A typical morning in 2008. I've skipped a day of shaving to give my face a rest, but really don't want to skip two days in a row. Splashing a...
Sometimes life just gets in the way. How many weeks has it been since I posted here? A trip to Illinois to see my Mom, and try to take care of...
I've learned a lot of new things since I began to take wet shaving seriously, going on three years ago now. Lathering with soap and brush was...
I got one of my two remaining gotta-have-it razors just this month, and have been shaving with it the past few days. The razor is the Ever-Ready...
Drop in on us for the first time, and you'll find yourself in the middle of dozens of ongoing conversations. The old timers who have been here for...
