Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this set along with some other items a few weeks back. I compared it to others that were similar I felt this was a good choice.
When the set arrived it looked nice and felt very nice. I tried to shave with it, it was no where near shave ready. It was necessary to do some hone work to get it ready.
Once it is properly honed and well stropped it does a good job. This is not a razor for a first timer. If you are a first timer I would suggest getting a good name brand razor such as DOVO or the like. Or search out a site that hones the razor prior to shipping so that it is shave ready Theirs Issard.
The strop is decent, you will have to spend time breaking it in. This is normal.
Had I not had a set of hones and knew how to prepare the blade I would have been disappointed with this purchase. For someone that knows how to do these things it is a good purchase. If you do not know how, you can visit a number of sites on line that is dedicated to straight razor shaving. The skills can be learned in a few evenings reading postings of other men that know how and impart their knowledge and wisdom freely.
Eventually you will have to purchase a set of honing stones for yourself, at some point in time you will need them or have the knife sent off to be honed. This is true of all straight razors no matter where you purchase them.
If you are prepared to learn and try it yourself it is a good purchase/project kit.
