"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!

Been shaving with safety razors my whole life and recently lost my razor my father gave me when I was young. Stumbled upon this site looking for a replacement and am I glad I did. Great products,great customer service and Great shaves from my new safety razor

I learned to shave with one of these razors and it's a real pleasure to be back to shaving the way I learned with the same razor I used back in the day.

Honestly, they have been very helpful from the start. I purchased an 1892 Wade Butcher Wedge at an antique store for 100 dollars. It needed alot of work, including honing and scales. I did all the restoration myself but they put beautiful Hart Steel scales on it and Dylan Farnham found an edge on my 100+ year straight blade! Definitely will be using them for any/everything straight blade related.

Quick shipping. Everything as I ordered.

My husband loves it :) It holds water nicely and works up a great lather and so far (been using daily for 12 days) there is a little bristle fall out, but not much. For the price he definitely recommends it as a great shaving brush.

I have to admit that when compaired to (external reference) and (external reference), Classic Shave's selection of products is a little limited. However the products that they do offer come from well established, reputable companies. No terrible gimik products like "Dr. Carver's Shave Butter" here. Classic Shave is about more than just wet-shaving, they are the one-stop source for all of your bath & shower, hair care, men's personal grooming and hygiene needs. Classic Shave's products are both high quality and practical, but what I like the most is that they can keep the cost down. Many of the products offered by Classic Shave are less expensive than similar or identical products offered by competing companies. Some of the other reviews I read rated Classic Shave poorly because of slow shipping, while I have not experienced that personally, please bear in mind that shipping speed is an issue with the courier company and not the shave company.

For years I was a faithful customer of Classic Shave giving all my business to the company. One day as I was trying to reach one of your representatives, I overheard a negative comment when my name was mentioned. It was "oh no"! Since then, I have found other companies which appreciate my business and are very customer oriented. Also, I ordered this time because it was a Birthday Gift Certificate that my friend gave me. As far as products, you may want to expand your selection of foreign brands which there are many good ones out there!
