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!!
Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.

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.

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.

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.I am very appreciative of all the knowledge and sharing each and everyone has provided me with. Look forward to future endeavors with many of you.

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 Originally Posted by cudarunner

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.walleyeman likes this.
