If you’re like most men, when you go shopping for razor blades you probably feel like the major razor manufacturer’s have you at gun point while they pillage your wallet taking all your hard earned cash from you. I know I’ve asked the question “why are razors so expensive” to myself on more than one [...]
If you had asked me what the best single-blade razor was, up until a couple of days ago I would have answered that the Dovo shavette was hands down the best single blade razor. The Dovo shavette has the advantages of a straight razor, but doesn’t require the upkeep an maintenance of a straight razor [...]
If you are looking for Merkur Model 180 blades, then you’re in luck. These blades are pretty easy to find. The Merkur 180 takes the standard safety razor/DE blades. Most likely you can take a stroll down to your local drug store or Wal-Mart and find them for sale. The only brand I’ve found at [...]

A few days ago on my youtube channel I had someone ask me for some beginner tips for shaving their head with a straight edge. After thinking about it for awhile I made a short video about it which I’ve embedded above. In case you’re the reading type or it takes too long to play, [...]
When you first get into straight razors it can be hard to find places that sell them. Straight razors are a unique, specialty item and it’s something that you won’t find in your major, brand name stores. Unless you live a high-population city the chances of finding a brick and mortar store front that sells [...]
This past Sunday I was going through Target’s weekly ad. The coupon was that when you buy either a Venus Embrace razor or a Gillette fusion razor you will get a Target $5 gift card free. Now I am quite aware that this might be more expensive than just buying the regular cartridge razors, but [...]
