Thread: My son, the graduate (high school)

My son turned 18 on June 1st, and graduated June 6th (the class of the devil, 6/6/6!). Here's his pic with some of his graduation presents:


The box on the left contains a C&E best badger brush, Proraso Shaving Soap, Arko Shaving Sticks, C&E Almond and Charles Tyrwhitt Lemon & Cedar.

My son, now a man.

Nenad,

We are making progress. He was using an electric when I moved him to the DE!

Guys, thanks for the nice comments.

Hey, I moved to a straight straight from electric. So it's doable However I am going to try out my combination gift (DE from Tony, blades from Ed, once again thank you gentlemen) sometime soon. Don't expect me to make a permanent change though.. I like straights way too much

Randy,
Congratulations. You must be proud. He is a fine looking man and I wish him well.

We are off to my daughters high school graduation today. She turned 18 yesterday and in just a few months has gone from a little girl to a woman. She is off to McDaniel College in the fall.


Best wishes to you and your son,
Tony

Congratulations all. I get choked up sometimes just thinking about my kids' graduations...and they're only 5 and 7! I blinked...they were just babies a second ago. Anyway, congratulations!

A couple of tips for Randy's son:
1) Your dad has plenty of straights. Follow his rotation and he's less likely to notice that a razor he recently shaved with disappeared.
2) If one of his strops mysteriously ends up in your dorm room, I'm sure Tony won't charge him an arm and a leg for another one...
3) Never say no to free food.
4) Having an on-campus girlfriend makes your room neater, food taste better and your clothes cleaner, in addition to other benefits.
5) If you won't be driving, make friends with people who drive cars. Campus stores usually charge an arm and a leg for inferior products. Don't go with people who drive like me. People were scared of getting into my old Jetta.
6) Meal plans are crappy and expensive. It's cheaper and better to hit BK or order a pizza. Most local pizza places will have student specials. If you're good at shooting pool, you'll never have to pay for it.
7) If you're taking artsy courses, sometimes you'll be able to get equivalents to your texts in regular bookstores for half the price of what the editions they're ripping you off with in the campus bookstore. No matter what your prof says, the 26th edition of the text will be as good in material coverage as the 29th edition.
8) Have a blast

RT,

Congratulations to both you and your
son. Best regards to both of you.

Firestart,

That was some very good advice. You might add that if you have an oncampus girl friend you can save on housing - live with her and let her dad pay.

Randy,

Congratulations.. Fine looking young man with a great future ahead of him. Well done pop.
