Silver Shaving Razor Porcelain Limoges Box

A silver colored shaving razor with a porcelain handle recalls the slow, careful ritual of the old-fashioned barber shop. This piece is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and it is decorative rather than a working razor.

A Close Shave

Before disposable razors, a good shave was something of an art, with a steady hand, a warm lather and a fine razor. The silver tones and the handle are painted by hand here, so the shine and details vary a little from box to box.

The Barber Chair

It is a great present for a barber celebrating years behind the chair, a groom on his wedding morning, or a father who taught his son to shave. Men who have taken up traditional wet shaving will appreciate the nod, and it makes a fun Father's Day surprise.

Vanity Companions

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A decorative piece for a barber, grooming or vanity collection
• Pairs with shaving brush, blue razor and cologne bottle boxes

Set it on a bathroom vanity, a dresser beside a watch and cufflinks, or the front counter of a barber shop. It keeps a classic morning ritual in view.
