Viking Revolution Luxury Safety Razor Shaving Kit – Includes Double Edge Safety Razor, Stand, Bowl, After-Shave Balm, Pre-Shave Oil, Badger Brush – Safety Razor Kit

Awesome starting razor kit
This razor kit is amazing. For the price it’s definitely a steal. I used to use cartridges, but it’s ridiculously expensive and made my skin break out. I’d %100 recommend this to anyone swapping over. I’ve cut myself a few times but that’s because I’m still trying to get used to it. The lather, oil, and aftershave balm is great and doesn’t make my acne worse.

A good starter kit for ditching cartridge razors
I’ll give my BLUF (bottom line up front) before I get in to the review:Who this safety razor kit is for: folks like me that are tired of paying for and getting their face cut up by cartridge razors, those that want it all in one kit and don’t want to shop around and paying more or are concerned with mixing brands, and those, again like myself, who are new to safety razors and wanted to see what all the hype is about.Who this safety razor kit is NOT for: “aficionados” that buy anything at all with the expectation of near perfection and people that actually know what they are doing and could stand to spend a few extra bucks on shopping around for higher quality soaps, DE blades, brush, and razor itself.Overall, my perception of this kit was that of a nice ENTRY LEVEL kit into the world of safety razor shaving. Due to me being new to the art form, my review may be more desirable to those like myself that are tired of spending so much on cartridge razors and wanted to try safety razor shaving out for the first time and less desirable to those that are incredibly familiar with safety razors and the art of shaving with one (so keep your “you don’t know what you’re talking about”s to yourself).I was a little concerned with the handle being a bit too short for me to find comfortable but was happy to find it felt just fine in my hand when I used it. The brush was a totally alien concept for me to use relying on shaving creams up until this point, but I don’t feel that I could ever go back. It’s a good brush, and I thoroughly enjoyed using it. The soap has a pleasant, if subtle, scent and leaves a bit more to be desired for those looking for something that smells nice like myself. The pre-shave oil definitely is as it states. Though scentless, it works fairly well as a pre-shave in my opinion. The post shave balm works wonderfully to moisturize your face following a shave and kind of reminds me of the Nivea balm I typically use having a more sensitive face, but this stuff had a more “muted” scent. I don’t have any complaints about the material of the stand, razor handle, and bowl are made of though I also do not have much to compare it against with this being my first safety razor kit.My ultimate concern came from my desire to have a close shave. Being in a job that requires a bald face, a close shave is really important to me as it is all or nothing. No unprofessional stubbles allowed. I was very pleasantly surprised with how close of a shave I got out of using the safety razor. Not only that, I had minimal nicks and irritation. Bear in mind that you definitely want to take your time using this razor, but I found that cutting down a 3 day stubble was less of a hassle than if I had used my cartridge razor!This is a wonderful kit if you are even just remotely interested in using a safety razor. I would give it a 5 if it had more smell to it, but the smell (or lack thereof) was my only complaint. I felt that the overall quality of the kit matches the price rather well considering that there are $34 badger hair brushes and $16 shaving soaps out there. I feel that I found my new favorite way to shave and I hope you find yours as well.Final recommendations:-Last minute morning shavers beware! This razor can and should take more time to shave with unless you are a wizard or are doing something more efficiently than I am. I get up fairly early and get ready for the day much earlier than most so it’s not much of an issue for me.-Try different blades out if you can. I found through researching this method of shaving that different blades have different shaving qualities and you may find that a particular brand of blades just work better for you. I cannot explain very well why, again, due to being new to this method of shaving.
