"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!

The customer service representative that I spoke with was great. He was friendly and easy going. Very knowledgeable of his products and helpful in how to use them. His recommendations provided me with equipment that fit my needs perfectly.

Great help on the phone, a solid (though not comprehensive) variety of products. Competitive pricing, with promotional deals available that can represent relatively good buys. Shipping is not particularly expensive, but is not insignificant when compared to an Amazon Prime vendor. Website has quite a bit of functionality, but as with most tools that are more powerful than average, requires a little bit of learning. Overall, lower total prices are available with a little bit of patience and creative shopping on Amazon; but for those that prefer dealing with staff in real time, and don't mind paying a little more for service from an independent company, this is a very good option.

I have been using Classicshaving for many years for my shaving supplies. I have used a double edge razor for many years and found they had the best pricing around. You can't get the quality of shaving supplies from places like Wal-mart or a drug stores and with their new website shopping is much easier.

I have ordered from Classic Shaving several times and have called them for advice when I started shaving with my straight razor. Always helpful with top quality products. I highly recommend them to anyone.

The shaving cream is no great change from the canned aerosol. I expected a smoother shave....the brush is molting after two shaves, about 8-10 hairs have escaped, at this rate, it will be a cactus in a few months....I thought better brushes would be tougher.

We appreciate that you have placed an order and received it four days ago with Classic Shaving. For those new to wet shaving we suggest a short break-in period to get used to the new shaving paradigm. A new shaving brush will often have loose hairs that haven't been secured fully in the knot. Using the brush the first month a brush will shed the loose hairs, or giving a new brush a few quick combings will expedite this process. A brush isn't just an applicator it should be used to exfoliate and lift the whiskers. With an all natural shaving cream like Crown, just a very small bit will go a long way. Many small circles will prepare the skin, and soften the whiskers as the brush helps to hydrate and lift. With just a bit of practice wet shaving should become a time and money saving exercise. Thank you for your order, we look forward to serving you future shaving needs!

I've ordered from Classic Shaving two times now. The first order was for a Hart straight razor, Hart razor and brush stand, and quite a few other random small things. I had a bit of a mix up because I wanted to return the razor and stand because I didn't like the cocbolo wood, and that all went smooth considering the stand didn't make it to me. The lady simply said they'd refund that to me when they got the razor, so that was great with me. No big deal. Classic has pretty good prices and an average selection. I say average because it seems like all online wet shaving supply stores have the same problem: they can't keep their stuff in stock very well. That's also why I gave four stars and not five. I'd just like to see Classic or another store grow their selection of straight razors, specifically, as well as all other hardware, and keep everything in stock. I understand it's hard to keep up with demand when they aren't the manufacturer, but I wish they could improve a bit!
