Shaving Set - Bocote Wood Badger Hair Brush, Safety Razor & Stand

Description

This is a beautiful handmade shaving kit turned from a piece of Bocote Wood, one of our personal favorites. Bocote is an exotic wood native to Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. It features a wide range of grain patterns from straight to wild, with curved lines and swirls. The color ranges from golden brown to tan to golden yellow. It is a hard, heavy, and dense wood, strong and stiff, with a medium texture. Mainly used for custom pool cues, cabinetry, veneer, furniture, inlays, knife handles, and pens. It polishes well with wax or polyurethane, and will take a moderately high natural gloss. The finish on all the wood in this kit consist of an initial flood coat of thinned sanding sealer so it soaks deep into the grain, followed by an additional coat once cured. The next six coats are a premium wood finishing CA (cyanoacrylate) super glue. These very important coats are extremely hard and protect the wood from day to day use in addition to progressively bringing the piece to a very smooth surface in preparation for the final finish. The final 2 coats of a shop made friction shellac polish are applied and buffed at a high speed to bring the piece to that beautiful sheen that will catch anyone's eye. The kit includes the stand, safety razor,and premium badger hair brush for the perfect shave everyday. The timeless look and feel of a double edge safety razor gives you a superior shave at a fraction of the cost of your typical razors. The blades can be found just about anywhere and on average only cost about $0.01 each. The brush is also easily replaced as the entire assembly simply screws apart and a new brush can be screwed back in. This is the perfect gift for any man.
