Thread: Van Der Hagen kit?

Thanks every one! I intend on getting the orange kit with the badger brush. Today is my first day on SRP so it is great to know I can come here for help!

I currently use the VDH kit. I love it. It is the green set. Other than my travel brush i currently have no other ones to put it up against. But it definitely gets the job done. I use many other soaps, but still use the vdh about twice a week. I too started with a shavette with long personna blades. I now use traditional straights and I'm never going back. 4 months in now. Use this forum and the members. Anyone will be glad t help you in anyway. Use the wiki (library) read all about straights . Understanding the tool itself helped me best.

Happy shaving!

This is the kit I started with. I upgraded from it eventually but it's a good way to learn the ropes.

I ust recently bought this kit. If you have a Target store near you, check that out as I got mine for $19.99. I like it a lot. The soap is nice.

the luxury kit comes in a brown and black box. It comes with a ceramic black mug instead of a green and blue bowl. The brush is eh, but it will get you started. The luxury soap is actually not bad; I put a bit of proraso on top with mine, oh and it comes with an acrylic brush and razor stand as well; so plus in my book. I picked it up for $24.99 at walmart. I bought the other kit about six months ago for a spare bowl and brush; but the brush just fell apart The brush in the luxury kit is better, but still not all that great; I picked up the luxury kit to keep at my girlfriend's with my merkur DE.
