	Product: Feather Professional Artist Club RG Teak Wood Handle Straight Razor Review: Just received the feather artist club razor, the build quality is first rate, the razor has a nice weight, balance is perfect, overall you won't be disappointed and this was the best price I could find. Author: Ian Garrard Rating:

	Product: 20 Feather Professional Light Blades Review: These razor blades are very sharp, they give you a very smooth shave no pulling or tugging, highly recommended Author: Ian Garrard Rating:

	Product: Shavette/Straight Razor Renewable Blades (Black) Review: Having found the delights of DE shaving last year, it was only natural that I'd strive to progress to a straight razor. This is my first step on that voyage. Well, what can i say. A decent weight, easy to use and the blade locking mechanism is very firm. And at this price, you really can't go wrong! Give it a try! Author: Lyndon Dudding Rating:

	Product: Proraso Shave Cut Healing Gel (10ml) Review: Does exactly what it says on the tube. Quickly stops bleeding when you accidentally cut yourself. Bye bye little bits of tissue paper! Author: Henry Rating:

	Product: Wilkinson Sword Double Edged Razor Blades Review: I have just started using a traditional Parker safety razor after many years using expensive, throw aways. When I purchased the razor I opted for these Wilkinson Sword blades as I was familiar with the company and I have to say I was very impressed. The dispenser worked well and the blades where all perfectly sharp giving me the closest shave I have ever experienced! I have now turned shaving into a ritual rather than a chore and would highly recommend these blades. Author: Darryl Davenport Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (180ml) Review: BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT!!!! The smell brings back memories of an old barber shop, the lather from one application could do a battalion of troops and it also give a smooth, enjoyable shave! Will order more if the tub ever runs out! Author: Gavin Rowntree Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge "Scimitar" Double Edge Razor (Gift Boxed) Review: This is my first D/E razor after many years of mach 3 abuse! I have the feeling it will also be my last! This is because its perfect. Nice weight,nice design and great price!!!! Author: Gavin Rowntree Rating:

	Product: Super-Max Super Stainless Double Edged Razor Blades Review: I like this razorblade a lot. The first shaves, it is quite sharp, but not too much, and holds this for several shaves - in my case 15 to 20 (with thick hair). This is my favourite. Author: T. S. Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge "Scimitar" Double Edge Razor (Gift Boxed) Review: Since I am new a this I am not as experienced as others but I just have to share. After using a cheap "no name" de razor for a very short while I decided to go all the way and buy a real one... After browing the internet for a couple of weeks (yes I am one of those people that have to compare everyting to be sure), I based my decision on pure vanity and gut feeling. I just couldn´t resist that skull. It is just so cool, no I am not 9yrs old, you have to add another 30yrs to that. Now I have used it for a while and I cannot belive why nobody told me about this before. For 25 years I have hated to shave. Now I love it, the close shaves and the fact that I don´t have to worry about irritated skin anymore. Try this one, you will love it, I use it with Bluebeards Revenge´s shave cream and post shave balm and the result is amazing. Author: fredrik modig (fredrik.modigh@gmail.com) Rating:

	Product: Dovo of Solingen Shavette (Polished Steel Handle) Review: I got this razor as a wee Christmas present to myself. It's fantastic can't praise it enought feels great in your hand, great to use and you get a dovo blade with the razor which is also great never mind 100% I would 300% recommend it :-) Author: Jamie Duff Rating:

	Product: Proraso Ultra-Sensitive Shaving Cream Jar (150ml) Review: Great product. My skin is very sensitive to any scented treatments - even so clled sensitive ones but I have absolutely no problem with this. It lathers up well, is easy to wash off and so light it doesn't stick all round the basin - which earns me brownie points. Thoroughly recommend it. Author: Paul Halford Rating:

	Product: Treet Dura Sharp Double Edge Razor Blades Review: For a freebie they are fine, but I wouldn't buy them when Derby and feather are so much better. I found they lost the edge quite quickly and were prone to rusting unless dried after every use - which is a nuisance. Not bad, but Shaving Shack offers better options in my view. Author: Paul Halford Rating:

	Product: Merkur 570 Chrome "Progress" Safety Razor Review: Having already bought and been very happy with the Merkur Futur, I thought I'd try this one. Using the same blades (new as well) it made for an interesting comparison. The Futur is far more comfortable! I might travel with this one, not sure, however I won't be using it for a daily shave. Where the Futur is smoother than smooth, this is quite draggy for some reason. It's undoubtedly a well made thing, but doesn't seem to work as well for me. Author: N A Rating:

	Product: Erasmic Lather Shaving Cream (75ml) Review: It’s hard to describe the scent of this Erasmic cream, which is nothing like the Erasmic soap. It’s not a scent I immediately liked when opening the tube, although it wasn’t in anyway offensive. Upon lathering it up for the first time, however, I found it produced a good lather which provided a comfortable shave. On using it for a second time, I decided that the scent wasn’t as bad as I had first thought and on repeated use I have actually come to enjoy the scent. This really is a cream which performs above its low price tag and, unlike the soap, it’s an Erasmic product that I will definitely buy again. Author: Christopher Rating:

