Merkur Chrome Safety Razor
Gentlemen: listen up. This is the real deal. No frills, one blade, chrome-built, and simple as a pencil. This is shaving at its finest. The good folks at The Motley hooked me up with this Merkur DE safety razor and there’s no looking back for me. While this might not be the fanciest double-edge razor, it...
Portland General Store Aftershave Splash
For many years I was one of those guys who never used aftershave. I’d always ask myself, “What’s the point?” Thinking it was nothing more than just another product for Gillette to sell, I never really went about buying any. However, I started slow with some cheapo brands. Over time, I noticed how it acts...
Dreadnought Shaving Cream
I’ve had some pretty good fortune over the past couple weeks to try some really great shaving products. I’m pleased to bring Dreadnought to the list. Not only did they send over a jar of their shaving cream, but also their pretty cool “avenger” shaving brush to boot (thanks, guys). FYI: they also have a...
Brooklyn Grooming: Shave and Serum
Usually, I like to keep articles to one grooming product at a time. However, this 1-2 punch from Brooklyn Grooming‘s shave oil and facial serum is so connected that it really made sense to talk about them both as a single unit. First of all, it’s worth mentioning that Brooklyn Grooming is Brooklyn’s first men’s...
Rocky Mountain Shave Co. IPA Shave Soap
I’ve only used a few shave soaps in my time (I usually use oils), but I was intrigued by the Homebrew IPA soap. Rocky Mountain Shaving Co. sent me a sample of their shave soap to try out, and I knew it would be great right from the start. As you may remember from my interview...
Rocky Mountain Shave Co. Aftershaves
Recently, I received some vials in the mail from Jake, the founder of Rocky Mountain Shave Co., and I couldn’t wait to try them out. RMSC is based in the U.S.A. and their website is totally powered on wind–way cool. I was lucky enough to receive all three scents, and while each one is drastically different,...

As usual, all the ingredients in this urth product are natural and safe, including: soy, safflower oil, lavender oil, menthol, tea tree oil, spearmint oil, bergamot oil, chamomile extract,...
The Shave: American Crew Shave Oil
I’ve tried many different forms of shaving products–shaving cream from an aerosol can, gels, soaps, creams, and even just straight water. Until now, I’ve never used an oil. However, I should have used this product years ago. American Crew’s lubricating shave oil is one of the best things ever. Yes, I also love Ursa Major’s products,...
