A buddy of mine had an electric of some sort that bit the dust. I told him about wetshaving and he likes the concept but says the start up costs (razor, brush, cream, AS, etc.) sounds like a pain in the ***.
So he got me a Christmas present I thought I'd return the gesture.
So I was gonna drop 25 bucks and get him a pure badger brush. Then I changed my mind and got him the Merkur HD, just like mine 'cept mine is the HD Slant. I felt the Barberpole and DAMN that thing is SWEET and I'll get it for myself some time but I can't afford the extra 10 bucks; the HD already stretched my budget. When I get some money I want the Barberpole Slant for my collection because that thing feels like it's sturdy enough to break your foot if you dropped it!
Anyway do you think I did good, starting him out an a Merkur HD instead of an entry level brush? I figure he can go get some brush and a good cream and stuff to accompany it. Or do you think I could have got him something different to start out? He doesn't look like he has thick whiskers, quite light looking. But still.
