    Default Spreading the word

    Yesterday I found out a co-worker uses a badger brush and soap (from AoS), but still a regular cartridge razor.

    Today he was lent a '54 Flair Tip SS with some blades (Derby, Red IP, Astra.)

    Hopefully we will have another convert

    I hate to be a party pooper (well, I don't really hate it), but that guy using a badger brush and AOS soap IS wet shaving. You just don't approve of his razor.
    My mileage does vary.

    A minor issue, you've done the right thing. Good for you, and keep spreading the word.

    Good man!

    I have only converted my old man so far. He was using a Mach3 and only got shaved once a week if that due to the razor burn and the tugging etc.

    Now he shaves with a nice EJ DE89L and EJ Best Badger Brush with Derby Blades. Hell, I've even got him using TOBS Creams

    If only my mother could see (and smell) him now.

    I've managed to convert three people online, one is very interested in straights but inl no one is interested, they have it in their heads that gillette is the best without question.

    Update:

    He came into my office a few days ago and said he loved it I believe he ended up picking the Astra as his first blade.
