Wet Shaving Talk For 8 April 2024 04/10/2024

Wet Shaving Talk For 8 April 2024 You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is April 8th 2024. ______________________________________________________________________________ Today on the Show: Happy Eclipse Day!! Bottom Dial Gillette Selling for over $2200! New Bench Strops from Amazon Paladin Brushes Slowing Down the Pace Cleaning Your Shaving Brushes… Do You Need to Do it? One Month With Tabac Challenge! (For Me) ______________________________________________________________________________ Cased Gillette Bottom Dial Selling for $2275! Although not the highest we’ve seen for a cased Bottom Dial (the record was $5362 back in 2021), this one certainly was an interesting auction. I’m not sure if this cased example is a new “barn find” or just a known model switching hands but we’ve seen several cased models sell in the past 3 or 4 years. What was once only thought to be a wet shaving myth has now become a reality. I’ll tell you my thoughts on why we are seeing more of these pop up. For more information of the bottom dial check out this article: ______________________________________________________________________________New Bench Strops Recently I purchased two cheap bench strops and some pastes on Amazon for maintaining my straight razors. Although for years, I was not into using pastes, recently I added them on one of my hanging strops and began to enjoy using them. Both are loaded with pastes, one being .50 micron diamond spray and the other .10 micron diamond paste. I’ll tell you my thoughts. ______________________________________________________________________________Paladin Brushes Slowing Down Production Paladin brushes have announced they will be slowing production and limiting availability in the near future. If you’ve been around the wet shaving world for a few years, you’ll know Paladin was very popular back in 2014-2018, with brushes selling out in seconds and going for 5X their retail on secondary sites. _____________________________________________________________________________Cleaning Your Shave Brushes. Do you need to do it? Lots of guys do it and alot do not. Should you? I’ll tell you my thoughts ______________________________________________________________________________ Our show is powered by , “What Your Father Didn’t Teach You about Shaving” Special Thanks to: Mark aka Mantic 59 Most of All……….YOU!!!!

Wet Shaving Talk For 27 November 2023 11/29/2023

Wet Shaving Talk For 27 November 2023 You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is November 27th 2023. ______________________________________________________________________________ Today on the Show: Awesome Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales!!! I got a Straight Razor and strop for $70!!! Tons of Christmas Themed Soaps! New Book is out and Available! ______________________________________________________________________________ Best Black Friday/Cyber Monday!!! I have to admit…. This was probably the best sales I’ve seen in wet shaving…..ever! From a massive secret stash offering from The Holy Black, to huge sales offered at AOS, WCS and Maggards, the deals seemed to be endless!!!! Even Pasteur’s had a sale! ______________________________________________________________________________ I got a Straight Razor and Strop for $70 from AOS I couldn’t resist!! AOS had a sale for $50 for a straight razor and $50 for a strop. I had a 30% off coupon and received both for $70! Use Apple pay for free shipping! ______________________________________________________________________________ Ton’s of Holiday Themed Soaps I was pleasantly surprised to see how many holiday themed soaps are available. The most I’ve seen! 2023 has become the year to beat with releases! _____________________________________________________________________________ The New Book is Here! Yes, I wrote a book. “The Modern Guide To Straight Razor Shaving” was released on Nov 10th. This was an idea of mine 4 years ago. After writing countless articles, I wanted to compile all the material into a physical book so wet shavers could have a “one stop shop” for all things regarding straight razors. I began working on the project back in 2019, and had to put it on the back burner as “Life Happens” but was determined to finish it here in 2023 (This has been on my News Resolutions list for the past 4 years). I had no idea what writing a book entailed, other than reading them and watching countless videos and reading literally every book I could find regarding wet shaving in order to understand what truly works. After about a dozen or so drafts (yes really) and proofreading editing etc I was able to get what I feel is a good representation of how to use a straight razor in the 21st century. I made a point of referencing my material from past publications, re-editing a lot of it, and adding some new stuff in the process. I did not use any AI (artificial intelligence) “helpers” , just good old fashioned writing and research. This book is a true representation of how to be a straight razor user today and is my interpretation of it. I hope you enjoy it! The new book is here! Available on Amazon. If your interested in carrying it at your shop please email me at ______________________________________________________________________________ Our show is powered by , “What Your Father Didn’t Teach You about Shaving” Special Thanks to: Mark aka Mantic 59 Most of All……….YOU!!!!

