    Bro, that is sweet!! The last time I was in at Andrews (in D.C.), a friend pointed me to "The Art of Shaving" and I've now started to use a brush. Next will be a straight razor.

    I agree completely. My wife gave me a starter set from this store as a valentines day gift. Its amazing what a "real" shave feels like! I still have not mastered a lot of the steps so i end up taking about 25-30 minutes shaving but I do enjoy the feeling of a great shave. I have been playing around with the idea of getting a straight razor but they are a little pricey. I know I will eventually take the plunge.

    Nice work on the razor there!

    Brushes you say? Here are a few of my vintage restores.

    Damn that's sick!!! Super awesome job. I've been straight edge shaving for a couple years now too! Nothing like it in the world. I got a buddy in Idaho who does a great job honing if anyone needs.....



    How do you "restore" a brush? If I ever find one in a antique shop...

    What's CA?

    I wear a beard and like it. I'd have to shave twice a day.
