I would have bailed on the pre shave oil and the Harry’s shaving cream and replaced it with the van der Hagen 4-piece shave gift set. It costs $24.99 and it comes with a brush,brush holder, bowl and an actual hard shave soap. So the gift set, plus the DE razor for $20.99 and the Nivea post shave balm, that would have put you at $52. Just barely over budget for a WAY more satisfying shave, in my opinion. 👍🏽
That was my first wet shaving set. I passed the mug down to my son when he started wet shaving along with the king handled VDH TTO. it works good with a sharp blade like the Bic chrome
That set plus the Micro Touch One TTO was my first wet shaving kit back in 2015.
yes also here in mexico you can buy this set and the razor is the same as the one he bought TTO twist too open ., the soap is very good for the price in the kit van der hagen
Yep that is an AMAZING starter set
So it’s worth buying the set? I have the VDH razor and the nice after shave
This is the kind of video that could help someone try wet shaving without spending a lot. Skip the shaving oil and Harry's cream. Shaving creams like Proraso make thick, cushiony brush lathers. I don't know if Target had any but there are under $15-20 synthetic brushes out there. Even a $2 can of Barbasol would be better than the Harry's cream. The bottom line is that there are better options available for beginners. I agree with you that a better razor would give the kind of shave that experienced wet shavers enjoy. And you can never go wrong with Nivea. Once a newbie gets hooked, the rabbit hole gets bigger 😉
I'd disagree with you on the Barbasol.
It has zero slickness in.y experience.
You'd be better off using cremo or a shave stick..
I don't think that Harry's will have anything decent as far as shaving cream is concerned..
Cremo is the best retail option..oh and would products sold at CVS are great for what they are..
@@rauldelarosa2768 That's why we say YMMV.
@@BartBuzz agreed
I've shaved with the Van Der Hagen and I agree that it's a mild razor that's good for beginners. The Nivea balm is an absolute All Star because of how good and affordable the product is.
That’s funny I agree with you. As a beginner I use the van der hagen de razor and the Nivea after shave balm. 😂
It’s fascinating how many different reactions are to the Van Dar Hagen razor; to me it was not mild at all. It literally was aggressive for my face, and I couldn’t get a shave without a cut. Yet others find it the opposite. I guess faces are different. To me it was very aggressive; faces must all experience different razors. People seem to either love or hate the Van Dar Hagen.
@@johnanderson3700 I think they change the blades recently I have no proof for it but they used to be so smooth for me and in the past few months it’s just so aggressive and they don’t work
Is Bevel good for beginners?
i used the micro touch one version of it and paired with astra blades it cuts very well.
You got a bag? That’s crazy! They are Outlawed in New Jersey
Did you forget, you have already tossed that razor across the room! It's the same chinese razor just rebranded as VanDerHagen.
That’s what He said.
I actually started my wet shaving journey with the Bevel kit. The Bevel shave cream is actually not bad, you do need to build the lather with the brush. The Bevel 3pcs razor is mild and did a good job. To this day I still use there balm, really like it. The Bevel kit was a good place to start. Sometimes you can find highly discounted at Target.

I started with just the king c Gillette razor and cremo shaving cream both from target because “it looked cool”, added a bowl and brush after a couple weeks and was hooked. That was 3 or 4 years ago now but it got me to love shaving instead of it being a chore I had to do for work
I feel like a 15 dollar Gillette. Some Gillette sensitive 3 and some Harry’s post shave balm 8 would have sufficed 😂 but that’s just me. 26 or so bucks….
Edit: I did get the bevel brush! So worth it!
Edit edit: I changed my mind I’d rather pay more for the shaving cream 😂
Just got home from Target with the Bevel full kit. Was $27 cheaper than marked ($62.99). Also got Gillette King C. Both seem really nice.
Both Nivea aftershave balms are absolutely worth looking into. Readily available quality products. The one you bought is lightly scented and doesn't contain alcohol, the other is a bit more "traditional" and intense with alcohol.
Nivia do multiple post shave balms, neither the "sensitive" (dark blue label on white background) or "sensitive cool" (light blue label on dark background) contain alcoholic (and are lightly scented). The same is true for their sensitive shaving gel. I've never tried their non "sensitive" products.
Ive used the Duke Cannon aftershave balm and i actually really enjoy it. I think its a eucalyptus and menthol product? Anyone else have any experience or recommend something a little higher quality that has the same qualities?