Don’t -Commenting on older posts where the OP has already received the needed advice, sometimes 10-15 years prior. -Giving advice when you yourself just started wet shaving (The 6 month wet shaver) especially with straight razors and honing. -Constantly having to justify that you know what you’re talking about. Or saying you completely vouch for someone. Do -Ask questions and advice, -Comment whether you agree or disagree and have a compelling reason to back it up. -Share your personal experiences, what you’ve seen or heard and places you’ve been.

Wet Shaving Talk For 10 April 2023 You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is April 10th, 2023 Today on the Show Happy Easter/Passover End of an Era for a Brushmaker April is Dedication to Single Edge Razors Month Types of Single Edge Razors End of an Era Brush maker Brad Sears has announced his retirement. He’s been making brushes for the past 11 years under his own and the Morris and Forndran lines. We’ve been seeing several long term artisans retiring, which brings in a few interesting points. I’ll tell you my thoughts. Types of SE Razors -GEM Style: -Artist Club: These are modern razors that take the Feather Artist Club blade. The blade is longer and very sharp/lasting. Notable models : Mongoose, Cobra. -Injector Razors: Although many will identify this style with one particular make, injector razors have been an alternative to DE razors for over 60 years. The Schik injector being the most popular and one of the razors to survive the Gillette Wars. The blades are injected in the razor and out through a special mechanism in the blade bank. Today, Schick injectors are still plentiful and the Supply wet shaving company makes their own version which was featured on the show Shark Tank. -Vintage Star Shaving aka Shovel Head: These razors received their nickname by their design (looking like a shovel) and were the inspiration behind Gillette’s invention of the disposable blade. Deemed a safety razor, these beautiful pieces of art came in a case with a strop and required maintenance much like that of a straight razor. -Rolls Razor: in a class almost by itself, the Rolls Razor is still popular amongst wet shavers alike. It features an all in one sharpening/ honing case and comes with a non-disposable blade that’s designed to stay sharp for years. -AutoStrop: One of my favorites, the Autostrop razor has the ability to be stropped with a set of gears that allow the blade to flip on each side. They are readily available and fun to collect! -One Blade: The Oneblade is in a class by itself. It’s a modern razor that is unique to it’s own design. We’ll talk more about the Oneblade in the next show. Our show is powered by , “What Your Father Didn’t Teach You about Shaving” Special Thanks to: Mark aka Mantic 59 Most of All……….YOU!!!!

Wet Shaving Gift Ideas for Valentines Day New Wolfman Razor Prototype Looks like Wolfman is at it again with a new prototype. Stay tuned for more information in the next few weeks. Charcoal Goods is Retiring Brian from Charcoal Goods announced he is retiring, and liquidating all razors and parts. The website is no longer in service. Brian turned a lot of heads with his razors, and started off making them with a vintage machine finished by hand for the first few before switching to a modern CNC machine. You can read my review of Charcoal Goods complete with an interview here: Why Titanium? As we kick off Titanium Month let’s first go over why? Well, there is no real reason to purchase a titanium razor. I mean, they're expensive, hard to come by and don't shave better…right? Titanium for my Straight Razor? Titanium may make a great safety razor but it’s not suited for straight razors, unless you just want a titanium handle. Titanium tends to be more brittle/softer than steel thus forcing it to lose it’s edge faster and will not stand up to the abuse of carbon steel. Gifts For Valentines Day . Here are some ideas if you are strapped for time and need that last minute gift:Cologne, AOS products, Shave Cabinet or Box, Virtual Gift Card. If you’re in NY hit up Pasteurs. .

Wet Shaving Talk For 19 December 2022 You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is December 19th, 2022 Today on the Show Sorry for the Hiatus Happy Holidays! How to Give the Perfect Wet Shaving Gift Vintage Wet Shaving Holiday Commercials My Favorite Christmas Soaps How to Give the Perfect Wet Shaving Gift Giving the perfect wet shaving gift can be a very difficult task….especially for spouses! Here is a quick guide on how to get the best wet shaving gift! Know a few things about the recipients interests Ask yourself these questions: Do they like vintage or modern gear? Synthetic or natural brushes What vendors do they currently already own? Have they mentioned anything they were looking to get? Phone a friend. If the recipient is active on forums or facebook there is nothing wrong with contacting a friend and asking them what they want. Contact the artisan or vendor they frequently use. Look through their collection and check out the sites of the stuff they already use. I’ve heard of stories where spouses have even contacted an artisan and asked what to get. Simply ask.

