Gentlemen: My first and only experience with a Bay Rum scented soap was the QCS rendition. Frankly, I was underwhelmed, because it smelled like plain old sea water to me. Without knowing anything about the scent or its history, I thought, "Really? Is this what the whole fuss it about? It...

I was making some videos for a contest on another forum and decided to shoot one of honing a kamisori and one of honing a western straight. Both videos are of honing on a finishing hone. The kamisori needed the bevel set towards the heel, that was done fully on the finishing stone with koma...

Five months into double edge shaving, I just picked up a Bismarck Registered straight razor at a flea market today for $15. I've been working my way up to exploring straight razors, and there it was, looking as if it just might be a diamond in the rough, under all that gunk and rust, and probably...

I'm looking to get back into straights after I abandoned them a few years ago (used to love the experience but somehow lost interest in wet-shaving for a while :blushing:). I've been looking at Thiers issard and in particular two entry level razors they do (since I don't have much money...

In keeping up with my SAD, I've been looking to get a few artisan soaps in the mix. I'm currently looking at Strop Shoppe, the Holy Black Company, Mystic Waters and Mike's. Due to budget concerns, I have to stick to one first, the question now is which one? Any advice would be helpful.
