What was your ONE purchase in 2024 that impressed you most and why?

1 thing in general, is my preference for milder razors after 4 years of classical wet shaving. And the fact that I bought 2 of them again this year, after having sold them earlier on..... this is one of them

My $7 box of Dorco blades was a revelation. They are my smoothest, most effective blades with crazy longevity (~18 to 20 shaves) regardless of the razor I use, whether an OC, CC, or slant.

I have very much enjoyed this Zenith B-33 boar brush. Of my several new boar brushes, this one stands out. It feels great in my hand, with a knot that does everything right and I’m enjoying the changes with patina on my first copper handle.

my rockwell 6s. it blows that crummy 34c I was using out of the water. I will never forget my first shave with that with baseplate 4 being used.

Mach 3. New handle looks better and is thinner so it, uh, handles better.

(Cowers to dodge slings and arrows ...... )

If you like the Mach 3, you might like the Defender (defenderrazor.com). I use it as my travel razor (if I am not checking baggage) and prefer it to Gillette's offerings.

For me the most outstanding purchases I made this year were the Paradigm Ti Diamondback, the Oliworks OliBlade Adjustable, and the Karve Bison. All equally wonderful and different.

Oh, and the brushes would be my Wald J4 badger and my Wald Delphi synthetic. Love both.

Amazingly (to me) the Cyber razor has proven to be far superior to my Henson and SCS model A1. Provides me with a smooth, comfortable and efficient shaves regardless of the blade. Great razor