	Product: Refill for Tabac Shaving Soap Stick (100g) Review: I struggle to find fault with Tabac. Before buying it for the first time I read numerous reviews which seemed to suggest that its scent divided opinion, though all seemed to agree that it produced a great lather. I was therefore pleasantly surprised on opening it to find a scent that I immediately loved. If I had to define my idea of an old-school scent this Tabac spiciness would be it. The lather is always great. In fact, I find it’s near impossible to get a poor lather from Tabac, and a little really does go a long way which, considering the low price and the countless shaves a 100g will give, makes this a great buy. Everything about Tabac – the scent, the lather, the price – guarantee it a constant place in my rotation. Author: Christopher Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Cream Pure Badger Shaving Brush (Gift Boxed) Review: does the job seems well made very few hairs have fallen out of the brush so far which is good for a new brush. Price could be a little bit more competitive Author: James Cross Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Stainless Steel Shaving Bowl (Gift Boxed) Review: Didn't come gift boxed as it says though not a major problem. And although well made and feels very solid I feel its a tad small for the price just needed to be a little bigger for me. Author: James Cross Rating:

	Product: DR Harris Marlborough Shaving Soap Bowl (100g) Review: My first shaving soap and I am extraordinary satisfied with lather quality and especially with the scent. I can't just resist to open the bowl and smell the soap each time when I enter my bathroom. I am pretty impatient to order aftershave and pair it with this noble scent. Author: Nikola Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm Sample (20ml) Review: This came extra with my order, many thanks Shaving Shack. A great aftershave balm, instantly soothes razor burn. As a totaly different product says "It does exactly What it says on the tin". Will be buying a big tub of this soon. Author: David Kirk Rating:

	Product: Semogue Boar Shaving Brush Model 1520 Review: Although it's about 2 quid dearer than a brush avaliable in a certain high street chemist, you'll find it saves you money in the long-term, i.e. far superior build quality. It won't have lost 1/8th of the bristles 3 months down the line and split halfway along one side. . . Plus it feels nice in your hand, and with a suitable stand it is far more pleasing to the eye than a little lump of anonymous plastic. Author: David Kirk Rating:

	Product: Muhle R89 Double Edged Chrome Safety Razor Review: I decided to switch to shaving with a DE razor when my wife bought me the Vulfix Scilian Lime shave cream from Shave Shack this Christmas. I started with the Wilkinson Sword Classic and whilst that (after the traditional novice nicks and scrapes) was an improvement on any cartridge razor I soon decided to upgrade. Intensive research eventually gave me a short list from which I chose the Muhle R89. The quality is outstanding and it feels like a much more expensive piece of kit. The plating is flawless and the design attractive. The razor, even in my inexperienced hands, feels nicely balanced and has given me a smoother and more comfortable shave than I thought possible. Author: Peter Edwards Rating:

	Product: Taylor of Old Bond St St James Aftershave Lotion (30ml) Review: A really good, modern fresh aquatic scent. Not as strong as the cologne and obviously a useful travel size. If you like sporty, fresh fragrances I'd say you'll enjoy this one. Author: J13MBR Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm Sample (20ml) Review: Works really well I find to prevent irritation after an ATG shave. I got a sample free on my last order and will order a full size when this runs out. Another excellent product (also look out for the deodorant stick which is superb) Author: J13MBR Rating:

	Product: Edwin Jagger Double Edge Razor DE89L (Plus 5 Derby DE Blades) Review: After decades of multibladed razors I went old school. So glad I did! My first shave went really well... only a few nicks, and I'd get that anyway. The razor (with a new Feather blade) was a joy to use. The only reason I'm not giving it full marks is I dropped it! The handle is very smooth (Read "slippery when wet"!) Author: MisterG Rating:

	Product: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Super Badger Brush (Ivory) Review: My current daily brush and well worth the price. Builds a lather superbly but equally soft on the face. The whole EJ range is very well made but these Super Badger brushes are standout quality and looked after should last forever. Author: J13MBR Rating:

	Product: Edwin Jagger Best Badger Brush Medium (Imitation Ivory) Review: An excellent balance between price and performance. The brush is an excellent performer and very well made. Personally I prefer a softer brush and now use similar from EJ with Super badger hair, but I have this in my travek bag. Will last really well if looked after also. Author: J13MBR Rating:

	Product: Astra Platinum Double Edged Razor Blades Review: A great blade, sharp (agreed not as sharp as Feathers) and smooth. I also find these last as well as any. These are much better than Derbys in my opinion and I suspect would work well with most razors and faces. I keep a few in my washbag for travelling as performance/cost is superb. Author: J13MBR

	Product: Super-Max Super Stainless Double Edged Razor Blades Review: Available very inexpensively and I was not expecting much but I have recently used these daily (instead of my usual Feathers)in my Merkur 34C and on occasion in my EJ87 and been really pleased with the results. I rate these much higher than Derbys, but of course everyone has different tastes so best to buy a sampler before making bigger orders. Author: J13MBR Rating:

	Product: Edwin Jagger Double Edge Razor DE87 (Plus 5 Derby DE Blades) Review: The razor I started with and a great introduction to the joy of proper shaving. It also compliments the EJ brushes in your bathroom with a high quality design and finish. Personally I found Derby blades too mild with this and swapped for Astra Platinum. Currently in my washbag for travelling. You can't go wrong with this razxor. Author: J13MBR Rating:

