New Stuff From Wiborg
Wiborg has recently launched some new items. The quiet shave brush company has some of the most sought after models, and I have no idea how to get one.
I have usd a Wiborg brush before and agree they're awesome, but still do not know how to get one. The website is always sold out and the company has never responded to an email of mine.
______________________________________________________________________________Ti Glide from Titaner
This new single edge razor takes ½ of a DE blade and is importanted from Asia. Still in the beginning stages, I signed up for their newsletter and found them to be very active on social media. What are your thoughts?

Old Soaps Worth Trying
What are some brands that have been around worth trying?
Vintage Shave soap has a certain appeal to some wet shavers. Although getting more and more difficult to find, there are still many out there. Shave soap with time tends to harden up and lose its scent but performance is still there.
You’ll need to “wake up” the soap by using it. After several decades of storage they tend to get dry and hard. A little warm water will wake them right up!
Here are brands to look for:
-Tabac: It’s fun to see how this soap has evolved over the years
-Yardley: Direct from the UK, this is one of the most popular with the vintage soap crowd.
-Williams: Yes I said Williams. The vintage stuff works great.
-Burma Shave: So popular in the 50's and 60’s and still a lot out there.
-Old Spice: No more words needed
-Palmolive shave sticks
-Vergulde Hand: Oldest soap still in production from the 1500’s
