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....

At Bella’s Hacienda Ranch, a brothel on the outskirts of the rural Nevada truckstop town of Wells, a half-priced special for adult male virgins this May has gone off with a bang....

The involuntary celibate community (aka ‘incels’) are often thought to be rightwing, white supremacist, and prone to violence. But how much of that is true?...

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...

Share your shave of the day!

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....

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....

I cleaned, polished, and honed these three vintage razors a while ago, but didn’t get to posting a mail call. The main act here is definitely the big Henckels 14:...

Pretty cool guide....

A combined shipment from Stirling and Barrister and Mann arrived today. From Stirling, I finally got my replacement Varen tub (and added the frag) and got a tub of Mountain man to replace my soon-to-be-killed sample of it....

I’m kind of amazed that this is getting downvotes after 20 minutes, even though the video is 33 minutes. I guess you already saw this?

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...

Like @DaveWave94 the other day, I also have taken advantage of Yourshaving’s anniversary sale and got myself three new brushies to break in:...

I just had this NOS Wüsthof razor land last night. 7/8 Extra Hollow Square Point....

Spanish vendor YourShaving had their 11th anniversary sale recently and today my order finally arrived in Germany....

Share your shave of the day!

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

A razor can take up space in a gentleman’s vest-pocket… a problem several inventors searched for a solution to, including Mr Albert S Aloe. He came up with a folding razor all the way back in 1886....

Just had this 7 day set land today. Very minor rust on the tangs, otherwise in great shape. They all have yet to ever be honed....
