Suddenly realized I'm out of shaving soap. Just a tiny sliver of a puck left.

So I got some Proraso Green (which I've wanted to try since forever), and a tub of Arko shave soap.

Added bonus:



Lookatit! It's got a face in the soap :haw:

I almost don't want to use it. The art deco style is really tickling my fancy here.

That's art deco?

I have a lot of retro toiletries too. It's for people who like to look back to a time when men were real men and were sophisticated. I poo poo in a box in my backyard and wipe with old corn cobs.

It's considerably cheaper after you own a razor and brush. A year's worth of blades is just a few dollars. I also get a lot off irritation and have much smoother skin. A lot of the problem is that most canned shaving creams have a propellant in them that will dry out your skin.

Wet shaving is not some hipster trend, the only people I know that do it are old men. It's simply a better and much cheaper method of shaving. Hipsters are all about bad facial hair.

I've been doing it for 7 years and I'm under 30. I just like the shave a lot better mostly. I even have travel cases for my razor and brush since I'm on the road two nights a week. I could get away with using a cartridge razor, but I'll never go back to canned shaving cream.

i dont even know what is hipster anymore since beards have crossed into the mainstream. women have started using beards as a way to single out men when that wasnt really a thing in the last 10 years. maybe its time for the mustache to rule the day next

Not selling me on the 'not a hipster' thing with this sentence. "This hat/shirt/accessory is so bad, it makes me look old/republican/douche-y. I'll take it." is very much a hipster kind of thing, and it's fair to assume that kind of attitude would carry over to personal hygiene.

I guess if it gets them to shave it can't be all bad though.

But electric razors have reached a point where if you spend about a hundred bucks, you get practically the same level of shave as all this.

All I know is we really need a drat shaving accessories and techniques thread, as any time there's more than 4 replies in this thread, it's some white noise about blades again.

As for content: just backed this Kickstarter.

It's certainly not for everyone. If shaving with an electric works fine for you, there's no reason to change. Most people who switch to DE do for one of these reasons :
1) Other shaving methods irritate their skin/gives them razor burn, etc.
2) It's a way to save money
3) For them. it makes shaving a fun activity instead of it being a chore

If none of these appeal to you, then it's not something that is for you.

I don't think there is anything else to this "debate"

Same here, plus i don't want to be a knob-end buying genuine badger hair brushes and/or Uncle Jims Olde Tyme Shave Soap (made in 2015, but in totally retro looking packaging).

This seems to be the same thing as people buying vinyl/cassettes.

It dried my skin horribly and did a crap job of removing the hair. I'm going to keep it just so I can use the flip-up trimmer when I get too scruffy to use a stick razor.

Shoes, jeans, pens, cars, guns, and razors. My favorite thing about this thread is that no matter what you buy, someone will think you're an rear end in a top hat for buying it.

e: Got a 7x24" red oak sign that reads "The XXXXXs" (where the Xs are my last name) from Nick Offerman's wood shop for my wife's birthday. She wanted a sign like that for the house since we got married, and she loves Parks & Rec and Offerman's standup. He obviously didn't make it himself, but he wrote a nice note about where the wood came from and it turned out much better than I could have done. It's reclaimed barn wood, and it must be really old because it's an incredibly tight grain.

If a $200 bed lasts 5 years, that's a pretty good deal IMO. I've moved mine twice, and it's fine as long as you take it completely apart. I have no complaints.

I actually may have that mattress, too.

I've had a Malm (in dark brown) since mid-2006 and it's still perfectly fine. No signs of wear or anything. On the other hand, whatever desk I bought at IKEA in that same trip in '06 shows lots of wear even though I've never been particularly rough on it or anything. I need to replace this thing soon.
