I was actually impressed with this product. Some of the other reviews are a little negative about the overall packaging and quality of the product and I can see why. For $60 I would've expected the overall product to be a little heavier and a little sturdier, but if you can get past that it actually works really well! Some people complained about how the razor doesn't lock into place and so are the blade can shift around. All you have to do is tighten down the handle a little more and for me it's been holding in place just fine. The bad your hairbrush was super cool, but the picture is a little deceiving. I wasn't able to get a shaving of lather like what they show in the picture but I was able to make a sudsy/ soapy mixture That spread onto my face just fine. By using warm water it opens up the pores on your face and makes the shaving part much smoother and much more comfortable. Altogether it was actually pretty cool taking a few extra minutes to perfect my shaving routine and I'm not gonna lie this is hands-down the closer shave I've ever given myself.

I greatly enjoy everything in this, especially for a starter pack. The soap was easy to work into a lather and although the scent was not very distinguished it left my skin smooth and without issue during shave. The blades are good (I ended up getting a sampler pack to see what else is out there but these blades are great as is for my type of facial hair). The handle is sturdy, easy to use and clean, and just great! Stand is sturdy and just looks nice. I used the brush for a few months and recently got another one. The brush is fine but it did shed a decent amount (used roughly 12 times), and is not the softest. It is a nice handle and absolutely served it's purpose of hooking me into DE razor shaving haha. Great package and gift! Would recommend.

This is my first time using a safety razor. I used regular Gillette Fusion 5 blades for the longest time. Pretty much between 4 and 5 blade razors. So this was something new to try out. The razor is kind of small. I am 5'6" so I am not a big guy. I will end up getting a longer one. The blades that came with it didn't seem too sharp so I ordered feather ones and I also ordered van de Hagen blades. I'll probably update this review when I try those blades out. Overall, the soap that comes with the kit and the shaver itself seem pretty nice for a starter kit. It also came with a travel bag. I have a travel bag already so that did not matter to me. Oh, the soap smells pretty good too. The wife likes it. Lol! But the razor seems easy to use, it was a nice shave, but i think i can get a closer shave with a better blade. I'll let you all know. I like this type of shave over using the Gillette fusion and other regular shavers. If you are new to using this type of razor and soap and stuff. Here's a tip, clean the brush in warm water, just the bristles of the brush. Rub it out in the palm of your hand so you get all the loose bristles out before your first use. Then dry it out a bit, then rub it on the soap bar with it in your other hand, use a tiny bit of water on the brush and rub it around the soap, that is how you will get a good lather from the soap. Took me a minute to figure that out. Lol! All in all, this is a decent starter kit. Just pay attention to the length of the razor itself. I dont like the short handle one.

What a better shave. Our grandfather's new what they were doing when the shaved with a like product. The single blade and shaving soap creates and excellent shave. Suggest looking up the best waybto shave your face. Not everyone face is the same, learn your face and best way to shave.

I decided to buy this for my boyfriend for many reasons.... he has combo skin. **Very** oily yet gets tons of dry patches. Gets them in his beard if he grows it out even just a little bit.. also gets them on his head. And he doesn't have dandruff his skin just gets flakey. All over.

He always got razor bumps when he shaved with "regular" razors. In general his face gets red easily and he gets dry patches. He doesn't have "acne-acne" but usually has at least *one* type of pimple/zit..... the kind where as long as he gets really good sleep where his body is truly replenished? The one or two pimples he gets will go away. So non of his pimples are ever actually the kind that need popped intensely.. they are more just like big red bumps. So razor bumps.. and then red pimple-esc bumps. Let's just say his skin is sensitive.

I'd also like to mention I heard of this style of men's "full kit safety razor" from the brand "Bevel" at first.... and once I looked them up here on amazon... *this* brand came up. And I saw this even had better reviews than the Bevel brand. It's also cheaper than Bevel's. So I went with this one. But I did end up buying him Bevel's "Priming Oil" and "Restoring Balm" for before and after my boyfriend uses *this* brands' razor kit. Just wanted to add that in incase the products are also helping with his results...

So my boyfriend has only used this razor twice now.... a few days apart.... and NO RAZOR BUMPS!!!!! ***BUT***, he has nicked himself a lot with this razor. (I guess people say this style of razor and every day "run of the mill" razors are a trade off).... people say the regular razors you can buy at drug stores are "just perfectly made now a days.. they are made to be perfect, so you can't get much better than how they are today in age". But the only downfall to those types of razors are the price from constantly paying for new attachment heads. But with this style of razor? The safety razor? It's cheaper... but it takes more time, more accuracy and patience... and like I said my boyfriend cut himself a bunch. And he is 32 years old so let's just say he knows his way around a regular razor enough to not cut himself for many years now, lol.

So basically I'd just say this razor takes some time to getting used to. I noticed another review mentioned how this style of razor is more of an "art" rather than a "chore". And I liked that. This set makes everything more fun and boujee.

I genuinely think (and my boyfriend even said this himself) that maybe after 10 times of using it he won't cut himself anymore..... but he's mostly happy that he doesn't have any razor bumps!!!

All I'm saying is it's DEFINITELY worth a try at least..... especially since everyone is different, face shape and face sensitivity..... "you never know unless you try". And it's definitely worth it in my opinion cause it could be someone's "holy grail" while it's someone else's "dumb worthless razor".

I'd also like to add there are YouTube videos and even a "How To" short video on Bevel's amazon listing of their set.... I think that helped my boyfriend so I recommend watching it. Shows you how to accurately use the shaving stuff with the brush and how it's supposed to exfoliate your skin before shaving.. so I recommend that if you've never used this style of razor before!

I hope this helped!!!!
