Thread: A completely dull/rounded edge straight razor for my son?

Think you for the help, I'm going to order a Sweeny Tod replica today . I have a machine shop at my work. I'll have the guys round it, smooth it. He'll be excited just to be included now that my area has no traditional barber shops that he can get the experience that many of us enjoyed , waiting on your service, talking with other men & their sons. The closest we have is also a salon.

Do post a pic of you two when you're shaving together

But dremels are more fun to play with than bricks...

I got my 4 yr. old son a WECK disposable sans the blade, sometimes he'll shave with me other times he's sitting at the table polishing his razor up while I do mine. He has a vintage Gillette DE too....hopefully creating some good memories!

Member Luis started a thread awhile back about a razor made for his son,I actually made him a small badger brush.
I have some very small knots, would be happy to make a brush for your son for the cost of shipping,let me know.

Here's what I did for my grandson:

Whilst i do think it's a great idea to encourage the mockery, and I'm not really a safety ninny _at all_, I do have some reservations about this and the super young.

If i were going to do it, I'd put a lock on the real razors until kiddo was near enough to sprouting hairs to understand pain and danger.

Does this make me a chick?

That would be a very large & heavy razor for a 2 year old. Not the best choice IMO.

I would suggest a heavily bread knifed 4/8" to suit the small hands
Or look at making mini blade using all horn or acrylic
