Miusco Shaving Razor & Brush Stand with Soap Bowl Set, Compatible with Manual Razor, Gillette Razor and Most Other Razors

This shave stand kit is actually a truly amazing value. Solid construction, classic design, optimal function and form.The stand is solid, doesn't wobble or rock and the shave brush and razor fit perfectly.The brush is, indeed, genuine badger hair, soft enough to produce exceptional lather and stiff enough to apply to face or scalp. (I'm fully bearded and use this kit to shave my substantial dome).The shave bowl dimensions are perfect for any puck style shave soap and it is heavy enough that you don't have to have it in a death grip to work up a lather. It fits into the stand with the same precision as the rest of the shave kit does, excellently.The razor, although high quality, is a standard three-piece and not my preference, luckily I have a short handled butterfly style razor that fits just as well as the one supplied (I intended on using my butterfly razor, anyway).There are some blades included, but I've had very bad luck with generic blades and so, haven't tried them, so I cannot comment on their quality.My son is 13 and just starting to need a shave and I'm buying him one of these great stand/brush/bowl kits for Christmas, because I cannot imagine a better product to serve this purpose exists. Besides, he should learn to shave with the best method available (neck in neck with straight razor shaving- but that's for when he's a little older and has a longer attention span!). He's got similar tastes and as discerning an eye as myself, so I suspect it's going to be a big hit!If you've grown tired of overpriced cartridge razors that tear your skin apart, I cannot recommend this shave kit highly enough to you!

The Viking Blades’ Emperor razor has a thick handle that doesn’t fit in other stands. My Parker shaving brush, incredibly, also doesn’t fit in other stands because it is too thick. When buying the razor handle and brush I didn’t realize they were, y’know, husky. I don’t have others to compare with.Both fit well in this stand. I have a different bowl I use for lathering the soap. This one is on the small side, imho. Works nicely as a drip tray while the brush is drying.

Purchased this to hold my safety razor and shaving soap. First off, the cup that holds the soap is pretty small and shallow. The soap tablet I use is too big to fit in the cup, so I'm forced to cut the soap in half to fit inside. Could be the soap that I'm buying is oversized, but by cutting in half it fits.The holder that secures my brush fits very well, but the part that holds the shaver doesn't secure it well (Van Der Hagen). It may be this unit is designed for a specific razor, as mine falls out of the holder really easy if jostled or bumped. Overall construction seems robust though, and looks like it will hold up. I retrofitted the shaver holder with a rubber O-Ring that I super glued on to the stand. Now it holds the razor securely. It looks good in my bathroom, however, if I find something with a larger cup and a better razor holder I'd probably purchase that instead.

This fits my KIKC Beard Brush and Parker 74R butterfly twist razor perfectly. The bowl is small. Since I saw the same observation in other reviews I was not surprised. I see it more as a drip bowl and/or to fill with hot water and let the bush soak before dabbing it onto my soap puck. The weighted base is FANTASTIC. The thing stays put. That was the big draw for me. Happy buyer.

Lather bowl is too small

For the price this is an excellent deal. The razor assembly and generic blades themselves are of great quality, easy to use and comparable to more expensive counterparts. The stand is nice and fits everything nicely.The only thing wrong with the set is the brush. It is of inferior quality. Most people won't care, especially if you're new to wet shaving but I couldn't do it any longer.Attached is a picture of my new German-made Nom brush (Theo, Ash Wood handle, Badger Hair) vs. the one included with the Miusco kit. After using the Miusco brush, you can tell a few things right away.1) The bristles are rough. They're not that soft. I don't know if that's indicative of real or fake badger fur, but it's not even close to the softness of my Nom Theo.2) The bristles cut length and arrangement. You can see it's not as "tight" of a cone. I'm not sure if that's a quality metric or not, but to me it indicates the density of hairs is not as high. So you get less "lift" as you lather your face. Not sure if this matters to you or not, but I believe this makes the Nom superior construction.3) The handle is cheap plastic. Luckily my Ash wood Nom fits fine in the included holder.In the end, a great deal even though I'm only keeping the razor and stand. I would have loved if they improved the brush quality and increased the price point. Having a finished product that wouldn't require additional investment would have been ideal.

