For presents over the last few years, I have got family members starter DE kits and their whiskers are almost identical to mine, so I picked what should work for a long time to come yet still provide a nice entry into this world.
Muhle R89 razor
Astra SP / Gillette SB blades
Progress Vulfix mixed brush
TOBS shave cream
However, not a single family member/relative has even tried it out despite them knowing how I always get the finish I get compared to them.
Excuses I tend to hear are ;
- it will be too sharp
- it takes too long
- i will cut myself
- a plastic disposable / cartridge is better for your skin
- you don't know where the edges of the blade are
So, how have fellow members encouraged others to give proper shaving a go?
