I am a recent convert to the world of wet shaving. I currently have a Parker 91R, Feather blades, use a Williams Mug soap, an old coffee cup and a boar brush. This set up still gives me a best shave of my life. I have decided I would like to share/introduce this experience with some friends of mine. Soooo....
I am in the process of making shaving kit gift sets from lignum vitae (one the hardest and densest species of wood in the world). Each kit will contain a Parker 91R with LV handle, 20mm pure badger brush with LV handle, soap mug/bowl, lather bowl and a brush/razor/bowl stand. The kits will be Christmas gifts this year.
What would be your ideal handle size/style for the razor and brush?
How big should the soap and lather bowls be?
Here is a picture of the typical grain pattern in Lignum Vitae.
As a reward for responses, I will post build along pictures as well as the final product.
Thanks,
WB
