"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 ordered numerous straight razors from this site and had my razors honed by them as well. The razors have all been great quality and the honing has always been impeccable. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ordered my straight razor set on Saturday and it came on Wednesday! Super fast service and came in great condition! Just a little stropping and my first shave went as smooth as expected. The soap smells great and the brush is superb quality. WDBWA

Classic Shaving kept in contact with me in regards to my order, provided promo codes to entice me to order, had a nice selection of items, and the package arrived well packed with everything protected from shipping. I will shop Classic Shaving again.

With the many choices that they have, it would be hard not to find something that would meet your needs.

The Merkur HD 43C Heavyweight Stainless Steel Safety Razor is worth every dollar, no wonder there is a waiting list for the razor. Simply let the weight of the razor do its job. Keep your thumb and index finger under the base of the blade and the handle rest in the palm with the fingers wrapped and your in business. I also ordered the Merkur Double SS Platinum Blades and they are super sharp with a fine edge. Also I use the Proraso Pre Shave Cream (Original with Eucalyptus and Menthol). Combine these products with a fine badger brush and a lavatory of hot shaving water and enjoy. My son in law loved it and ordered his own. The key is: "Don't press the razor to the skin". Lather up and shave twice the opposite direction for a really close shave. Enjoy.

Third order with ClassicShaving and they continue to impress. The products are of excellent quality and they are reasonably priced. I never pay for expedited shipping because it always gets the my house quick enough with their normal process. I think the reviews on the products themselves are valuable as well. When choosing, it is always good to get a few opinions on the quality, etc.

My boyfriend loved the kit I surprised him with. I am definitely pleased with the quick shipping and product availability.
