My 30 yo son is going old school and for his upcoming birthday he has asked for a safety razor and everything that goes with it. I am fortunate to have my grandfathers safety razor which is almost 100 years old and will give it to him but I am at a loss as to all the additional accessories that he’ll need. Can anyone reccomend some good products? Thanks ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | ||

a good brush (badger which is softer, or boar which is stiffer), razor and brush stand, good shaving soap (I like D.R. Harris soaps), and a styptic pencil. He will need a sampler pack of blades so he can pick a brand that works best for him. all of this can be purchased at www.Westcoastshaving.com. __________________________ More blessed than I deserve. http://davesphotography7055.zenfolio.com/f238091154 | |||

Blades. Hard to shave without them. No one asked, but if it's a vintage WWI or later Gillette it will likely take standard DE blades, but if something else can be more problematic. Depending on the razor, could also be quite valuable.
