I am actually trying to teach the old dog new tricks. He has been shaving once or twice a week because it has not been very pleasant experience for him for lack of better words. I am hoping to show him how much fun, and how much more comfortable shaving can be.
Personally, up until turning 30, I mainly used water and a double blades razor because I did not have much hair to shave. I have tried a Gillette cream and a boar brush, but did not keep up with it because I did not know the "right" way of doing it, and gave up. The shaving foam was not much more comfortable than water for me. From 30 and on, I started to get way more facial hair. Because shaving became a bit painful at that time, I started to delay shaving. Since I became serious with wet shaving, I cannot seem to grow enough hair quick enough to shave. I hope I can help "open" my dad's eyes.
