$3 each,or 2 for $5 - Creamy Mug & Brush Soap
This is the stuff your great-grandfather probably used. It's a round soap that you put in your favorite mug, and work up a lather with hot water and a shaving brush. Great stuff, it's a lot creamier than the mug soap we've seen sold in drugstores.

$45 AND $65 - Badger Hair Shaving Brush
Your choice of Pure Badger or Silver Tip Badger hair. Both have 22mm knots, and are the perfect length to whip up an excellent lather. Check the weblink on the "Favorite Links" page for more info on this excellent shaving tool.

$8 - Lucky Tiger Brushless Shaving Cream
Much thicker and creamier than anything else we've seen. It's what we reccommend (and use) for the toughest beards, and what we use on everyone here in the shop. Seems to reduce nicks and razor burn, too. Apply a thin layer, as a little is better than too much. If it clogs up your razor, you've used too much--just add a bit of water on your face and you'll be good to go. 

$9 - Lucky Tiger Lemon Pre-shave Cream
Recommended for use on the toughest beards, makes your morning shave a pleasure.

$8 - Lucky Tiger Aftershave Cream
We have two types; one has a bit more menthol (Vanishing), the other a bit more peppermint (Disappearing). Both are excellent at soothing and moisturizing freshly shaved skin. Highly recommended for anyone using a straight razor.

$7 - Lucky Tiger After Shave Lotion
When you shave with a razor, you create lots of little scrapes and cuts on your skin.   By applying a spot of Lucky Tiger After Shave Lotion, you fight unfriendly bacteria that could
otherwise nest in those minute scratches and cause problems.   We keep three varieties with manly, but not lingering, scents on hand, including the classic Bay Rum.

7 Steps to a Memorably Relaxing Shave at Home
1) Apply a very thin coat of Lucky Tiger lemon pre-shave cream. A little bit goes a long long way . . .

2) Run some hot water on a small towel, and apply to your face for 60 seconds. Repeat. You want the beard hot and wet.

3) Apply a thin coat of Lucky Tiger shaving cream. Again, there's no need to over apply, as a little bit goes a long way.

4) Shave with your favorite razor. Stroke with the grain on the first pass, stroke across the grain on the second.

5) Apply some Lucky Tiger after shave cream.

6) Run some more hot water on a small towel, and apply to your face.

7) Wipe the after shave cream off with the hot towel, and maybe splash on some ice water to close the skin pores, and you'll be ready to take on the world!
