An amazing 5-6 months' worth of shaving - the ideal introduction to safety razor shaving with substantial savings!

This kit comprises of everything you need:
- The amazing Drake double edge razor (normally £19.99)
- 40 Israeli made Double Edge Razor Blades (normally £10.76)
- The Guv'nor Pure Badger shaving brush (normally £14.99)
- An indispensable Alum Block to stop nicks and cuts (normally £6.69)
- A 100ml tub of The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream (normally £9.99)

After we wrote these articles:

"How much money can I save switching from Mach3 to double edged razor blades?"
"The soaring cost of cartridge razor blades under the spotlight again"

we were inundated with requests for a decent value double edged razor kit that didn't cost the earth. What we've tried to do with this kit is give you the best "bang for buck" products to keep costs down.

The Drake double edge razor is an exceptional three piece razor that gives a fantastic close shave from its 'Hammerhead' closed comb head. At 9.5cm it is relatively long handled for a double edge razor making it the perfect size for those moving from the typically long handle of a cartridge razor.

The Guv'nor Pure Badger brush has a mighty 23mm knot and is excellent at lathering creams and soap!

The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream is a fantastic lathering cream that offers plenty of cushion, slickness and glide -it smells great too! This tub should give you around 5-6 months worth of use.

The alum block will help seal minor cuts which is handy when you first start and is also great as an aftershave product.

We've included 40 of the fantastic Israeli made double edge razor blades which we reckon, based on averages, should give you up to 6 months worth of shaving.

All this would normally set you back £62.42 but we're knocking 30% off to give you it for £43.99! Don't forget that by buying this kit you will also qualify for our free gift for spending over £9.99 so this really is an absolute bargain!!

Purchased this almost a year ago as a starter kit and have not been let down. I was new to the safety razor scene and didn't know where to start. The razor is well made and heavy so doesn't feel at all flimsy, the blades are sharp I get 4 or 5 shaves per blade depending on stubble length. The alum block is a god send in the early days and will last a life time. The brush is sturdy and easy to use and the shaving cream smells masculine yet classical. All in all very happy

Well I took the plunge on a saftey razor after being sick and tired of paying for cartos. I have been shaving my head for over 15 years so the price adds up! I was a bit nervous about using a saftey razor! To my amazment , I shaved my head with no nicks or cuts with this razor . It is nice and heavy and as long as you don't put any pressure on the razor it glides really well. The brush is nice and lathers the supplyed soap really well. I checked out youtube vids before my set came and that really helped ! The soap has a real nice sandlewood fragrance. I must admit I felt a bit nostalgic using a saftey razor. I am glad I have switched and I will not be going back and that is after only two shaves :)

Delivery was proment And well packed.

What a fantastic kit to join the executive shaving club. This kit actually saves you money in the long run and those cheap plastic razors are really expensive. The shave itself after using this kit is so close your skin is literally as smooth as a baby's bum.
Everything about this kits is pure quality. I'm in love with this starter set.
I'm now going to buy this set for my father for Christmas.

As if the products in this kit weren't cheap enough anyway! A fantastic array of items, just read up on each of the products, and enough to get you started in the world of double edge shaving for the next few months. This will change the way you think about shaving, turn that daily chore into a daily pleasure!

Tips on caring for your shaving brush

Use warm water! Hot or boiling water can cause damage, ultimately resulting in shedding. Hot, in brush terms, is usually considered to be anything above the 50 degree Celsius mark.

Go easy with your brush! The core of the brush is where the magic happens and mashing down with your brush can twist and break the core hairs and over time cause hair loss and a dimpled effect in the centre of the brush.

Rinse and dry after use. When you are done using your brush shake or flip it hard a few times to remove all the water and hang upside down in a stand to dry. If you don’t have a stand dry the brush thoroughly on a towel.

Why is my brush shedding?

Intermittent shedding is quite normal across all makes of brush. Please read our magazine article that explains the issue, its causes and how you can prevent it happening: Why is my shaving brush shedding hair?!!
