Shave of the Day

BlameOnMame · Dec 9, 2009

Hello Gentlemen,

I'm looking into getting a swell new shaving kit for my boyfriend for Christmas.
He goes for sort of a Gable/Powell mustache, but has trouble with it occasionally, therefore I think he would enjoy a shaving kit.

Could any of you gentlemen recommend a kit that's helpful for someone with a mustache?

Mame,
I can't say these have anything to do with moustaches per se, but as we are fans of the era of William Powell, et al... I'd say these are the "proper" tools to use:

jeep - where are those sunglasses from / who makes them???

JEEP · Dec 15, 2009

They are Ray Bans from the late 80's or early 90's. They are not very common, I was lucky to find mine second hand very cheaply.
