Guys Grooming Gifts

As a girl, I usually never thought of buying any shaving or grooming related gifts until a cousin of mine bought a special old fashioned shaving kit with brush and soap for her husband and he simply loved it. My cousin broaden my horizon to think in buying someone a special grooming kit, in family who you are close to. I do not think this may work if do not know the guy well, so I will caution you against it.

Place soap into mug, wet brush with warm tap water. Using circular motion over soap create desired amount of lather. Apply lather to beard using badger brush. After shaving, rinse brush under warm tap water. Store on custom stand to dry.
