High Quality Shaving Set - WAS an Excellent Value (But is no Longer)
By Jay Gerak
I have shaved with a shaving brush & soap for a couple of years now, until recently using a low-end (plastic) Burma-Shave shaving brush to make up my morning lather. After surfing many internet sites, I found this one to be be the best value in terms of style, (presumed) quality and cost. (Some comparable sets go for $150 - $200!) When I received it, I knew I had made a great decision as to the cost/value of my purchase. The brush and razor handles, cup and stand are all very high quality nickle-plated steel. The brush and razor handle are solid metal, which provide considerable heft. The badger bristles on the brush are quite fine and work up a good lather quickly. The razor handle is compatible with a Gillette Mach 3 Razor (my preferred brand). The shaving soap that accompanies the set is passable, but I prefer to use my favorite - Lightfoot's Pure Pine-Scented Soap (that I obtained elsewhere). If you like to shave "the old fashioned way" like I do, this is a luxurious way to do it (without breaking the bank).UPDATE (July 2010): When I reviewed this item in 2004, it cost less than 1/2 of its current price, and about 50% less than most similar items. While it is still a great item, I am hard-pressed to justify paying $179 for it today.

By A. Favre
I started looking at shave sets after reading articles in various health magazines. Other shaving sites may offer shave sets, but this, by far, is the best quality I have seen for the price. The brush, stand, and razor have considerable heft to them as well as an attractive appearnce and shine. The only item lacking in this kit may be the included shave soap. However, the money saved can easily be spent on premium shave soaps, oils, and other items from other shaving supply sites. I also noticed that I sometimes knocked the shave brush out of the stand. With a brush of this heft, you will definately notice when it hits your vanity top!!!The appearance is very traditional, but is also quite attractive and the cartidges used are the ever popular Gillette Mach 3.Bottom line: If you want to purchase an entire shave set for what you would pay for a similar quality badger brush on another site, this is the kit for you. There is little to dissapoint.

By Doc R.
My husband was shopping for a badger shaving brush and I purchased this set as a birthday gift. He has used it daily for the past year and said the brush is excellent -- the right size, shape and weight for his hand. He also likes the accessories which would have had to have been purchased individually. It is an elegant design and functions well. A good buy.