I have a tube of Harry's. It's really good for lubeing the blade when your hair is really close. It's not supposed to lather. You need to constantly add water.
A pre-shave oil is a must for me. Less skin irritation and added smoothness. I only use my hands to apply my homemade shaving cream. Great shave results, repeatedly.
...Shavette, straight razor, and safety razor shaving is for "real men". True manliness!
...Also black men must shave "with the grain".
My wife bought a VDH kit - a brush, soap, the razor and in addition some of their shave butter, which is a shave cream and aftershave balm in one they claim and that was what i learned to DE shave with. The little brush i got was a synthetic and i still use that today now and then.
It's a reasonably cheap method of starting to DE shave and if you decide to carry on at least you can get the basics of technique and lathering learned before dropping a bucket-load of cash on other products. That comes a bit later!

I just realized that you’re a tall guy too! I’m 6’8” and I kept asking my wife “is that how I look when I’m in a store?” Lol. Glad to see that the t-shirt fits tall guys too *hint Cool video, have a good weekend
Cremo will lather a bit more than Harry’s. Not as much as good shaving soap of course but it is slick and in my experience works for a quick shave. As does, btw, hair conditioner that does not lather. Neither need preshave product but hair conditioner works for that too. For me the most important part of wet shaving is the “wet” part - meaning the brush, soap, and water. The inexpensive boar brushes available locally work just fine - especially after breaking in. For a razor available when traveling or “stranded” the Gillette Skin Guard is excellent. Has two blades but spaced so as to not have hysteresis effect. (I like to use on Parker short metal travel handle but inexpensive combo handle and 1 or 2 carts almost always available for
In Europe you can get an incredible kit for $50: Nom (Muhle) brush for $7, Proraso preshave, soap and aftershave for $17 and an original Muhle razor with a R89 head for $23. You add a pack of Wilkinson blades and you are set.
I just started wet shaving with DE razors a month ago. I bought the Bevel Shave Cream along with the Van der Hagen safety razor. After getting over the nicks and cuts of the first couple of days, I started getting some skill with it. I bought some Harry's Shave Cream a week or two later to try it. THUMBS DOWN! It's terrible! They must have a different purpose in mind for it, possibly to be used with their cartridge razors, (which I had been using for the past few years). I'll try other shave creams to see what I like best. The Bevel cream is fine for me for now--and I even bought the Bevel Safety Razor as well a couple of weeks in. I'm 68 and had never shaved with a DE Safety Razor in my life. (I had a beard from age 20 to 50. Prior to growing my beard, I used an electric shaver on the rare days I needed a shave, and upon shedding my beard at 50--done in a barbershop--I have used cartridge shavers.) I just got fed up with the process, particularly spreading shaving cream on my face with my hands. I first decided to get a shaving brush to take care of the hand application, and I quickly thought--"Why not try going totally old school?" I did and I find I am much more engaged in my daily shaving process, rather than just being faintly irritated by it, to the point of skipping days just to avoid the process. I now actively enjoy shaving.
my first DE was a van der hagen. they're pretty good for the money! pair an astra or gillette platinum with a good soap, and that's what got me into the hobby a few years back.
I started shaving in the 80's the ara of crocodile Dundee where a clean shaved man was expected to be able to light a match on his face and with that I'll wish you a giddy
As there is no Target in Germany I replace this with the drugstore chain Müller, and as a specification, getting a cheap set for someone who wants to see, is wetshaving with a saftey razor for me, or getting an emergency kit.
Razor: Wilkinson Classic (incl. 5 Blades) -> 2.95 €
Soap: Speick Shaving Stick -> 3.15 €
Brush: Aveo Men (own brand), pig bristle -> 2.99 €
AS: Aveo After Shave Balm -> 2,95 €
At all round 12 €, and it is quiete a decent experience, though I do not like the Wilkinson Blades. You can switch out the razor and the AS and still stay quite under the 50 $ price limit.
Not sure if i saw this video until now.🤣😂 Not a lotion/cream guy myself so I know that look you gave when you first applied it may be the same as mine. I joke and say it feels like I'm applying mustard. 😂🤣 The cream in a tube is good when healing up from a techmatic shave (tube creams do misturize for sure). The clogging from creams in a tube though. Some people prefer the shave cream. Love my soaps dude! 🤣😂 Your rinsing off at the end. 😂🤣 That's what i do too!!! 🤣😂
This, will cut. Lolll. Seen that show so many times. Good vid! That Bevel DE Razor might be something to check out! Idk about $50 tho?
