"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!

All of the mid range Merkur safety razors were out of stock. As if they did not even carry the product line? Settled for the Parker 80R which was offered and found to be well reviewed by other buyers. Will see if it is as good as the Merkur brand. Disappointed in the selection available.

I ordered a straight razor with professional honing and expected it too be shave ready after a good stroping it was dull they didn't put a fine enough edge on it to shave with

The apothecary bowl is not wood its plastic very disappointing. The whole point to going to this type of shaving is to get away from the plastic.

I thought the website was very easy to use but it seemed like everything that I wanted to purchase was out of stock. If I could my top picks in shaving products I would have rated 5 stars...

For years I was a faithful customer of Classic Shave giving all my business to the company. One day as I was trying to reach one of your representatives, I overheard a negative comment when my name was mentioned. It was "oh no"! Since then, I have found other companies which appreciate my business and are very customer oriented. Also, I ordered this time because it was a Birthday Gift Certificate that my friend gave me. As far as products, you may want to expand your selection of foreign brands which there are many good ones out there!

I just had my straight razor sharpened (done in n. Plam springs ca) and it came back no where near as good as when the sharpening was done back east. While it is sharper, it drags and pulls causing a less than enjoyable shave

Ordered some blades for my safety razor. Found the selection I wanted, but the shipping felt slow. With the shipping choice I made (USPS), and the size of the package, I expected the order to be at my residence within a few days. It wasn't. Not saying anything other than I expected my package sooner.

The order was placed on Saturday the 3rd, shipped on the 6th, and delivered on the 8th. Not too shabby for still being in the holiday season! We hope the blades worked out for you!
