A '''shaving kit''' is a container holding scripted shaving implements and boxed, scented shaving soaps. Shaving kits were released at [[Spitfire 2015|The Spitfire]] in 5115 (2015) from the shop '''Shaver Me Timbers''', located at room 19143 and entered through a door with a red and white striped pole suspended above it. The shop was described as offering shaving supplies, specialty scented soaps, and fine-quality razors.

A complete kit, assembled with every implement and all ten soaps, contains seventeen items — six implements, ten boxed soaps, and a second shaving bowl.

== Contents of a complete kit ==

<pre>
In the shaving kit:
Containers [10]: a small teal box stamped with a silver knotwork design, a small
red box stamped with a fiery golden phoenix, a small purple box stamped with a
pair of plump black cherries, a small sea green box stamped with white-capped surf
waves, a small stormy grey box stamped with a blue lightning bolt, a small amber
box stamped with a large silver coin, a small simple white box, a small blue box
stamped with rose petals and lovage leaves, a small black box stamped with the
full moons of Elanith, a small green box stamped with a snow-frosted green apple
Special [7]: a compact platinum mirror, a nubby cloth, a leather strop, a folding
shaving razor, a tufty shaving brush, a white glass shaving bowl (2)
Total items: 17
</pre>

== The kit ==

=== Analyze ===

<pre>
You analyze the shaving kit and sense that the item is free from merchant
alteration restrictions.

You can tell that the kit is as light as it can get, but you might be able to
have a talented merchant deepen its pockets for you.
</pre>


== Implements ==


Water is required for use of the bowl and brush. The original release teaser shows a cup of clear fresh water among the kit's contents.

=== White glass shaving bowl ===

<pre>
You analyze the glass shaving bowl and sense that the item is largely free from
merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type
should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A white glass shaving bowl appears to be a shaving bowl used for holding shaving soap.
Closer inspection reveals that you can PUT or DROP soap IN the bowl.
Once filled and wetted down with water, a wet brush can be DIPPED or DROPPED IN
the bowl to create shaving lather.
</pre>

=== Tufty shaving brush ===

<pre>
You analyze the shaving brush and sense that the item is largely free from
merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type
should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A tufty shaving brush appears to be a shaving brush to be used with a filled
shaving bowl.
Closer inspection reveals that you can DIP the brush in water to wet it and in a
wet filled soap bowl to load the bristles with lather.
CLEANing the brush while holding some water should remove any dry lather.
</pre>

=== Folding shaving razor ===

<pre>
You analyze the folding shaving razor and sense that the item is largely free
from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item
type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A folding shaving razor appears to be a straight edge razor for shaving with.
Closer inspection reveals that you can OPEN and CLOSE the razor as well as CLEAN
it with a cloth.
PULLing it across your face should give you a freshly shaved experience, but only
temporarily.
</pre>

{| class="wikitable"
! Verb !! First person
|-
| OPEN || You unfold your folding shaving razor with a flick of your wrist, the handle in your palm balanced perfectly with the extended blade.
|-
| CLOSE || After depressing the blade lock, you snap the folding shaving razor's blade back into the handle with a practiced flick of your wrist.
|-
| CLEAN (while holding a cloth) || With care for your fingers, you gently buff the folding shaving razor's blade with your nubby cloth. Roundtime: 5 sec.
|}

=== Leather strop ===

<pre>
You analyze the leather strop and sense that the item is largely free from
merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type
should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A leather strop appears to be a strop used for sharpening shaving razors.
Closer inspection reveals that you can PUT the strop ON something like a barrel
to tether it.
RUBbing a razor ON the strop would probably give the razor a nice sharp edge.
</pre>


=== Nubby cloth ===

<pre>
You analyze the nubby cloth and sense that the item is largely free from merchant
alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should
not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A nubby cloth appears to be a cloth used for shaving.
Closer inspection reveals that you can RUB the cloth on your face to remove
shaving cream.
CLEANing a razor while holding the cloth would be a handy way to remove built-up
crud.
</pre>

{| class="wikitable"
! Verb !! First person
|-
| RUB || You wipe at your face with your nubby cloth.
|}

=== Compact platinum mirror ===

<pre>
You analyze the platinum mirror and sense that the item is largely free from
merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has
restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a Mirror. The mirror has a reflective surface, allowing you to see what
you look like.
The mirror supports both PEER and GAZE. You may alter it at will, but the noun
MUST remain "mirror".
</pre>


== Soaps ==

Each soap is a brick housed in its own small stamped box. The soap must be held in hand for SMELL to return its scent.
