Need Help: Wedding Gift Idea

[ancora imparo]

I'm looking for some assistance for putting together a wedding gift.

My little brother is getting married. He's not into wet shaving (yet), but his wife-to-be confirmed my suspicion that shaving gear would make a great gift.

Here's the twist: I'd like to get him various shaving items from countries representative of his family's and his wife's family's heritage.

His family: English, German, Norwegian, Irish.
Her family: Italian.

Remember: He's a noobie to this, so gentle items would be preferred. He has a light beard and shouldn't require aggressive razors or blades.

Some obvious ideas that come to mind: Merkur razors (German); English creams and badger brush; Proraso products (Italian).

Let me know your ideas. Creativity is always appreciated. Thanks!

C.V Heljestrand makes straight razors but the may be Sweedish I am not quite sure?

Thanks, lads! This is what I've settled on so far (but I haven't completed my search):
Merkur Classic Razor (Germany)
Honeybee Irish Tweed Soap (Ireland)
Proraso Soap (Italian)
Badger Hair shaving brush from Mens Essential (made in England)

I'm stuck on Norway. I'm looking for a shaving mug/bowl. In a pinch, I might get him Geir cologne (it's pricey, but very clean, professional scent) from Norway.

I'd appreciate any other ideas out there.
