under $50. I usually try to take something that i try to steal. Any good websites or recommendations for cool guy gifts that no one else will have. I hate the lazy 17ers that bring the flashlight or walmart gift cards!! At least if i don't take it home there'll be some dirty play.

I’m a fan of a random assortment of scratch off lottery tickets. Buy at least one $10 ticket, several $5 tickets, and then $2 and $1 tickets. Most people I know have never been dumb enough to buy the $10 and $5 ones but they will fight to get them for free. Plus everyone watches as they are scratched off when the game is done.

Not to completely hijack the thread

But I was only referring to the shaving cream, not the razors. What else have you used that you liked better than AoS? I haven't bought anything in a long time, but I was previously on the premium shaving kick as well

IMO the best "high end" cream is Taylor of Old Bond Street. I prefer their avocado version (it's virtually scent free so you won't smell like guac). To me it provides the best shave. It's gotta be the avocado oil.

If you have soft water, Mitchell's Wool Fat is fantastic. Their shave soaps are reasonably priced but they charge a premium for their bowls. So buy a cheap soap dish on amazon/ebay.

For a shaver...anything made by Merkur. This classic will last a lifetime. I actually use the long handle version.

As for razors, that depends on your beard type and skin sensitivity. I prefer Feather and Persona Red razors. I buy a 100 pack that lasts longer than a year for around $20. I wouldn't recommend either of those for first timers. Feather blades could cut a diamond.

As for brushes, I got an el cheapo from an old drug store years ago. I'd like to upgrade it but I haven't gotten around to it. Anything made from badger will work. Lots of people like the Edwin Jagger stuff though.

As for where to get them, I get 90% of my stuff from Amazon. Sometimes West Coast Shaving has sales that are worth waiting on too.

Hmmmm, Bourbon! Is there anything else. I usually do a pint of woodsford or makers, but for 50 you could easily do a fifth.

To go the economy route on a gift start saving now for next year. Saving your toenails that is. My dad did that to an uncle. Saved all his toenail clipping for a year and wrapped them up at christmas.
