Ever use a shaving brush? Aerosol shaving foams get the job done, but the issue here is style. The traditional store Walter Weiss is a bastion of old-school personal care. Here is a treasure trove of Old World brushes, combs, sponges, mirrors and other grooming implements of exquisite quality that can’t be found in your neighborhood drug store/chemist.

Case in point, the shaving brushes: choose between stiff wild boar hair or soft badger hair handmade into brushes with handles of marble, exotic woods, plexiglas or buffalo horn. Original gift ideas include nail brushes with olive wood handles, handmade celluloid mustache combs and a manicure kit in a calf leather case lined with goatskin suede.
