I am really proud and happy to be able to finally teach my 20-year-old son how to DE shave on his 1st shave ever!
He's in University and due to the current pandemic, is on study-from-home. He's also working a part-time job. He was informed by his superior he needs to get rid of his lower chin hair. My son has never shave before and he has really soft facial hair. I was surprised he wants to shave and very happy to guide him.
My choice for him is my mildest razor, the Feather Popular paired with another mild blade a SuperMax SS. The lather is from the SuperMax tube and the brush is the Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia. For post-shave, it's Thayers with tree-tree, peppermint & lavender oils. I let him choose his aftershave. He chooses Clubman Whisky Woods.
He emerged clean-shaven, BBS, not a single nick, weeper nor irritation. He looks younger, smell terrific and he's now interested in my gears in my shave den... I can now justify getting more soaps/aftershaves and blades...and maybe another razor...
I planned to introduce him to some really safe metal razors (after the feather popular)...like the Gillette Rocket...
I can only imagine if he'll take over my vintage Gillettes...
Anyone here taught his son for their 1st DE shave...??
