I would imagine using water would be a step up. A difference in razor, shaving dry, will matter little to nothing. Sounds like this guy should have been given an electric, not a straight!:(

:) Yeah, I sent him to the wiki tutorial, he knows he is going to have to work on his prep method. Living in China I have a lot of Asian friends, and they don't get quite the beard coverage most of us Westerners get. A lot of them are used to just using an electric or dry shaving the little bit of whiskers they have. They think I am crazy when I talk about straight shaving. Anyway, he loved the gift and has been playing with it non-stop. Hopefully this will get him interested in giving himself a proper shave.
