Gentlemen,

I really enjoyed this past week's budget theme, and I hope both new and experienced shavers got some great ideas there. This week, we will do an about face, and see your most luxurious shave items. Like many here at B&B, what started off as inexpensive way to shave developed into a hobby for me. The experimentation exposed me to some great, high-end products, along with the bargain ones.

Next week, we will do a travel gear theme week.
