Gentleman Jon Safety Razor Wet Shaving Kit - Complete 6pc Grooming Set | Vintage Shaving Set for Men, Includes Safety Razor, Shaving Brush, Alum Block, Shave Soap, Bowl & Double Edge Safety Blades

I bought this on a whim but I cannot begin to tell how much I love it. The durability of the metal handle is amazing and feels like it will last a lifetime and it fits so well in my hand. it does take a few shaves before one can be truly good at shaving, so its okay and expected if you nick yourself a few times here and there. Once you make it past the learning curve you’ll see how easy it is to use. The shave I get with this is so comfortably smooth that I look forward to every shave. This makes it an art and something one loves to do instead of a chore.

I just got this in and immediately tried it out. I’ve never used a razor set like this before, but with the prices of 5 blade responsible razors going through the roof and sways needing two of them to shave, I tried this. And it was amazing. Only needed one blade and everything needed for a great shave was in the box. I’m certain to same more money this way since the box of 50 blades is so cheap. And the shave was great. It cuts so close, so go slow. But all in all the best shaving experience I’ve had ever.

I'm new to DE safety razor shaving. So this kit was perfect for everything to get started. The only other thing I bought was a pre shave product. I’ve shaved 3 times so far using the kit and the same razor blade. Works great! It’s made shaving like a new hobby instead of a chore. I decided on trying DE shaving because the razors are so much cheaper than the cartridge refill type I’ve used before for years. So for the same price of a bunch of cartridege refills I bougjt this kit instead. Replacement razor blades are going to be cheap from here on out. And I’m getting a great shave. My skin also seems to be much happier with less signs of folliculitis like I would get before with the cartridge style. So here’s to happy shaving! All and all a great kit at a good value.

I got this for my fiancé and he found it to be a wonderful gift. They give instructions and warnings that it takes a bit to master which is helpful. It is a skill that has to be learned. You probably will knick yourself the first time, but the alum does well to help with the bumps and knicks. The design was sleek and the smell was light and not at all overwhelming. I will probably continue to purchase the razor blades. Not a razor to take with you abroad, but a sweet home routine for the men in your life.

This is my first time ever using a safety razor. firsts and foremost it is heavy duty and extremely well made, everything you will need to get started there was a very small learning curve but will not go back to a normal razor, it’s a cleaner shave and leaves little to no skin irritation!

Lovely set with a special vintage look plus affordability, thank you

Haven't used the razor yet, I also bought a WEISHI razor at the some time, I keep meaning to try it but just haven't yet. I bout this for everything but the razor, I would have paid the same for everything bought separately with the added bonus of getting a second razor included. The soap lathers very well and has a pleasant smell. The hair in the brush seems to be connected to the handle very well, I haven't hand any fall out. The alum block is solid and works. I think the stainless steel bowl is a little on the small side, I keep getting lather on the outside of the bowl I think if it was a little higher I wouldn't have that problem but it does its job and helps warm the later up. I've only tried a couple brands of blades thus far but I think the included Astar blades have convinced me that they are the right brand to use. The razor looks almost identical to the WEISHI I purchased, in-truth hind sight being what it is I probably should have saved the 20$ and used the one that came with this kit it is very solidly built, has the same length, and feel to be about the same weight .

The kit came as described but actually better. I was worried the razor and bowl would be out and jostling around hitting each other during shipping. But, to my relief, they were boxed up in their own tight fitting cardboard boxes. The Bowl: Nothing to fancy about the bowl. It's a little small. It has laser etched with the gentlemen Jon logo and was well done. Being stainless, at least I believe it's stainless, it conducts heat in a fast efficient manner. But having those properties, it also loses heat quickly; so a warm sink of water will do wonders keeping your lather nice and warm. Keep in mind that there is no place to keep your shave soap after you open it. (You're not supposed to build lather on top of the soap itself.) keeping that in mind, invest in a ceramic mug. It will take longer to warm up, but will retain heat for lather longer. Also, most ceramic mugs have handles that help to hold them solidly while whipping up a lather. Be warned that this bowl gets very slick when wet. The soap: I really liked the included soap puck. It smells nice, and the scent is not overpowering like some soaps can be. Leaves a nice slick base for smooth shaving of the face. I did have an issue on my second pass with against the grain shaving, but I have 600 grit sandpaper for a face, and attribute the roughness to that. The brush: Nothing to fancy here. Appears to be common pure badger hair, don't be expecting a silvertip quality brush at this kits' price. It gets the job done. I did have a couple of hairs fall out on first use, but most brushes I've used do that being new. Remember to use it with warm, not hot water, as the hot water will melt the glue holding the hairs in. The Razor: This razor feels very nice as far as weight goes. Good head weight but not as heavy as some other razors made today. Handle is longer than most, making this a great kit for the starting wet shaver switching from a cartridge setup. Remember to always let the razor do the work. More pressure you apply, more of a chance of life blood leaving your neck. The handle itself is one piece, and the head coming apart in two pieces. (see pics) the handle has the female threads, while the head has the male threads that screw into the handle. Knurled finish on the razor is top notch. No uneven ridges. The head of the razor itself has the brand laser etched as well and really shines against a vanity light. Looks slick. The Blades: The blade. The piece de resistance of a good shave in my opinion. The handle length and head weight of a razor can only do so much if the blade is lacking. I really rate these included Astra blades at a 2-3 sharpness level out of 5. (5 being the most aggressive, closet shave.) Again, think beginner level blades here. Sharp enough to get the job done, but not so sharp you're leaving a trail of blood droplets to the first aid kit. I tend to use feather blades for my third, against the grain cuts, due to coarseness of neck hair, and use a less sharp blade with the grain. Best advise is to buy a variety pack and find your own preferences. Everyone's skin is different. My skin isn't very sensitive, so I tend to lean towards sharper, less forgiving blades like feather. The Astras included are great for the beginning shaver that are a little wary about their beginning journey to wet shaving awesomeness. It's nice that they're numbered too, if you like to keep track of what side of the razor blade you're using for certain cuts. ie, first pass, second pass, etc. The Alum. Bloc: Second to last in your shave steps, but a first rate product is the potassium alum. block. Closes pores, stops weepers, and cools the face. Also lets you know what spot has been invisibly irritated from shaving. ie, burns a bit. Being potassium alum. Not ammonium alum., it doesn't sting as bad and is actually naturally occurring. (Ammonium alum. is man made) my blocks' container doesn't securely close so it will pop open if jostled, but will stay closed while on the counter. The block I received wasn't cut very square, but I'm kinda OCD about things. Overall: Great starter kit that will get the beginning wet shaver a start in the right direction without paying crazy prices and leaving room for upgrades later. If you're considering going into the art of wet shaving, this kit should be towards the top of your list.

Il prodotto sembra di ottima qualità. Metto 2 stelle perché la scatola non comprende le lame, presenti invece in foto.
