"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!

Still waiting for my order.. Been about two weeks already since I ordered.

International first class can unfortunately take awhile. We see that the package was delivered in just over two weeks, and since Customs can technically hold packages up to 30 days, that actually isn't too bad! We did our best by shipping two days after the order was placed, and hope we can provide for your shaving needs in the future.

My safety razor arrived in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, the quality control on the razor wasn't too good, as one of the hinge arms on the butterfly closing mechanism was bent out, and one of the covers would pop out when closed. Took about sixty seconds of puzzling before I found the issue. A careful squeeze in a small vise fixed the issue. First shave was perfect. No issues at this point. Would have liked a better out-of-box experience, but everything worked out fine in the end.

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!

Sent in my Dovo razor to be professionally honed, but it was returned very dull. As in, "wouldn't shave a single hair" dull. Customer service responded promptly asking me to send it back in at their expense, but since the same guy is sharpening it again, I don't have high hopes. An explanation or an apology for the inconvenience would have been appreciated as well.

They have great products and I got my order quickly only problem is I did not get what I ordered. Sent an email they told me they would send the correct order out right away. I have not received the corrected order yet but it has only been a couple of days.
