You know Bath & Body Works, right? That place in the mall you go to when your mom’s in town, or alternatively the place you go to get your mom a gift basket when you’re stumped for holiday ideas? Welp, that place isn’t all fragrances and moms in yoga pants – it’s...

While we’re big fans of the safety razor over here, there’s just something mysterious and manly about the straight razor. The element of danger is really fascinating, and it doesn’t hurt that straight razors give just about as close a shave as you could hope for....

There’s a reason Gillette is still “the best a man can get” – they’re a solid company with more than a century of shavery under their belt. Even though they’ve moved on from the wet shaving and safety razor markets, those unique and iconic products still leave a big...

Sometimes, the old ways are the best – we already know that with wet shaving, don’t we? All the same, we don’t even have to restrict ourselves to newer safety razors to get the job done right – true collectors love to grab the kinds of razors that actually existed in...

In the big, wide world of online shaving resources and accessories, one company in particular has been cropping up lately that has gotten our attention (and those of others, as evidenced by all the Dollar Shave Club reviews we’re seeing online). In essence, they’re a...

It’s no surprise that people that are really into wet shaving (including myself) are really into the tradition of it – that sense of antiquity and history that comes from knowing we’re shaving like our granddad. There’s an appreciation for the old-fashioned and...

We’re always on the lookout for new stuff, especially shaving creams – after all, we usually end up being shaving soap guys, but finding a new good shave cream isn’t bad either, right? Well, one of the things I usually hate about shave creams is, oddly enough, all the...

While we wet shaving folks are normally partial to shaving soaps, every now and again we’ll get a shaving cream that we just can’t shut up about. A little while back, I had the chance to try Tabula Rasa shaving cream, which is a somewhat hard to find herbal shaving...

While we make our bones with our interest in wet shaving through traditional European safety razors, sometimes you like to walk on the wild side and go for straight razors. We were surprised to find, though, that not all straight razors are created equal – the...

One of the few downsides of making the switch to wet shaving is the big money sink that goes into the safety razor – if you really want to get a good one, you have to shell out some serious dough. Sure, you end up saving a lot of money in the long run with how cheap...

As lifelong wet shaving connoisseurs and masters of variety, we’re always on the lookout for new products that might wow us. Variety is the spice of life, after all! That being said, we’ve recently taken a shine to product lines that follow through with that old...

In many ways, this throwback to wet shaving is a look to the past, and to tradition. If that’s the case with you, what better way to do that than to get something as authentically old-school as possible? We recently came across Col. Conk Products, a website and...

We’re always looking for new kinds of safety razors to freak out about – we’ve been around the block a few times, so it takes a bit to impress us. One company we have overlooked of late is Muehle, which makes quite a few awesome shaving products of their own, from...

When it comes to double-edged safety razors, the Schick Krona is probably one of the most legendary. Introduced in 1959, the Krona “Chrome” edge blades were some of the first to have an injector with a built-in used blade vault. This was awesome for shavers, as it...

Now, in my quest to make sure I’ve always got the best products to put on my face, I came across a name for a shaving cream that made me tilt my head a bit – Nancy Boy. After staring at that title for a good thirty seconds and rubbing my eyes, I still stared at it...

There are basically two kinds of safety razors – fixed-gap and adjustable. The difference between the two is pretty self-explanatory, but I’ll go ahead and give it to you since we’re all friends here, and I’ve got the time. Basically, depending on your preference, you...

Looking over the vast array of safety razors available, we'd say the Weishi razor product line is a pretty solid option whether you are beginner or a veteran with shaving. The Weishi DE safety razor looks just different enough from the other safety razors on the...

Traditional wet shaving is definitely a bit of a commitment – you have to make sure that you get the best safety razor for the job, since the state of your equipment is what separates the clean-shaven men from the nicked-up boys. Weber safety razors are one of the...

When looking for that perfect shaving soap, you might want to err on the side of cheap. After all, one soap is just as good as another, right? It’s just there to make sure you don’t scrape your face off when you run your safety razor across it during wet shaving,...

When you think about traditional wet shaving, one of the most potent images you tend to conjure up is the Semogue brush – a boar-knot brush with a lovely wood or marble handle, with that convex tuft of boar hair sticking out the other end. The Portugal-based company...
