Trimming the hedges wasn't even thought of back then. They were lucky if they got their legs shaved without tearing off half a layer of skin. lol
One of the first fights I had with my ex was when she used my razor to shave her legs because hers wasn't very good. I asked why she didn't just buy a man's razor since she was paying twice as much for something half as good. Long story short, I bought her one just like mine so she wouldn't be embarrassed by having to shop in the men's section.
@glennlab I bet she appreciated that. They just didn't make razors for women back then to actually work without ripping open half your leg.
