Thread: My son his first time

This weekend i rehoned a razor and need a test shave, but i already shaved.
So i ask in the family who wants a shave. I got 2 reactions on that question First my daughter called my legs should be done. And second surprisingly my son said he want to.
I did both but only have pics from the shave of my son. his attention has been drawn, and it was a super close shave.
Test shave was ok

A good thing, passing it down, keeping the art alive.

That is AWESOME!

I too was surprised that my son took an interest.
It is nice to know that it will be carried on.

I have 6 razors and am wanting to slim down my collection, but can't because I don't know which ones I'd want to pass down to my future son(s)!

Thanks for sharing kalerolf. Cheers

Ahh, I remember my first shave. My dad took me aside, cracked out a bic disposable and a can of Gillette something-or-other, placed the bic in my hand and uttered these sage words: "Off you go. Use bits of toilet paper if you cut yourself".

I think both your son and daughter are very lucky to be introduced to shaving with straight razors. Congratulations!

James.

Your dad & mine, must have known each other.

Hehe, no lessons for me either. Dad must have figured that if I was too dim to figure it out myself then I deserved to have a beard.

My boys are too young to shave but when they are they both get one of their great-great grandfathers blades. I would like to think they would be proud to know their great great grandsons are connected to them in some way.

Great memories Kalerolf! That's what it's all about.

I remember watching him shave a few times; once I said, " I can't wait till I get to shave, too. "
He stopped & looked at me with a smirk, replied, "Wait until you've done it everyday for 6 months, then come back & tell me how you like it."
