Yay...another 'enable' job finished.

[Blackie]

My also retired neighbour from a few doors down has shaved with plastic cartridge razors and cans of goop/gel for many years.
We talked about wet shaving just a few days ago and I told him about DE razors.

So I loaned him my lovely wee Mamba 53 as they are fairly fool proof plus gave him a tuck each of Astra SP, Astra SS, and Minora stainless.
Sent him some links to places such as Paste & Cut (of course), various NZ sellers of blades, soaps, etc, and Artisans Arcade too (direct to the Pearl Flexi razor).

Now, fast forward just one day...he had a nice shave with the Mamba...and has gone online to Artisans Arcade and bought a Pearl Flexi.

Wahoo..I love it when a plan comes together. Another DE wet shaver enabled.
Now we just need to get him into proper soaps/brushes/etc.

It's good to have someone local I can talk to about wet shaving gear, and stuff, and more stuff.
It helps that he and his Missus are nice folks too.

Well done @Blackie !

It is great when they come back a year or so later and tell you that they cannot believe how much better their shaves are.

 

[Blackie]

Yes Mark you are right.
I have a new 26mm Yaqi Tuxedo to gift him, and a wee tub of of grated old formula Speick stick too just to get him fully sorted.
Then we need to get him into buying blades by the 100's and a few tubs of Stirling maybe (I showed him my Stirling Black Cherry soap and the scent won him over).
I think he's going to love that Flexi.

Keep it up, Blackie and I will have to think about putting you on commission.

Nice work, always nice to chat to someone live about it, sounds like your mate is sorted and well on his way to find the holy grail

Horse keep finding more Kiwis and start getting them into wet shaving, because, Auntie Dolly will give you a bloody big kiss and Wallace’s will stop throwing his gum boots at you, only and IF you stay away from him and his bathing time
