I got lucky in finding a very lightly used Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor. If you recall, I reviewed the Qshave, which is a clone of the Merkur Futur. The clone sells for less than ten dollars depending on where you got to buy it. The Merkur Futur sells for $55.0 to 65.00 on Amazon […]

While going through Heinen’s (a local grocery store here in Northeast Ohio), I came across Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm. At approximately $6.50 for a bottle , I decided to give it a try. It’s terrific and quickly becoming one of my favorites!  I was afraid I’d never find an alternative for Neutrogena’s Razor Defense […]

I’ve had a chance to use the Qshave for a few shaves now and wanted to share some of my thoughts. It might be helpful to others contemplating whether or not to buy this razor. This review pertains to the Qshave I purchased from AliExpress costing $6.98 (including shipping). First off, you’d be crazy not […]

An unboxing video that took me by surprise! My thanks to YouTuber 000jimbojones000 for the free download starfield animation: https://youtu.be/qWDmlFsIMHM The shaving brush can be found on Amazon at: http://amzn.to/2oLVdmX. The brush comes with it’s own shaving stand. My guess on the price is a bit off. I believe this is due to being manufactured […]

Vintage razors are all the rage in wet shaving communities. A couple of reasons come into play as to why. First, it’s because they were made from  premium materials.  Brass and bronze were incorporated throughout.  And the chrome/nickel plating was done is such a way that they’ve held up for decades. Even though they are […]

In a previous video, you were shown the unboxing of this razor. Now for the review! The Edwin Jagger Ebony short-handled razor gives you a surprisingly nice shave.
