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.Originally Posted by Lopaka
Nice work on the razor there!

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...

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

Gotta admit i really like the look of the brushes and fine work into them.... however on a further note I also have to admit that I just cannot fathom trying to shave with a straight razor. Man! The thoughts of blood, artery, spurt, murder and decapatation come to mind. Guess I have watched the barbershop / lumberjack episode on Monty Python's Flying Circus too many times... Ahem, I just cant comprehend the possibility of trying to do that without seriously causing bodily harm to myself... GULP!!! LOL.
Just another day at the office!
I'm with you on this.

Nice work. Very nice.
Use a Market Basket brand 5 blade myself. A national brand rip-off but works well and I don't cut myself.
