Thread: Budget setup for beginner give always.

Currently I've been offering free shaving lessons, having them bring in their current shaving gear and walking them through how to get the most comfortable shave possible. However there's only so much I can do when most of them are stuck with a dollar store bic and canned goo. Because of this I've been giving out samples sized tubs of proraso cream and thayers witch hazel.

I'd like to be able to provide some of them with a decent budget DE but it has been years since I've baught a razor and I've already given out my spares. Any recommendations for finding budget DE razors and shaving cream? I've already hit the local antique and second hand shops, and left them my info in case they get something in.

You sound like a very decent and caring guy.

Maybe this would work for you, I doubt it's the best but hey, it's cheap and might allow you to keeping helping the lads.

The page will redirect after a couple of seconds so just hit the back button when it happens.

There are other DE razors to choose from on the site too.
