SOTD – Sampling the Samples

Even almost a full year in to this experience, I'm still learning. Not only is the experimentation and learning about what products work for me, it's also about developing skills to help ensure the best shave possible. I'm working through...

Sunday SOTD – The Bic in the KCG

I've said it often that my experience with double edge or safety razor or wet shaving is a constant learning experience. I've got enough combination options to be able to change up almost every aspect of my shave with every...

The SOTD – What a Dorco!

I'm continuing to work through blades in my collection, and this time, it's the Dorco Platinum HQ Red. Dorco is an interesting story in the shaving world. Or at least I find it interesting. It's a South Korea-based company that...

The Saturday Proraso Shave of the Day

You'll recall that a couple of weeks ago, I tried out the Bic Chrome Platinum blades that I'd had in inventory since last September. I'd seen them posted in the Wicked Edge subreddit a few times (certainly less than some...
