Did you ask him if he is curious about traditional/wet shaving?
Might be able to convert him, which is far more satisfying
he's a beard man hasn't shaved since he was like 17 very very hairy hates the routine of shaving. I did suggest it but he's lazy

The English Rockets are a nice little razor - in fact I'm using one now 
Nice pickup @the_shaving_sailor - even better when you know the provenance. Something I would try and capture before it is too late - link the razor with its past, where it has been, who it was with. They almost become like people IMHO ...

Nice one! I love a bargain.
I was talking to an bloke I know yesterday. His daughter was using our bathroom and he went in to help her turn on the tap. Seeing my strop (I leave an old one in there for this very reason!) he asked if I used a traditional razor. Anyway, I showed him my DE/SE/SR collection. He's bearded like your bloke and told me he never shaves because of the irritation. So launch into why carts do this and you only need one blade, and even if he did use a cart, if he used a proper soap and brush it would be happy days. Time will tell if I have planted a seed but once you've stopped shaving for a decade or two, I reckon I could be hard to go back.
