The proraso products are nice but the razors edge is not sharp at all. I originally thought that i was doing something wrong so i went on you tube and watched the Razor Emporium video on honing that demonstrates hiw to tell if a razor is sharp. It said that a razor should be able to cut a free hanging hair so i tried this with one of my wife's hair from her brush and it wouldnt cut at all. The only thing it took off my face was the lather. I tried every angle and amout of pressure with no improvement and no amount of stropping helped. So i am back to my DE and am very disappointed in this product. I will say that the scales of the razor are very nice though.

I cant compate with other products, its my first time but im really sastify with this one. Thank You!

Product shipped fast. Nicely packaged. Got a twizzler too :) Razor was sharp, I stropped anyway to be sure. Works well!

Ive been wanting to get into straight razor shaving for about a year or so. Ive watched hundreds of videos. Found razor emporium and sen they offered the beginer set. I purchased it and tried it out and love it. The shave cream i wasmt a fan of the scent but it works. And the boars brush is nice, however i purchased a badger brush to use instead. The razor itself came ready to shave just as advertised. Did a 2 pass shave and it was the closest shave ive ever had. The pre shave is amazing. If new to the game i advise to also purchase a styptic pencil too. At some point you will need it. Just take your time and go slow
