Merkur Man in these parts any more, but his influence certainly lives on. His classic video on how to build a lather right on the puck is still my preferred method when it comes to shaving with Mike’s Natural or Mystic Water soaps. Talk about yogurt. Don’t let Yoplait see your results, or they’ll be scooping up your lather and pumping into little plastic pots sold for a buck apiece. And that won’t leave you much to shave with.
Today marks the end of my eighth year of shaving with soap, a brush, and a double-edged razor. What a fun, bizarre ride it’s been. Starting out, I never would have thought something as humdrum as shaving could spark so much interest (or drained away so many dollars!). But it’s been worth it, not only for the shaves, but really just as much for the cameraderie. Thanks for being a part of it.
