Gift to beginner -- which DE razor?
For the past year I have shaved with straights, but for the previous 20 years with DEs. My sons, 20 and 23 use electrics but have expressed an interest in going DE. I plan to give them soap/cream, brush, DEs and blades this Xmas. Ideas? I have a merkur slant and mergress; and previously used a futur, but thought that a closed comb 38c might be a good choice for a first razor. I'd appreciated all suggestions. Thanks

Gift to Beginner — Which DE Razor?
My dear Jim,
I recommend the Edwin Jagger 89L. This is a fabulous razor in every way, from workmanship to shaving. Its counterpart, and slightly more expensive, is the Muhle Pinsel 89L. Both are beautiful and great shavers.
Regards,
Obie
