My daughter checked out the razors and brushes in my shaving den.
My daughter showed some curiosity about my shaving den. First, she asked me to show her my favorite razors. I first showed her my Red tip which is a new acquisition tome and is still being evaluated. (the evaluation is going well). Then I brought out my favorites, The Canadian prewar tech The Gillette slim and the Henson medium in blue steel. She liked the Henson the best, she said it was the best looking and had the best design. Then she asked what we should call it. I said how about Henson here is the box it came in. She was surprised it was new and not vintage.
Then she checked out my brushes. She did a cursory inspection of my brushes. Noted the ruby handled T3 Trafalgar Simpson. Then she asked about which brush is the one I refurbished. Then she saw my Semogue 1305 boar with all the split ends sprouting from the knot. She told me I needed to replace the knot on that one. I told her the split end knot is what you want in a boar brush it makes it a great brush.
She was taken aback by the fact it was made of boar hair. She likes pigs and cows and won’t eat them. I told her some of the brushes were made of badger hair too. Then she asked if any of the brushes were synthetic. I said yes some were. I showed her which ones were synthetic. It was strange it was like she instinctually knew that synthetic brushes existed.
Then she asked if I ever use the Mach 3 cartridges. I said never that is for you and my wife.
I than showed her the mild Henson I gave my wife. My wife walked in and told my daughter to back off that was her razor, and she can’t take it. A time back she took my wife’s Mach 3 that is why my wife got a Henson.
She said I had a weird hobby. I said yes it was weird. Then I told her used to have another weird hobby when I lived up north. Mushroom hunting. She said that was weird too.
