Sharing my shave...

I shared my shaving experience with my son (6th grader), and it was awesome to watch him take in the advice...
no blade was used by my son!!!

• don't *press* down!
• get a good lather on that brush!
• North to South first, ear to nose second, nose to ear third
• smaller strokes with the razor head
  

       

Priceless moments shared. Neither of you will forget it. Well done sir.

Can't wait 'til my little guy is ready to learn.

Nice job!

Very nice!

Very nice, you must be very proud.

Thank you all for the kind responses!


Him being my son is enough to be proud of, he's such a good spirited guy!

Awesome. Not only does it create a memory for both of you, but I think if they get familiar with the gear under supervision they won't be as fascinated by it when you aren't around. It's worked for mine anyway. Razors, knives, power tools, firearms, whatever. If they can handle them under supervision whenever they want, they don't get as curious about them when you're not around.

+1 Beautiful to see how we influence our kids for the positive things!

Fantastic!

Priceless! Thanks for sharing and congrats on your wonderful relationship with your son...

Both of my sons (11 and 16) have shown a strong interest in wet shaving. My youngest likes to "practice" with an old cheapo brush and my EJ89 (without a blade).





The older boy has already asked me if he can have my unused razor, a brush and use my creams.

Of course he can!

These pictures are priceless! Thank you for sharing such a brilliant moment!

Wow. Good show gents. I am looking forward to the day when I get to show my son how to shave. He turns 3 this year, so I have a little while. Guess it gives me more time to build up the shave den

hehe, indeed! buid up that den!!!

Wish I had a father like you.

The training of my oldest has begun....




Showed him how to whip up a lather with some T&H Ultimate Comfort and a T&H brush, put an Astra in the EJ89 and walked him through 3 passes. Post shave of alum, Proraso pre/post cream and PdP balm. He enjoyed it.

Awesome! way to go *dad*
how did his skin react to the Alum?

That is so awesome! And a great experience for both dad & son(s). I remember teaching my boys (now 41 & 36), but dang, never got a picture - just the ones in my mind.
