Merkur really dominate when it comes to traditional shaving gear. Their products, especially their razors, are always of super high quality while remaining extremely affordable.

You can’t go wrong with this safety razor: it provides a great shave, will last many years, and the chrome-plated look covers most tastes.

Best straight razor

Dovo Classic Straight Razor​

While not the most affordable option on the market the Dovo Classic Straight Razor is one of the best.

Retailing at just over $100 it is a wonderful gift for those who either want to try their hand at the most traditional style of shaving, or for those with experience.

The ebony handle gives the razor a sleek look, and the blade provides an excellent shave.

No need for disposable blades with this razor, and with care it can last a lifetime of shaves.

Best shaving brush

Edwin Jagger Large Silver Tip Badger Hair Shaving Brush

We often just focus on the actual razor when looking for shaving gifts, but every traditional shaver knows how important the shaving brush is.

And who isn’t going to appreciate a high quality silvertip badger brush?

Priced around $120 the Edwin Jagger silvertip badger shaving brush comes with a beautiful ivory handle, provides a luxurious lather and while super soft to the touch it exfoliates the skin and lifts the hairs like no other.

With proper care this brush will last for years and will make a lot of men very happy.​

For the electric shaver

More interested in upgrading a significant other’s electric shaver or replacing dad’s old one with a newer, better model? Here are a couple of excellent gift ideas, from higher end to very affordable.​

Best high-end electric razor​

Braun Series 7 - 790 Pulsonic Electric Shaver

While on the pricier side, the Braun Series 7-790 Pulsonic Electric Shaver is one of the most popular and advanced shavers on the market right now.

With its high-end signature features such as the ActiLift and OptiFoil technologies, the shaver has the ability to lift even the finest and flattest of hairs to provide a super close shave without irritation.

It also has great contour adaptability, allowing the shaver to get to harder to cover all areas of the face and neck properly.

And in addition to all of the above, it comes with its own self-cleaning station, making life extra easy.

For just under $200 this shaver is definitely worth the money.

Most affordable and efficient electric razor

Philips Norelco PT724/41 Shaver 3100​

Not interested in spending that much money? No worries, as the Philips Norelco PT724/41 Shaver 3100 is a great buy at $40, providing a high quality shave at a low price.

If you are looking for a good rotary shaver for either the young or more experienced man, this one is a good option.

With the brands signature Close Comfort heads and Flex & Float System the shaver contours the angles of the face very well and provides a close shave every time.

It’s an especially great choice for those with coarser beard hair too as rotary shavers tend to provide a better cut than foil shavers do on thick hairs.

These shavers can only be used for dry shaves, but both brands also provide wet and dry shavers of good quality.

For the non-committed shaver

​Are you looking for a gift for someone who isn’t committed to any type of shaving? How about introducing the art of the classic shave with a good quality razor or shaving set that doesn’t break the bank? Here are a couple of great choices.

Best shaving set for beginner

Boss Razors Safety Razor Shaving Gift Set​

Retailing at $40, this chrome-plated set comes with a sturdy safety razor, metal stand and badger brush, and provides a quality shave.

While not as luxurious as the Merkur set detailed above, it still has a great look and feel to it, and is the perfect gift for the man who would like to try something different but isn’t ready to commit himself to it just yet (although, once you get the hang of a safety razor it’s hard to go back to a cartridge razor!).

The product also comes in a nice gift box, and really looks like it costs a lot more than it actually does.

Best safety razor for beginners

Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Double Edged Razor

The Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Double Edge Razor is a great starter razor.

It’s sturdy, easy to use and manipulate and is also very easy on the high.

The weight of the razor does most of the work, leaving you with a smooth shave, soft skin and no irritations.

It’s a good gift choice for someone is wants to try a safety razor but who isn’t too sure where to start.

Merkur razors are extremely affordable, and at less than $40 this one is no exception. It’s pretty much guaranteed that you will make someone very happy with this razor!
