Buy Your Dad an Old-School Safety Razor
Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and even Parent’s Day. What do they all have in common? If you answered that they are cynical cash-ins by greetings card companies and a great way for PR flacks to hawk the same plastic crap year after year, then you’d be right.
If you you think that they’re a wonderful way to thank your parents for putting up with you for so many years, then you’re wrong. But as you’re going to go ahead and waste money on your dad this Sunday anyway, why not get him something good for a change? Like this classic travel razor from Merkur, a miniature version of a razor so good that it has been on sale for 50 years.
There are no gimmicks here, just a nickel-plated and chrome-plated brass safety razor which unscrews into sections and fits into a tiny leather pouch. The blades are the old-school kind with two edges, and they are clamped between the screw-closed jaws so just the edges protrude behind a guard.
You’ll be saving pops money, too. Blades come in packs of ten which cost around four bucks each, or even $5 for 100 Compare this to Amazon’s $60 list prices for 12 and 15-packs of modern cartridges like the Mach 3 or Fusion from Gillette.
Luckily, my father sees through this nonsense and refuses to let me buy him as much as a card. Then again, he is as stubbly and scruffy as his son, so a razor would be as useless as buying shampoo for a bald man.
Available now, from around $40.

King Custom Made Shaving Brushes and DEs - Straight Razor Place
I am 35 years old and live in Croatia. I started to use DE many years ago (probbably more than 10) and 6 years ago I strated with straight razor shaving. Very quickly that become my hobby so I invest lot of my time in learning things that are connected with straight razor shaving (honing, restoring etc...). Few years ago I decided to start making shaving brushes and DEs. In the beggining it was very hard and I rejected many of my finished products. Main reasons for rejecting was unapropriate shape, bad wood blanks etc..etc. When things become better most of my products I give to my friends as a present. So, now I am here and I am glad that I can offer my products to this community.
