Gift Idea For Him: Luxury Shaving Kit
When it comes to searching for a gift for your loved men whether it is a husband, a boyfriend or a dad, you probably would like to give them something unique and thoughtful. I recently discovered The Personal Barber brand who make the luxury shaving kits.
On their website you can subscribe to receive these boxes on the regular basis without having to re-order last minute. Blades, shaving soaps, balms and gels are delivered to you every 6 weeks. Each new box is different and there is always the element of surprise in it.
The kit comes beautifully packaged, so you instantly get the luxury feel of its content.
What’s inside the shaving kit
Apart from the shaving accessories, each box also contains the detailed instruction on how to use it. Inside the box were:
- Premium safety razor made of stainless steel
- Synthetic hair shaving brush
- Oatcake shaving soap which smells awesome
- 5 Astra razor blades
There are no plastic elements in this box, so if you care about our planet, this is the perfect choice.
The razor contains only 1 blade, which means less irritation for the skin. To load the razor is quite easy: it has three parts, which are simple to assemble. You need to unscrew the handle, place the blade between both head plates and then reassemble. The double-edge razor is well balanced, with a mild blade gap giving the perfect control on each pass without applying to much pressure.
The shaving brush is made of high quality synthetic hairs that put it somewhere between badger hair and boar hair in terms of its softness but with the added benefit of not being an animal product. It is easy to maintain it: simply flick dry and leave on the side until next shave.
The Perfect shave guide from The Personal Barber
- Before shaving take a shower: a fully hydrated beard is significantly easier to cut.
- Soak the brush in warm water and then allow the access of water to drip off.
- Place the brush inside the soap box and start moving it in a circular motion until a thick lather forms.
- Apply the lathered brush over the beard in a circular motion.
- Let lather soak into beard for 30 seconds to soften.
- Start shaving your face in the direction of the hair growth in short, slow passes.
- Rinse the remaining lather and splash the face with cold water.
- Apply the aftershave balm.
There is no doubt that your loved one will enjoy this luxurious shaving kit!
