I got my son (23) interested in SR shaving. He needed some shaving cream the other day, and I told him I'd teach him how to make REAL shaving cream. Had him use my brush & shave soap (SRD lime scent). He liked that a lot.

Once the brush thing got him interested, I asked him if he'd want to try the straight. Had him do just the inch & 1/2 on his right side below the ear, with his right hand. Told him he had to learn this skill an inch at a time, and get the feel of how the blade meets the skin. No rushing on this skill. He's moving in a few months to an apartment that he'll split with some friends. I told him he'll be the only one among his roommates (and probably anyone they know) who shaves this way.

He liked it a lot. So I'm getting him a starter kit from Whipped Dog. If he doesn't like it after a while, no real harm.

It's good to be able to spend some time & bond with your son and pass on a skill ... even if I'm just learning it myself
