"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!

I have nothing bad to say for Classic Shaving. I entrusted my 50+ year old Boker King Cutter 5/8 straight razor to them to polish and hone. The results were beyond what I was expecting. With no stropping straight from the wax paper wrapping one pass on each stroke. Definitely earned this barbers' life long business.

I reviewed Occam's Razor on the Classic Shaving website a number of days ago. The review was only 2 star on their new razor and they did not post this review on their website. I can only assume they only post favorable reviews which misleads the customer into buying a razor that has only good reviews. For those people who want to buy from this website, be careful of the reviews. They only post what they want you to see. Update March 6, 2018 They have now posted the review. They did make a comment back to me on my suggestion that they provide the buyer with an opportunity to buy a case for the razor. They suggested that the paper case that they shipped the razor be used. Anyone know that paper breaks down with small amounts of water over a period of time. It seems like a rather silly statement made by the company.

Always excellent to work with. Fast shipping and great packaging. They took the time to call me to verify the stand I ordered was for my current razor or the razor I just ordered. Saved me a non functional stand and switched it out... Thank you.

I love the product, but getting anyone's attention can be problematic. First - my order got lost and I waited 10 days. Second, I've tried to call and reach someone, but the phone rings on one line and no one returns call on the other. Pray for an amazing product or you'll be stuck with a very expensive items that can't be sharpened or fixed.

I purchased a razor/brush stand from this online vendor, but discovered upon receiving the package that my Dorco razor handles are too wide for the stand. I rewrapped the brand-new, never-used stand so I could return it. The website has NO information on return policies, so I emailed to ask how to initiate a return. The response was a curt email stating that they give no refunds, and a link to their 'policy' that is nowhere on the actual site navigation, only via the link you get from them AFTER the sale. What is most pathetic is the email comes from "customerservice@" which is a complete oxymoron! Customer service usually means providing a reasonable refund policy, not taking the customer's money and then thumbing your nose!

They lost my case that goes with my straight razor which was extremely disappointing. The razor also came back drenched in oil saturating the scales and everything, dripping oil like they dipped my straight razor in a quart of oil. All in all, I had an extremely sloppy experience which is exactly what you don't want for your straight razor. I would give them zero stars if I could. SERVICE YOU CANNOT TRUST is a service you should never use. Don't invest in regret.

This was to be my first purchase with Classic Shaving. Placed my order 1 September and the order still shows unfulfilled with my $340.94 showing paid. Sent several emails with absolutely no response from them. It has been almost 2 weeks with their head in sand. Extremely poor business ethics.

The product I received was exactly as it was shown in the photo and that to me is very important and I would like to add that the delivery was quite fast as well. Thanks
