This is an Excellent Starter Kit for wet shaving. Everything they provide you get is a pretty good value for the price of the kit.
The toiletry bag does have a fair amount of room inside of it so if you need a new one or want a separate bag for your shaving items/facial cleansers this will def fit the bill. The quality and feel of the bag is also rather nice and it should last for quite some time.
The blades are very nice. I did move on to a different set of blades from Feather Razor Blades. To me at least they just shave better.
The safety razer is very nice for a traveling kit/2nd to your main and or using to learn (as I did). The grip is nice and it’s easy to control on your face when you shave. I did move on to one from Manscape that was heaver as I like the extra weight on the safety razer for handling and it helps make a cleaner shave.
The brush is good. After every use I always see a few hairs that have come out but it still have tons of hairs on the brush and great. I’ll eventually upgrade to something else but till then the one from this kit will last quite a while.
The stand that the brush and razer sit on works just fine. No issues and it’s got a big enough base where it won’t fall over.
The soap’s fragrance to me is “meh”. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it and the smell doesn’t last that long which is nice. The soap does froth up quite well and lasts a long time in the bowel while your shaving so your not constantly putting water into the bowel and using up more soap.
The bowl is rather small. You put the soap puck in there and as your lathering it up it quickly fills the bowl and it will spill everywhere. It’s not large enough to create a good amount of suds without making a mess. I had to go an buy a larger one that was big enough so I didn’t have to constantly clean up the bathroom counter with each shave. However it’s small enough where it’s great for traveling so I can live with the mess in the hotels for 1-2 nights vs dealing with it every single day.
The aluminum salt block is rather nice. It takes a bit getting used to when you need to rub it over some cuts or irritated skin (it does sting but it doesn’t’ last long nor is it painful). However I can notice the difference when I need to use it so I’ll def keep buying them. This small block will last for a long time.
I gave this a 5/5 just cause of the sheer value of what you get and the overall quality is pretty good. The bowl was the biggest issue for me in this kit but not enough to knock it down to 4 starts. If I could I’d give it a 4.5/5 as I did have to spend extra money on a larger bowl.
I Would def recommend this to someone who wants to learn how to wet shave and start with this set or if they just want a travel set this would also fit the bill quite nicely.

I’ve been wet shaving since I was around 13 years old. I learned to shave using a straight razor (I think my grandfather was getting back at me for something) and though I have jumped between cartridges, electrics, and wet I always go back to wet shaving.
Recently I did a massive clean out of a dozen or more razors, countless soaps, blades, etc to the point where I had no wet shaving products left in the house. I went through my normal cycle of trying the new cartridges that were out there and…well…with every company getting woke I decided to go back to wet shaving.
With that out of the way, let’s get into the details of this kit.
The stand is a nice, quality stand.
The dopp bag is a nice canvas material and surprisingly roomy (it seems extremely crowded until you remove all the boxes.)
The razor is not an aggressive razor so would work well for a beginner. I would compare it to a Merkur 34C in terms of aggressiveness. Good weight on the handle, though I wish the handle was shorter (longer handles can make getting the tighter spots a bit harder.) It’s a fairly standard 3 piece design which makes it easy to clean. It’s not a cheap razor and will stand the test of time.
The soap — It’s sandalwood, and the scent is not overly aggressive. Lathers easily and would work for bowl or face lathering.
The blades — Not my favorite brand, but you will get 4 or 5 shaves out of each one. Just make sure you ‘rotate’ them after each shave (when you disassemble the razor check the orientation of the blade and flip it.)
Now, let’s talk about the weak part of the kit: The brush. It’s a boar hair brush so by its nature it’s going to be a bit rough when you start using it. This one, though, feels like it is mostly the lower parts of the mane so it is quite scratchy and irritating on the face. This will soften up overtime but if you face lather…it is not ideal. Not only is it rough, it sheds like crazy. Shave brushes shed for a few days, and that’s normal, but this one is losing quite a few hairs. One good point in its favor is it has very little, if any, animal smell. My recommendation here is to swap this brush out for something better if you enjoy wet shaving. The Semogue Excelsior 830 is a great replacement and not expensive.
So, overall, it’s a good kit and not overpriced unlike some of them out there.
