Bruno, I totally understand where you are coming from on the confusion with "safe" and regular razors. With a house full of five kids safety is always a concern. Before I neutered it, the razor was locked in my gunsafe with all the firearms where all my razors will be kept (as much for the razors protection as for the kids). On that same note, I firmly believe that the best way to keep kids safe around things like farm equipment, firearms, tools and razors is to teach them to respect them, not fear them, and to eliminate the mystery surrounding them as that is usually the draw of the mystery that puts children in perilous situations with dangerous items.

The worst thing you can do with kids is hide/lockup something with the belief that it will keep them safe. That just makes them that much more curious and determined to get to it. While I would not leave something dangerous within arm reach of a youngster, I would not try to hide it either. Teach them to respect the item for what it is and even handle it if it can be done safely. Once the mystery is removed, they become much less interested in whatever it is. My 7 year old likes to watch me shave on occasion and hone the razor, or knife but he knows not to touch and what the consequences of his actions would be. They have to be taught to respect the danger of an object, respect others, obey authority figures and take responsibility for their action. That is why they call us parents, unfortunately far too few parents rule the children and far too many children rule the parents.

But back to the subject at hand, that is pretty cool idea. I will have to remember that when my son get closer to the shaving age.

now that might just be a reason to buy a zeepk, or 2 in my case. luckily i have a few years on this also.

That's pretty awesome. Just make sure they don't get the razors mixed up!

great idea im going to show my wife this when she gets home

That is F*cking awesome! Dad of the year award for you!

That is a great use for them!! That's fantastic that you and your son had such a great time together.

My girlfriend and I often talk about what it would be like if we had a son...would DEFINITELY get him into straights.

Dammit, now you all made me want a son!

Speaking of the Chat, do you just click on the "Chat" link up at the top of this page, between Webcast and User CP? Because I've done that the past couple of weeks, both in Explorer and Firefox, and it won't work.

What a great idea. Now the price of the Zeepks are going to skyrocket.

I'll have a chance to work on my straight technique before my son is old enough to shave. Though only two and a half, he uses my Mach III travel case to shave with. Its time spent with him and passing on manly knowledge.

I'll have to agree with cannonfodder about respecting and not fearing objects. If you introduce items (razors, weapons, etc) early, and teach proper respect for those items, the curiosity for the items will greatly decrease. There will be less of a chance of being hurt or worse from sneaking around with such items.

Enjoy the time spent, as well you might know, the time flies.

Looks like fun, wish my dad did that for me. I had to find out about shaving all by myself (started electric, then went to Quattro, now sometimes a DE just for the fun of it, straight's next).
You'll just have to tell him to go light on the pressure. He's pushing the blood out of his thumb while stropping, that can't be good.

And I think I'm NOT going to show this to my GF. She's seriously allergic to dirty fingernails.
