A Shave reminiscent of the Woodland Countryside

So recently, some weeks back, I went away on a trip to the township of Daylesford with my partner for about 3 days. We stayed in a cottage, on the outskirts of the main township, right in the middle of the wooded countryside. It was quite a change from the hustle and bustle of the city of Melbourne,  where I reside.

A New Introductory Shave

One of the better things in wet shaving is not only collecting and or "acquiring" the various different types of shaving soaps,  creams, Safety Razors and Straights. It's about introducing new people into the wet shaving community.

RazoRock Black Hawk SE Safety Razor - First Shave


I just recently purchased a RazoRock Black Hawk SE safety razor.  I purchased this piece with intrigue, seeing as I own 1 SE (Single Edge) Safety Razor, a Gem 1912, and I wanted to see what another type of SE handles like.

Vintage brass 1930's Gillette Tech Safety Razor - Review

Following up from my previous post, I restored a brass 1930's Gillette Tech Safety Razor. It was a long process, but I achieved amazing results, removing decades worth of tarnish and corrosion to reveal the safety razor's original beauty.

Vintage Brass 1930's Gillette Tech Safety Razor

This wild antique find was actually inspired by a trip with my partner to Daylesford. There, we visited the local Antiquities store Brick Lane Bazaar, which was when I laid eyes on an antique Gillette Tech 1930's full brass, long comb safety razor.
