Shaving Cloth

Today I am going to give you a free pattern for a "shaving cloth".  I have two sons; they are twins.  Monday, December 7th is their birthday.  They will be 32 years old.  Where does the time go?

I also have 5 grandsons.  I am always on the look out for men/boys crochet.  There isn't as much for men as there is for women.

As a child I used to watch my father shave.  He would fill the sink with steaming hot water, lather up his shaving brush and shave with a double edged razor.  When he was done he always had a fresh clean wash cloth to wipe up the lather from his face and neck.  My Dad has been gone now for 35 years; I miss him everyday.  Quite some time ago my Mum gave me the razors that my Dad used to use.  I tucked them away never using them. 

I have been looking in the stores for a shaving mug and soap and the brushes that my Dad used to use.  I have finally found them on Amazon at a fairly reasonable price.  I dug out the razors and ordered the shaving kits for my boys.  I think that they will appreciate having their Grandfather's razors even though he didn't live long enough to ever meet his grandchildren.  I got out some Peaches 'n Creme cotton and designed this shaving cloth to go with the shaving kit.
