BrushnSoapnBlade Wet Shaving Podcast Where we look forward to shaving every day!A podcast dedicated to my journey and enjoyment of wet shaving with vintage safety razors.So, how did I get into wet shaving? Below is my story.I recently found that I enjoy shaving again. There was a time when I stressed and hurried and it was getting to me. One of the things that I did was slow down and try to enjoy the simple things. One of the simple things that I now enjoy is wet shaving. I started this blog to share my experiences with traditional wet shaving..I had previously shaved in the shower. I was wet shaving and didnt even know it. I used a Good News disposable plastic razor. Shaving in the shower using normal soap was the normal. I didnt have a mirror. I didnt need one. Just got used to it over time I guess. Some think this talent to not use a mirror is a secret Ninja skill. I figured I was just lazy. But back to the story..This caused a couple of things. First, since I didnt use a mirror, everything was done by feel. Needless to say, I understood the grain of my beard. It was just a natural outcome of wet shaving this way.Secondly, I found that my razors lasted for a long time. To have a disposable razor last 3 months was normal for me. I changed them out from time to time. Only because I felt they should be changed out, not that they really needed it.I found my first vintage Gillette double edge razor in an antique shop. I bought it and brought it home. It cleaned up nicely. I got some Wilkinson blades for it and tried it out. I got a good shave from it and it forced me to slow down just a bit. (I really enjoyed slowing down)I have continued acquiring Double Edge razors as well as Single Edge razors. I find that I like both styles. The brushes and soaps that I use have also added to the fun of the overall wet shaving experience.In order to better present this journey, I started a Blog and then added a Podcast. I find that I am a better speaker than I am a writer (or typist).So thats how I started on this wonderful journey of traditional wet shaving. Im more relaxed when I walk out of the house every morning after having a good, relaxing shave.

Notice the rather shallow / small blade holder! (On the bottom in the picture) How about a closer look? If you look close you can see the hooks that cover the blade corners to protect you. Let's look at a Feather spineless blade. Notice the two half round cutouts? You slide the blade into the holder from one side... And it will clip in place using the half round cutouts for alignment.