A foaming shave cream like barbosol would work better than the tube stuff.
Interesting vid. I'm certainly not rich 😭 and having been a heavy goods vehicle mechanic for 30 years I know the joy of working with good quality tools. Therefore I always buy the best I can afford no matter it be a spanner, kettle or in this case shaving products.
At 63 I've only just switched to de shaving and while interesting as this vid was I feel if anyone deciding to dip their toe into de shaving may well be discouraged from picking up a safety razor again after using these products.
I did what you suggested and started with a 34c. I found that a tad mild and also I must have got a bad one as the blade protruded more one side than the other which revealed itself when flipping the razor. Typical, if I fell into a barell of tits I'd come out sucking my thumbs 😡 hey ho.
I now have an Edwin Jagger R366 CRSR Black & Chrome paired with Proraso Red soap finishing off with Red balm and couldn't be happier.
My advice to anyone pondering on joining the brotherhood spend the most you can afford but choose wisely and I guarantee your first razor won't be your last once you catch the bug 😏
I live in 🇬🇧 and quite 🤢 with envy that we don't have such prestigious shaving outlets here like Razor Emporium and Shave Nation.
Come over and well be more than happy for you to take our British Dollars 💵 🤣😂🤣
Ive been using the van der hagen DE saftey razor with their blades. Ive recently pulled the trigger on castle forbes lavender shaving cream and after shave with a razor emporium badger brush. Im looking for a suggestion on a razor with better quality that doesnt break the bank and getting a sample pack of the mild razor blades or possibly more agressive blade from razor emporium. Also have been using the DE razor for over 8 months idk if thats important or not.
Local stores should probably have some inexpensive but proven shaving creams. Arko, Karo, Derby, but not this one...)
Great video! I hope we get some converts. Put a Feather or Bic in that puppy and you would have a little better experience! I actually won't start a shave without my Shave Secret oil. I've been using it for years, and started with it during my cartridge days. It's thin and doesn't clog. I use only 10 drops and use it for insurance, even with my $20-$30 soaps. Cremo shave cream was great in my cartridge days, but once I started with Proraso Red and TOBS Sandalwood with a brush, there was no turning back. Once I discovered the Arko stick and shaved every day with it until it was done, tallow-based soaps are the only way! Slickness AND cushion. Now, I'm knee deep in artisanal soaps. Thanks again!
Seat of my pants!!! Oh dude, I cringed when you went for the Van Der Hagen. That was my first DE razor, and it treated me real bad. Newbs want smooth so they don't stop with a mild razor until they have horrible razor rash. That's what happened to me anyway, because I didn't know what I was doing. There's mild, and then there's too mild. Hindsight being 20/20, in a Target I'd grab a King C., a can of Barbasol, and some Duke Cannon balm. If they didn't have a King C., I'd grab a mach 3.
I’m in the UK so wouldn’t be Target. I do however think for the equivalent of $50 I could walk into a supermarket and get much better products. King C Gillette or Wilkinson Classic, Wilkinson brush, some kind of shave stick, blades and a Nivea balm. £30ish?
The only better value than the Nivea post shave balm I found was at fragrancex where I got Tommy Bahama Set Sail Martinique, Christian Audigier Skulls & Roses, Kenneth Cole Vintage Black and Vince Camuto after shave balm for less than 6$ per 100ml.
WOW, not in my area! Here, the usual alternatives in malls and supermarkets, unless specialized, are multiblade disposable razors of course, plenty of them, and maybe a couple models from King Gillette, from their new lineup, the infamous Wilkinson black plastic one (which is not bad IMHO) and, some local rebranding of Chinese made razors which in turn resemble the heads of some Gillette Tech. Not bad, but not as impressive as your findings! No Bevel, not VDH, etc. at least here in Spain, anywhere I've tried.
And that's for razors, for blades is even worse, most of the time they don't sell them, or they have King Gillette's and/or Wilkinson, period.
Brushes? Even worse. Before, I could at least find the boar one from Wilkinson but not anymore. Now the one I can find is some rebranded boar brush, Chinese made, with the stamp of the supermarket chain selling it, but it's the same in all of them. The smell is horrible, the quality very poor, and it's not cheap.
