    Default Onother one to the fold

    I gave my stepson a pair of razors Sellers 3/4 wedge & Monde NOS hollow 5/8 Plus a strop & Focus shavette a couple of days ago.
    He called round today for His first straight shave.
    We sat down & looked at lynns DVD as this explains everything a newbie could want.Then Ishowed him how to strop his Razors&guided him through His first Shave.
    Ifinished him off with the shavette as this was easier for me as it was my first time to shave somone else.
    His grandfather was a barber in Scotland & his father has one of his razors
    When Paul is up to speed he's going to ask his Father for the razor so he can continue using it.
    He has my copy of Lynns DVD to guide Him & the rest is just careful practice.
    Ill post his progress as he continues.Paul

    I wish him much success, and to you sir, THANK YOU. In this way we will keep ST8 shaving alive, and meaningful, and I believe you have "paid it forward".
