This is my first attempt at a Shaving Set that I have made for my Son.

The Blanks are Copper Storm from our Brody who kindly made me a large blank for the brush to match the razor.

I have inlaid a coin into the base of the Brush which was minted the year my Son was born.

A great set Vic, love the shape of both the brush and the razor handles. Nice touch with the coin.

Good job you did not make this for some of the members here as you would have had problems finding a coin to suit them:funny::funny::funny:

Vic impressed no end by your set in all aspects exactly appropriate for presenting to your son. Intrigued by the brush holding curious how the brush is held up more info no need for pics of the stand is it heavy weighted on the base? Brody highly commended in your pours mate going so far out of your comfort zone wonderful cooperation especially with your work load. The space saving stand particularly important space is at a premium on our shared vanity unit amazing how much we try to fit on ours dread to think of the old days sharing with eight of us one bathroom.

Put up alongside so many brush sets we have seen today being this point in time your production Vic holds its own in spades mate.