On aftershaves, since they're a product you can actually use even if you use disposable razors, I have plenty of choices.
I live near Madrid and my only option is Internet. I bet I could find some specialized store in Madrid but they have closed most of them and the ones remaining are expensive and with not a lot of assortment.
All this said, if I had to go to a local supermarket here I would buy a stick of shaving soap from La Toja or LEA (local brands, very good) for about 2 euros, a boar shaving brush for about 6 euros, Wilkinson black plastic razor including blades for about 8 euros, and a nice aftershave of your choice, averaging 6 euros for quality products, so it would be about 22 euros, which with current rate is a bit more than 22 dollars but not that much.
So I bought the Vander Hagen a few weeks ago, I really like it. I’ve tried the King C Gillette blades with it, and I just destroyed my face with those blades, so I’ve been using the Vander Hagen blades, and like them a lot. I am gonna purchase a blade test kit with a few different brands and see what razor works best.
Not a true wet shave without a brush. Harry's, lol...the Apple of shaving...people buying into hype instead of the quality/cost of product.
That Nivea after shave balm is a good product. 👍
The big box stores are definitely beginning to carry, or expand their selection of DE razors and wet shaving supplies. To my skin, a Flair Tip Super Speed is smoother than the Weishi. However, that doesn't make the Weishi a bad razor, just not as good overall imo. A badger shave brush with a quality shave soap will obliterate any canned goo or brushless cream, bar none. Cannot go wrong with Nivea. Fun and informative video!
Shave oil is totally over-rated. It clogs anything including a straight razor where it just coats the edge so it can't do it's work at 100% efficiency. It also ruins brushes leaving them not able to absorb water as it's now covered in oil. I've used it once and had to shampoo the brush afterwards to stop it gripping my face with the oil.
"Man if you're having all those signs you should be thinking what products your using that's causing all that! Lol.
As much as I complain about being able to get products locally at least one of our grocery stores sells Proraso green tubes for like $8. Thankfully we have online places like yours.
I live in Thailand, where shaving isn't really even a thing, so I fully understand how you feel where things are hard yo find.
@@leehaseley2164 yeah and when your spending good money on a soap or aftershave it would be nice to actually smell it like at a physical location. Or hold a brush in your hand. I ordered a Simpson T2 brush online and although I love it I believe if I saw in person I’d probably get the larger T3.
This Big Box store adventure is Joke right.
Think Matt could have done better spend more money at a Sun City garage/estate sale.
Better to shop Razor Emporium in Phoenix.🥳
I, like many others, started with the Van Der Hagen. Really not the worst thing to begin with. I’d maybe try some witchhazel. Some Barbasol would have been better than the Harry’s.
Bevel shave products are the best! If a race of men who are prone to getting razor burns, and bumps and ingrown hairs when they shave, can use the product and receive a clean soft face, then anybody can really benefit from it. Definitely superior in my opinion.
If you don't normally like to use pre-shave oil (I never do), then why waste money on it? You could've bought an entry-level brush and some real soap, like Proraso Green.
UK. In pound land you can buy Bic yellow single blade razors 10 for £1 and shaving foam £1.
For £2 you are set.
I started off with the Van Der Hagan razor and used it for a few weeks. It was extremely mild and worked okay. I quickly upgraded. However the Van Der Hagan soap has been something I still get because it just works so well, even with my aggressive razors.
Where can I get the soap?
Nice video. You should have bought the Gillette Pure shave cream in the tube. It lathers and is far superior. I like the Dove Men Care face wash. I find l get a better shave if l wash first. You can leave it on as a preshave. Noxema is another choice for preshave. I would have bought some Pinaud Clubman, just because l love the smell. The Bevel razor looks higher quality, but l have never tried it.
There's already plenty of comments of what you could have purchased versus what you did. I just want to know what is your kit. When you shave with the good stuff. You should make a Matt kit on your website.
Van Dar Hagen for me is too aggressive. I couldn’t find everything for $50 had to get a better razor; ended up with Gillette.
I started with the Nivea post- shave balm too, but if I was going to make one swap, it would be that for witch hazel. Thayer's is the best and available everywhere
When you later did use a brush, you should have also tried adding water to what looks like your face-lather. Be wetter and maybe give the peaks you wanted.
Van der Hagen. Dutch sounding name. The windmill logo makes it also look like a Dutch brand. Made in China.....
