I recently got the Art of Shaving 4 Elements Kit on account of its promises to revolutionize the shaving experience and though it reeks of unabashed metrosexuality,  I have to say it works.  It has four parts, pre-shave oil, shaving cream with a genuine badger shave brush and  aftershave lotion.  The pre-shave oil helps the razor glide over your face like a White House press secretary over facts.  Lathering with the badger brush lifts the hairs for a closer shave while simultaneously transporting you back to a simpler time when men were men and women were dames.  The after shave is alcohol free and scentless so you won’t smell like an  Iroc-driving guido.  For the razor itself, it’s tough to beat the Gillette multi-blade feat  of technological superiority you are probably already using.  The MSRP for the kit is $100 which is a lot, but they can be had on E-Bay for about half that.
