Wet Shaving on a Budget

We often tout one of the advantages of wet shaving is that it is easy on your wallet. And that is true, even though there is still a bit of an initial outlay of cash. Don’t be discouraged however! 

Just because you don't have a lot to spend, does not mean you can't get a great shave. Here are some of our favorite, most popular items that get you in the wet shaving game without breaking the bank. 

West Coast Shaving has many high quality products specifically priced to bring wet shaving to the masses - regardless of their paycheck. 

Safety Razors for under $35

• WCS Classic Collection, Midnight Collection. And Natural Collection Safety Razors: If you are looking for an affordable safety razor then look no further than our West Coast Shaving branded razors. For around $30 (and often less), you can choose a handle in stainless steel, black, or wood grain along with an open or closed comb head. This is a great way to get started. Or check out our Titanium or Vintage collections.

Razor Blades for under $10

• DE Blade Sampler Pack, Economy: We’re gonna shout out to our sample packs here. WCS launched out of a condo in CA with our founders who put together sample packs for new-to-wet-shaving customers to try out some of the most popular blades. Finding a blade can be a learning curve so a convenient, all-in-one pack allows you to try them side-by-side and pick the one that works for you.
