B&H stuff looks SUPER cool. Still working on figuring out how to actually make a purchase?

OK! I have a SR and brush, just working on the scuttle/mug/bowl/whateverthehell, shaving cream, and brush/razor holder.

Should I post what kind of brush and SR I got? Wait? I suppose anyone can...

Since you obviously have some brushes, what is your suggestion for a holder? Should I get a brush/SR holder? I'm loathe to just have him set the brush down on the counter..

D: I didn't even know that was possible!

Your photos crack me up. The brush I was looking at is $145, but that article I posted yesterday (I think) says you're basically just paying for a fancy handle. I need to call the guys at SRD, I...

Believe it or not, this has been a huge help. The varying perspectives help me gauge what different men prefer, and then apply some of that to what I know about my boyfriend. I've gone from about 500...

Choosing a Shaving Brush – The Different Grades of Badger

So.. not the $145 silver tip brush?

What was the difference for you?

I'm gonna punch him in the gonads if he gets me a gift card or some shit after all this. lol

Totally understand; was just curious if it was one of those things that kids will fight over in the will. lol

OH NO. I just looked through the items that criswilson10 suggested... so. many. options.

Currently looking at brushes. Is a really expensive one worth it?

Wait... 250 straight razors? Are they worth money if you sell them or pass them down?

Ha. Thanks. I was trying to decipher all of this on my own, which was way more difficult than I even thought possible. I'm gonna order the Ralf Aust. Now I just need recommendations for what to buy...

LOL. I want to refer him to this site, but I also kind of want to just keep it as a place to ask questions without him knowing! I suppose I can just keep my profile very anonymous.

The Art of Shaving -Black Wood Grenadille - Purchase Top Quality Straight Razors

So what is the difference with this one? Is it so expensive because.... it's fancy wood? Dovo(?)

Any input on...

Lol. I don't even have a good response. I'm going to assume that it's like my makeup brushes and art supplies: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY AND I NEED ALL OF THEM.

...are all of those yours?

That is easily the best news I've had in a while. I was expecting it to be more expensive.. I've seen a few in the $300 range, but I obviously have no idea what the difference would be.

I want to...

Ok. Is shave ready the same as honed? I thought I read somewhere that shave ready didn't always mean that it had been honed by a professional. If not, should I then send it to someone to have honed?...

Haha. I also just figured out that I should reply with quote!

It's something I know he loves, so it's important to me as well :)

I'm cringing as I type this, but does that involve leather in anyway? If not, I'm thinking send it out until he's comfortable with it. I know he won't want to potentially cause damage to it until...

I don't know what the protocol is on replying to people, but I just figured out that it's a "starter" razor. I think he just chose one and ordered. SO, I don't think he will care what I order him, as...

Ok. I'll have to ninja a shot somehow. Not exactly a way to nonchalantly bring up the subject.

I suppose under a thousand dollars? Price isn't too much of a concern,
He's used one on and off for a few years, but has begun using one regularly as his only source of shave a few months ago.
I...

So, I need to buy a straight razor for the boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He isn't a newb, problem is that I am. I want to get him something... antique? Nice? Legit? Cost isn't an issue, I literally...
