For my son's coming of age

[Mark1966]

Well many of you will know that I've sourced a (my) birth year (1966 L 1) NOS Slim Aristocrat to give my son for his 18th birthday. You can see pics in this thread.


Originally I was going to give it to him with a Simpson Berkeley but since then another couple of acquisitions have come my way ...


So we still have the Slim Aristocrat in all its glory but there are a couple of other things poking their heads up behind it, what could they be ?






Can you see more clearly now?






In all their NOS glory, a vintage butterscotch Simpson KH2 and an Old Spice mug






So this is what the boy gets on his coming of age:






HUGE thanks to B&B member Justin for sourcing the brush for me it has truly made the set complete

Wow!! What a gift!!

How old is your son currently?

Currently 12 1/2 and had his first shave a little while ago, see here.

Very cool.

Man, awesome set!! But 5.5 years!!! You're going to have to show some pretty awesome patience to wait until he is 18 years old to give it to him.

Are you going to let him shave with that razor???!

When my son turned 18, I gave him a well-used pre-war Tech. No brush. His whiskers are very sparse and still as soft as a cat's belly fur.

Very nice. I will be doing the same for my currently 4 year old son.

Yes indeed. He will be well and truly shaving by then, he has 'started' already so this will not be his first set - just his best

Very nice Mark! My son's a good many years away from shaving, but when he does, I'll hopefully have a kit as nice as this ready and waiting for him! Also, kudos to Justin who helped you on this one. If not for the very helpful CONUS B&B members, us overseas collectors may not be able to lay our hands on a lot of nice shaving related items!

Wow, that's a perfect gift!
