The Observance is a one-of-one shaving set handcrafted from reclaimed skateboard veneers and individually composed hardwood laminations. The set includes a safety razor, AAA badger hair shaving brush, and matching handled accessory, displayed together on a polished chrome stand.
Across the three pieces, layers of reclaimed skateboard veneer are laminated, turned, and shaped to reveal shifting patterns of colour, hardwood, and exposed end grain. Each handle carries its own composition, while the repeated materials and sculpted forms create a shared visual language across the complete set.
Designed as functional objects for everyday use, each component is individually constructed, turned, shaped, sanded, and finished by hand. Together, the three pieces form a collected composition that transforms a familiar daily routine into a more deliberate experience.
Variations in grain, colour, veneer placement, and laminated pattern are inherent to the materials and are part of the character of each piece.
