I need to catalogue my shaving supplies. Every time I dive into my cabinet, I come out with something I almost forgot was in there. It’s probably a sign that I have too many wet shaving products, but that’s not possible, right?

Mühle R41 Open Comb Razor Review
Months prior to this review, when I first unpacked my new Mühle R41, I thought to myself, “How much different can this razor be than what I’m already using?” I should have known better.

Blaviar “Sigma Aftershave Balm Review
These days, not too many shaving products appear on the wet shaving scene without my knowledge. Sure, there are plenty of brands I have yet to try (don’t worry, I’m coming for you).

Soap Commander Courage Shaving Soap Review
Just over a year ago I received a sample that changed the way I thought about shaving products, specifically aftershave balms. I’m talking about the Soap Commander “Courage” aftershave balm. Click here to go back and read my full review. That aftershave balm prompted me to check out Soaps Commander’s line of shaving soaps too. If you know me or read this blog, you know I always prefer products with matching scents, so it should be no surprise that I picked up a tub of the “Courage” shaving soap too.
