Student Chad Kirsebom has created the ultimate packaging for his fictional shaving brand, [KEEN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jasper-zionics).

The packaging box is a simple idea. A crate box filled with a [straight blade razor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supplys-max-razor), leather sharpening strop, silver tip badger hair shaving brush, a shaving cream soap bar, and a mug -- the kit has everything a man would need. His design, though, is what makes this [shaving cream set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-shaving-products) stand out from others.

On Lovely Package, Chad Kirsebom explained his goal with his work: "I wanted KEEN to be seen as more of a modern company but with historic roots. Old fashion style with strong typographical design elements. I wanted their image to come of as clean and crisp as there product would leave your face.”

The boxed set is the perfect depiction of classic design.
