Now this is a man's Place!

Hello Gents! My 32 Yr old son wanted to have me join him in wet shaving with a straight razor. Done it with cartridge and DEs for many years and still have my original Gillette Adjustable in the case! Found a couple of nice straights on eBay and picked them up, one for each of us! Love all the fun accessories, aromas and improved facial condition sine I am more aware of taking care of my skin. Several slices have reminded me to relax, put on peaceful music and enjoy the ride. Meeting my son Sunday for our first shave together. What a learning process! Hope to gain more with you guys as e-mentors on this journey.

Welcome to SRP, Pogey Bait.

Sounds like the beginning of a fun trip. :)

Would be awesome to share this with my boys but they are to a bit young and not keen to handle a single edges razor against here faces lol
Hope you both enjoy

Sounds like an awesome weekend hopefully he throws on a roast to complete the Sunday :D

Hi and welcome. Any questions feel free to ask. Good luck with your shaves.

Welcome to SRP!

Relaxing and enjoying the ride is exactly the best way to approach all this.

Thanks for the welcome and encouragement guys. Had a great time with my son shaving together for the first time this morningAttachment 160113. He even gave me an upgraded shaving brush! (Of course, it cost me a strop!!!) Lol! We managed to get through the event with minimal bloodletting and made an incredible memory for both of us! Hope the attached picture makes sense!

That is a wonderful picture. It makes me one very jealous father......

I'd just like to point out in the interest of Pluralism that it's also a great place for very hairy women :P

BTW: That's a super cool pic. I'll bet your son thinks so too :)

Cool pic, interesting grip your son is using...
