Gifting a Razor to my Brother

So, I have a brother in the military that I've decided to gift a Gold Dollar razor to. I got it from a SRP member here, and I honed it and test shaved with it this morning. To be honest, it was really smooth (almost made me rethink my decision to give it to him). I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm going to give him a strop, Semogue 1305 brush, and some soaps... I have no idea if he will take to the idea of straight razors or not, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Have any of you had any luck converting guys like this? Also, I'm going to tell him that I want it back if he doesn't want it :rofl2:

I've yet to convert anyone to straights that wasn't already interested it in, but he may me interested without you knowing. I've given away a few DE's and SE's, but I don't think they're getting any use. If you can give your a brother a good "intro to lathering," he may at least use a decent lather with whatever it is he calls a "razor." ;-p