	Product: Feather AS-D1 Double-Edge Razor (Stainless Steel) Review: I have waited for some time before I submitted this review. Being relatively new to DE shaving I wanted to ensure that I began my journey with the razor I was going to have a lasting relationship with. Shaving is such a personal activity, you want to mak sure you've got the right girl by your skin! This razor is an absolute babe! She glides (once you have found the angle approx 45 deg) cross ways, up and down. The weight is just perfect and she balances in your hand like a dream. Its a real delight waking up and knowing that I am going to have a great start to my day! Combined with Feather razors and excellent combination I think for pros and beginners (worth the investment!) Author: Andrew Moody Rating:

	Product: Feather AS-D1 Double-Edge Razor (Stainless Steel) Review: This is a very well constructed razor, certainly the best quality I have come across. It is much less aggressive than a Merkur HD for example so I find that two passes are needed. The bonus however if the complete lack of irritation. It's so smooth that shaving rash is now a thing of the past. Highly recommended! Author: MGK Rating:

	Product: Parker Model 22 "Interceptor" Metal Safety Razor with Gunmetal Finish Review: The Parker 'Interceptor' was my first venture into the DE shaving world. I've been using it for the last year but now feel it's worth reviewing with a little experience behind me .. At first sight the razor looks fantastic in the gun metal finish, the weight of the razor is great and the groove in the handle makes holding the razor while shaving easier. My only issue I had with this razor initially, which is more down to my inexperience at first is that I found I some how used to unscrew the butterfly a little which was quite annoying/dangerous. For this reason alone I would recommend anyone new to DE shaving to simply ask questions and watch videos - do not jump into the deep end as there are many wise heads out there to help save you cutting yourself. Overall I would recommend this razor. Author: Steve Scourou Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm (100ml) Review: I got this balm as part of a shaving gift set my lady made up for me this Christmas. As a sufferer of shaving rash due to having stupidly sensitive skin, this balm has given my post shaving routine a new lease of life. As others have already summed up: - Incredibly soothing. - Removes any trace of a shaving rash. - Hydrating, leaving your skin smooth. - Great smell. I would highly recommend to anyone. Author: Steve Scourou Rating:

	Product: Semogue Boar Shaving Brush Model 2000 Review: My partner recently brought this brush to replace my cheap one I got from a supermarket. While I've only had a chance to use this brush 3 times thus far (I got a little lazy during the xmas period!), I must say this brush has been fantastic. I've managed to get a nice rich lather from my Truefitt & Hill soap and overall it makes the shaving experience that much nicer. I would truly recommend. Author: Steve Scourou Rating:

	Product: Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic Review: Thinking about DE Razors? I had a Wilkinson Sword something or other 3, and before that a Gillette Mach 3. To be fair it was the Wilkinson Sword that really pushed me to look for something better. I bought a cheap £3 DE handle and a pack of blades from Boots just to give it a try. Even that was immediately better! Then I ordered this razor, from here, with the Bluebeard pre shave oil, luxury shave soap, and the post shave balm. Wow. What a diffence. Want to know exactly whatbthat difference is? Simple really. First shave with your Mach 3, both with and against the stubble. Then rince the sink out completely. Now shave with a DE razor. Everything that is left in the sink is what your Mach3 couldn't shave. You'll be very surprised indeed. You won't need to look in the sink to be impressed though, you'll run your hand across your face and you'll feel the difference. It's not just a shave either - you feel completely 100% better on a morning after this type of shave. I can't explain that. You do have to be careful though, and you need to look at some of the advice on technique, and you may cut yourself a few times as you learn - but my goodness, there is no looking back.

	Product: Merkur Futur 760 Safety Razor with Satin Chrome Finish Review: this razor makes any bathroom instantly classy. The look, feel and build quality are exceptional. The fact you can adjust this razor makes it extremely versatile. After a long weekend of not shaving, the monday morning shave on around 4 gives you a babys bum smooth face in no time. The daily weekday shave can be handled no problem at just 1or 2. If the price puts you off simply ask for it as a gift... Author: Fraser Wilson Rating:

	Product: Edwin Jagger Best Badger Brush Medium (Imitation Ivory) Review: This is an excellent little brush. Got this one of my Girlfriend for Christmas. It holds a good amount of water and lathers up nicely. Works better with creams than soaps I have found. Still its a good brush for a good price.

