How to Load a Double Edge Safety Razor
This article is meant for beginners who recently upgraded to the world of double edge razors (for good reason) but don’t know how to load a double edge safety razor. I’ll be honest about it: when I first made the switch I didn’t know, either. Womp womp womp. Luckily, it doesn’t take a genius to...
Dreadnought Double Edge Blades
When Dreadnought sent over their cut throat razor, they also sent a pack of their double edge razor blades. The Dreadnought double edge blades come in this really awesome plastic razor housing, and you can slide them out one at a time. I definitely love this, and I’m going to keep it for when I travel....
Dreadnought Avenger Shaving Brush
Shaving brushes are an essential tool for any wet shaver. However, if you’ve ever looked around at the price of some of the options, you might be discouraged to start wet shaving because you don’t want to drop around $25, just under $50, or even $60 on a shaving brush. Yikes. However, there are some more affordable options out...
Dreadnought Cut Throat Razor
By now, if you’re a regular reader, you will remember hearing the name “Dreadnought” multiple times in the past. As one of my honorable mentions for 2012, UK-based Dreadnought is one of my favorite shaving companies out there. Not too long ago they sent me a Dreadnought cut throat razor (or a “shavette”–but cut throat...
Kyoku Sake Infused Shave Cream
The Kyoku Sake Infused Shave Cream is a glycerin-based shave cream that is made specifically for sensitive skin. Notice the word “specifically,” which is different than “exclusively.” I don’t think of myself as having sensitive skin, and it worked out pretty well for me in the end. Let’s take a closer look. The packaging continues on...
Giveaway: Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream
The giveaways just keep coming, folks. This time we’re giving away some Billy Jealousy Hydroplane shave cream. I reviewed this shave cream not too long ago, and you should read the review to learn more about it. Anyhow, this silicone-based foam-less shave cream creates a barrier on your skin and gives your razor a super...
Bold for Men Dry Shave Gel
I’ll admit it: when Bold for Men contacted me about their product, Bold for Men Dry Shave Gel, I was inherently skeptical. When I hear the term “dry shave,” it doesn’t exactly get me too excited. So why, I asked myself, would a company brand itself as a “dry shave” gel? That’s sort of like...
Crown Shaving Co. Supreme Glide
This is a tough one. The Crown Shaving Co. Supreme Glide pre-shave formula is one of the few pre-shave treatments I’ve used. That’s true partially because I am rarely sent these, and partially because I’ve never fully understood the point of pre-shave formulas in general. You may remember the name Crown Shaving Co. from their...
Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream
Every once in a while I’ll get some samples in of something that is really unique, and it’s always refreshing. Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream is exactly that. What is most unique about this is that it is silicone-based. I had no idea what that would entail, honestly, because this is the only silicone-based shave...
Crown Shaving Co. Shave Cream
Toronto-based Crown Shaving Co. contacted me last month and asked if they could send me over some of their shave cream. Despite the fact that I have more shaving products than I can handle right now, I said “sure, send some over.” Admittedly, I knew literally nothing about them, and I like to review products where the...
Cost Analysis: Double Edge vs. Cartridge Razors
I had a request for a cost analysis of double edge vs. cartridge razors, and frankly it’s one that I’ve wanted to write for a while now. A nice shave is important, not only because it makes you feel good, but because it turns what was once a boring chore into an enjoyable method of...

You’ve already read about how awesome the Dreadnought Post Shave Balm is (as well as their shaving cream), now you have a chance to try it yourself. I have one jar of this stuff ready for you to finish off your shave in the best way possible. This is really one of the best post-shave...
