Thought I’d try the shaving kit hardware advertised inthe latest Penn State Industries catalog to see if they would make easy Xmas gifts for this year. Just got the hardware and brush. Glued up my own chokecherry burl blanks.
Seemd easy enough and looks pretty good so I ordered 4 more with the Cocobolo blanks to go with them. The Mach III blades to go with the handles aren’t cheap though. Even at the discount store they run over $3/each. 2 in a pack for just a little over $6.

Is this a shaving set for a Nittany Lion fan? Very beautiful set- if it’s a gift they will LOVE IT!. And don’t worry about the Mach III blades- they are so worth it!

Very nice!
If you think the Mach III blades are good, you should try the Mach V ones. There is no comparison between the two I can’t use any other blade now. They run around $15 for 5 blades though but are so worth it if you have really thick stubble.

Meh.
I use a Forrest Wooodworker II for MY (weekly) shave.
Smooth as a baby’s butt ;-)

Looks very good. I see they don’t sell any safety razor kits, which use extremely cheap, all-metal blades (good for the environment, and okay for you).
Apparently, quite a few people consider these superior to any cartridge razor, but has a slight learning curve: it can cut you, though not severely so.
Looks expensive, while not being overly so. Excellent gift material!
