    Default Christmas Gifts

    Christmas is right around the corner so i'v decided to make up some starter kits for a few family members and friends. I'v been shaving with a straight for about 10 months now and have found my favorite soaps/creams, aftershaves/witch hazels. You know, all the great stuff that makes shaving an art not a mundane day to day chore. i'm looking to put a rather large order into italianbarber.com for some razor rock and Castle Forbes, the Don Marco-Razor Rock and the Castle Forbes-Lime are a must, they go without say. But i'm looking for some hidden treasures i may have overlooked in my last order, tell me about your favorites i'm looking for diversity.

    Thanks

    I'm not sure I'd call them "hidden" treasures, but I always enjoy varieties of the following:

    * Taylor of Old Bond St, shave cream tubs
    * D.R. Harris, shave cream tubs
    * Arko, shave cream tubes. Cheap, but very effective.
    * Proraso, shave cream tubs
    * Speick, shave stick
    * Mitchell's Wool Fat, shave soap