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (100ml) Review: Scusate ma parlo solo italiano. Consiglio a tutti questa ottima crema da barba. Ne basta una piccolissima quantità, da mettere nella ciotola, per creare tanta soffice e morbida schiuma. Lascia la pelle morbida e il rasoio scorre in modo confortevole e delicato. Ottimo prodotto. Author: Cristian Melchiorri Rating:

	Product: Progress Vulfix 404 Grosvenor Mixed Badger and Boar Bristle Shaving Brush Review: A well made shaving brush. It has a good mix of boar and badger hair to give a reasonable stiffness that is required for solid shaving soap. Author: Matthew Eagles Rating:

	Product: Taylor of Old Bond St Pre-Shave Oil (30ml) Review: Great product to start shaving. Just a few drops on the brush to release it on his face. Pleasant fragrance. Slide the blade on the surface without causing scratches or irritation. Excellent for quality, price. Author: Angelo Maiorano Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm (100ml) Review: The After Shave Balm Bluebeards Revenge is not sticky and has a great scent. Certainly the price is attractive but I prefer it to other after-shave balms. Author: Angelo Maiorano Rating:

	Product: Jermyn Street Collection Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin (150g) Review: Definitely the best product of row Taylor of Old Bond Street. Good contact with the skin, producing enough foam and release a pleasant fragrance. Definitely recommend it for sensitive skin. Author: Angelo Maiorano Rating:

	Product: DR Harris Almond Shaving Cream Bowl (150g) Review: Excellent product. It does not produce too much foam, but certainly adheres to the skin releasing a pleasant fragrance. The perfect shave is the shaving cream with matching feather blades. Excellent product. It does not produce too much foam, but certainly adheres to the skin releasing a pleasant fragrance. The perfect shave is the shaving cream with matching feather blades. Author: Angelo Maiorano Rating:

	Product: Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap Refill (120g) Review: Wow. Just wow. Incredibly rich and creamy lather, altough I haven't used this for more than a few times, I can say that this soap lasts very long. Mantic59's advice about using a stiffer brush when lathering this is a good one, because the soap is very dense. Author: Pekka Mäenpää Rating:

	Product: Proraso Ultra-Sensitive Shaving Cream Jar (150ml) Review: This shaving soap is quite soft and creamy, not hard like some other shaving soaps. It has a fresh, slightly minty smell and leaves the face feeling refreshed after shaving. Author: Peter Rating:

	Product: RazoRock XXX Shaving Cream Soap (150ml) Review: I really do like this shaving cream soap. Terriffic smell- nice lather and a nice shave all in one little black tub. Get this one- it is a winner. Author: Peter Rating:

	Product: Proraso Ultra-Sensitive Shaving Cream Jar (150ml) Review: It was the first cream i´ve tried, and it´s 70% responsible for feeling pleasure on shaving every morning again! Author: João Teixeira (jpteixeir@gmail.com) Rating:

	Product: Feather Professional Artist Club DX Stainless Steel Straight Razor Review: After recently having to replace my previous Feather artist club and dealing with Dan at the Shaving Shack, the item was delivered quickly with excellent customer service. The razor itself is beautifully engineered and the materials used are of an exceptional quality. The blades are easy to load but beware as feather blades are formidable and ridiculously sharp, I would recommend anyone new to feather artist razors should try the pro-guard blades before using the regular professional blades. The razor itself holds quite a weight but is by no means cumbersome. I thoroughly recommend this razor; ok so you do pay a premium for the razor but it will be with you for life because of exceptional quality of the materials used and the fantastic engineering put into the design of this razor. All in all 10/10 and worth the money. Author: Ciaran Hogan (yogimoto@hotmail.co.uk) Rating:

	Product: Tabac Shaving Soap Stick (100g) Review: Although I am only a few months classic shaver, I have tested some soaps and creams like TOBS Avocado, Truefitt&Hill 1805, Mitchells, Valobra and so. Last week I received a refill of Tabac (I don't have the plastic case, but I prefer to save some pounds) because of the good reviews about it. And, indeed, it's true. My way of making lather is: rub the brush with the soap for a while, and after this rub on the face. The brush will make a dense, superb lather that will give you a close and perfect shave (imho). And, in winter and cold days, I prefer this kind of soaps that those with menthol, eucalyptus and similar. Try it, you will no regret. Author: Jose Luis Escudero Saiz Rating:

	Product: Truefitt & Hill Authentic No. 10 Shaving Cream Bowl (200ml) Review: This is an excellent choice for all users, creates a soft and perfect lather, and leaves your skin really smooth. The fragrance is subtle but very pleasent. Quite a pleasure to use. Author: Hugo Santos Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (180ml) Review: First cream i have tried, only ever used soaps. Love how this cream lathers so easily and in such vast amounts, and barely any product needed. Gives a lovely smooth shave and leaves the face feeling smooth and moisturised. Definitly a product i will continue using. Author: Robert Jones Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge "Corsair" Super Badger Shaving Brush (Gift Boxed) Review: Easy to describe; SUPERB. It works very well with both soaps (triple-milled as well as standard ones) and creams. On top of that it also has an extremely competitive price when compared with other brushes. Author: Per Hansson Rating:

	Product: Feather AS-D1 Double-Edge Razor (Stainless Steel) Review: Excellent razor, one of the razors I value best. The Feather and two vintage Gillettes (FatBoy and Slim Adjustable) are the ones mostly used in my rotation. I have very sensitive skin and need soft razors. The abovementioned razors are all superb. The Feather is highly recommednded altough being a little expensive. Author: Per Hansson Rating:

	Product: Men-U Barbiere Shaving Brush, Stand and Shaving Creme (Black) Review: These brushes are great I've used one for a while that was given to me by my dad who also used it. In a word they're great and at a brilliant price 100% recommend Author: Jamie Duff Rating:

