Whipped Dog

Whipped Dog Shave ready straight razors and equipment sales. Help for newbies! Assistance for razor honers also. Well, to be honest, I don’t remember the exact figure.

In 2009, I read an article in Wired magazine that discussed how much money could be saved if a straight razor was used instead of replaceable blade cartridges. If someone started shaving with a straight razor when they were young, they could save $20,000 over a lifetime. But, I was amazed at the amount of money that could be saved!. So, I purchased my brother-in-law's straight razor, honed the raz

or, and tried to shave. Big time failure! But, I learned a lot through trial and error. And, the information provided on shaving forums was invaluable. Soon, I was shaving successfully. The two biggest problems for newbie straight razor shavers are the expense to purchase a straight razor, and then keeping the razor sharp. To assist others, I bought vintage straight razors and honed them to shave readiness, and resold them at close to cost. To hold costs down, I didn’t buff and polish blades to mirror finish as was commonly done. Basically, I sold straight razors at cost plus the price of honing. In addition, I developed a strop cut from English Bridle leather that had a simple, inexpensive design. Offering affordable straight razors and strops proved very popular. Whipped Dog straight razors has continued to expand, and now we sell new Dovo straight razors and have a full line of shave soaps and brushes. Some of our best selling products are the Sight Unseen straight razor and Poor Man strop kit paired up with either a Silvertip Badger Brush or Synthetic Brush. We sell several lines of shave soap. Some are well known brands like Mitchell’s Wool Fat and others are homemade soaps by guys in the community like Bald Frog and BDS Soap. We also sell double edge razors with butterfly opening for easy insertion and removal of blades. The razors are brass, coated with chrome. I believe they are the best double edge razor available for under $20. The philosophy of Whipped Dog is “All corners are cut to reduce price, but not the corners that will degrade your shave experience.” Straight razor blades might not look elegant. But, the shaving edge is of the highest quality. And we will always work with our customers to ensure satisfaction.
