Here's what I bought and why:
Safety Razor: Parker 96R – Long Handle Butterfly Safety Razor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IFFSOS/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2
This safety razor has a great weight to it, a long handle for a comfortable grip, and a black and chrome coloring that looks great with the other items on the list. The butterfly razors seem to be the easiest to open and close for changing blades.
Razor Blades: Astra Superior Premium Platinum blades
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EXPTR0W/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4
One of the great things about safety razors is that the blades are SUPER cheap. These Astra blades are some of the most popular and highest quality blades I could find. At $0.10 each, you can clearly see the cost advantage to regular razors. I have been told that one blade should last about a week. That means that 100 is nearly 2 years’ worth! Do yourself a favor and buy the best blades you can get. There’s no reason to save a few cents to get blades that dull quickly and give you razorburn.
Brush: Perfecto 100% Badger Shaving Brush - Black
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VF1NI5M/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_40
This brush is a fraction of the cost of the higher end brushes and it felt GREAT and worked up a nice, foamy lather very quickly. I don’t see any reason to buy a more expensive brush, especially if you are just starting out and want to see if you enjoy this process before you commit to a high-dollar brush. Personally, I still wouldn’t get anything more expensive.
Bowl: Schöne Stainless Steel Shaving Bowl with Lid
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQDEL8Y/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_37
I think this is a matter of preference and taste in aesthetics. This bowl matches the other items that I bought and has a lid, which I am hoping will allow me to make my soap last longer. It seems to be well made and is a great size for working up a lather with the brush and is shaped well for holding it in your hand while you apply the lather. I think there are a lot of options for you to choose from, so pick something that matches your style if this one isn’t for you.
Razor and Brush Stand: SimplyBeautiful Deluxe Razor and Brush Stand
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AG92BXY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_35
This stand looks great and is balanced well so that it holds my brush and razor without falling over. I chose black for two reasons. One: It matches the other things that I bought (razor and brush). Two: It should resist rusting better since it is coated.
Pre-shave Oil: The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil, Sandalwood
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FGTTTM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3
The Art of Shaving makes some great products, but some of them have changes in recent years, so you can’t rely on the ratings alone. I read through them and found that the pre-shave oil is still a very popular product and from my experience, it definitely helps prep your beard and skin for the shave. Applying the oil is step 1 in safety razor shaving.
Shaving Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007MW2ZW/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1
TOBS shaving soaps are the highest quality soaps I could find based off of smell, quality of lather, and consistency of the product quality. This soap is more like a cream. I scooped out some with my fingers, put it in the bowl, added some hot water, and then worked up a lather. It felt and smelled amazing! In reality, I didn’t want to wash it off because it just felt so good!
After-shave Balm: Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood Aftershave Balm
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OWPW0I/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_29
This was my biggest splurge of the whole set-up and I did so for several reasons: First, using after-shave balm is said to be gentler on your skin than alcohol-based after-shaves. As I mentioned before, I switched from an electric to a safety razor with no skin irritation at all. This cream soothes the skin and makes it soft. It was the perfect way to finish my shave. Second, this stuff is rated as the absolutely best smelling after-shave balm out there and I can attest to that. It smells so great that I stopped using my cologne. Based on the small amount that is needed, this bottle should easily last for a year or more. Three, there are other “luxury” brand shaving balms that have been bought out by big brand companies and their formulas have changed significantly as a result. That means that some of the products out there have great ratings, but only because of the number ratings BEFORE they recently changed. If you look into other luxury shaving brands, then you will see what I mean.
Razor Disposal Case: Feather Styling Razor Disposal Case
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DWGEY1K/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_36
Even used razors are sharp, so I bought this little case to keep stray razors off of the counter, or better yet, off of the floor. Just drop in the used razor when it’s too dull for shaving. It holds over a hundred, so you can go without emptying it for a few years. It’s pretty cheap, so maybe you can just throw it away when it’s full? Your choice.
That’s my whole set up. If you want to get into safety razor shaving, then I highly recommend the products on this list. All-in-all, you will spend about the same on this list than you would on a TAOS starter kit that only has the oil, brush, soap, and balm. I’m a morning shaver, so the sandalwood scent works great for me, but evening shavers may consider the same products in lavender scent if you want a relaxing experience to help you sleep.
I shave with a DE razor, as most who would buy this product do. First use, I put about 5 or 6 drops of the stuff on my hands and rubbed it into my stubble. My face was noticeably greasy, but this was a good thing for the sake of lubrication...which is exactly what I was looking for. The sandalwood scent is absolutely delightful, if you like that scent. It's pretty strong with this product, something I wasn't used to with my typical sandalwood shave soap, which leaves just a faint fragrance after a shave.
The fragrance here is stronger and longer lasting.
After rubbing the oil in, I worked a good lather over my face and began to shave. The shave was indeed far more comfortable with the oil. The razor glided over my skin, and there was virtually no tugging on the hairs. Even using Feather blades, I would get an occasional yank on the hairs that would cause a bit of discomfort. With this oil, it's almost like simply pushing a bladeless razor over my face and having the hair come out.
My face and neck looked a bit better than usual after this, and after a week of usage, I had no more ingrown hairs or razor burn.
The drawback of this is that, since it provides no conditioning value to the skin, it's going to cause some people with more sensitive skin to break out. I avoid this by rubbing the leftover lather over my face to break down any left over oily residue. This also keeps my skin from looking greasy or oily. If you have particularly sensitive skin or want something with more conditioning value, JoJoba oil is apparently the ingredient you would want listed on your preshave oil. Alternatively, you could look for a preshave lotion or cream.
I would recommend this product, with the aforementioned caveats in mind. It's a good preshave oil, a bit on the pricier side unfortunately, but I'd say it's not without value and it's certainly helped me.
1 or 2 pumps per shave.
Nice pre-shave that does NOT require a wash with towel of the face b4 you apply your shaving cream etc…
Proraso pre shave does recommend washing their pre-shave with a towel,
has a nicer scent though,
and CAN be had on proraso.com.
AOS does have quality products, their shaving goo is spectacular….again, imho.