	Product: Merkur 25C Long Handled Classic (Open Comb) Review: Although similar to the Merkur 23c/180 the 25c has several key differences and is (in my opinion) a better razor. The 25c is a long handle but slightly shorter than the 23c, although not enough to make any significant difference. It's also a little bit lighter than the 23c as the 'backing plate' is slimmer. Don't get me wrong though, the Merkur quality and the robust design is still there. However, it is a much better shave than the 23c due to the open comb design and the angle the blade sits. To explain further, with the 23c you really had to scrape it along your face at a certain angle yet with the 25c it effortlessly glides across, which is strange sensation at first if you've been used to 23c. Overall it's a damn nice razor, and although I've only ever had 2 Merkurs (including this) I doubt I'll look for another and will probably buy an extra 25c as a back up. Author: Richard Price Rating:

	Product: Proraso Shaving Cream Jar (150ml) Review: Earlier I tried the Proraso after shave and claimed it was the best thing I've put on my face after shaving. So I decided to give this cream a shot too. And this exceeded all my expectations! This is the first cream that has felt smooth and 100% irritation free during and after the shave. Even when going ATG I felt zero pulling, this cream makes your razor truly glide. I've enjoyed other creams too but they all seem to leave my skin a tiny bit irritated and the beard growth feels very hard and sharp. With this cream those problems were gone. The lather it produces is awesome too. I feel it took a bit more effort to get it down compared to T&H/TOBS/Bluebeard, but in the end it was a perfect lather. The scent is very strong, cooling and refreshing, just like the feel on your beard. Personally I enjoyed this very much and was surprised that it really felt so smooth and soothing while at the same time being fresh and strong. Highly recommended, especially for dry and sensitive skin like mine. 5/5 Author: Thomas Wahlberg Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge "Doubloon" Bristle Shaving Brush Review: I recieved this brush as a free offer and was intially dubious as it was a freebie. However I put it in my travelling washbag and the first time I used it was very suprised by its quality and ease it produced a great lather. My beard is extremely tough and it also did a great job of softening it and exfoliating the skin. thoroughly reccomended Author: Anthony Keedwell-Smith (woodys63@hotmail.com) Rating:

	Product: Proraso Pre and Post Shave Cream for Ultra Sensitive Skin (100ml) Review: I bought this as I suffer from very sensitive almost burned skin after shaving. I found an immediate improvement after using this. It was very easy to use and noticeably softened my beard. and left a great fresh smell and no buring or irritation. Thoroughly reccomended Author: Anthony Keedwell-Smith Rating:

	Product: Proraso After Shave (100ml) Review: This product, combined with Proraso shaving cream, is probably the best shave that you will ever experience. Apply after you have rinsed you face with cold water to close up the pores and any little nicks, leave you face damp (not dripping) and splash on. You get a massive hit of freshness from the Menthol, (but not overpowering), with very little burn. You maintain a fresh feeling for a good couple of hours afterwards. Tones you skin very well. My only gripe is that the scent does not seem to last for very long. Awesome product. If you are new to wet shaving or a seasoned vet, you cannot get much better than Proraso. Author: Julian Speller Rating:

	Product: Parker Model 22 "Interceptor" Metal Safety Razor with Gunmetal Finish Review: Closest shave i have ever had. Always used modern razors, they never cut close enough, but this razor is the best by far. I'm not going to lie i did cut myself once or twice, but you just have to get used to it, once you do you'll never go back, i can see myself using this the rest of my life. Author: James Wardroper Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Wool Fat Shaving Soap Refill (120g) Review: This is a great product. If you have sensitive skin, I'd say give it a week for your skin to adjust to the soap. I found it a bit drying to begin with. Some people recommend applying directly to the face. However I think it lathers better if you use a bowl. If you soak the mix bowl and soap bowl in hot water first, it seems to lather better. Also keep the mix quite "wet". Using a bit more water allows the lather to be more gloopy and the razor glides better. One further trick (not for purists): put three to four drops of David Somersets (or your preferred brand) shave oil in the bowl first and then mix with the fat. The result is ultra-sticky and gives a really comfortable result. Author: Adzy_166 Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge "Cut-Throat" Shavette/Straight Razor Renewable Blades Review: Got this razor as an intro to open razor shaving. Well what can I say, it has been superb. I used it for the firt time this morning and didnt hack my face to bits (its alot easier than you think). I didnt get as close a shave as i wanted but i guess this will come with time and practice. As a first open razor you cant fault it. I think I might be getting a dovo in about 6 months or so. Im hooked on open razors now!!! Author: Manish Ghelabhai Rating:

	Product: DR Harris Marlborough Shaving Soap Refill (100g) Review: Unlike the other reviewer, I believe that this is actually easier to lather than Mitchel's, but while Mitchel's Wool Fat soap smells of just that, soap - no added fragrances to it, this one has that cedar/sandalwood woodsy light scent to it - comparing it to Tabac, I would say the scent is similar but while Tabac is more "floral", this one is more "woodier". As to the lather, it lathers really easily, and it's really creamy, Comparing it again to Tabac and MWF, I'd say that this one is slightly less slick/cushioning than those two, but it's still very good. It was my first DR Harris soap and probably won't be my last. Author: Pedro Delgado Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm (100ml) Review: Indeed very nice scent, fresh, moisturizing feeling. I'm switching between this and Proraso aftershave. When I get small burn, I tend to use the Proraso for it's smoothing effect. But if I get a proper irritation free shave I instantly going for this one. Leaves the skin feeling smooth, healthy and clean. My skin looks much healthier after a few days use! Author: Thomas Wahlberg Rating:

