[Mail Call] C.V. Heljestrand Latcher Catcher (sub.wetshaving.social)
Just had this Lather Catcher show up last night. I’m absolutely in love with it. Heljestrand’s have such nice steel and I haven’t met one yet I didn’t love. I have no idea why, but Lather Catchers just drive me crazy. I think they’re so neat....

As has been discussed already here in this community, the key takeaway from the bear hypothetical is that it is an opportunity to truly listen to the lived experiences of women under patriarchal systems. I encourage “first response” to the bear discussion to head back to this post, as I am looking for discussion kind of...

Patent time: The Simens Razor Sharpener Patent
A couple of days ago I shared a video I found on the restoration of a Simens razor sharpener. And guess what? I’ve now found the patent for it. Filed by Ferdinand Souczeck in 1933, the patent was applied for in – as far as I can tell – Czechoslovakia, Austria, and USA....
How do I pull a silicone-glued knot?
So, I got excited, and didn’t anticipate well how profound the knot would sit in the handle. The knot is glued in with silicone (maybe a little bit too much), and I would like to rescue both knot and handle without damage....

Patent time: Griffbefestigung an Rasierapparaten – handle attachment to shaving apparatus
It is easy to forget, as one is looking at old patents online, that not every inventor spoke English. I’ve looked at several interesting non-english patents in the past, and stumbled over an interesting looking one today too. It is for how to do attach a handle to your shaving apparatus. Or to put it in a different way; a...

What no one mentions about the bear hypothesis
This actually provides we here in the Post-Industrial US immense cause for celebration. All of our lives(Regardless of gender)are so cushy, we have the luxury of devoting days and weeks to mulling over an extremely far fetched hypothetical, the likes of which no one who isn’t living in rural Alaska will likely encounter

Christy blade comparison – aka “where can I get a Christy blade today?”
I little while ago I bought a Christy razor. It’s a fun and interesting razor, fairly unique compared to modern razor. And, as I mentioned, you can’t get blades any more, as the Christy blade (which existed in a couple of variations) went out of production sometime in the late 30’s....
