1. First time straight razor user...easy to use set, good value

   Posted by JSmith on 10th Jul 2017

   I had debated purchasing a straight razor for about a year when I finally pulled the trigger on this set. I am very happy with my purchase so far.
   
   The Good:
   - Excellent price for what you receive
   - The razor came very sharp and needed no introductory sharpening
   - The pre-shave, after shave and soap all smell pretty awesome and my wife loves it so it is a double win on that level
   - Shipping was reasonable and quick
   - User's manual on how to shave, how to use the strop and how to clean & store/preserve your kit
   - Discount coupon comes with your first order
   
   The Bad (but not all that bad really)
   - The shaving soap in the kit goes fast. Might be just me, but I am blowing through it.
   - The pre-shave and after shave a quite pricey to replace
   - If you are a first time shaver, you do not need the practice razor but from the cuts on my face and the fabulous razor burn I gifted myself.....I recommend a kit with the practice razor if you are even the slightest bit concerned about knicks/cuts/burn.
   
   Other than those minor things, it is great set and I highly recommend it!

2. beginner set

   Posted by Unknown on 15th Jun 2017

   not bad, beginners set!
   good for the money.
   
   the razors works. my first good straight. so far so good!
   
   the strop is fake leather. not sure if real leather makes a difference. at least its cheap
   
   the preshave and after shave is pretty good. obviously you can't smell it when you order online. somewhat old manish in my opinion.
   
   the soap works well.
   
   the brush is a cheapo but does do the job
   
   will see if i continue to like straight shaving and perhaps upgrade to a nicer razor and steop

6. Great beginner's set for the money

   Posted by David O. on 4th Feb 2017

   The soap, pre-shave, and aftershave all smell awesome, the brush is high-quality, and the razor and strop are great for a beginner. I've already started looking at better razors, but the GD is a great inexpensive starter for someone who isn't sure if straight razor shaving is for them. Good product and excellent service.

7. Made in China

   Posted by michael k. on 30th Jan 2017

   The description says "hand honed and sharpened in the USA". This was a little misleading, as it implied it was made in the USA. the tang is stamped, Made in China. This might be ok, and the razor seems to work well enough, out of the box, but I haven't had to honed it myself yet. The edge also looks good under a USB ProScope, you can see the finest details, and it still looks good. With that said, all might be well, if the steel is good. I have no confidence, personally, that the Chinese won't cut any possible corner though. Check out the comments here, http://theperfectedge.com/?p=828, regarding Chinese stuff. If might A good razor, despite being Chinese steel if the chinese didn't do the sharpening.
   I am just getting into the straight razor shave, so keep that in mind when weighing my review. the rest of the kit is nice and well presented.

8. VERY happy!

   Posted by David Owens on 22nd Jan 2017

   I just received my shaving set, and was so excited to try it out. I managed to get a great shave on the first try and only nicked myself once! (I'm calling that a victory.) My only recommendation for making this kit even better would be to include a styptic pencil for those nicks and cuts that are likely to happen for people new to straight razor shaving. The oils, soap, and lotion all smell wonderful, the razor is definitely high-quality, and the strop (once I found a place to hang it) was easy to use. Thank you for an awesome product. You have a customer for life.

    Great quality products that were well worth the price. Discounted starter kit with instructions to help learn this craft. Glad I made this purchase and have yet to have any issues with anything in the kit. Would love to get discounted items to help continue perfecting technique.

18. First time to use a straight razor.

    Posted by Joe B. on 20th Dec 2016

    I'm in my 60's and started out using a Gillette safety razor in my teens. I have since used just about every type since then. This is undoubtedly the best shave ever.

19. Don't be cheap

    Posted by Mauro B. on 19th Nov 2016

    I purchased my first strait razor, and I love the fact that I was able to get a starter kit. The only problem I have so far is that I didn't buy the practice blade. I thought that I would learn just by watching videos. Well now I am thinking about buying the practice blade.
    
    All in all I am happy with my new personalized blade.
