    He doesn't actually. He's used a Gillette Track II for as long as I can remember, and keeps a full beard year round. It's more of a keepsake thing.

    This is what it is all about right here. I am sure your dad will appreciate this kind gesture and the care that you have taken in this restore. Great work! God Bless Ken

    Maybe he'll be more inclined to show it, or at least cherish it, after you put some time and love into it, regardless of whether he shaves with it or not. Great gesture and a unique gift. It's a reminder that a gift shouldn't come from your wallet, it should come from your heart. Too many marketers would have us forget that, especially at this time of year.

    Well, Dad got the present two morning ago now....

    He wants me to teach him how to use it. So that's pretty cool. "I" get to teach "him" how to shave. Not bad....not bad at all. Finally I can return some of the favours.

    That is truly a cool thing. Time to turn the tables a bit, eh?

    Very thoughtful gift. I love it when I see people really putting some thought and effort into their gift giving. Well done! I am sure he was thrilled.

    Maxi, my dear friend, your heart is as big and as sweet as Canada. What better gift for one's father than a straight razor framed in love? Well done.

    A true great story with a happy ending. Nothing shows a sign of respect for a father than when a son takes the time to do something not because it needs to be done or because the father would like it to be done, but because the son wants to do it. I hope that when my boys grow up their as thoughtful, great story Max!
