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!

    Hi fellow moustache aficionado!

    With such a high budget, you should be able to get yourself something that would last a lifetime. If you only want one, I’d recommend a versatile safety razor, like an adjustable razor - either with a dial or with changeable plates. Rockwell, Tatara and Karve could be worth a look. As for a brush, I second the recommendation for a smaller brush: I own a few huge ones, but they’re mostly reserved for head shaving. IMHO, a nice and nimble brush with a 22 to 24 mm knot diameter would be plenty for shaving around your beard. You could even get a custom made brush at your budget, but something from Andrew (=AP Shave Co.) would be a really solid option too. Badger or synthetic depends on your preference. Nowadays, some synthetic fibers have really advanced very well in terms of quality! As for soap and aftershave… If you live in the USA, you’re in the golden spot for great artisan shaving soap. Barrister and Mann, Noble Otter, Wholly Kaw, Zingari Man, Southern Witchcrafts and many more… The choice is yours and only depends on your personal preferences in different scents.