Wet Shaving Talk 2022 Fall Seasonal Special! 10/30/2022

Wet Shaving Talk 2022 Fall Seasonal Special! You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is October 26th, 2022 Today on the Show 7th Annual Fall Seasonal Special Previous Years Shows Barrister & Mann The Four Horseman: New for 2022: A one time offered 4 piece set that features scents based upon War, Famine, Plague, and Death. B&M vow that this will never be offered again!! Soap/Aftershave and other apparel. Death, the full fragrance encompasses notes of metal, aldehydes, gunpowder, leather, citrus, resins, clary sage, and amber. The peculiar, unsettlingly clean aroma of ozone and gun oil hangs over the scent of War like smoke on a battlefield, belying the foul, elemental hunger beneath The Four Horsemen: Famine is the essence of desiccation and dusty powder, redolent with the dry, parchment-like character of dehydrated flowers and cracked earth. Notes of rose, jasmine, vanilla, and cedar enfold the core chypre accord, the blend of citrus, resins, and moss that symbolizes Death Plague is the scent of botanical talismans and amulets, the pungent bouquet that suffused the infamous plague masks of the Black Death. We layered notes of thyme, sage, rosemary, lavender, and geranium over the core chypre of Death, itself a construct of citrus, resins, and moss, . A classical chypre structure constructed from the core accord of bergamot, labdanum, oakmoss, and patchouli, we clothed the skeleton in flesh of clary sage, rose, vetiver, amber, and bay to give solidity and power to The Great Cosmic Certainty. An eerily smooth, smoky fougère with a distinctly “ashy” character and the dark cast of some ancient atrocity. Timelessly elegant and refined, Fougère Gothique is a fragrance for someone accustomed to the fruits of all-encompassing power. Only at Maggards. Phoenix Artisan Accouterments Back for it’s 7th season: Scent Profile: Artemisia (Wormwood), Hungarian Oak, Elderflower, Absinthe, Neroli, Amyris, Elderberry, Burnt Sugar, Tobacco Absolute, & FEAR Absolute. And it glows in the dark. Atomic Pumpkin Bay Rum is steeped in classic pumpkin pie spices for up to 6 weeks before the batch is complete; Allspice, Ginger, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg...minus the Clove! I felt rather than opt for a typical orange top note I'd Reach for Moro Blood Orange instead. A spicy, woody oriental, both complex & lively. This timeless accord, like the original, features a bewitching dry-down from epic amber & creamy sandalwood/vanilla sliding into a sensuous vetiver/cedar finish. Instant Amore, trust me! : Back for its 10th year!!! Pipe Smoke, Mulled Cider, Oakwood, Dried Leaves, Linseed...seems innocent enough, right? Sweet and floral one minute, then vanillic or bitter or spicy, & leathery the next moment. It will be tough not to engage with this fragrance as it wears on like a three act play during the day! Coconut Oud is so much more than just something you shave with, it's an experience! : Lime, Patchouli, Mint = EPIC! Holding onto summer tight while moseying into fall! Based on Doc Holliday French Lavender, Bergamot, White Trefoil, Petitgrain, Rose Geranium, Tonka Bean, Clary Sage, Fir Needle, Pine, Juniper, Chamomile, Bamboo, Cedarwood, Haitian Vetiver, Rosewood, Purple Sandalwood, Rose Absolute, Hay Absolute, Oakmoss Absolute. The Holy Black Two different sets available Greed- Frankincense & Myrrh, The resinous fragrance is often associated with churches, the scent seems to change based on proximity to anything made of precious metals. Lust- Ambretta Musk, the original aphrodesiac, and the only musk derived from grain, members of the opposite sex behave strangely when this soap is applied. Sloth- Vanilla bean, sugar, molasses- as soon as this mixture is applied there is seemingly nothing in this world that requires immediate attention. All urgency dissipates from the mind. Wrath- Fire and brimstone- this preparation induces furious anger as soon as you smell the smoke.

Envy- Rose- the king of flowers, this soap affects those around you and they will attempt to take what’s yours. Beware. Stirling Soaps: A difficult aroma to put into words. Imagine walking through the damp woods on a brisk fall morning with the falling leaves in all their autumn glory. Anise with over 2% menthol crystals to add some shiver to this fantastic scent.

Uncle Jon’s Soap Get ready for fall with Uncle Jon’s Pumpkin Spice Scent. This mild, soothing scent features notes of pumpkin, clove, vanilla and allspice that will remind you of coffee shops in the fall Dr Jon’s Shaving Soap For those not familiar with Blood Oath, the fear of bad omens once would circulate and sweep through the superstitious bellies of ancient towns when unexplained moments of failed crop harvests or even morning milk soured by noon.
