Cool experience with my Dad

So my dad was visiting the other week and I had to show him the collection. He stated that he had got one of the double edge safety razors from on of the commercials on TV. He said it was AWFUL. So I let him use mine. I actually showed him how to shave with a double edge razor. He used one growing up but had forgot how to use it. With him it was a pressure issue. I sent him home with a boar brush with holder, a 10 pack of feather DE blades, some pre-shave, a bowl and a bunch of samples. Then he called and stated his razor was too light so I got him a Parker 99r extra heavy duty. How the world turns... Now he is shaving with that. Cool experience and I will be getting him some T/H Trafalgar soon.

Teach a man to fish....;-)

I did the same thing with my dad. Got him a gillette super speed with a time stamp around the time he was born. He's been liking it, but I think I need to teach him how to get a good lather going.

Sons teaching their dads how to shave? That's a great memory to have. :)

He called me yesterday and had a bad experience. The muscle memory isn't there yet. He still digging.

It's kinda awkward. "I know you did this 40 years ago, but I kinda know better...."
