Want to buy a safety razor for my father
My old man is coming to visit me in a few weeks and I'd like to get him a safety razor with a hefty supply of blades.
He obviously remembers them from watching his own father use them, but if he did ever even use one himself it would have been ages ago. I mentioned it to him on the phone and his only answer was an unenthusiastic "but those things are so old" and, "I love the disposables, they are so convenient." However, if I take him into AOS I know for sure that he'll get very interested. He also tends to like things a lot more if they're made in Germany.
Has anyone here ever gotten a safety or even a straight razor for someone who was not already a user or aspiring user?
