Dads & Grads DE Shave Kit Suggestion

[Seattle]

I'm going to give a couple new grads basic starter wet shaving kits. This Huntsman kit on eBay looks good. Seller seems to have a good rep. Board member I assume. Any other suggestions out there for a good starter kit? Thanks!

I started with this one.
Ben shaving with it for about 3 weeks now, and love it.

You will probably get many different opinions on this. Many will advise you to buy these things separately so you can choose the most appropriate item in each category--and to some extent I agree, or at least understand that philosophy. The RR razor may not be the mildest of the intro razors (from what I have read--no first hand experience) but I imagine it will be fine.

With that said, this looks like a pretty terrific starter kit at a pretty good price. If this is the one you choose, I'd say it's a very good choice.

That is a great starter kit! The razor and brush are fantastic! Good luck.

Solid looking kit with good quality and price. I haven't personally dealt with Shavetools but he seems to have a good reputation around here so I wouldn't have any reservations about buying from him. I would recommend contacting James (or Jim?) directly through his website and not ebay. If you let him know you're a B&B member and looking to purchase several starter kits at once he may have some other options for you. Most of the Vendors around here are great to deal with!

Also a fantastic offer. Makes me wonder a bit why I didn't jump on one of these when I first started.