The blades are good and so is the Nivea balm. The razor is like you say... very mild for beginners but it is a good deal as it includes de blades. The pre-shave oil is not needed and instead I would look for a better shaving cream.. Cremo is not bad and Target has it. I probably save you $10 or so... so get yourself a nice six pack. You are welcome.
The Van Der Hagen was my gateway to a Henson. I still have it for when I travel. Far superior to a Mach 3 or similar
Noxzema, or house brand makes a great preshave - comparable to Proraso
A can of Barbasol or if you get a brush, a can of the Gillette blue goo whips up nicely in a bowl.
unbranded Personna Israeli Reds from 99¢ store
for an alternative razor, the 'Shaveley' $7 TTO razor from Dollar General has impressed a couple of UA-camrs with a good shave
Plan ahead options:
$10 Old Type Ball End Handle from Etsy or E-Bay
$10 synthetic brush - Maseto on E-Bay
Ah yes the VDH shaving set, what I started with and I think about a year down the road I’ve swapped it all no with the King CG razor, a Rockwell brush and Lea soap
I love the Nivea post-shave. It's da bomb... I mean da balm.
Thanks for that. Hopefully, I'll be visiting the US in Oct. All going well, I'll get one of your shirts. Bet wishes form New Zealand
brush knot comes apart to fix this problem use e7000 waterproof glue wheelchair Larry
i don´t think its supposed to foam up the Harris shaving cream, oh like you oils don´t like ´em pre-shave creams like Proraso way better, oh i´m Danish we dont have that many DE products in stores only online
Dunno I did fine with dollar shave club shave butter and water,plus the barbosal 1918 shave cream the tube is good.
What about travel outside of the US? Are DE blades available in stores in the UK? EU? I would rather carry my razor in the carry on and find blades when I arrive!
One thing I envy about Americans are their variety. Nivea is a German brand and dove I feel is French but either way European… and in Europe there are no options. The biggest stores sell the same shit and if they have a more refined piece that’s not over marketed you find either an in-home brand or at most 2 options.
I use Barbasol which is the opposite of the Harry's cream. Lots of cushion but as dry as cannoli filling.
I have a yaqi clone of the razor you were holding at 1:28 and it’s actually very efficient, which you don’t really feel when you use it, but you do easily overshave with it if you don’t take care. I thought it was an ikon clone of days past? Maybe that would have gotten a better shave than the harry’s razor?
I started with the van der hagen razor that the one he has, the same nivea after shave balm, the nivea sensitive calm liquid shaving cream the green pump bottle, and artic blue after shave. I have some generic brush but looking for something better. Is the van der hagen shaving set for $26 worth it? It come with a brush, a cup and some shave soap.
Good concept video, lure them into the traditional wet shaving world!! Are you going to go really far and use a can of goo next?!?!? 😉😂
I really like this kind of videos. So we can see what's out there in the rest of the world.
Van der Hagen has also the Merkur Futur clone (not in every store) and I think it's around the same price. Way better option 👍🏻
What’s that? A de razor?
My mum sent me some Harry's balm from England and I have to say that it is a great product.
If they had the Wilkinson sword classic 2 that would have been a better razor. I have heard they are around $20 in the US.
I applaud you for doing this. You run a business selling these items and you told people what they can get at a much lower price. For beginners that’s fantastic.
Now, you did 50 dollars. How about 100 dollars out of your shop? Can it be done? Get the camera.
Easily
@@RazorEmporium Awesome!! Love the videos.
@@RazorEmporium By the way, I wasn’t trying to be a trolling dick. I was thinking more of a $100 video for those of us that are past the beginner stage but not yet pro level. I’ve been wet shaving a few years now, but still using a cartridge razor. I’d really appreciate video like that. Although, I have seen you recommending Merkur 34c for a starter. That’s probably what I’ll get, but I’ll admit, those DE razors scare me a little. They look like one wrong move and they’ll cut the shit right out of you. Help me, sensei.
Gillette pure shaving cream, aqua velva aftershave that’s what I would’ve gotten
Don’t know if they had it but Gillette Pure lathers very well for a supermarket product
Harry’s creams are not great. It doesn’t lather and has a greasy feel. But their aftershave balm is quite good. It’s not as wet as the Nivea, but goes on clean and has a good mild sent.
What about the gillette gel product? Ive not used it in years, but I remember it working fairly well
Maybe lose the oil and choose some higher quality blades. Still a helpful exercise though.
