Shaving Brush and Grandpa Mug



Grab a horehound candy lozenge, pop it in your mouth, then step right up to the bathroom mirror and foam up a mug of shaving cream for an old fashioned, nostalgic shave.

Hidden Treasures carries lots of great, old time items that you'll love teaching your kids and grand kids about, including this brush and mug set. Now, back to our shaving lesson.

Preliminary step: prepare your face by splashing a lot of hot water on your face, or applying a hot wet towel on it. Get your beard growth as soft as possible.

1. Take that brush, turn on the hot water spigot, stick the brush into the stream, and sterilize it.

2. Drain the excess water from the brugh, shake it a few times.

3. Work up a lather by scraping the brush bristles against the bar of shaving soap.

4. Swirl the lathered brush in circles, moving from your neck on up across your cheeks, to get it into your pores.

5. When you're all lathered up, press your razor against your skin and slide it across, cutting the beard.

NOTE: To avoid cutting yourself, never lift the razor off your skin. Instead using a sliding motion, like you're painting a wall. Slide the razor up and down, never lifting it up and pressing it back down, for that is how cuts and bleeding occur.

6. Reapply lather to any sections of beard that need a second shaving.

7. Rinse brush and mug when done.

The key to a close clean shave is the "painting" razor technique accompanied by hot water and good lather.
