"Shave Straight" Straight Razor Starter Set

I wish that everyone could experience the great feeling of receive and open your first straight razor shave set. I receive my "Shave Straight" Straight Razor Starter Set today.

All the ítems arrived in good condition.

The leather strop have a good size for all the standard straight razors (good for a beginer to avoid the “x” pattern during the blade honing).

The straight razor is ready to shave!

I just had my first shave with the BOKER and I had a baby smooth level.

I really suggest to anyone new in straight razor shave to start his journey with this.

Also, I want to thank to the Shave Nation team regarding the issue during the first attempt of delivery to me (my country customs area). Shave Nation team supported me shipping for the second time and I finally received. Good service, good support.

Thank you for everything!

I really love my set and I will improve my skills in order to be ready for the SPARTACUS.

Have a great shave, have a great day!

All items fantastic!! Found that shakiness is not a good thing but after the 2nd shave the fear went away and the shakes went also. I’m hooked!!!

To begin, I ordered the set on Labor Day, so I was able to use a coupon code e-mailed to me and save around $25 (👍👍 for that, always good to save $).
As for the razor, this is the first true straight razor I have ever used, although I have been using a shavette since the beginning of the year. The best way I can describe my first shave with it is—a different sensation. To be honest, my first shave did not impress me, but in all fairness I also did not use the chrom.ox bar on the strop either. After that I did use it, and between that and getting used to the whole technique, I’m liking it a lot better. As of this writing I’ve used the razor 4 times (I don’t have a super heavy beard so I only shave on average twice a week)
Final analysis: since I had never used a straight razor before, I had no experience to compare it to, so I can’t honestly say if it is any better or worse than any other razor out there. All I can say is that I’m satisfied with everything that came in this set, as well as everything else I have ordered from Shave Nation. By the way, as I mentioned, I ordered it on Labor Day, which meant no mail delivery that day, I received it that Thursday. Not bad...

Just shaved with my new Boker and was very happy with the results. Went with a Proraso shave sequence and found it was a good choice with the razor. Still new to straight shaving so not at the baby smooth level yet but a few more shaves and I think it’s possible.
