My oldest son turned 13 today. I am a bit taken aback by the man he is starting to become. He's learning to let go of fear and starting to think things through. He's becoming certain. This dad, is a bit emotional over it. What a great time in his life I get to be apart of.
I set him up with his first shaving kit for his birthday. It consisted of some very special things: A 1959 Gillette Fatboy I purchased from @ackvil; A tub of Captain's Choice from @Captain Pre-Capsize; A beautiful shave brush from a guy who came in around here the same time I did, Steve (@Graydog). These guys are a few of the guys I have felt a bond too since joining and_or have the utmost respect for. Thank you, gents for your example.
I rounded out things with some GSB blades, Nivea balm, a CC lather bowl and a nice canvas Dopp. *I also gave him a cartridge razor (Mach3) and canned goo as a back up; kids need options.*
He enjoyed his day. We had fun. Life is good.
