How to Give the Perfect Wet Shaving Gift

Giving the perfect wet shaving gift can be a very difficult task….especially for spouses!

Here is a quick guide on how to get the best wet shaving gift!

Know a few things about the recipients interests Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do they like vintage or modern gear?
2. Synthetic or natural brushes
3. What vendors do they currently already own?
4. Have they mentioned anything they were looking to get?
Phone a friend. If the recipient is active on forums or facebook there is nothing wrong with contacting a friend and asking them what they want.
Contact the artisan or vendor they frequently use. Look through their collection and check out the sites of the stuff they already use. I’ve heard of stories where spouses have even contacted an artisan and asked what to get.
Simply ask. Yep, just ask the recipient what they want.

Do not just purchase a kit at stores like Walmart, Marshalls etc. The true wet shaver ( even the beginner) has probably already tried anything they can get at a brick and mortar store and this ill collect dust.

The Gillette Toggle Always comes to mind for me. Gillette always sold the most razors in Q4 and I can visualize many Dads getting a toggle for Christmas!!
