"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 received the TOBS sandalwood & Fine brand aftershave promptly in brand new condition without a hitch. I recently had my straight razor sharpened using their services and just got it back today. Haven't had the chance to shave yet, but I am sure the blade will be super sharp and extremely efficient at removing those little stumps leaving no trace of beard behind.

Ordered the Parker travel razor and travel brush in anticipation of pending vacation plans. Received items promptly and in perfect condition. Put items through paces to see how they performed before actually needing them. Both items are high quality and worked as advertised. Like how compact and sturdy they feel. Very happy with this purchase.

Short review: Great company, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody, continue reading if you would like a more in-depth review... They have a great selection of shaving products and a decent amount of info to help you in selecting you shaving equipment, This can be needed as the choices can be overwhelming to someone who has only used cartridge razors. They ship very fast and securely and even if you don't have a large enough order to qualify for the free shipping, the flat rate shipping fee is very reasonable. Most of the items for sale are premium quality items and have a price to match but the prices are no higher tan most other merchants. They do offer some limited less than premium Items if you have a limited budget and do a very good job explaining the pros and cons of going premium vs. budget so you can make an informed choice. I am quite happy with my purchase and the items are at least the quality that I expected from the description(some are even better than I expected) . Their own brand or shaving soap(Classic Brand) is great, I only got the Fresh Lime scent so I cannot speak to the other scents but the scent is not subtle and pleasant. As to the quality, it suds up so quickly and nicely that the you hardly need to take any time to get a beautiful later, it is near instant(the fist time you use it takes some time but the subsequent times are fantastically quick) I don't see myself even trying any other shave soap, I can't imagine that any other brand would be better and most cost substantially more.

I placed an order for multiple items. One ended up being out of stock. The day after I got a call and they helped me order a similar product and shipped my order that day. I got it two days later. I'm happy with the products and service. I recently placed an order on another site. It's been 5 days and I have not heard about my order. I wish the were like CS.

Wonderful service and great razor
Jeffrey
Only critique I have was length of time to get razor back from servicing. I was without my straight edge razor for about a month. Otherwise, great job.
