"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!

Shopped around and Classicshaving had the best all around prices. Razor I purchased was exactly as described. The blades are ever so sharp so take your time when using - they are definitely not like the cheap throw-away razors. Will be back to buy more.

Avoid USPS at all costs. I could have walked there to pick it up myself in the time my razor has sat in LA.

Thank you for taking the time to review our website on TrustPilot. Oftentimes when the tracking information is stagnant, the package is actually sitting in the country's Customs office, waiting for payment of fees. If you ever have any questions about shipping, please feel free to contact our customer service team, we're always happy to help.
I've been a long time customer. As always, my purchases arrived on time and in good condition. There is a reason I keep coming back. You have really good service.

What's happening Classicshaving? My first experience with you guys was my introduction to wet shaving. Your honesty, humor, equipment and instructional video changed my whole shaving experience. I thank you. Wesley

I read about classicshaving's products on a website which, in hindsight was worded more as a sales pitch than objective advice on male hygiene. Nevertheless, I was inspired to try it, in the hopes that it would provide a better shave than the evil disposable razor industry which aforementioned site railed against- that's not how *real* men shave, right? Well, 100 or so dollars later, I can say that though I tried my best to want to love it, there is nothing to love. Sorry, maybe one thing- I didn't cut myself with the razor. Perhaps that's why it's called a safety razor. But I digress. I used the razor a total of three times. The first day was passable- I wasn't quite sure how to use it (meaning concoct the soap) so I was a bit more forgiving. The result wasn't horrible, anyways. The second and third attempts left a hideous black cloud of stubble, and by this point I knew how to mix the soap so I was...upset. No matter how many times I brushed the disappointingly thin and pathetic soap over my face (with a brush that sheds like a dog) and applied the razor, I could not get a satisfyingly close shave. Oh, and the refuse to accept used items for a refund. Please tell me, then, how I was supposed to know that your products are more or less first-rate rubbish without opening the box and trying them?

We appreciate you taking the time to write an interesting review. There is a bit of a sales pitch to explain the benefits of wet-shaving to the uninitiated. The customer service team is always there to help talk you through lathering, brush care, razor variances, and techniques. If you have any questions or difficulties please call or contact us at [email protected]. It is rare that we have had hair shedding with the super badger brush after the break-in period. The razor does take a bit of practice to get the hang of, sometimes just changing the style of blades can change the way a razor shaves remarkably. Unfortunately it is a health code issue that we, and other shaving product companies, have to deal with regarding returning used personal hygiene items.
Prompt proccessing and shipping, good product, no problems.

I recently purchased a safety razor after living with electric and disposable razors all my life. Best thing I ever did.
