"Buy less, choose well, make it last." -Vivienne Westwood We are inspired by the earth and its interconnected inhabitants. We are inspired by well-made tools and intentional living. All of us at ClassicShaving.com feel that the daily ritual of shaving is a time of quiet, thoughtful, almost zen-like privacy and contemplation. We believe that a task we'll perform thousands of times in life, is an opportunity for mindfulness and the chance to witness our impact on the earth. We have customers who have transformed their lives by switching to this classic method of shaving. In a world that moves and changes so quickly, it is a powerful choice to shave slowly and deliberately with a straight razor or safety razor. When using a straight razor all one needs is an artisan blade, an American-made leather strop (for maintaining the blade) a brush and soap, and the skills to use them. After the initial setup, the only waste created during the daily shave is soap bubbles down the drain. When using a safety razor the only waste is the little rectangular blade which can easily be recycled. There are three great reasons to switch to wet shaving; to save your face, your pocketbook and our planet. Make the switch today!

Tried the Sharpening service. The razor returned the same way I sent it. Could not shave with it before I sent it down and could not shave with it when I got it back

We believe that the owner of the company has contacted you regarding your razor, we hope to resolve the situation to your satisfaction.
I have used Classic Shaving before. I continue to shop with them because the products are first rate, the shipping is accurate. I'm in my 60's, and have used brush and shaving soap since I started cutting off whiskers. The products from Classic Shaving seem to represent the best quality for the most reasonable prices. Carry on-job well done .

Thank you so much! We're proud you choose us to serve your wet shaving needs!
I have always been a bit of an antique compared to most of my friends, being taught many of my gentleman skills by my grandfather. Shaving being one of them, he taught me at a young age to use and respect a straight razor, this site has been a lifesaver having quick access to everything from stropes to shaving soaps. The only negative I can see is their points system, I do not need to constantly purchase new razors so it is hard to gain points buying soaps every month and a half and strops every year and a half.....at most I'll save up $5 in two years. Not much of a reward for return customers.

Did you know you can also earn reward points by writing product reviews on the site? We've got a few other ideas in the works too! Thank you for the feedback!
The product quality is excellent! Very impressed that the descriptions fit what I receive. The only issue for me is the length of time it takes from actually ordering to receiving.

International First Class does seem to take a really long time for some reason, we do our best to offset this by shipping next day, when possible. We're glad you are happy with your order, thank you for the review!
All of my orders have been fulfilled accurately and delivered quicker than expected. Product selection is vast and diverse. Sales provide an opportunity to stockpile essentials.

That's a smart way to shop! Thank you for the review!
Classic Shaving carries great products (I use Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream in various scents). They are reasonably priced and the order arrives promptly after being placed. What more can you ask for?

Thank you!
It's been several years since I placed an order from Classic Shaving. Amazon started selling quality shaving essentials and it was pretty easy to get stuff I needed from them. Recent events however have reminded me that Amazon isn't necessarily committed to playing nice with anyone, and places like Classic Shaving deserve to continue to exist. In addition to having a more readily available wider range of products I was looking for (different kinds of DE blades to sample), it was almost as fast to order from Classic Shaving, and I ended up spending a little less than I would have done from Amazon anyway. So yay!
