this one's for the boys

saturday i spent the day milling around the century city mall, here in los angeles, shopping/doing research for a few christmas gifts. now, i know sometimes men can be hard to shop for...especially the ones that seem to have everything already...so if you're looking for something classic and timeless, here it is! this shaving set from the art of shaving will last your man practically a lifetime. the engraved shaving set is the most luxury one they offer..however, there are other sets and kits that are priced more reasonably and still incredibly nice. the tools are nickel-plated, and the brush is made from silver tip badger hair--which i learned is the best hair for shaving brushes, as it retains heat & absorbs the least amount of water than any other hair. interesting fact of the day. :)
