Thread: Looking for razor for my boyfriend

Also I don't know where your at but there maybe someone close that can give you a hands on look and greqat advice. There are a lot more of us out there than you would think .

I have to second what 10Pups has said.
And he speaks the truth,
Larry at whippedog is good bet and will take the time to communicate with you.
10Pups also hit on that you may be close to someone which is a great point,
you could also PM a senior member, moderator, or mentor here and have many questions answered via a phone call.
There is a bit more to this sport than one may realize and I will say good for you for doing a bit of leg work first.

Regards
Pat

I am just going to second Pat/ third 10 pups.
I would not get either of those based on all the threads about packages that sound suspiciously like those ones.

Yes ok, I didn't want to say I heard they are rubbish in case I got sued.

Classic edge has got some nice holiday packages:
Holiday Straight Razor Starter Set!

While a straight may sound nice or cool to him he may be better served with a nice Double Edge razor a brush and some good cream or soap. there is a fair bit of work needed to get into straight shaving that may not fit the university lifestyle.
a proper DE shave is very nice and once he has that down and has spent some time reading up on straights himself he will be able to add a strop and straight razor (or perhaps just a shavette) to his arsenal.

selecting a straight razor for somebody can be a challenge if you are not a user and no matter how well you do if he does not take the time to learn to strop and care for the razor it can be ruined in a very short period of time. if he decides he does not like the DE you can easily repurpose that to shave your legs; they will like it.

enjoy,
