Shaving Brushes: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Cookies eaten. Eggnog sipped. Calories consumed. Decorations shelved. Gifts given. When the lights stop twinkling and the season passes, you don’t want your gifts to fade into oblivion. Don’t worry. There are some gifts that endure the test of time. Check out a beautiful, functional, and purposeful shaving brush for the shaver on your Christmas list. And give the gift that keeps on giving.

For the traditional shaving enthusiast who has embraced this wet shaving gig, a shaving brush is a thoughtful gift that benefits the recipient, the environment, and maybe even his or her progeny.

• This classic shaving tool is great for the shaver. It whips up a slick, protective lather on a skin-nourishing shaving soap. But wait, there is more. A shaving brush doesn’t just create the lather, it also exfoliates the skin and lifts the hairs for a smooth, irritation free shave. The time spent to whip up a lather is also a gift of “me-time” that many wet shavers assert is their favorite part of classic wet shaving.
• Traditional shaving brushes benefit the environment by cutting back on waste and harmful chemicals. Using a shaving brush with a long-lasting soap reduces canned, aerosol foams and the resulting packaging.
• Last, a shaving brush is made to last. A quality, hand-tied, well-maintained shaving brush might just out-live its owner. Truly the gift that keeps giving.
