The Ultimate Beginner's Wet Shaving Kit – Safety Razor, Black Badger Brush & Soap Set

Stop dreading the morning. Start enjoying the ritual.

If shaving feels like a chore—if you deal with razor burn, ingrown hairs, and the constant "sticker shock" of buying expensive plastic cartridges—it is time to make a change.

Welcome to the club.

The Beginner's Wet Shaving Kit is the perfect entry point into the world of traditional grooming. We have stripped away the confusion and curated the three essential tools you need to get the best shave of your life, right out of the box.

Why make the switch?

• Better Skin: Multi-blade cartridges cut hair below the skin level, causing ingrown hairs. Our single-blade safety razor cuts cleanly at the surface, eliminating irritation and bumps.
• Better Wallet: Stop paying the "Cartridge Tax." Once you own this razor, replacement blades cost pennies, not dollars. This kit pays for itself in a few months.
• Better Experience: This turns a 5-minute annoyance into a 10-minute ritual that leaves you feeling fresh, clean, and confident.

What’s Inside the Box:

1. The Hardware: Precision Safety Razor This isn't a plastic toy. This is a heavyweight, chrome-plated instrument designed to last a lifetime. It is weighted perfectly so you don't have to apply pressure—you just let gravity do the work. It provides a close, comfortable shave without the aggression of more advanced razors. A five pack of blades is included.

2. The Engine: Badger Shaving Brush You can't get a good shave with your fingers. This high-density black badger shaving brush is the engine of your morning routine. It whips air and water into the soap to create a thick, protective lather. Simultaneously, the bristles gently exfoliate your skin, lifting the whiskers up to be cut cleanly.

3. The Fuel: Rustic Shaving Soap (4oz) We chose our Rustic (Vegan) base for this kit for one reason: Lather Explosion. This formula is incredibly easy to use. Even if you have never used a brush before, this soap explodes into a rich, slick, high-cushion foam in seconds. It is packed with Shea Butter to moisturize your face while you shave.

How to Shave (in 4 Steps)

1. Load: Wet your brush and swirl it on the soap puck for 30 seconds until the bristles are pasty.
2. Lather: Build the lather directly on your face or in a bowl. Add drops of water until it looks like shiny yogurt.
3. Shave: Hold the razor at a 30-degree angle. Take short strokes. Don't press down—let the weight of the razor cut the hair.
4. Rinse: Splash with cold water and feel the difference.

SELECT YOUR SCENT

Barbershop

Crisp. Clean. Classic.

Primary Notes: Powdery Musk, Oakmoss, Bergamot.

The Vibe: The quintessential scent of a clean shave. We looked to the old-world Italian barbering tradition to create a fragrance that is crisp, powdery, and timelessly masculine. It is the olfactory equivalent of a hot towel and a straight razor—clean, sharp, and confident.

The Profile: This isn't just a soap scent; it is a time capsule. We started with a classic base of powdery musk and oakmoss, then brightened it with zesty bergamot and orange. To give it that signature depth, we layered in earthy patchouli and a finishing touch of geranium. It pairs perfectly with our matching aftershave to complete the ritual.

Who It’s For: The Traditionalist. This is for the man who appreciates ritual and routine. It is the perfect "Daily Driver"—safe enough for a conservative office, but classic enough to feel luxurious. If you want to smell simply clean rather than "perfumed," this is your scent.

Black Amber

Rich. Smooth. Sophisticated.

Primary Notes: French Vanilla, Rustic Amber, Black Myrrh.

The Vibe: Sophisticated, rich, and undeniably smooth. This scent captures the atmosphere of a finely furnished study: leather-bound books, a glass of rare scotch, and quiet confidence. It is a classic profile updated for the modern gentleman who appreciates the finer things.

The Profile: A decadent blend that balances sweetness with shadow. We began with rich French Vanilla to provide a creamy, inviting opening. To keep it masculine and grounded, we combined it with rustic amber, black Myrrh, and a splash of Egyptian Musk. The result is a warm, complex aroma that draws people in without overpowering the room.

Who It’s For: The Modern Gentleman. Ideal for date nights, evening events, or cooler weather. This is for the man who wants a scent that invites people closer rather than shouting across the room. If you prefer warmth over citrus, this is the one.

Gaelic Tweed

Fresh. Green. Refined.

Primary Notes: Lemon Verbena, Violet Leaf, Sandalwood.

The Vibe: Invigorating freshness and pure masculinity. Modeled after the legendary Green Irish Tweed, this is a sophisticated masterpiece that feels like a brisk walk through the rolling countryside. It is green, refined, and perfect for the man who commands respect without raising his voice.

