Like many men of my generation, Gillette multi-blade razors where the standard. I believe my first razor was the Gillette ATRA Plus (mid 80’s) which was followed by the Sensor in the early 90’s. And from there I stuck with Gillette throughout most of their iterations which generally meant adding another blade. It was aRead more

First off, T&H holds the record for the oldest established barbershop dating back to 1805. The company has also held a Royal Warrant to the royal household and still groomed H.R.M PrinceRead more
The “IF YOU MUST” shave soap is a bit of an unexpected gem. A few months back, I got it as part of a product exploration package from Sussex Beard.

When it comes to double edge safety razor, I am becoming very partial to the ones produced by Yaqi. For the last few weeks I have been shaving with the OX available at The Wet Shaving Co. (previously known as Yaqi Shaving). The rebranding is to better represent their now wider offering. Basically, even moreRead more

In this review we will focus on the Blue Stamford Safety Razor and the Red Devil Safety Razor. These are both 3 pieces safety razors accommodating standard double edge blades. A bit before Christmas I purchasedRead more
For the better part of the last years I have been favoring one or two shaving brushes almost without exception. I had initially started my wet shaving adventure with a traditional bore hair brush.
