My father in law disappointed the heck out of me in this regard. He's 80 and uses a can and a multi. I gifted him the following:
Gold Aristocrat
Large Gio Sampler of blades + Swede + Personna Titanium
Proraso pre / post
Proraso SC
Proraso splash (he's Italian, so I figured...)
Trumper Rose (soap)
Tabac + bowl
Aqua di Parma
Tabiano AS gel
Anherb ASB
4711 AS splash
Styptic
Alum
LeisureGuy book
You know what he ended up using? None of it.
And do you know how atrocious his shaves are?
Yeah; I quote Married to the Mob, right before Tony whacks Alec Baldwin:
"You disappointed the sh__ out of me"

: Despite the fact that the Semogue brushes are
: beefy, I'll probably end up getting both the
: 2000 and the 1305. They're incredible
: bargains, and my father-in-law and
: brother-in-law shave with brushes, so I can
: give them away to family if I don't enjoy
: them. I'll also look forward to the Omega
: brushes you've mentioned. My fathr-in-law
: snagged my 31064 on our last visit to his
: house, so I'd like another Omega with the
: quality of the 31xxx series.

: I bought one of these brushes last year that
: were made a long time ago by Omega, so long
: ago that Giovanni never had them in his
: catalog nor did they appear on the Omega web
: site. Since there was no number distinction,
: I dubbed it the 'Capodimonte' because to me
: it was 'old world ugly' kind of like Italian
: Provincial furniture in the 60s and 70s,
: like in 'Moonstruck'
: It has a head like the 31xxx family and a
: hefty handle, a very nice brush. Please
: forgive my name dropping from my past posts
: like I'm a brush celebrity or something; not
: what I intended!
