Last week my cousin, whom I gifted a nice shaving brush, and her boyfriend were visiting. I took the opportunity to also introduced her boyfriend to the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving.
I did this by providing him with everything that he would need to get started. I Also showed him the the Jarick Superchargers lather method since it's super easy and quick to consistently make fantastically perfect lather. He's now been successfully converted at the age of 20.
Here are all the goodies I gave him.
-a large mug to lather in
-a user grade Gillette Ball End Tech
-a block of alum
-a septic pencil
-four tubs of homemade soap. One of which is the Silver Fox recipe.
-a puck of Williams Mug soap because everyone should give it a try
-a variety of Aftershave Samples consisting of Vintage Avon Leather, Osage Rub, Florida Water, Aqua Velva Ice Sport, Clubman Classic Vanilla, Aqua Velva Ice Blue, Clubman Special Reserve, Clubman Lilac Vegetal (he's chosen by the way), Bay Rum (my recipe), Stetson Cooling Moisture, Dollar Tree Blue Stuff, Old Spice Pure Sport
-73 blades consisting of German Wilkinson Sword, 7 O'clock yellows, Astra SS, Perm-Sharp, Personna Med Prep, Personna Platinum, Astra SP, Shark Super Chrome, Feather, Rockwell, Diamant Croma, Gillette Platinum Plus, Gillette Silver Blue
-1 ounce jar of menthol crystals
-and some witch hazel
Some pictures for you.
