I used to keep canned cream in the shower so the kids could paint the walls with it while I showered with them. I don’t recall any of my kids putting the cream on their face but they definitely rubbed it on the walls and themeselves. Since my boys have come of age I have supplied them with ‘real’ soap and brushes and they are quite capable of lathering and shaving themselves. My oldest is proficient enough with a straight razor his friends call on him for a close shave whenever they have an important event on the horizon. My youngest spent several years using a straight razor to maintain the clean cut look ROTC requires but once I gave him the Gillette techmatic and a bunch of replacement cartridges he has stuck with that. In fact, it’s been 2 years now that he has been using the techmatic ...and he has enough replacement cartridge replacements to last many years more.
Heck, even my older daughter uses a brush and soap. She has a lady Gillette but seems to want to use $ store cartridges more often.
it is kind of cool that a toy company would choose to make a shaving kit for kids, it says something about the way they perceive our kids and what’s important.
