Good evening everyone! I’m Brian - live in Maryland. My story is very similar to a lot of wetshavers - started to save money remembering that my dad did it the ”old fashioned way.“ I’ve been doing it for 5 years, but just started the hobby about this time last year And now I’m hooked. Started watching Barber Dave’s and Spider’s videos and that led me here. Just recently bought my first CBL soap. Looking forward to the advice and camaraderie. I’ve found lots of great info and discussions on this site

Welcome Brian! Glad you could join us.

What are some of your favorite traditional shaving items currently?
 
Thanks everyone for the welcome. In my den - I like all things stainless steel or brass - if the heavier the better. If they could put a blade on a dumbbell or brick - I’d buy it lol.. My go to razor is the Vector. As far as soaps are concerned - I’m all over the map - I like both vegan and tallow - I tend to lean towards citrus or boozy scents. My most recent purchases were Fine Accoutrements and Victory Shave Co - both due to recommendations from this site. what I like most about this hobby is how friendly the people are - most people bend over backwards to help or offer suggestions which I appreciate. Plus most vendors/artisans i find are the same way. It really feels like a community

Stunt Shaves for VLOGers

Greetings Cadre! A while back I suggested the idea of getting the VLOGers united in common shaves by doing stunt shaves, or doing something unusual for one shave a month. There was a little bit of interest then, and has since been rekindled. I inadvertently started it a couple shaves ago with a...
