My step-father told me he wants to go back to Double Edge shaving, but he is 87 years old and not in the best of shape for his age. He lives in a small town, and has had zero luck finding a double edge razor or blades. He does not own a computer and could not access the internet if his life depended on it.
For his upcoming birthday, I have both him a Merkur razor, Astra Blades, a pre shave oil, and some Nivea Face Balm. He uses a commercial can of foam, and I do not think he would do the full shaving brush/shaving soap routine.
Do you think it is a good idea, or do you see a "blood bath" on the way . Oh, I did buy him a styptic pencil just in case.
