I have a short beard and long mustache but miss safety razor shaving. Itll be mainly for my neck, but still want a nice set. Any recommendations on a safety razor set-up? Budget would be max $500-$1000. Thanks everyone!

    I’m tentatively seconding @walden@sub.wetshaving.social’s recommendation for the CF Legacy: I don’t own one, but I’ve only ever heard good things about it. Other options you might consider would be:

    • Tatara Masamune adjustable razor
    • Karve Overlander

    As to your brush, you have the budget for buying the biggest and greatest badger, but I don’t believe you have the shaving surface to really enjoy it - if you shave your entire face, that’s good advice, but only for the neck - not sure… If I were you, I’d get a rather smallish brush - you can’t go wrong with the Semogue C3 Galahad Premium Horse. No break in period, no funk, and a very manoeuvrable little brush allowing for high precision lathering.

      That’s a really good point. I know the budget is big but we’re having a baby and I wanted something that lasts through moves and chaos.

        If you take care, you should be able to hand down any stainless steel, brass or titanium razor to your grandchildren.
