razor and set of blades (even though, surely, I wouldn’t need them).
