    Default Idea's needed

    my dad taught me to shave on williams soap and a cheap wal mart brush. I have since moved on to silvertip brush and several different soaps and creams. So far I have sent to him a golden knot brush that I made, Tabac, and SRD's soaps. So what should I send to him next? He thinks I'm nuts for shaving with a straight so the razore is out,.....what do I send next?????

    A nice DE is indeed good, but if not that, you could spoil him with Castle Forbes cream. Awesome stuff!

    Pre-shave oils. Balms. Or some skin food might be nice.

    Hello, Errnest:

    Here is a suggestion:

    Send him a puck of Mitchell's Wool Fat shave soap, an Edwin Jagger 89L double edge razor, and a scuttle — for me, a large Moss scuttle — all packaged in a son's unbound love for the greatest father in the world.

    Regards,

    Obie

    For sure a DE, or a GTP G5 Scuttle... Or you can go for some big name cream/soap (Castle Forbes in cream, and Fitjar in soap, IMO).

    Maybe quality cologne or aftershave? (Get him a JUMBO bottle of Ogallala! or maybe cologe by Truefitt and Hill [1805, personally]

    Good luck, and good for you!
