Straight razor reviews – Cyril Salter Solingen 5/8 Open Razor Round Point
One of our Cyril Salter straight razors has been given a rave review by a leading American wet shaving guru.
Derek Markham, from popular shaving website ShavingStuff.com, was full of praise for the Cyril Salter Solingen 5/8 Open Razor Round Point.
He started off his review by explaining that because it was his first straight razor experience, he wasn’t sure what to expect from it.
“But after using it as my secondary shaving tool for a while, I’ve really grown to love it,” he explained.
“Shaving with a straight razor is one of those experiences that really separates the men from the boys, and a skill which isn’t very common anymore - so taking the time to learn how to use one was worth it.”
Derek admitted that he was a bit wary of placing a naked razor’s edge directly against his face but went on to say “after playing around with my grip on the razor, I found that I was able to get comfortable holding it and drawing it across my face”.
Derek concluded his review by saying that he was very impressed with the Cyril Salter straight razor, adding “it’s a great entry-level razor for those who wish to begin learning the art of old-school shaving”.

Men’s shaving cream reviews - Cyril Salter Luxury Shaving Cream (Almond 165g)
One of luxury shaving creams has been given a rave review by a leading American shaving guru.
Derek Markham, from leading shaving website ShavingStuff.com, was full of praise for the Cyril Salter Luxury Shaving Cream (Almond 165g).
The wet shaving expert from across the pond started off his review by saying that while the cream had an almond scent, “it wasn’t overpowering”.
He continued: “The cream is definitely thick - so thick that I had to make an effort to keep it thin enough on my face for an enjoyable shave.
“Once I got the consistency sorted out, I found that the Cyril Salter shaving cream gave me a great shave with plenty of razor slip, and it rinsed clean with no greasy residue left on my face.”
Derek concluded by saying: “So if you’re looking for a new luxury shave cream, or perhaps a good gift for your son, father, or husband, consider the Cyril Salter line of products. It’s a quality product that helps give an excellent shave.”
The Cyril Salter Luxury Shaving Cream (Almond 165g) is available to buy from the Shaving Shack website at a cost of just £7.99.

Glowing review for Kent BK4 Silver Tip Badger Shaving Brush
The luxurious Kent BK4 Silver Tip Badger Shaving Brush has been given a glowing review by a leading American wet shaving expert.
Mike Sandoval, from leading wet shaving website Shaving101.com, was full of praise for the premium shaving brush, describing it as “outstanding”.
He started off his review by saying: “I was amazed at the beauty of the badger hair upon opening the red presentation box. The silvertip badger hair is simply gorgeous.
“Expecting this brush to be a ‘nice’ brush, I was very surprised when it revealed itself to be outstanding!
“The BK4 is one of the most versatile shaving brushes I have ever used with both hard soaps and shaving creams. The BK4 quickly produces a rich volume of lather easily suitable for a three-pass shave.”
Mike, who has been reviewing wet shaving products for more then 10 years, continued: “Those who want a brush that will work well with any soap or cream, and always be soft and comfortable on the face will love this brush.
“Those with sensitive skin that have problems with the stiffer bristles of many other high-end brushes would also greatly benefit it as well.”
He concluded by describing the Kent BK4 as an “outstanding example of a good-value shaving brush”, adding “the comfortable feel of the handle, gorgeous and soft high-quality badger hair, and classy red presentation case all represent what a fine British shaving brush should be”.
