5 Benefits of Traditional Shaving
Posted by Jason Riegle on
Traditional shaving, using a safety razor or straight razor, offers several benefits over mass-produced cartridge razors:
-
Closer Shave: Traditional razors offer a closer and more precise shave, as they have a single blade that cuts the hair at skin level.
-
Cost-Effective: Over time, traditional razors can be much more cost-effective than cartridge razors, which require frequent replacement of the blades.
-
Environmentally Friendly: Traditional razors are reusable and have less waste compared to cartridge razors, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
-
Improved Skill: Using a traditional razor can be an opportunity to improve shaving technique, leading to a more enjoyable and satisfying experience.
-
Tradition and Ritual: Shaving with a traditional razor can be a part of a grooming ritual that offers a sense of tradition and connection to the past.

Badger Hair Demystified
Posted by Guest Writer Series on
Boar brushes are relatively inexpensive and found in a wide variety of stores. Synthetic brushes are easy to use and are low maintenance. Boar and synthetic brushes might have badger beat in a few departments, but nothing says “luxury” like a badger hair shave brush. Not all badger brushes are created equally, however. There is a bit of myth and mystery involved when it comes to deciphering badger hair terminology. Cutting through the hair grading system (and the marketing gimmicks) will help you make the most of your badger brush purchase.
