Why classic men's shaving kit bag make a good gift

It gets used every day at home and on trips, so it doesn't end up in a closet.
Leather and waxed canvas versions tend to age well and often look better with wear.
It's easy to make more personal by tucking a razor, shave soap or aftershave inside.

What to look for

Check that the inside is tall enough for aftershave bottles and shaving cream cans to stand upright.
Look for a water-resistant lining that wipes clean after a leaky bottle or wet razor.
Check the zipper quality and whether the bag opens wide enough to see everything inside.
