Thread: I'm A Bad Influence.

Looking pretty sweet, the big question is where is the styptic?

To the left of the equipment is a medicine cabinet, where the styptic, DE blades(Sharks) & the cup that his brush soaks in are located.

Sweet! I wish my father had taken the time to teach me the proper way to shave. Even if he doesn't stick with it, the father/son time is invaluable. I look forward to the same day with son...only about 13 years or so down the road. Cheers John.

My father spent 5 minutes with me,,, handed me a Bic disposable, Barbasol & told me to put a piece of toilet paper on the cut when it bleeds.

Fantastic set-up for a young chap
You do realise he'll need his own shave den

A much nicer setup than my Dad gave me or I gave to my son.

IIRC, my first shave was with my Mom's Gillette Adjustable.

John
Your son is very lucky to have such a knowledgeable father.
