I have only done the stand and the razor, and taken a crappy photo of that so far. The stand I used Cocobolo finished with EEE ultrashine and Shellawax, the razor I have used Camphor Laurel and finished with 5 coats of medium CA glue. I really like the contrast between the dark and light woods, the badger hair brush is also set to be in Camphor. Shaver-and-stand.jpg

Whilst these are attractive and useful kits, you need to figure that they will be in harsh conditions (steam soap etc) so things like truestone, acrylic, horn and so on will be much more durable , my 2 cents worth hehe , cheers ~ John
