    Default Which razor do you plan on giving to your son

    Hey everyone, I'm curious, what straight razor do you plan on passing down to your son or grandson? Time to show off with pictures and history

    I don't have any children so they are all mine.

    It'll have to go to a grandson, as I have three daughters. I'll pass them onto the grandson whose father I approve of the most, or the grandson who shows the most promise/interest. I might even be dead before they come along as I'm middle aged and my girls are still so very young.

    That's an easy question to answer.
    My only boy, 10 years old now, has told me numerous times about how he looks forward to inheriting ALL my straights
    I suspect he might not wanna hang on to all of them though, he seems very interested in their value....

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    My 10 year old boy has told me he's going to shave with a safety razor!

    My 6 year old son hasn't declared any allegiance yet.

    There's still time to figure it out, but they'll each get a razor from 2 different great (great) grandfathers (both Bengals).

    All the best,
    Michael

    I'd actually planned on passing a work horse to both my daughter and my three sons, then splitting the better blades, hones, strops etc between them. None of them has expressed interest, but I'm working on them.

    I have an 8yr old son who's overly interested in SR shaving. He has a bladeless 1912 GEM Junior that he helped me polish up. He likes whipping up some lather, smearing it on his face, then "shaving" it all off. He watched me shave this weekend with my Dovo Pearlex and got a little close. Took a chunk of my chin off with the distraction. (don't shave distracted).
    Back to the question though... My wife bought me a nice razor for Christmas and had my initials etched in the blade. My son has the same initials, so that'll definitely be handed down to him.

    My little boy will get all of my shaving gear. If he decides to learn to shave with them I will be ecstatic and look forward to teaching him. The one razor though that I hope he treasures is one that Glen restored for me last year, the razor belonged to my son's great great grandfather. I have shaved with it twice and now it is oiled and stored waiting for my little boy to grow up.
    Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???
