Two heads are better than one, right? Baxter of California thinks so, and their Double Edge Safety Razor has attracted a bunch of converts. "They don’t make ’em like they used to" is something you hear a lot from your parents and cantankerous grandpa, but that saying certainly doesn’t apply to this old-time inspired razor. Now, BOC is upping the ante with a badger hair shave brush and stand—the brand’s first-ever shave set.

The handles on the razor and brush are made from brass and plated with nickel, then polished to a shiny finish. To add to the vintage feel, they’re engraved with a pattern mimicking the classic barbershop pole, a sure sign that you’re gonna get a close shave. Making its debut today, the set makes a great gift for any man with a nostalgic eye to the past, or a worthy splurge for your own grooming arsenal.

Baxter of California Double-Edged Safety Razor Set, $250, available today at baxterofcalifornia.com.
