A new reader sent me a link today with the top 10 reasons you should try a straight razor—10 Reasons to Shave With a Straight Razor—I love shaving humour. Seriously most of the tips are applicable to DE safety razors as well.
I’m still not up for trying and the biggest reason is that I’m a […]

I’ve been testing a couple tools for “manscaping” of late. One you’ve probably heard of and one probably not. The Phillips Body Groom is pretty well known, the standard trimmer razor idea, the No! No! is new to North America and to men especially. It does its thing with heat and that makes it pretty […]

I was given a couple Gillette Fusion Power Phenom razors recently to take on a test drive. You know that I’ve been a Gillette man since college and my first Atra razor. It’s only been recently that I’ve moved to the old school (and better) safety razor.
So, are five blades better than one? Does a […]

Ever want one of those cool handlebar mustaches from days gone by? Me, not so much. Don’t think it would try it, after reading this post of one guy’s four month journey to grow one—Traditio in Radice: Tradify Your Manly Face—I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t.
I don’t have that kind of patience.
Heck, I sometimes trim my […]

I did it and lived. I had my first shave with the Merkur Progress safety razor. Really, it wasn’t bad. Only minor bleeding. One thing for sure is that I’m really glad I watched The Shaving Tutor’s video on how to shave with this bugger. Before I get into my experience (with pictures), here is […]

I finally did it. I went out and bought my first double-blade safety razor, a Merkur Progress adjustable. Hefty little bugger. Took me a bit to figure out the whole putting the blade in thing. Not to mention I didn’t know that the blade bends!
I got it at Simply the Best on Broad St. in […]

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about shaving since I started this blog. Not only have I been trying lots of products (and believe it or not my skin is not the worse for wear, I think it might even be better looking now), but I’ve been paying attention to the whole process of […]

Living on the West Coast of Canada, I can’t swing a stick without hitting some add or product that is “organic” (allow me my pet peeve. In chemistry, something that has carbon is “organic”, so I’d like to see an apple without carbon, enough said). You can buy and “organic” version of just about everything […]

Last week I briefly mentioned Espa’s shaving mud and skin tonic spray in my shaving post and the whole “shaving mud” thing caught people’s attention. Funny a skin tonic face spritz/spray didn’t get as many comments.
Regardless let’s start with the shave mud. The Espa site describes it as:
A unique concept combining an effective shaving […]

A little teaser here because I’m still working on details like the prizes, but I thought I’d get you all thinking.
I thought to mark the first month of Manscaping 101 and Father’s Day we’d have a little contest here and here’s what it’s going to be: your best shaving face.
You know when you shave you […]
