Grandson's First Straight Razor/Christmas Present

As a Firm Believer in that the sooner a person is introduced to something the better the chances are that they will keep at it I"m giving my youngest grandson a straight razor for Christmas!

I modified it to help insure that there wasn’t any chance of him getting ‘Bit’ I also polished up the blade a bit!

After Christmas I hope to post a picture of the two of us shaving/well at least with lather on our faces and the razors in place!!!

Perhaps he will become the Youngest Member of SRP Yet!!

I must give Luis credit for getting me thinking about doing this!


Enjoy!!

I like your theory with the younger the better, hope to see a photo of you both bonding

Hey cudarunner

She looks sweet. I am looking forward to those pictures. You will enjoy the quality time with your grandson immensely. I think he will love it. Great job.

Luis

Thanks Luis!

I'm very old fashioned and I believe in giving credit where credit is due!!

Thanks for the inspiration!! :bow

Thanks, I have to admit without Oz (razor) and Bill (brush) I would not have been able to do it. The credit should got our shaving community. I follow your threads and I must say you are a very classy dude. I take your kind words as a big honor.

The Kind Words came very easily!

I know that my Mate OZ did the work on your razor I didn't know about 'Bill' and the brush!:shrug:

I am hopeful that my Grandson will enjoy his first straight razor!!

Luis;

I thank you for your very kind words about me being a 'very classy dude' I do try to be of help especially with those that are new!! However I prefer to call myself just a Simple Redneck Country Boy!!!

It's late on the East Coast! I hope you are settling down for a good nights sleep!

Great idea and jealous of how great that razor looks. I will have a razor that looks that sharp eventually. Have a great holiday season and enjoy the great moments the two of you will have.

You have seen the razor Oz made my son. Here is a picture of the brush Bill did for Blake. He loves his razor and brush.

Very nice! I'm sad that my grandad didn't think I would be interested when I started shaving at 14. Either that or he thought me and a straight together at that age was bad news :)

Sad thing is is that my dad doesn't use them. He uses a DE but not the straights, try to convince him though I have.

I hope you grandson enjoys the straight and keeps it up.

Great job Roy. I have been involved with a coworkers young son on this very thing!
Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside,yes??

Nice Luis, Very Nice!!

If my grandson likes his 'straight' as much as your son likes his, I'll have to get him a small brush for his birthday along with the usual stack of $1.00 bills!! (He thinks he's a Millionaire)!

Here's his razor next to a 6/8 Genco that was recently given to me :tu This what it looked like before I reworked it.

I bought it for $5 delivered from China. It was advertised as 'a straight razor knife'. I figured for that amount of money including shipping I could afford to see what happened.

It should fit nicely in his 5 year old hand! :shrug:

Very nice indeed. He's one lucky little lad.

Hi Roy

You are a cool grandfather, I wish we could get our razors for 5 dollars. It is ridiculous how expensive they have become. I plan to give my son a head start. He can my razors, I hope he likes Sheffield's because I am a fan.

Luis

Nice job ... for a nice start. ;)

Razors used to cost less than $5 but it was long ago!!! Here's a picture of a coffin case that held a razor sold here in my city! $2.50 Stamped/printed right there in plain site!

Man, that was a lot of money back then!

Damn! There I go again, :HJ Hijacking my own thread!!!

The good old days. By the way, I love the box. Very cool.

Luis

'Makes me smile. Cudarunner has a sense about these things that doesn't miss. You should see his gift of a monster Friodur to his son, followed by the most striking scale work I've seen by the honorable sixgunner.

Great, insider trading and now insider thread hijacking what next.....

Hey it is your thread
http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...t/king-033.gif

You can do as you see fit :p

And gentlemen I know I sound a bit short with him a time or two but he recently had some ear problems and his hearing is slowly getting back to 100%

Let's just say that I'm expanding it from 'ME' introducing 'MY' YOUNG ONE to 'EVERYONE's' YOUNG ONE! Luis showed HIS and you graciously showed YOURS so why not allow EVERYONE to share? :shrug:

I was 12 when this came out!
