- Ladies Love the Addition of Shea Butter which leaves skin feeling smooth and nicely moisturized, not oily. Won't dry or irritate your skin like many shaving soaps, shaving creams and gels do.
- Larger in size than average mug shave soaps: will last about 3 - 6 months. 20 seconds in a Microwave fits it to any size shaving mug! Minimal light scent (almost none) which is fresh without being artificial. Ladies seem to like it!

As the title states, I'm new to straight razor shaving. I've never been able to get a close shave with disposable/cartridge razors, so I've been wanting to try this for quite some time. I finally bit the bullet and put together a cheap kit (want to see how I'll like it before spending a lot of money), which arrived yesterday.
The razor is a cheap, sub-$20 one from Amazon

The brush is a Perfecto badger, also from Amazon

And the Old Spice lather mug belonged to my father. Not shown is the strop.
I shaved with this set-up for the first time last night! I may have to hone the razor a bit more. I knew it wouldn't come shave ready, so I honed it, and stropped the heck out of it, but I feel as though it could be a bit sharper yet. I did not attempt the curves of my jaw line this first time. I only shaved the flats of my face and the flatter parts of my neck, then finished up with a cartridge razor. I need to develop a better technique before I try dragging this thing around curves. Without a doubt though, where I used the straight razor is as smooth as a baby's bottom. I've never had this close of a shave before.
/r/wicked_edge for alot of info but I just started shaving alone at 31! I started with a Shavette too so pretty hard. But my ritual works like a charm.
Remember always pat your face with the towel to dry. Dont rub.
Tips on how to shave with a DE are plentiful on youtube.
Enjoy. Feel like a Boss.
Ah man it's not a huge investment! They're SOOO much better than even the gillette platinum ones!
This is only 15 bucks for a solid handle. You can spend a lot more, but you don't need to.
Their blades aren't super expensive and they're noticably sharper than even the premium US brands and those you get from those boutique shops in the mall.
Match that with a solid Badger Hair brush and high quality moisturizing soap you're talking under 60 bucks total investment and it's a massive step up in quality and overall experience while shaving.
But for travel, a Defender razor with a pack of blades can't be beat. They're inexpensive, they are disposable, they last a reasonable amount of time, and apart from a premium safety razor, they shave closer than any other disposable I've found, even better than a mach 3, they also rinse super easy.
Well, after the responses here, I went ahead and bought cavendish himalayas as a filler item on amazon last night. Do you think thats a good place to start.
