Razor emporium is outstanding and this was a well thought out kit. Everything one would need to venture into wet shaving...I still use many of the items in this kit weekly. You can see them reviewed on my channel. Link below. https://youtube.com/@sicilian510

I ordered the "Give it a Try" set as it was very reasonably priced to where it was "worth the experiment." I used disposable cartridges for many years and was frustrated with the amount of waste, the high cost, and how relatively quickly the blades dulled. I have been very happy with my DE Safety Razor! The weight of the razor feels appropriate in my hand, and I have quickly improved my technique by holding it differently for different parts of my face. I also additionally bought the Proraso pre-shave cream and a larger tube of the Proraso shaving cream. The blades have stayed sharp long, and every time I use a new blade I make a small Sharpie mark, so that I know the orientation of the blade when I shave and clean. This helps me maximize one part of the blade until I feel it's a bit dull before I switch to the other side. Waste is near nothing, blades don't dull, and cost now is next to nothing per shave!

I'm so happy I just jumped into this. Extremely new just received my premium kit today. Tested it out shaving around a full beard and it feels like I got a fresh line up from my barber. I'm so... happy that I picked this up just watching the YouTube vids with ease. Thank you and won't be going back to cartridge razors.

This may be better than I expected. The razor is excellent. This is the smoothest shave I had ever. The shave cream and aftershave are very good. First time safety razor user.
