Long story short--my little brother just started wet shaving!
I can't explain to you how thrilled I was.
I know that susceptibility to cutting yourself is increased with a safety razor when careless or lack of skill is evident, in my little brother's case--the latter.
I'll admit I was too scared for him to let him use a DE/SE/Injector so I gave him a fusion.
I know he'd be less prone to cuts that way. It's just the older brother in me
Anyways, when he's ready, i'll have a nice set waiting for him to claim if he decides to follow in my shaving path or my older brothers (fusion/gillette gel). I'd be thrilled if he found liking in my methods, but I won't argue with him while he's so early in to his shave life.
But I didn't let him off the hook entirely.. I made him use a brush and soap
I decided to shave with him with similar equipment so he'd have an example.
My set up:
Gillette fusion Power
Simpson Special Pure badger
Mama Bear Lavender Peppermint
My little brothers set up:
Gillette fusion gamer
Tweezerman Badger
Mama Bear Hydrogen (I was surprised he picked this out of the lot. Not that mama bears is bad but I had understood his taste to be different and that maybe he'd spoil himself with one of my higher end creams, I guess that's where he differs from my very royal class older brother
)
Tell me about your family shave stories! Brothers, sisters, wives, dads.. moms?!
