Gday all,
i am looking to get my youngest (17 year old) a DE for Christmas to help clean up his patches of peach fuzz
he currently uses a disposable jobby about every 2nd week or so,
he really likes my str8s but isn't keen to scrape a sharp piece of unprotected steel on his face,
but I have him turning to wet shaving more & using my brush and a weak lathering soap I got to try but just doesn't lather thick enough for the str8, buts hold up ok for the multi-heads without clagging it up to quick.

So back on track I am asking the experienced DE users out there, what would be the recomended 1st DE for a fresh young face, I am prefering vintage but I will go new if it is the better option
I am thinking a fixed DE, or should I go the route of an adjustable? would this be better so that it will not be agressive?

If I can keep him on the right track I think he will come across to the straights eventually but not for a while.

I do have a Gillette #58 Made in England DE I inherited from my Grandfather but I am not sure if this is a good beginners razor or not,
I would like him to have it eventually, if he keeps the full wet shaving up, otherwise it will go the first grandchild to show the most interest I think.


PS. I have given up all hope for my 20 year old as he is dedicated electric shaver & unfortunatley I can't see him coming across anytime in the foreseable future for any wet shaving set up. LOL
