About this pattern

The two tools of a barber's wet shave: an open straight razor and a shaving brush. The razor's steel blade lies level across the top, a darker gray spine above a pale gray face, with a blunt rounded nose at the right. Its long red handle swings down and away to the lower left from a gold pin, with a second gold pin near its end. Under the blade stands the brush: upright bristles in dark and mid gray with white tips, fanning out above a gold band and a turned red handle. The brush mirrors left to right, and the two tools do not touch. Dark brown outline. No lettering.

43 stitches wide by 32 high: 586 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Light Steel Gray 318 and 4 more).
