Doug Erwin made it for me. Nothing fancy here in terms of grooming. I've never bought or used disposable razors.

Very nice. I didn’t know doug made shaving equipment as well. I’m sure you have some real shave soap close by.

Yes, he had a few manly items for sale at one point. I haven't used soap in a while, I think this is my third consecutive can of Barbasol.

That is very interesting. Is it Japanese?
Yeah! It’s made by a company that makes a lot of edged things called KAI. I was going to save up for a custom hand forged one but I reeled in my excitement on that idea. This one was spendy as it is. It’s crazy how close I can get with it. I have another traditional straight razor and a safety razor like the one @Tsal posted with a very similar stand. I also have two electric razors for when I gotta clean up quick and don’t have the time to go through the whole ritual.

Can you please share a link to this? I am very intrigued but I am not exactly sure what I am looking at. Thank you in advance. :king:

I’ll take a razor stand. My one from Amazon is peeling like crazy.
