It does peak that interest, but sometimes they need that extra nudge in the right direction

Maybe it's the start up price? I mean, it is an investment in some way, depending on what you get, but with everything but the soap and blades being permanent purchases, it's worth it. I have mentioned the difference in price of the blades VS the cart blades, the better soap that doesn't come out of a can and full of chemicals, and the aftershaves, yet still they don't seem to look into it.
Am I being too insistent about it perhaps? I mean I don't constantly talk about it, just a casual mention of it now and then, maybe I should leave them alone for a while and see if they will bring it up on their own now?
let them try some of your equipment for a few shaves if you trust them...that may show them the way..
I have tired, but they are hesitant about that, which I can't blame them for. Maybe I'll try again and reinforce I'll the fact that I'll clean it well and sterilize it before they get it and give them an unopened pack of blades as well.
maybe start with your cousin first, since he's blood and all..might be a bit more trusting than co-workers.
make sure he oils it! I posted my recipe in here: http://damnfineshave.com/thread-beard-oi...yone-using
