A great gift idea
Purchased
I bought The Art of Shaving 4 elements starter kit for my little brother--well, he's not so little anymore--who has never tried anything more than a drugstore shaving cream. (And I couldn't resist getting a kit for myself, too.)
This kit is a great value, since you get pre-shave items, shave items, and post-shave items to protect your mug. The badger-hair shave brush works really well to lather up the cream that comes in this kit--or other creams that you might have.