	Product: Proraso Liquid After Shave Cream (100ml) Review: Best thing I've ever put on my face! I have a very sensitive skin, used to get razor burn and irritation that lasted for days when using regular gilette shaving foam and 5 blade fusion razors. When I first switched to DE razor, I started to feel a bit of razor burn after finishing my shave. I'm a beginner so I think that's the cause. But after I put this aftershave on it felt like the irritation and burn went away almost instantly. Definitely a must product for sensitive skin. Will be taking home some Proraso cream also next. Author: Thomas Wahlberg Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (180ml) Review: My very first wet shaving cream. Lathers up nice, feels good, gives a good shave. Also the feeling this cream leaves on the skin is very nice. Moist, smooth feel. Only critique is the scent. I'm new to wet shaving and I'm feeling like I'm growing in to the more traditional soapy scents, but I still would've loved this cream to smell a tiny bit more fresh. Would be a full 5 star product if the scent was more pleasing for me. Author: Thomas Wahlberg Rating:

	Product: The Goodfella Satin Black Safety Razor Review: It's smallest than it seems on pictures. I must say that, once I've tested it, I don't like the finishing of the handle. But the head is smooth and soft, to be a open-comb head. My best results are using the head of the Godfella with the handle of a Mühle R41. I will try also with a Bullmastiff handle to see how it works. Not a bad razor. If someone from Goodfella is reading this, please consider changing the design of the handle.

	Product: Astra Superior Stainless Double Edged Razor Blades Review: Very good blades. I have contradictive skin, thick facial hair and sensitive skin. I was recommended these blades by my barber, who used these blades when he shaved me. Now I don't get a shaving rash and they are very easy to shave with. They provide a very close shave as if i was shaved at the barbers, plus £13.99 for 100 is a bargain especially with the prices of Gillette blades these days! Author: Luke Stanwick Rating:

	Product: Feather Professional Artist Club RG Straight Razor Review: Superb build quality, a very clever design and oh so very sharp. I can almost justify its worth the money... Author: Mark Ball

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (180ml) Review: I used this for my very first DE shave and got an incredible lather really quickly and an ultra smooth shave on my first try, no nicks and great reduction. I like the smell too. I doubt I'll ever move from this aside from possible curiosity about what else is on offer. Excellent stuff. Author: Panos Dionysopoulos Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm (100ml) Review: I have to admit I don't really like this one. It seems very watery on my face and doesn't seem to really 'tighten' the skin like other aftershaves can do. In fact, I'm not sure it's doing much of anything. May just be it doesn't suit my skin, who knows.. Author: Panos Dionysopoulos Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (180ml) Review: First I must compliment the smell, it is so nice and soothing! It lathers really well, the best I have tried so far. I think it's abit on the pricey side though, but it definitely is an amazing shaving cream. Author: Ole Færø Rating:

	Product: Muhle R89 Double Edged Chrome Safety Razor Review: This is my 2nd DE razor, my first one being a Parker 22R. I find the quality on this one alot better, the finish is outstanding. The 22R was a little too aggressive, but this one is perfect! It's also very forgiving compared to the 22R, and I think it would be an excellent choice for a beginner. Think I have used the 22R less than a handful times just to compare after I got this one. This one is now my daily razor, and has been so for months. Couldn't be more happy with it! Author: Ole Færø Rating:

	Product: Wilkinson Sword Double Edged Razor Blades Review: I've been using these blades for quite a few years now and I have to say the quality in each pack varies massively. To explain further, out of every pack 5 pack two or three will be extremely sharp whilst the remaning ones will be substantially duller. I'd say on average i go through a couple blades every week, bearing in mind I don't use these to shave my entire face (ouch!) but only for 'delicate' work on my sideburns in conjuction with my Wahl trimmer, and sharp blades is a must if you want clean lines. Overall they're good value for money if bought in bulk and the quality is reasonably good for your buck, and despite the lack of consistency I still buy them when my supplies run low and would recommend them to other people.

	Product: Castle Forbes Lime Essential Oil Shaving Cream (50 ml) Review: First, scent is really amazing, it is like natural lime and lemon. It is a hard cream and I use it as a soap. You have to load your brush, then to put it on your face and to gradually add some water. When hydrating at the right level, the efficaciy and the cushion are fantastic , so excellent. But due to the fact, it is sometime diffcult to find the right balance of water, my rating is very good. Author: Eric Maurey Rating:

	Product: Castle Forbes Lavender Essential Oil Shaving Cream (50 ml) Review: This cream is good. Very nice and natural scent of lavender (my favourite scent). Creates lather in i nick of no time (with a brush of course). Will last a long time as a very small amount of cream is needed. Recommended. Author: Henrik Fredriksson Rating:

	Product: Shark Super Stainless Double Edged Razor Blades Review: If you like Astras, Gillettes Yellow you are in for a treat. VERY SMOOTH and sharp. Higly recommended. I am so pleased that these superb blades finally have entered the Shaving Shack shop. Last comment, the package with the shark makes me smile every time. Very cool.

