Today I committed heresy.

I shaved with a Schick cartridge razor. Shocked

It wasn't too bad - C.O. Bigelow shaving cream and scentless ASB, followed by T&H Clubman cologne.

Pretty good shave, not quite as close as with my DE shaves, but a good shave nonetheless and pretty comfortable.

How big are your bathrooms? I have never imagined having so many razors, and shaving paraphanelia.

Ah; sources for re-bristling brushes? I have a beautiful German brush my father-in-law brought back from WWII; would love to have it restored. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hey guys, my SOTD

Vintage Gillette Tech
Feather Blade
Old Post Road #4 (new formula)
Generic Witch Hazel
Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad ASB

This was an amazing shave. For those of you that don't know, OPR#4 is a lather-free shave soap that goes on fast and provides an incredibly close shave. I was able to get a BBS without any irritation at all. I have been a brush and soap/cream guy, but OPR#4 is an incredible alternative.

Disclaimer: I have no ties to any products mentioned other than being a user and a fan (of everything listed BTW)

Just bought my first brush and soap today at CVS. What kind of maintence does the brush need? i rinsed it today afterwards and it kind of fluffed up for lack of a better word. Should I just let the soap dry or was that right?

Either way, I used a Mach 3 and it was the best shave I ever gave myself. My wife compared it to when I get a shave at my barber shop.
