    • Brush: AP Shave Co Strawberry Cream 26mm G5A

    • Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 472 13/16" Full Hollow Square Point

    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Spiced - Soap

    • Toner: None

    • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Spiced - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    Another great travel shave. A stainless straight, travel strop, synthetic knot, soap and splash make for a great kit. Feels very civilized :)

    I went to the meetup at Maggard Razors yesterday and had the opportunity to meet several sub members. All were as nice in person as they are as redditors. I really enjoyed this opportunity and was honored to chat with some of you in person. I hope to return next year. I also had the chance to meet several of the vendors who regularly frequent the sub. I have way too much stuff already, and told myself not to buy anything, yet I walked away with samples galore, and purchases from Stirling, and Wholly Kaw. I really need to work on self control.

      Yay, sounds like the Maggard meet was fun!

      I hope to also make it there one day.

      Self control is an August thing, were still in April😉

        Yes. It was fun. This was my first time going. They guys and the vendors who have been there many times make it feel like more of a reunion.

        Going to Adrian, MI from Switzerland would be quite the trip. Adrian isn’t in the middle of nowhere, but you can see nowhere from there :)

          I drove past it on I90 a couple times, not understanding its significance.

          I only met with three fellow internet shavers IRL, but it also felt a bit like a reunion. We do know each other already

            I was there primarily at the urging of VisceralWatch. We spent quite a while talking, and I’m glad he convinced me to go.

              He is the social butterfly of Wetshaving😅

              I met him a bit over a year ago

                Yes, he mentioned that to me and that he enjoyed meeting you IRL. He was very generous with his time with me. It was he is part of a large group of shavers who enjoy reuniting at the event. There was a lot for them to catch up on.
