Article: I really disliked the morning routine of shaving. Like many, I would purchase the razors from the store that had numerous ads on tv telling me to buy them. They would leave my face irritated and they almost never gave me a close shave. I decided to research shaving and it has changed my life. I now shave exclusively with a double edge safety razor or straight razor. It has opened my eyes to some wonderful products, such as high end creams and blades and gives me a smooth, irritation free shave. If you have tried shaving this way, I highly recommend giving it a try. Here is a great article from Gear Patrol that might inspire you to give it a shot. If not, it will allow you view some cool images and a great read. Check it out here. If you are interested in getting set up with some cool gear, I highly recommend West Coast Shaving.

Have a great weekend everyone! We have some good reviews coming next week. We’ll see you then. Cheers!
