This 6-piece premium shaving set from Haryali London is designed for traditional wet-shaving enthusiasts seeking a professional-grade grooming experience. The kit provides a balanced straight razor, a high-quality silver tip badger hair brush, and comprehensive maintenance tools to ensure a clean, comfortable shave; however, it requires a significant learning curve and regular manual edge maintenance for those transitioning from modern cartridge razors.

While the razor is crafted for performance, it is recommended to strop the blade before your first use to ensure it is perfectly aligned.
Apply a small amount to the leather strop only when you notice the edge is not gliding as smoothly as usual; a little goes a long way.
Rinse with lukewarm water, gently shake out excess moisture, and store bristles-down in a ventilated area to dry.
This kit features a traditional straight razor, which requires sharpening and stropping rather than blade replacement.
Silver tip badger hair is considered the premium grade; it is exceptionally soft on the skin while holding a large amount of water for a better lather.
The blade likely needs stropping to realign the edge; use the leather strop and paste to refine the cutting surface.
Ensure you are not using extremely hot water and avoid harsh scrubbing motions; let the brush air-dry naturally between uses.
Ensure the blade is wiped completely dry after every use; consider a light coating of mineral oil if storing for an extended period.
Before your first shave, ensure the razor is properly honed using the strop and paste. To care for the badger hair brush, rinse thoroughly with warm water after every use and hang it bristles-down to dry, which preserves the integrity of the hair. The leather strop should be kept clean and dry, away from direct heat sources. Regularly applying the honing paste to the strop will maintain its effectiveness. For the wooden storage box, wipe down with a dry cloth periodically to keep the finish in good condition. Never store wet components in the box; ensure everything is completely air-dried before closing the lid to prevent wood damage.
