Shave of the Day
Gentlemen,
This seems to be a popular thread on many of the wet-shaving forums, and I thought it would be nice to do this here as well. Here's how it works: just reply to this thread posting the hardware(razor, blade, and brush) and software (Soap/cream, aftershave) that you used for that day's shave. This would be a good way for those new to the idea of "Shaving like your Grandpa" to see what products are out there and a good encouragement for the rest of us!
I'll begin!
Today's shave 5/27/2010
Merkur Slant DE
Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (Green label)
Van Der Hagen Boar brush
Proraso shave cream
Witch Hazel
Proraso aftershave balm
There you are fellows! Let's see those shaves!
Cheers!
Aaron

Daniel posted a discussionCasual Belts for Jeans?
Is there a rule to follow for wearing belts for jeans? I understand that casual belts can have bigger buckles and I am fond of a belt with a bigger buckle. Can anyone recommend any good belts for jeans? The belts I currently have are geared more for dress clothes. I was at TJ Maxx and saw some belts from LaCrosse and Ralph Polo for only $20. I was not sure if those belts were for dress pants specifically. See More
