I appreciate all the time and effort you have spent giving a lot of tips, tricks, product reviews, etc. Really helped me find all the tools and tomorrow I am sure it will help me get the best shave that I could possibly do (it being my first time with a safety razor). So thank you, please keep up the awesome work.
ReplyDeletewatched a few of your videos and I am now a convert . I now have a Parker 99R , great shaving soap, and a good brush, Because of your videos I now know that shaving is a daily personal (luxury event) that is enjoyable. I wanted to thank you for opening my eyes. Shaving the old school is part of my daily dose of personal nirvana, besides smoking good hand rolled cigars that is. geo keep up the good work and Gods speed Zino
