I bought this for giggles -- I once had a similar Old Spice set many years ago, and remembered it fondly. It didn't fail me -- the soap smelled nice, though wasn't anything remarkable (if you want remarkable, see Col Conk), the brush was surprisingly good -- my eldest son confiscated mine. The mug is a classic that may one day hold coffee for me. Fun, inexpensive, and a great intro into the art of shaving with a mug and brush!

I saw the Burma shave brush selling for 4.99. Then I came across this little gift set for the same price. Brush, soap and mug all in a nice tin cannister. A great gift for that nostalgic person.

Gave it to my husband for his birthday and he loves it. The brush is really soft and nice and I was pleasantly suprised how good the soap smells. Would highly recommend.

When I saw an ad for the Burma shave mug and brush, I just knew I had to display it in the half bathroom in my home. Not only did I receive the mug and brush, but soap and a little brochure with memories of the signs displayed along the routes I used to travel as a child. And all in an attractive Burma Shave tin. These items can be viewed almost immediately upon entering the room. What a conversation piece! I look forward to hearing the comments I am sure to receive.

For a few bucks, this is a great deal. The brush won't last long, so if you are real brush and mug shaver, get a better product. If you are looking for a sentiment, a feeling--this is the real deal.

The brush is quite rough compared to the Van Der Hagen one (though, admittedly, my Van Der Hagen brush fell off the handle after about six months), and it's also a good bit smaller and doesn't seem to hold the soap as well. (They're about the same price; I'd go with the Van Der Hagen having tried both.)

Also, this doesn't have anything to do with the original Burma-Shave, other than having bought the brand: to quote Wikipedia: "Burma-Shave's own roadside signs frequently ridiculed "Grandpa's old-fashioned shaving brush.""

Great mug, great soap too actually. I re-knotted the brush with badger hair because the boars from Burma Shave just aren't my favorite. The mug is classy and hold pretty much and soap well and is deep and wide enough not to engulf your fingers in lather. The tin was an unexpected bonus as far as quality too!

When your father says how his dad shaved like that.

This kit is a perfect way to just slow down and put in the time to get a great feeling shave.

I've had this kit for almost a year and the soap is still good. For a guy like me who hangs around nerds with poor grooming standards, this kit makes you shave right. Believe me the ladies notice.

i bought this for the novelty of it, i remember growing up seeing the last few of the burma shave signs along peoples farms, i think it was well after burma shave was gone. so i bought this just to see, honestly i like the set, but using shave soap just isnt for me, i like my gillette better

Very nice fine quality materials, eye appealing. Will be used as display only.
Fantastic price. I remember the sings along the highway years back. Burma-Shave.
