A few thoughts.
Vintage steel might not be the best choice. To most, vintage shaving equipment, no matter the quality is as welcome as a vintage toothbrush.
I've gifted lots of shaving equipment, and have seen some of it unintentionally get destroyed by poor handling. Advice is not always taken.
If a newer razor is destroyed by mishandling, you can rest assured that more are being made daily. That's not the case with vintage equipment.
Anyway, my two coins.

One last update. Clem shaved with it and he said that it is sharper and shaves better than his dovo. Considering I put the edge on this one I feel d@mn proud. He loves it and it definitely found a good home. I just am not a hollow kinda guy but he loves them.

I think that there's nothing a person can do to encourage someone to SR shave than to make sure from the start that a friend has the right tool for the job. I gave my brother a straight last year for Christmas an Osgood Bray...it was a very nice shave ready razor, the type anyone would love to own. But my brother could've cared less I think. All you can do is try....