All in, a good buy for the price. It is well constructed and has a nice look, but hooks for brush and razor are bit wide. Bowl could be a bit deeper.

Overall it very classy, although the bowl is to small. Most if not all standard size shaving soups are to large in diameter to fit. In order to get a round soup to fit I had to trim it down with a knife. Secondly the bowl is to shallow, this makes it difficult to create a good lather with a shaving brush.

I was looking for a sturdy stand to hold my Merkur 34C razor and shaving brush. This little set fits the bill. The razor fits nicely on one side, and the shaving brush slides in on the other.You probably don't want a knot size more than 24mm, as even that can catch some hairs on the brush as it is slid into the holder. For reference, my shaving brush is on the larger side with a 50mm loft, 50mm handle, 35mm handle width and 24mm knot. The lathering bowl is smallish (about the same diameter as a coffee cup) but big enough to build up a lather, albeit with some inevitable sloshing over the side.Overall I'm satisfied. The construction of the set and bowl doesn't feel flimsy or cheap, neither have exhibited any rust and looks good.

After living with this stand for a couple of weeks I am a bit disappointed with it.First the pros:It looks good, better IMO than some of the ‘wire frame’ alternatives. It has a nice smooth chrome finish and the base has some weight to it, so it’s not going to tip over if knocked.But…On mine the vertical support rod isn’t quite vertical and the horizontal holder isn’t quite horizontal, which makes it look a bit thrown together with little attention to detail or QC – i.e. like a typical Chinese product. The brush holder is too small for a 26mm knot, so we’re talking 24mm max and since it’s made of cast metal it can’t be ‘adjusted’ without fear of snapping.The razor holder is too small as well. It appears to be designed for a particular type/make of razor and the arms are not long enough to support most DE heads properly – the razor is just precariously balanced on the tip of the holder and is prone to slipping off. I ended up having to 3D print an extension piece which helps a lot but does rather spoil the look.Finally, the bowl is too small also (detect a theme here?). I have given up trying to make lather in mine as it just spills out around the rim and drips everywhere.In summary, for me it’s definitely a case of form over function; it looks good but just isn’t very practical for day-to-day use.

I bought this set for a relative, it is a very high quality product for the money paid and a good starter to open shaving for anyone ! The actual razor is easy for a beginner to handle, and its good weighted and the comb leaves space for you to angle where you wont cut yourself easily. It has a badger brush, mixing bowl and stand (looks great in the bathroom) I would say you will need to buy some shaving cream, it comes with 5 blades so I would suggest buying blades also and then you are litreally all set to go and you can add all the pre and post shave balms and any other products you desire etc as time goes on... The badger brush arrived with a chip in it (manufacturing issue and not the sellers fault as the packaging was all good) I contacted the seller who apologised and sent out a replacement (with a few extras) next day delivery. Could not be happier with the service and product, will be buying from them again and recommend them to friends and family.

So before I go into details, let me discuss my facial geography. I have a dimple in my chin, a little cleft as well in the chin and a mole on my neck and cheek. So yes, I had visions of this razor leading to massive blood letting in the bathroom but I was very wrong.The kit looks stylish in the bathroom and shaving has moved from being a chore to that of an enjoyable activity. The brush lathers quickly and easily, the soap is easy to lather and has a neutral smell. The razor itself has a nice weight and glides through my tough beard hairs easily. In fact I have closer shaves now than I have ever had with the normal razor systems and in over 9 months of use, I think I have nicked myself two or three times. Counter that with my usual multi-blade system where I had far more nicks.I ordered a separate 100-blade pack and my blades now cost around 6p each!! and will last up to 5 shaves.From a comfort, closeness of shave and economy standpoint, you can't beat this plus shaving becomes enjoyable.

Had this a few weeks and sat it on theside of our sink, i moved it one day and noticed a stain under the base on our sink. It's taken a few goes with bleach and a scrubbing brush to get rid of the worst of it.Changing the blade is a bit of a chore as you need to hold the top of the unit where the blade sits to unscrew it so in my opinion lots of potential for sliced fingers.The actual brush seems ok so far and does what its supposed to do.Overall it looks nice but I can't recommended it.
