"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 got a shaving soap bowl delivered to my house, but the bowl was crushed during shipping. Classic shaving sent me a second one to make up for the first right away free of charge. Nice to see they follow through and stand by their product

Although limited shopping will not allow for a full review but ordered some Fine Aftershave twice both times bottles arrived safely and in a timely manner.

Very easy to place my order, and to pay...I opted for check, and unlike more vendors were you input your info as an e-check, here I mailed it in, and still my product got to me quickly. The items were exactly as they were described on the website. But I ordered wrapping paper and never got it. Customer service was great, and credited my account, but would have been nice to get the fancy wrapping paper instead of the neon paper I had laying around, since it was for my boyfriend and my anniversary. But, hey, it's not the wrapper that counts.

If you're new to wet-shaving, then ClassicShaving.com is the site to visit first. Their site has designated areas for beginning shavers, intermediate shavers, and advanced shavers. This differs from other shaving sites that do not segment their razors based on skill level. If you're new to wet-shaving, it is easy to be overwhelmed by all of the products and most likely will purchase a razor not suited to your skill level. At ClassicShaving.com, it's as if someone is taking you by the hand and showing you what you need to get started. The offer many razors from quality manufacturers, many styles, and even have their own line of razors built to their specifications. The photos of the products are high-quality and allow users to view a close-up portion of the image... which is nice if you're trying to see detail. Their customer service is first rate and very helpful. They respond to questions in a reasonable time frame and ship orders promptly. My experience with ClassicShaving.com is a very positive one. I would recommend them to anyone interested in man's grooming products without hesitation.

I've ordered shaving soap--classic brand--about every six months it seems, after buying the whole 9 yards to get started with wet shaving, and the prices go up while the size of the soap gets increasingly smaller. These little rounds are laughably tiny---so, I get it, everybody's got to make ends meet. But this is disappointing. I doubt I'll order from classic shaving again.

Thank you for your feedback regarding our soaps. We see from the one order you have placed with us in the last year that you ordered our scuttle soaps. These soaps are our smallest size soaps and rounded on the bottom to accommodate shave bowls with rounded bottoms. The molds and the prices for our soaps have not changed since at least April 2009. If you ever have any questions about what soap size will best fit your receptacle, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team! We are always happy to help.

I would buy from these guys again. There was an issue with my order and someone from customer service called me and we worked it out over the phone. The products are very high quality.

I recently bought three quality straight razors from Classic Shaving. I made a mistake on one order. After notifying customer service by email about the problem, they immediately revised the order. The razors arrived as promised and appeared to be as advertised. My only complaint is that so many products on the website are listed as "out of stock". This must be frustrating to many potential customers. Other than that, I've had a good experience.

So much faster and less of a hassle than the competition. They shipped within an hour of my order and my order was just as I expected.
