I bought my dad a little starter set that I put together. p160 150g from italianbarber, badger brush, Gillette tto from the 40's, old spice AS, Proraso AS, Proraso Pre-Shave, a sampler of gillette blades and some Dorco blades.
I showed him the basics of lathering and using the safety razor. He made short work of it rather quickly (he used one for awhile when he was a teenager). He was quite surprised at the result, and I think I have a convert.
A side note. He mentioned that in middle school, if he didn't shave, they would make him shave with a DE Razor dry. I forgot how soft we have become these days [sigh].
