One For the Guys - The Joy of Shaving Like Your Grandpa

Four years ago I was on my way to the drugstore to purchase yet another pack of super-duper 5 blade razor cartridges while listening to The Art of Manliness podcast, lo and behold the subject was double edge razor shaving. I immediately did my research and purchased the items listed below, all of which I use exclusively and can highly recommend. 

 The benefits: 

After your initial investment, the cost is next to nothing.

One box of 100 blades will last well over a year. 

Shaving soap 3-6 months. I rotate through 3 different soaps just to change things up a little.

The razor, a lifetime. 

You get a closer shave with little to no razor burn. 

The process, oh the process, it’s both relaxing and cathartic. 


Here’s a great tutorial.
