This is a beautiful handmade shaving kit turned from a piece of Curly Hard Maple Wood. Curly Maple (Tiger Maple) is traditional hard maple (sugar maple, rock maple, hard rock maple) with a soft and flowing figure. The hard maple is the state tree of Wisconsin, Vermont, New York and West Virginia. In the North, during the cold nights and warm days of late winter, the sugar maple is tapped for its sucrose-containing sap, the source of maple syrup. Until the turn of the century, the heels of women's shoes were made from maple. Curly Maple (Tiger Maple) has been a favorite of American furniture makers since early Colonial days. 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.
