A Gentleman's Shaving and Shaping Setup

 


Some new, some tried and trusted, these are currently the products that help me to accomplish the mug you see above.  So from the left to the right, the first produce would be Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood Shave soap.  This stuff has a wonderful scent and a nice slick, full, thick lather, my wife bought it for me as a gift (love that woman).  Next is my new aftershave that came in my #wetshaveclub box it's called pirates bay by Beaver WoodWright, I believe it to be their take on a bay rum scent; this product comes in a nice soothing lotion.  Then there is my cedar wood beard oil from Ladyburg (also a gift from my wife) which I use for conditioning before bed and pre-wax mustache conditioning.  The razor is also a new addition from the wetshaveclub, I have made the switch from cartridge razor to safety razor at long last, I tried the straight razor, but it was too much work to keep it sharp.  The mustache scissors are unbranded, inherited from my father.  The shaving brush was lathe turned by a good friend from cocobolo and the beard brush and mustache wax as well as a dry beard conditioner all came from canyouhandlebar.com a great cite whose products I whole heartedly recommend.  The brush and conditioner are terrific at holding down those stray hairs and the wax is how I get that nice shaping strength on the mustache!  These three products really brought my facial hair to the next level.  May go into further detail on the individual pieces or new additions at a later date, but that's all for now!  Thanks for reading!
