    Default Gifts for the father in laws (I have 2)

    I'm intending to give both of my father's in law a gift.

    Both wet shave and one uses a DE that he's had since he started shaving the other uses disposable razors. Both use soap sticks, both Palmolive.

    I've gotten both a vintage wade shaving scuttle, an entry badger brush as they both have boar/natural bristle and I'm looking to get a puck/cake of soap for both so they can use the scuttles.

    I'm at a loss as to what to get or where as the only one I can think of is Crabtree and Evelyn. Nomad and Sienna are quite nice but would only fit one of the scuttles as the other has a smaller top.

    I'm looking to spend around £5 - £7.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    I don't have any recommendations on the soaps. Maybe a sampler pack of SRD soaps they are $15 US for a pack of 12? I bet they are going to love the scuttles and brushes. Do you have any pics to share?

    I'm not sure if SRD would post to the UK.

    I'll try and get some pictures on tomorrow. Can't seem to do it from the iPhone.

    a DR HARRIS puck goes for about £9 if you'd be willing to spend just a little bit more.