I'd do the bevel brush, bevel razor, Nivea balm, and plain old Barbasol cream.
Nivea has a canned shaving cream for around $5 and you would have had your peaks without a brush.
nivea shaving creams are better than harrys . pre shave just use e45 cream and king c gilette for de for aftershave balm go all out buy designer fragrance one
Im always curious to see what hardware and software big grocery stores and pharmacies carry…maybe find a new hidden gem
You’re a brave man. I could see that you were terrified before taking your first stroke.
I was surprised that my Target had It's own like 2 isle section for men's grooming and care! Honestly, it's rare to see a ton of space for men's stuff! Lots of options and it was nicely presented with a wood floor and such!
I tried out the dollar shave club shave butter at target before. It's alright. smells nice, but is clear, so kinda hard to use i suppose! Probably better for lining up stuff. The Harry's post shave Balm is great! I love it! it smells so good and is soothing! Honestly pretty good! The Nivea Balm is nice too! Soft, smooth, and clean scent! Also, do you have a PIZZA HUT in your target?! Amazing! 😅😆😎👌🏻
If you haven't done this already maybe try a shave with the same razor but upgrade everything else?
Gotta love the metal safety razors on the bottom shelf and the piece of garbage plastic in a plexiglass safehouse right at eye level
I bought some van der Hagen blades at target in a pinch. They pulled on my hair too much and seemed very dull.
Gillette King C + Wilkinson Swords Soap and boar Brush is less than 50$ easily. And very decent beginner kit.
Greetings from Romania! Here you can find a King C Gilette safety razor with 5 blades and a shaving gel from Gilette at only 10 euros. Pre shave from Proraso at 4 or 5 euros, shaving soap or creme ,also from Proraso at 4 to 7 euros and after shave Proraso with prices begining from 6 euros.
What about barbasol doesn't target have barbasol? That would've been great for a beginner.
Cremo has a nice line of creams at the stores. Also sally beauty supply carry’s better de razors and they are nation wide.
Weishi makes a decent razor, pair it with a good blade and your in business.
Great video, Matt! I would have bought Cremo for the pre shave, instead of that Harry”s junk. I use it for a preshave, and it is REALLY slick. Nivea is always in my den. Thanks again for another awesome video.
Get what you pay for from a company making money selling avg goods.
Wont be surprised if Harry comes out with DE products
Maybe Harry’s wasn’t meant to lather just like Cremo isn’t
When I was in Italy this is the kind of store where you get prorasso products, on the supermarket shelves. People just load them in their baskets. In the U.K. Nivea is held in high regard by medical professionals.
When my father had skin grafts after an explosion at work he was instructed to use Nivea skin cream on his skin after the skin grafts were complete. Nivea is serious stuff, they know what they are doing.
So say what you want Bic sensitive single blade orange and white is hard to beat I did just buy a Henson so we will see
I don’t call that and Cremo shave cream, it’s more like shave grease.
my local target doesn't have half that stuff. Thank god for the internet
Why do you keep adding water to shaving cream? It's not shaving soap.
Trying to make a good lather.
@@RazorEmporium Water does not help lather in shaving cream. It's not a soap.
Great video Matt it’s interesting to see the choice in the States. So, here’s what I’d of picked, obviously we don’t have Target 🎯 in Switzerland 🇨🇭 but in my local supermarket I have these available.
Razor 🪒- King C. Gillette (20.00€) or Wilkinson Sword DE razor. I think the King C. is an excellent 1st razor, it’s what I used to learn DE shaving.
Cream/ soap 🧼 - Palmolive cream (1.46€) or Speick Men Active soap (10.00€) or Nivea protect & care cream.
Post - Nivea aftershave balm as you used or Speick aftershave balm or Proraso Wood 🪵 & Spice balm! Yes that indeed available but only that one 😆.
Seems the razor you used it the common supermarket one in the States. But I have to say…… my Rex Konsul is the best 🪒 ever! 😆👍🏼. Have a great weekend & thanks for the awesome content!
Just stick to prorazo products from Italy in box store.
Can you get the Wilkinson classic in plastic and the Palmolive shaving cream over there. The razor just 2.50 to 3.50 over here and the cream you will get for 2 euro. The razor includes 5 blades. This set read my starting, 25 years ago.
There's two products are supreme also long-term.
Not at Target
