Said to myself “wow” when I saw your response in the brush category. Moving away from badgers in 2019?

I've only used a badger maybe 1 or 2 times in all of 2018.  For most of my shaves, it's been the razorock $10 synthetic....it just works well for me!

I too am a big fan of Razorock synthetics! Very inexpensive! High quality! Excellent selection! And they simply work great! Hard to beat! My favorite one is the $13 dollar brush with the black barber handle.



Happy Shaving!

Post Shave Care: Shaveworks Cool Fix (as a post-shave pre-aftershave if that makes sense)

Greetings,


I shaved 314 days last year and I religiously rotate my hardware and software.


Razor:

Over the year, I used 22 razors.  The Blackland BlackBird v1 and Blackland Sabre tied with 23 uses each.  Thirteen additional razors were used 15 or more times each.


Brush:

I utilized 20 brushes over the past year.  My Paladin Winston Churchill SE was tops with 22 uses.  Again, 13 additional brushes were used 15 or more times each.


Shaving Soap:

In 2018, I used 31 soaps.  Two Barrister and Mann Latha's, Sandalwood and Taiga, topped the list with twenty uses each.  Ten more soaps were used 15 or more times each.


Aftershave:

I used 33 aftershaves in 2018.  Catie's Bubbles Santal Sensuelle had 20 uses to lead the pack.  Additionally, seven aftershaves were used 15 or more times each.


Blades:

I used 15 brands/types of blades in the last year.  The runaway winner was my Astra SP's with 140 uses.  Four more blades were used 15 or more times each.
