I went to a friend of mine yesterday, he showed a bit of interest in the old school shaving experience and even asked if I would give him a shave. Since I started only recently, I told him I needed a bit more practice.
Yesterday I had my Merkur DE with me and told him that once my shaves with a straight go well and I don't need the DE anymore, if he wants, he can have the DE. He was shocked when I told him the cost of the blades, he shaves with one of the gillette cartridge razors. He also asked me if he could see the Dovo straight razor.
He needed to shave and I told him, if he wanted he could use the DE, but that was to soon for him, he didn't dare it yet and wanted to do some research first.
However, I did make him some lather, I had my proraso with me. He was speechless after the shave, he didn't expect a big difference but had a very smooth shave. He was converted right after the shave, is interested in using the DE and even wants to go for a SR.
I gave him directions to the forum, whippeddog and a few online shaving courses.
One down, so many more to go :rock:
