Classic Shaving Sets For Men Are A Great Gift
A classic gift for any man in your life is shaving sets for men that they will love. It may not be the first idea for the guy in your life but the plain fact is that shaving sets are really cool. They are classic and define a bathroom in a retro sophisticated way.
Electric razors have their place but there is nothing like a close shave by a real razor. A shaving set gives you all the tools you need to do this. The designs of the sets are beautiful in design and add a touch of class to any bathroom. Even if it is never used, which it will be used, it looks great.
Most shave sets come with a nicely designed stand that coordinates with the razor and the mug brush that hangs on the stand. Some sets come with a mug bowl that matches the razor and the brush; others do not and can be purchased separately. There are some other classic sets that come with a mug cup just like the old fashioned barbers used to use.
There is a set that matches any d?cor. They come in wood frames, steel, gold plated and ivory. There are even bone and marble sets that are beautiful. A country looking bathroom or French provincial will be enhanced by a wooden or gold set. And a sleek modern room will look sharp with a sleek silver or platinum set.
It’s very green to use a shave set. You can put away the razor for travel or give it away and get a clean close shave and help save the planet. You won’t be having the electrical charging of energy with an electric razor and you will be doing your part while getting an awesome shave with the double edged blades.
Shaving sets start around twenty five dollars and go all the way up to two hundred and fifty dollars. The medium range price is around fifty to sixty dollars. You can find them at most stores and specialty shops. You can also find them online with very good description and pictures that describe them in detail.
Shaving sets for men are a classic gift for that special guy and is a wonderful addition to any bathroom to bring a provincial style to your home. Get green and get the man in your life a shaving set and green up the earth to get him a close shave.

Excellent when you know how to use it properly., October 26, 2009
I received this set as a gift not too long ago, and have to say that I’m extremely satisfied with it.
I’d also like to address some complaints that I saw other people listed with this set. 1) The biggest complaint that I’ve noticed is people commenting that the razor handle was too short, and at first I was of the same persuasion. After a bit of use though, and researching how to use it properly, I learned that holding it by the tip made it so that you don’t use any extra pressure than the weight of the razor (which is something that you definitely don’t want to happen). And so, with proper holding, the shorter handle allows for better control over the razor without having to choke up on it. 2) Someone mentioned that the soap was too tough and they had to cut it up to use. With proper brush technique (wetting the soap, the brush, letting it soak for a minute), this is absolutely not the case. All Col. Conk soaps that I have tried have lathered up quite nicely and easily.
Learning to use the set well is what will make it great. For this, I highly recommend checking out [...] if you are unfamiliar with safety shaving.

A lost art…, September 26, 2009
All I can say is ‘WOW’.
I, like so many others, have never had the opportunity to know the world of double-edge shaving until recently – and being only 31 years old, I have never had the pleasure to have experienced that perfect ‘barbershop shave’ so many men talk about. A friend at work told me about the ‘great’ experience he had shaving with his new DE razor and he showed me some youtube videos on the subject. After some thought I went ahead and ordered this package to see what the fuss was about.
!WOW!
It was definately the closest, most comfortable shave I have EVER had. Instead of the supplied soap I use a C.O.BIGELOW shave cream made by Proraso. A word of WARNING – I watched nearly ALL of the ‘wet-shaving’ videos on youtube by mantic59 several times before attempting to shave with this razor for the first time. After you install the first blade and bring that sharp, naked, unrelenting edge to your face, you will be glad you have the knowledge that the youtube videos provided.
I normally have a goatee and shave only my cheeks and neck. I wanted to put this razor to the ultimate test so I did not shave for nearly 2 weeks before it arrived. I thought for sure that I would have a challenging time to say the least, cutting through my THICK beard without nicking myself especially since this was my first time using this type of razor. But having practiced what I learned from online forums and videos, I was elated at how effortlessly the blade sliced off even the thickest parts of my beard with ease.
Some KEY points to remeber:
1 – Your face must be WET at all times while shaving
2 – Your shaving lather must be the correct CONSISTANCY
3 – Your blade must be SHARP
4 – Keep the blade at the correct ANGLE
5 – Let the WEIGHT of the razor do all the work
6 – TAKE YOUR TIME
I do not know how we as a society could have possibly gotten away from this practice over the last few decades, perhaps the promise of saving time and effort by using a sub-standard disposable or ourageously priced multi-bladed vibrating contraption (my last razor). It is time to bring DE shaving back to the masses! Such a wonderful and refreshing way start your day should be cherished, not to mention replacement blades go for as little as 50ยข each!
If I was selling this product, I would say “Do yourself a favor – order this product, learn about wet-shaving techniques, and set your morning alarms back 10 minutes – the ten minutes of sleep you lose is made up for ten times by the absolute ‘zen’ you put yourself through in this most artful, comforatble, and traditional way of shaving”.

Great starter set for DE razor newbies, July 17, 2009
This set has everything you need to get started. Everything you get is essential, while other things you can get separately. The razor has some nice heft to it and the texture of the handle gives you a good grip, even when wet. The brush also has a weighty feel to it, which is really nice. The bristles on it are a little stiff at first but they eventually soften up.
Try this set out, and if you feel like DE shaving is for you, don’t forget to order a park of different razors!
