Old Fashioned Luxury Shaving Mug and Brush Set

Experience a classic shave with this vintage Franklin Toiletry Co. "Barbershop Old Fashioned Luxury" shaving mug and brush set. The mug was made by Franklin Toiletry Company, which sold a line of wet-shaving products from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The mug is made of ceramic and features a gold trim around the lip and base. The style of brush shown, with a distinctive handle shape and a ferrule that unscrews, is similar to vintage "Rubberset" brand brushes, which were popular from the 1930s to the 1950s. Shaving brushes are used to apply shaving cream or soap to the face before shaving and the mug holds the shaving cream. The bristles are often made from badger or boar hair. The handle is made from ivory celluloid. The brush helps create a rich, warm lather, which softens the hair and exfoliates the skin, leading to a closer and more comfortable shave. The set is a collectible. Add as a touch of vintage decor to your bathroom! All sides and measurements shown in photos. In excellent condition. Smoke-free home.
