Hey everyone. It's been a (long) while since I've actually bothered to log in to post, but I've been DE shaving for a couple years now (thanks to a very generous PIF). I feel my technique is pretty up-to-snuff, now, being able to do a daily 3-pass shave with my sensitive skin.
Anyways, I have a friend who bought an Art of Shaving kit for someone, and apparently they didn't work out, but she can't return it because AoS has an all-sales-final policy on items with razors in them. So she's offering to sell it to me still in the packaging for $100.
I'll be honest, I've always been very curious about straight razors, but never read much about them. Art of shaving brand has been illusive to me because of their high price point, so I never bothered to read much about them. Do they make quality products? Is it worth the investment? Or is something better at the price point?
Here's the individual products in the kit:
Black Straight Razor (doesn't specify thickness)
DOVO Small Hanging Strop
Full Size Kit with Pure Badger Black Brush
Opinions?
