Check out Straight Razor Designs. They can set you up with everything he will need to get started not the least being a shave ready razor with a second honing included. If he stays with this style of shaving he can research additional razors that peak his interest (and there will be many). After looking at the website give them a call and they will answer all your questions and steer you right. Happy Hollidays.

I noticed the price of those razors dropping . Maybe an offer would be considered if you have your heart set on THAT razor. There are a lot of nice razors out there.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

A quick look at the classifieds here and you'll see a Colombi for $95, That I think would be a better starter for him and leaves budget for you to add a strop.
Keep your concentration high and your angles low!
Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.

Before I really knew what to look for when buying razors, I referenced the "Good brands of straight razors" and "Brands of straight razors to avoid" list before making any purchase. There are razors out there that are fantastic shavers but still not on the list (Hibbard Spencer and Bartlett for example) so the Army and Navy razor might shave great, I've never heard of the brand though so I don't know. Here are links to the Good and the Bad lists of straight razors if your interested.
