If he uses a DE razor, I'd buy him a Fatip and spend the rest on soaps/creams and a brush
^^This is the best suggestion in this entire thread!! It may well wind up he's been using a Gillette Atra and any $ spent on a Timeless or ATT would be likely wasted.I really think iy would be a good idea to find out what razor the intended recipient is using atm before buying him a new one. If he's using a vintage Gillette then it might not be very aggressive, since many aren't, so something like an R41 might not suit his style.

I took a peek at his razor. It looks like a cheap grocery store special. It’s a TTO (butterfly) with a black plastic handle. Closed comb / smooth bar. It looks pretty beat up and oxidized. Didn’t see any brand on it.
Im thinking since he already has a TTO style, maybe I should get him a re-plated vintage Gillette? Like a Red Tip or Super Speed maybe?
Thanks guys.
Can anyone recommend a modern TTO razor?
