The Best Shaving Gift I Ever Gave My Man

I have always tried to find the perfect gifts for my husband for Christmas. He has a heavy beard and needs to be shaved at least once daily. I was searching for ideas one day and stumbled upon the idea of a shaving cup with a razor and brush. I knew it would look great next to his bathroom sink and decided that I would give it a try.

He is forever running out of his canned shave cream, and as you know, it has become my problem, and I have to remember to pick it up for him. This is better than the canned-style shave cream since it is mixed with warm water each time it is used and lasts a long time. In addition, theretypes of cake soaps fit into the cup with various scents and ingredients.

The minute he opened his gift on Christmas morning, I knew I had hit the nail on the head. He loved the silver cup and the matching brush and razor. Since he hadn't shaved yet, the first chance he got, he was off his bathroom using his new gift. He loved his close shave, and it was easy for him to determine when the soap was running out. So no more emergency runs for shave cream for me.

The soap is readily available at most drug stores, but online, there is a vast selection of fragrances and brands. I am so happy he liked the gift and think that almost any man would enjoy it. I plan to get a few more of the sets this Christmas for my sons-in-law. I think they will enjoy the gift as much as my husband; it does dress up the counter of his bathroom sink.

The wet shaving method has long been a favorite of many men. But, long before the invention of whipped can shave, cream bar soap and a brush was used; on people's faces.

Safety razors dated back to 1762 but didn't catch on until 1828, when they were distributed in Sheffield, England. William Henson invented the hoe-shaped razor in 1847, the type found in many homes. King Camp Gillette, a traveling salesman in 1895, combined the hoe shape with a disposable double-edged blade. This was called the safety razor. Gillette made lots of money for his design and saved people from having to remove the edge for sharpening.

The double-edged blade was a good idea but was hard to produce. It took at least six years for Gillette to find a way to create this blade. MIT professor William Nickerson helped Gillette figure out a way to stamp the edges from sheets of high-carbon steel. Finally, by 1903, the blades were available to the American buying market. Gillette sold the razor for a loss but made his profits from the sale of knives.

Many women shave their faces just like men. It has become something that is done in the privacy of the home. Many women have facial hair which is dark and unattractive. Although there are other hair removal methods, most women choose razors.
