Feather Portable, solid, inexpensive, and uncomplicated. Great razor.
Get him a nice shiny, minty vintage Tech. Maybe even one in a box. You can put some appreciation of the old workmanship into him while giving him a nice and mild newbie experience with a razor he can pass down o his grandkids..
A Tech is perfect for the lighter fuzz of a teenager and dollar for dollar a better value than a cheap TTO.,
IMO, of course.

The Feather portable is fairly aggressive. I would stick with a Weishi, Tech, or a Schick Krona.

The 14 year old is using Grandpa's 1963 slim set on 1 at the moment for his peach fuzz. We'll dial it up as required 
Haven't tried it, but I've read good things about the Ming Shii.
My thoughts lean towards a tech. Forgiving but still the real deal.

Also a good idea, and they can be had for about $10.
Give him a Gillette Fusion!!! 
Young folks LOVE the Fusion because they are all hip and fly and fab and "sick" and whatnot!
It's what Tiger Woods shaves with and I bet the Jonas Brothers use one also!!
Just kidding of course! I would suggest a Gillette Tech.

Gillette Tech. Hands down the best beginner razor EVER.
I would say Weishi for TTO safer blade replacement and softness of shaving.
Pretty box too (mirror, cleaning brush, blade slot), for a gift.

I wish I'd started with a Tech way back when I first started shaving, but at any age it's very nearly a perfect starter razor; it definitely puts the "safety" in "safety razor." I would have saved myself one nasty cut for sure and probably gotten my technique down much more quickly.
diplomat, definitely a mint diplomat 
A Tech or the Feather ....either one or if he's a really great kid BOTH !!!!LOL
Tech with Derby blades. When I'm running late I grab the one I keep ready just for this purpose. I'm able to shave quick and carelessly. Just like I was 16 and had really important things to do.
I always thought the Gillette slims (the silver, short, adjustable ones) are kinda the industry standard for learning since dial 1 is so tame while dial 9 has a pretty big blade gap. Just a though
