Edwin Jagger safety razors

We have recently added a new range of Edwin Jagger safety razors to the website. You can view them here Edwin Jagger Safety Razors.

Previously we only stocked Merkur safety razors as we found other brands to be inferior in quality. However, Edwin Jagger safety razors have proven themselves to be excellent in quality and craftmanship and we are delighted to offer them for sale.

Our Top 5 Shaving Tips

It is a suprisingly high number of men who believe that they have sensitive skin due to frequent shaving burn and rashes. In most cases this is caused by a poor shaving technique and can easily be solved by following a few simple tips.

1. Prepare your skin and beard before shaving

2. Use a quality shaving cream or soap

3. Shave 'with the grain'

4. Use a sharp blade

5. Use an aftershave product

Visit our website shaving information section for more detailed explanations of these tips and you could improve your shave today!

eShave products launched on site

eShave shaving products have been popular in the USA for many years now and we are delighted to be stocking them at The Traditional Shaving Company. They sell a full range of shaving creams, shaving soaps, pre-shave treatments and aftershave balms and soothers. I have been using their products daily for a few weeks now and I can say that they are excellent quality - easily as good as some of the popular brands produced in the UK. They are well worth giving a try - you can view the entire eShave product collection on our eShave products page.

Truefitt and Hill aftershaves and colognes

We have received our order of Truefitt & Hill aftershaves and colognes. These are now available to buy online.

It's always nice to complete an entire shave using one brand of products. This morning I used Truefitt & Hill 1805 shaving cream, followed by 1805 aftershave balm, followed by 1805 cologne and it feels great!

We are also planning to put together some Traditional Shaving custom gift sets that allow you to combine matching combinations of shaving cream, aftershave balms, aftershaves and colognes in a boxed gift set with a nice package discount.

Wet shaving starter kits

At The Traditional Shaving Company we know that there can be two obstacles to overcome when making the jump to traditional wet shaving.

Firstly there is such a large choice of shaving products available that it can be difficult to know what products to start with.

Secondly, although in the long term you will find traditional wet shaving to be much cheaper than alternatives, there can be a large up-front cost for equipment such as a safety razor and badger shaving brush.

It is for these reasons that we have developed our wet shaving starter kits.

Our starter kits have been put together using products generally regarded as excellent quality that are easy and straightforward enough for a new starter to use. By buying a wet shaving starter kit you can be sure that you will have everything you need to start wet shaving and that the products will be of the highest quality.

We have also heavily discounted the normal separate selling price of the products in the starter kits. By buying everything together you can save a lot of money and make the change to traditional wet shaving much more affordable.

Taylor of Old Bond Street aftershaves and colognes

We have recently expanded our range of Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving products to include the full lineup of Taylor of Old Bond Street aftershaves and colognes. These make excellent gifts on their own but are even better when combined with a matching shaving cream and/or aftershave balm.
