Henson Shaving created a safety razor for the 21st century

Earlier this week we unboxed the beautiful Canadian made aluminum safety razor by Henson Shaving. What a nice piece! Since I am sporting a short beard I am not shaving on a daily basis.  It’s more of an every two day thing and at that it’s the cheeks and lower neck.  Basically I want toRead more

EUROMAX Double Edge Razor Blade

Being a one shave per blade guy, I am going through my inventory perhaps a bit faster than most.  The 1 blade/shave thing is as a result of my sensitive skin and coarse beard growth.  Used blades tend to irritate me faster.  Considering the general low cost of double edge safety razor blades ($0.15 /Read more

VOSKHOD Double Edge Blades

It has been a number of months since I last tried new blades.  Basically, I was so impressed with the Treet Carbon that I was pretty much just going to accept that these were now the “Standard” Style4men blades.  But that’s not the right spirit for a project that has set out to try-test-and-comment onRead more

Treet Carbon blades

Today’s shave was using the TREET carbon steel blades.  Having had excellent results using the orange “Platinum” TREET blades, trying more of their blades was a natural progression.

Here we are with another BlueBeards Revenge product, their Double-Edge razor blades.  The BlueBeards Revenge is a brand coming to us from the UK.  To date I have been impressed with their pomade and shaving cream.  Some months ago I realized that they were also making old-school double-edge razor blades and even though they wereRead more

This morning I tried a new brand of double edge (DE) blades in my Merkur 180 safety razor: Treet Super platinum.  I came across this brand of DE blades on amazon a few times and read a number of positive reviews.  The word on the street is that these babies are a notch above myRead more

Wilkinson DE blades

When shopping for Double Edge (DE) razor blades in stores, there is very little if anything to choose from.  To date, I have only seen the Wilkinson brand on shelves.  It was therefore just a question of time before I gave them a try.  During my last visit at the local pharmacy I picked upRead more