	Product: Merkur 33C Classic Review: Shaving Shack has asolutely appalling service! I paid £37.99 for a Merkur 570 Progess, but recieved this razor the £20.49 Merkur 33C lightweight Classic. And also this is my second order from Shaving Shack and both times they ignored my delivery address and sent my order to a different address – and this despite assurances from the company that the mistake with the first order was a rare one off! Shocking company! Please send what I paid for...and to the correct address. Buyers beware especially if you need a gift at Xmas. Response from The Shaving Shack: We really are sorry about the mix up with your orders, we do try our best but sometimes make mistakes. I hope you now have your goods. Author: John Evans Rating:

	Product: Astra Platinum Double Edged Razor Blades Review: I got my first set of these as part of a large sample selection pack of blades a few years back. All the other brands are still in their packets on a shelf because once I tried these I never looked back. Less likely to decapitate you than the feathers and excellent value, especially in the large pack. Author: Peter Summersell

	Product: Vintage Shaving Mod Shaving Cream (150ml) Review: Mind blowing! To me at least! I have sensitive skin and after a shave I would usually apply standard moisturizer. I learned of this produce from some reviews and can definitely testify for it's brilliant results. First of all the band itself is appealing and the product container looks great, throwing you back to the vintage era of the alpha male. The smell is fantastic and once applied to the skin, leaves it feeling soft and great to the touch. One thing I noticed with my previous post-shave creams was the crappy tight feeling afterwards. In other words smiling or pulling a certain facial expression would feel dry, irritating and almost itchy. With this cream none of that happened to me. It works wonders and as I type this I have it applied to my face right now after my incredible shave. :) I would like to thank Shaving Shack for its decent service too. The advice on the site is top stuff! Author: Adnan Khan Rating:

	Product: Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic Review: I bought this Razor and at arrived not long ago (10th Nov 2011). This is my first jump to a double edge razor from the crappy cartridge based system. I have to say I was gobsmacked by the build quality of the razor. The craftsmanship is incredible. The weight is also perfect. It's got a fair bit of weight which allows for maximum control over each stroke of the blade. I have so far shaved with it twice as the time of this review and I can say it is a pleasurable experience. I love shaving with it! Author: Adnan Khan Rating:

	Product: Merkur Futur 760 Safety Razor with Satin Chrome Finish Review: This product is amazing, After using several disposable type blades I wanted something different. This not only feels heavy and full of quality, there is great adjustment and gives an amazing shave. I have never thought of going back. Author: Chris Page Rating:

	Product: Castle Forbes Lavender Essential Oil Aftershave Balm (125 ml) Review: Lovely soothing aftershave, with a wonderful fresh lavender scent. Not cheap, but a bottle lasts for ages and worth the money. Author: Chris Rating:

	Product: Merkur 23C Long Handled Classic Review: I've had my merkur 23c (or 180 as it's known in the states where I bought it) for about six years now and I have to say I'm impressed with the build quality. It has a bit of weight to it (which I like) and the long handle makes it ideal for people such as myself with gorilla hands. Although I wouldn't shave my entire face with a double razor I find them ideal for the hard to reach places such as under the nose and doing delicate work on sideburns. Merkur makes probably the best double razors out there so if you like that old school retro feel with a bit of quality behind it i'd recommend a Merkur! Author: Richard Price Rating:

	Product: Semogue Boar Shaving Brush Model 1520 Review: Have been using this brush for over a year now and although the painting on the handle (wooden) is somewhat flaking the brush as a whole is GREAT. The size is just perfect (I easily get 3 passes). This is the brush I reach for when I go for soaps. As for performance this brush will only get better with age. Trust me. Classy handle. Author: Henrik Fredriksson Rating:

	Product: Semogue Boar Shaving Brush Model 1305 Review: I like small brushes (chubby 1). This was a little bit to big for me. Especially if you use soaps that comes in wooden bowls. But it performs like a charm and the workmanship as a whole is terrific. The bristles are superb and the brush has great backbone. Classy handle. Author: Henrik Fredriksson Rating:

	Product: Parker Model 90R "Knightsbridge" Metal Safety Razor with Nickel Plated Finish Review: I ordered this razor about 4 months ago. Having used Mach 3 razor for the past 10 years or so, I was fed up continually buying either new blades or completely new razors because they had been "upgraded". It took me some weeks to get used to my Parker, but now I find it gives a much cleaner, closer shave without any burn. It is also much more convenient for taking away on weekends and holidays, taking up much less room in a soap bag. My next plan is to buy a Merkur adjustable, purely to see if its at all possible to improve on what I consider the best! Author: Alex Fergusson Rating:

