My dad is a really traditional guy, but he's also a technology buff. So needless to say, he's got the most technologically advanced razor. He seems a bit envious of my set up, and expressed interest on giving a DE a shot when he's through with his fusion blades. (He's no dummy, he managed to buy a 12 pack of them on amazon for 26 bucks.) So I got him a merkur HD, an omega boar brush, some trials of different cremes and soaps, and I'm gonna find him an old spice mug on ebay because I know he had one when he was younger.

Sounds great to me. Maybe think about throwing in one of the blade sampler packs from westcoastshaving as well. I'm still very new to DE shaving and trying different blades I find as much fun as trying different cremes and soaps.

That's a very nice gift.
It's nice to have family to share your hobby with.

You might want to prepare him for the odious stench of new boar brushes, and let him know it will go away.
