Getting my son started on the right track!!

[sharkbite111]

So my 14 year old son finally wanted to get rid of the 'dirt stache' he had going. He's been watching me clean and hone and shave with SRs for a little while now and actually likes a couple of the razors I own. Well, I tried offering one to him but he was afraid (lol) but he wanted to try a DE instead. So off to the medicine cabinet and I give him my old Gillette tech ball end (gold) from 1946-1952. I also gave up a shaving mug, a vulfix brush, an unopened C.O. Bigelow tube of shaving cream, a practically new bottle of witch hazel and the last 4 7 o'clock DE blades. I went through how the razor worked, put a blade in for him and gave him a quick demo. Then it was his turn....he was pretty apprehensive at first and struggled a little with LIGHT pressure, but after a WTG pass over his whole face, he was satisfied! His dirty upper lip was clean, no nicks/cuts, and a look of amazement as to how his face felt so different after his first shave. All in all, it was a lot of fun teaching him the basics and watching him try to figure out the different parts of his face. He enjoyed it, or so I'm guessing since he was rubbing his face for the rest of the day (like I do after a really nice shave ) I'm sure once he gets a few DE shaves under his belt, he'll be asking to try a SR!!