The Profile: A true classic never fades. The fragrance opens with a sharp, energetic blast of lemon verbena and peppermint. As it settles, the heart reveals fresh iris and violet leaf, finally resting on a deep, woody base of sandalwood and ambergris. It is a masterful, airy blend that smells like success.

Who It’s For: The Professional. Whether you are in the boardroom or on the back nine, this scent projects competence and class. It is versatile enough for year-round wear but shines brightest in the spring and summer. If you want to smell established and sharp, start here.

Mahogany

Deep. Spicy. Woody.

Primary Notes: Mahogany Wood, Cedar, Allspice.

The Vibe: Deep, woody, and a little bit dangerous. One customer’s wife described it simply as "sensual, woody, and spicy." It strikes the perfect balance between sweet and rugged, evoking the feeling of walking through a dense, ancient forest.

The Profile: A complex fragrance for those who want to stand out. The foundation is a robust note of mahogany and cedar, providing a heavy wood base. We then accented it with warm allspice and vanilla to add a touch of sweetness, before rounding it out with bergamot and patchouli. It is spicy, sexy, and incredibly distinct.

Who It’s For: The Rugged Romantic. This is for the man who is just as comfortable in a flannel shirt as he is in a tailored suit—provided he smells distinct. It is a heavier scent, making it perfect for fall, winter, or evenings out. If you want to be remembered after you leave the room, choose Mahogany.

Olympus

Smoky. Fruity. Powerful.

Primary Notes: Pineapple, Birch Smoke, Blackcurrant.

The Vibe: Fit for a king. Named after the home of the Greek gods and inspired by the profile of Aventus, this is a scent of conquest. It is a provocative mix of creamy smoke and crisp fruit that projects power and authority.

The Profile: A magnificent example of a "Fruity Chypre" fragrance. The experience begins with an initial blast of fresh pineapple, apple, and blackcurrant. As it dries down, that fruitiness gives way to a smoky, creamy heart of birch, juniper berries, and jasmine. The base anchors the scent with warm vanilla, oakmoss, musk, and sandalwood. It is a journey from fresh to smoky that lasts all day.

Who It’s For: The Leader. This is a "Power Scent" designed for high-stakes environments. It is for the ambitious man who wants his presence to be felt. It projects high energy and confidence, making it a favorite for big meetings or nights out on the town.

Sandalwood

Warm. Creamy. Grounded.

Primary Notes: Pure Sandalwood, Cedar, Patchouli.

The Vibe: The real deal. Forget the flowery, synthetic imitations you find in drugstores—this is a true, woody sandalwood. It is warm, sensual, and grounded, designed for the man who prefers the scent of fresh shavings over cologne.

The Profile: We stayed true to the source material. Instead of leaning into floral notes, we focused on the dry, creamy woodiness that makes sandalwood famous. While we use a hint of pure sandalwood essential oil, we bolstered the profile with earthy patchouli, cedar, and amyris to create a robust, enduring wood scent.

Who It’s For: The Purist. Ideal for the man who dislikes "cologne" but loves natural, earthy aromas. It is a grounded, everyday scent for the guy who prefers substance over flash. If you want a scent that is intimate and relaxing, Sandalwood is the standard.

Tobacco

Herbal. Crisp. Modern.

Primary Notes: Cured Tobacco Leaf, Bay Leaf.

The Vibe: Green, fresh, and surprisingly modern. Put aside thoughts of cigarettes or ashtrays—this is the scent of the curing tobacco leaf itself. It is upbeat, clean, and versatile enough to wear from the office to the golf course.

The Profile: This is a "green" tobacco scent that defies expectations. The star of the show is the cured tobacco leaf and flower, which provides a rich, herbal aroma. We blended this with top notes of bay leaf and fir to create an intoxicating, crisp finish. It’s clean, masculine, and our second most popular scent for a reason.

Who It’s For: The Everyday Explorer. This is for the man who wants something unique but not overpowering. It is versatile enough for the 9-to-5 grind but interesting enough for happy hour. If you are tired of generic "Sport" or "Citrus" scents and want something with more character, this is your upgrade.

Au Naturel (Unscented)

Pure. Simple. Effective.

Primary Notes: Unscented (Raw Ingredients).

The Vibe: Sometimes, the best scent is no scent at all. We stripped this down to the bare essentials: premium ingredients and elite performance. Whether you are a hunter looking to go undetected, a professional in a scent-free workplace, or a connoisseur who wants to wear a specific cologne without interference, this is your solution.

The Profile: Clean, simple, and strictly business. It smells only of the raw, natural soaps and oils used to create it. Note: Contains no fragrance oils or essential oils.

Who It’s For: The Pragmatist. Designed for hunters, healthcare workers, or men with sensitive skin. It is also the perfect choice for the man who wears a high-end cologne and doesn't want his grooming products to clash with his signature scent.
