Gold Dollar Razor for the Contest 

 

I’m going to enter the annual Badger and Blade Gold Dollar Mod Contest for 2025. 

 

You may have heard in previous episodes that I created a custom Gold Dollar back in 2014.  I never entered but I did enjoy making one.  

 

I just purchased a Gold Dollar 66 and will begin to modify it when the contest starts in May.  Watch my progress on my blog. www.shavestraightandsafe.com

Razor Emporium Acquires Yates Shaving 

 

Announced at the Annual Meet Up at RE will acquire Yates Razors and produce them onsite.  A very exciting announcement to say the least. RE started as a small razor repair service and is now covering all aspects of wet shaving.  Good luck Matt and Team!

Williams Soap for $50?  Is it worth it??

 

The now discontinued Williams Shave Mug Soap is fetching a pretty penny.  Is it worth $50?  If wet shaving is now more popular that it has been then why are we seeing vendors close?  I’ll tell you my thoughts.

Updates on Tariffs from Canada 

 

As of this writing it looks like items under $800 will not be affected by the tariffs. 

 

That means most wet shaving products will not be affected.
