Thank you to Fine Accoutrements for providing me with product. All thoughts are my own.
For most of the twenty years I have known my husband, he has had facial hair. It's just always sort of been his thing, ya know? Sure, he's changed the look of his beard over the years, and he's even added in a mustache, but I can't remember what his face looks like clean-shaven. In fact, I don't feel the need to revisit the babyface days. Nothing helps the hubs win an argument faster than threatening to shave off his facial hair.
Though I love his beard, I know it's a lot of upkeep for him. I also know that it can become itchy and uncomfortable at times, especially if he doesn't have a good razor to work with. This holiday season, we're cleaning up with some new shaving products and a new safety razor from our friends at Fine Accoutrements!

Want to up your man’s shaving game, Fine Accoutrements, the retro men’s shaving brand has launched their own double edge safety razor to cap their now full lineup of traditional shaving products. The Fine “Marvel” Safety Razor brings “Mr. Fine’s” successful formula of vintage product modernization to the most crucial tool necessary for a “Fine Shave.”
Marvel Safety Razor ($40.00)
The Fine “Marvel” Safety Razor features an aggressively arched blade suspended over a large comforting safety bar. It utilizes a classic three-piece design and precision molded zinc alloy construction with bright chrome electroplating. Current cartridge users will be amazed at just how comfortable a safety razor can be, while experienced wet-shavers may be just as surprised at how such an efficient shaver can shorten their usual routines.
An updated take on the once ubiquitous design of the EverReady C40 Shaving Brush, the Fine "Classic" Shaving Brush maintains the great look of the original but replaces the antiquated bristles with our miraculous "Angel Hair" fibers, and the hollow plastic handle with solid, lathe turned resin.
Sourced directly from The Almighty, Angel Hair fibers represent the first synthetic material to truly rival the highest grade badger hair for comfort and performance. Both cruelty-free and lower cost than badger, there's little doubt that this shaving brush is truly a gift from on high. Fine Accoutrements is proud to have been among the first in the world to offer this type of knot.
Highlights
100% Solid Resin Handle
20mm Knot with 56mm Loft (not including 8mm inset)
Handle measures 52mm tall with a maximum diameter of 36mm
Made in China
Building a proper shaving lather on your face with a brush and a traditional shaving soap or cream is a great first step to improving your shave. However, if you want the most luxurious lather your soap or cream can possibly produce, you simply must have a lather bowl. The Fine Shaving Lather Bowl has been thoughtfully designed from the ground up just for this purpose.
When evaluating shaving lather bowls, there are several criteria to consider including:
Storage - Men’s wet shaving bowls are a bulky piece of equipment when compared to other toiletries, and most bathrooms are not well-equipped to conveniently store them. The Fine Lather Bowl is the first and only to support wall mounting.
Grip - Working with a delicate item in wet and soapy conditions over a hard surface on a regular basis requires a tool that’s easy to hold on to. The handle on the Fine Lather Bowl is just right for slipping your thumb through while holding it in the palm of your hand.
Texture - When making a lather, a degree of texture to your bowl aids in more quickly aerating your soap or cream. The Fine Lather bowl features low-profile ribs for just this purpose.
Color - As you get to know the lathering properties of a particular soap or cream, you’ll appreciate the color contrast between a dark bowl surface and your pure white lather. All Fine Lather Bowls sport a dark-colored inner bowl.
Brush Handling - Traditional wet shaving generally requires multiple shaving passes. Between these lathers, your brush needs a home. The brush holder integrated into the handle of the Fine Lather Bowl provides the perfect place to set your brush while keeping it from sliding into the slippery lather itself.
Style - Fine Lather Bowls sport two-tone, hand-dipped colored glazes for a clean and distinct look.
The Fine Lather Bowl is best used with a brush that has been pre-loaded with soap or with an almond-sized dollop of cream. It is not intended to replace a shaving mug or soap bowl for soap storage and brush loading, but to complement it.
