Thread: My first Honing

How proud am I gents? Not only am I proud that my son's first honing was able to give me a DFS, but I'm also proud that he's learned to put others first. See, this is a razor that we'd bought to be HIS first razor. Although it's a vintage that has given someone else years of service, I'd planned on letting him take her on her "maiden voyage" when he shaves for the first time. But he asked me to shave with it first. I wouldn't trade anything for the smile on his face when he walked in the shave den Monday morning and saw I was shaving with his razor that HE had honed.

I'm a lucky man, gents!

Indeed you are a lucky man.

As a Dad myself I know exactly how you feel. It's a great feeling to guide a youngster and have them take the reins their self and run with it. And who knows what interests and various paths just this one accomplishment with their own hands can lead them to.

Congratulations and I commend you for spending quality time with your son.

i myself am a new honer, i be using disposables for years now, i have a few Straights and got my stones, I gave my son one-, right now i am working on a better progressive system we will see how it works, i think it will fair well------ this is fun at all ages, i am hoping to pass it on to my son

That is really cool!

i wonder...is this the first father/son duo on SRP?

Hmm....possibly. Don't think so, though. Seems more often though the son joins first and gets the dad back into what they once did.

No, Joed & his son, among others
