Premium Magic Shaving Kit — Solid Timber Stand, Badger Brush, Bowl & Soap

Same suspended brush. Same “how does that work?” moment — but this time, built in solid teak. The Premium Magic Shaving Kit takes our most distinctive design and pairs it with premium natural materials: a solid timber base, a proper badger brush, a timber lathering bowl, and everything you need for a daily wet shave — organised in one clean footprint that people actually want on display.

At a glance

The magic stand, made in timber

Pick up the brush. Place it near the arch. Watch it snap into place and hang — upside down, perfectly balanced, no hook, no clip, no visible mechanism. Everyone asks how it works. It's magic. That's all we'll say.

This is the same stand that stops people in their tracks, now built in solid teak. The brush dries inverted in open air — bristles down, perfect airflow, no puddle and no drip tray — while the bowl nests into the base and the razor sits in its holder. One footprint, everything in its place, and an object people pick up and turn over trying to work out how it's made.

The suspension trick

Place the brush near the arch and it locks in — strong enough to hold, easy to pull off with one hand. It dries bristles-down in open air, so there's no damp-bristle smell and nothing to wipe up.

What's included

Teak throughout

Base, bowl and brush handle are all solid teak, so the kit matches from end to end. Teak is dense with natural oils that resist moisture — golden-brown tones, a straight even grain, and centuries of maritime heritage in a wood built for wet environments. It is why we build these kits in it.

Natural timber means natural variation: grain and colour differ from piece to piece, so no two kits are quite alike. If you have a preference for grain or colouring, get in touch and we'll do our best to match it.

Choose your scent

Your artisan soap is handmade with coconut oil in the Southern Highlands. Pick the scent that suits you — or the person you're gifting it to.

Why this kit

• Premium badger brush — the one most people wish they'd bought first. Dense enough for serious lather, soft enough for daily comfort, with real backbone — without the price of silver tip. The knot comes from the traditional heartlands of wet-shaving — the UK, China and Germany — through suppliers we've worked with for over fifteen years, then set by hand here into a solid teak handle.
• Teak throughout — base, bowl and brush handle all in solid teak. Natural warmth, grain that's yours alone, character that develops over time.
• The suspension trick — the brush dries inverted in open air, so there's no puddle, no drip tray and no damp-bristle smell. Place it near the arch and walk away.
• One footprint — brush, bowl, razor and soap all organised on a single base. Clean counter, nothing scattered.
• Blades are personal — a double edge lets you pick your own blade, which is half the point of it. A small selection of brands comes in the kit so you can work out which one suits your face.
• Handmade in the Southern Highlands — designed and assembled by hand in NSW.

An unforgettable gift

This is the gift people remember. The suspended brush sparks the “how does that work?” double-take, the solid teak earns a second look, and the premium badger gets used every single morning long after the occasion has passed — a genuinely unique present for Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas. Every kit includes a QR code linking to a step-by-step guide, so even a first-time wet shaver is set up from day one.

Made in house, yours to keep going

The magic stand is our own design — drawn, made and assembled by hand here, one at a time. How it works stays with us. The soap is made and poured in the same workshop, right down to the labels on the tin. Because we own the whole process, nothing we make is a sealed throwaway — should you ever need a replacement part, or even want a component modified to suit you, that's entirely possible. Just get in touch.

Questions, answered

How does the brush hang upside down?

Place the brush near the arch and it locks into place — strong enough to hold securely, easy enough to pull off with one hand. No hook, no clip, no visible mechanism. It's magic. You'll have to see it to believe it.

Does the base, bowl and brush handle all match?

Yes — the kit is teak throughout, so base, bowl and brush handle share a consistent look and grain family.

What's the difference between this and the Luxury Magic Kit?

Brush grade and fragrance. The Luxury Kit upgrades the brush to Silver Tip — the finest grade of badger — and adds a 30ml eau de parfum matched to your soap.

Is assembly required?

Minimal. The arch fastens into the base in about 30 seconds. Everything else sits or clicks into place.

Is this a good gift?

It's one of the most impressive things we make — the suspended brush gets the reaction, the timber craft gets the respect, and the premium badger earns its place every morning.
