As far as DEs goes I like the Gillette Aristocrat. I think I still have it somewhere....
Also give him a sampler pack of blades. Different faces prefers different blades.

The first DE I used regularily was a Fatboy. If I'd had a choice,knowing what I know now, I might have chosen a Gillette Slim Adjustable for the slimmer head profile but the Fatboy certainly worked well for me. In fact any of the Gillette adjustables on the lower settings would work well for a beginner . The other possibility is of course the Tech. They are inexpensive, widely available and mild shavers.

+1 on the Tech, I'd also recommend a Superspeed or Rocket for a beginner. I hear very good things about the Jagger razors, but I only have vintage Gillettes so really can't comment.