	Product: Merkur Futur 760 Safety Razor with Satin Chrome Finish Review: I previously used mutliple cartridge razor blades, but sometimes these didn't give the shave I liked and the price of these blades is just far too high. I decided to go for a Merkur Futur DE razor. Having never used a DE razor before, I was slightly apprehensive. The important thing I found was to take my time and carry out proper shaving preparation, lathering with brush, etc. The Merkur Futur DE razor is very well made and the quality of workmanship is clearly evident. It has a very good weight to it and the adjustable settings allow you to suit your own needs / face etc. I did have a couple of nicks and cuts to start with, but that was more down to me rather than the razor itself. I've been using it now for over a week and shaving every day with it. It is an excellent product and the initial price I paid for it will easily be recouped within a year, as DE razor blades are a fraction of the cost of those rip off multiple cartridge blades. Highly recommended. Author: Douglas Fisher Rating:

	Product: Merkur Futur 760 Safety Razor with Satin Chrome Finish Review: Got the Futur after using a 38C for 6 months, This is a heavy and well made razor that gives a very close shave.It is best to start on the first setting and work your way up as it will bite, overall I would give this razor and the service from The Shave Shack 10/10. Author: Alan Hurcumb Rating:

	Product: Progress Vulfix 660 Pure Badger Shaving Brush Review: This was first serious purchase of a shaving brush and was initially pleased with its performance. However the brush very quickly start to lose hairs and within 18 months was unusable. Very disappointed. Author: Russell Rating:

	Product: Truefitt & Hill 1805 Shaving Cream Bowl (165g) Review: This is my first cream of Truefitt & Hill, as I am a newbie to the classic shaving. I must say it's a fantastic cream, with a fragance difficult to define but that takes me to these nineteenth-century barber shops where there was no rush, the smell of old wood, leather, you could smoke and find people whose word was a signed contract. Maybe it's a pity that all this has gone, or maybe not, fortunately Truefitt & Hill continues to manufacture soaps and creams. Author: Jose Luis Escudero Saiz Rating:

	Product: Kent BLK2 Pure Grey Badger Shaving Brush (Black) Review: The first shaving brush i used cost me £5, it didt go well, i stopped using it a few shaves in as it was a hassle i figured id give brushes another go with this one, simply amazing a thousand times better than the cheap £5 one i bought before. Author: Jesiah Darlow Rating:

	Product: Proraso Shaving Cream Tube (150ml) Review: Not what I expected after the good reviews. I was very disappointed with the quality of shave. It is difficult to get a decent lather and drys on your skin too easily. Its a shame because I love their other products Author: Anthony Dedicoat Rating:

	Product: Tabac Shaving Soap Bowl (125g) Review: Amazing soap, probably the best soap for me. I have sensitive skin and does a great job. Very nice smell. Worth the money in abundance. Author: GEORGE GRAFAS Rating:

	Product: Proraso Shaving Cream Jar (150ml) Review: I am relatively knew to DE shaving, always used a cartridge razor with a matching gel. I always got a touch annoyed at how the main companies can ask so much for their products and so I opted to go the Cut throat way and the DE razor method. On buying a cheaper shaving soap I thought it was a little dry on the skin and so after trying out that one I thought its time to try some proper stuff! I bought this Proraso Shaving cream and I am amazed at the small amount needed to make such a lather. A small marrow fat pea amount made enough and more to have three passes over my stubbly mug and it was rather good ya... This is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone who has a wet shave. My vote ? 10 out of 10 Author: Laurence Rothschild Rating:

	Product: Proraso Cutting Edge Protective After Shave Cream (100ml) Review: I have always been a fan of Proraso aftershaves - and after purchasing this cream I am even more impressed by them.This is a very traditional Italian product from Florence and the smell is a lovely somewhat unique fragrance that will make you think you are in sunny Italia! The soothing oils will relieve you effectively of razor burn and as always you can make this last for a very long time if used sparingly. Author: Atir Akram Rating:

	Product: Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap and Ceramic Bowl (120g) Review: The whole packaging of this product is by far the best on the market! You have to get the ceramic pot, just looks so good. I was slightly apprehensive about getting this soap as some people have a problem with creating enough lather (most problems seem to come from America, so not sure if this is down to water 'hardness'). I needn't have worried as I got a nice silky, smooth lather in double quick time that was enough for at least 3-4 passes. Author: Mr T Rating:

	Product: The Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm (100ml) Review: Nice subtle smell that is not overpowering. Calm's down any redness and stops that bleeding fast. Excellent addition to my ever growing collection. Author: Mr T Rating:

	Product: Merkur Vision 2000 Safety Razor with Satin Chrome Finish (Gift Tin and Blades) Review: A friend got me started on DE shaving (forever grateful Meestur Beel... ) and we both liked the look of the Merkur Vision 2000. I was lucky to get one as a pressie for Xmas and was SO disappointed. It didn't have full range on the "twist" scale, and the blade guard was ever so slightly at an angle. I contacted Merkur and they were no help whatsoever. I was told something along the lines of "manufacturing tolerances blah blah blah" and "..the selector doesn't have to go right round". Honestly, I had used the razor literally 5 times and went back to my Merkur 34C. I tried it again after ignoring it for a year on the stand.....and the bloody central blade guide broke clean off. I am so disappointed. Please note that it wasn't bought for me from the "Shack". Wish it had been as customer service from these guys is second to none. In short, avoid this overpriced piece of gadgety rubbish and stick with tried and tested (and reliable) basic DE razors. Author: Antony Devine Rating:
