Thread: Razor For My 16 Yr. Old Son

While shopping with my son this weekend for some clothes for Homecoming (he's going with his girlfriend), we, at one point, talked about shaving, and for the first time he said he wants to give shaving with a straight a go. I, as expected, was beside myself, as he had heretofor said he had no interest in straight razor shaving. He does not have much to shave, yet, and he shaves once to twice a week, and then its only his mustache and chin, and his cheeks about once a month.

So, I picked up this razor today on ebay. I figure a 5/8 will be a good size for his young face, and the rounded toe will be friendly. I wil clean up this razor when it arrives with sandpaper, if need be, and some metal polish. I am in no hurry, so I am going to try to do it right. Then I am going to get is shave ready. I am so looking forward to this. Let me know what you think of the choice for his first razor!
