I was lucky enough to obtain a Merkur Progress safety razor at very good price. But, new or used, this is a razor you really need to have in your rotation! Here’s my video review of a REALLY terrific adjustable razor! =============== Merkur Progress Adjustable Safety Razor: http://amzn.to/2q3ZbsG Other popular razors: Edwin Jagger Double Edge […]

I recently purchased a used adjustable razor. The price was too good to pass up. As you’ll see in this video, after unboxing the safety razor, I immediately did a full sanitizing in Barbacide. This video will show you how to mix Barbacide and sanitize a safety razor. A full jar of Barbacide solution is: […]

A really neat double unboxing. Two items that every wet shaver needs in their shaving den, especially if they’re purchasing used/vintage safety razors! ================= Barbicide Disinfectant 16oz Conc: http://amzn.to/2pqFFbw BARBICIDE Disinfecting Jar: http://amzn.to/2oNBySP While the Barbacide jar offered on Amazon is very nice, make sure to look around local antique and thrift stores. You may […]

An unboxing video that took me by surprise! My thanks to YouTuber 000jimbojones000 for the free download starfield animation: https://youtu.be/qWDmlFsIMHM The shaving brush can be found on Amazon at: http://amzn.to/2oLVdmX. The brush comes with it’s own shaving stand. My guess on the price is a bit off. I believe this is due to being manufactured […]

Vintage razors are all the rage in wet shaving communities. A couple of reasons come into play as to why. First, it’s because they were made from  premium materials.  Brass and bronze were incorporated throughout.  And the chrome/nickel plating was done is such a way that they’ve held up for decades. Even though they are […]

In a previous video, you were shown the unboxing of this razor. Now for the review! The Edwin Jagger Ebony short-handled razor gives you a surprisingly nice shave. I found it to be an even better shave than the standard sized Edwin Jagger razor, the EJ DE89L (Lined Handle). Plus this smaller Edwin Jagger comes […]

  Edwin Jagger offers a short handled razor in four different configurations. I opted for the Ebony model which comes with a rubberized handle and chromed capped accents. In addition, the price is very agreeable. $22.52. Although, since my purchase, the price appears to have increased by a couple of bucks. ================= Edwin Jagger Double […]

These Dorco razor blades cost just over 7 bucks for 100! A real bargain that amounts to giving you shaves for just pennies a day! They come in a tray-box in packages of ten and individually wrapped. They’ll fit any standard safety razor. I’ll give them a good test drive and post a full review […]

Razors and blades are very subjective. Your mileage may vary. I found the V3 razor head from Maggard Razors to be VERY aggressive. It’s not a razor I would use every day. In my test drive, I used it three days in a row and, on the third day, I notice some skin irritation on […]

For many cartoonists, part of the process is the search to find the ultimate pencil or pen.  Cartoonists draw with, and try, many different kinds of drawing instruments.  With each new acquisition, we have hope that it will breath new life into our artwork.  Or, perhaps, help us to work faster with better results. So […]
