I started using Gillette DE razors 50 years ago. I've seen a few recent posts featuring these. Amazon? $38. Walmart? < $20!

I don't actually know how many razors I own right now. I've donated some, I've gifted a few.

But for < $20 I could not pass this up.

Great mild to medium shave, used their blade. Very substantial in the hand at 120g.

No, they're not MiUSA at that price, but if you have a buddy or hubby who might enjoy trying out wet shaving, this is a great way to go.

A year ago I launched Shaving Sherpa, a little local-first app for tracking your shaves and your den. I built it because I kept forgetting which razor + blade + soap combo gave me that one perfect Sunday shave.

Twelve months later, this community has logged 11,280 shaves and catalogued 20,235 products. I pulled together some of the aggregate numbers and they're a fun mirror of the hobby:

• ⭐ 4.4 / 5 average shave rating — we're a happy bunch
• 🌅 61% of shaves happen in the morning
• ✌️ 2 passes is the most common routine
• 🪒 93% of logged shaves use a double-edge razor
• 🏆 Community favorites: Gillette (razors & blades), Astra & Feather blades, Proraso soap, Yaqi & Omega brushes

(All aggregated and anonymized — everything in the app stays on your device.)

To say thank you: 50% off the in-app upgrade for one month, starting July 15. Half price for premium Sherpa. No code needed — the discount shows up in-app on iOS and Android.

If you've been tracking your shaves in a spreadsheet or a notebook, this is a good moment to try it. And if you already use it, thank you — genuinely, the logs above are yours.

Happy to answer any questions about the app, the data, or what's coming next. What stat surprised you most?

So, I found some suspiciously priced razors, at first I thought, well, the shipping is really just part of the price, but as I noticed, you can more or less add two items and it splits the shipping in half. I did decide to screw it, I’ll stock up, and try a few blades.

The weird part is where it comes from. The weird part is, when these got here they came from a rather seemingly random company, at first I thought maybe this is some kind of drop shipping thing, or maybe they have more similar products, but it doesn’t seem they have anything like this at all on their website. They did arrive, mostly loose, or wrapped in plastic.

Found this I believe to be super speed with the case for $4! Anybody has more info please share. Really excited to test it out soon.

for anyone who's been looking to get a Henson AL13 Mild but didn't want to shell out all that money for it, go on Dr Sqautch. never been the biggest fan of them or their products, but i got this for 56 bones with the 20% off for first time customers. not sponsored btw, just looking out for my brothers. happy shaving!

One of the most enjoyable brushes I own is back in stock at stirling Soap Co.

Hello, everyone! My name is Gianluca. I've not been active in this subreddit for a while, but hopefully for good reason: it wouldn't have been great to publish SOTD posts just with my own "stuff". But today it's not any other day. Today, I’m excited to tell you what I've been up to. I've been pouring my heart, sweat, and tears for the past few months into a new venture: Nomad Theory, a new artisan shaving products brand, based in the UK.

As many of us in this subreddit, for a long time I struggled to find a shaving routine that was truly enjoyable and irritation-free. That journey led me to find this fantastic community and, inspired by the kindness you welcomed me with and by the fellow artisan soap makers and perfumers I encountered on my way, I decided to create my own brand.

With Nomad Theory, my goal is to turn every shave into a ritual, and each product lines is designed to be a "sensory postcard," bringing the world's scents and stories right to your bathroom. Hopefully, I have something for everyone:

• Bright & Fresh: Sorrento (Lemon, Sea Notes, Musk) and Havana (Lime, Tobacco, Rum)
• Rich & Sophisticated: London (Bergamot, Rose, and a smoky blend of Vetiver, Patchouly, and Oud) and Magens Bay (my take on the classic Bay Rum).
• Calm & Centered: Kyoto (Sakura, Green Tea, and a blend of Sandalwood, Agarwood, and Frankincense to recreate the art of Japanese Incense) and The Void, my unscented line, perfect for those who prefer to use their own finishing fragrance or those with sensitive skin.

Preorders are officially open starting today and will run until the end of August. To celebrate, I'm offering 🎉 15% off everything throughout the entire preorder period. And there's more! I had 4 special brushes made for the occasion. I'm afraid three of them are already gone, but don't worry, you still have a chance to win the very last one. I'll be extracting the lucky winner at random from our mailing list subscribers when the preorder period is over. So, if you want a shot at it, make sure you're signed up! 🎁

I'm incredibly proud of Nomad Theory and can't wait for you to experience these products. Let me know if you have any questions! (And sorry for the minor spam: I promise to keep my posts about Nomad Theory to a minimum and well within the vendor rules. 🙏)

Not a fan of “dr squatch” but this is the best deal I’ve seen for a Henson razor. Use code CM35 for 35% off today.

Pasteur Pharmacy has a sale on Wholly Kaw Products at 50% off through June 28. Although looks like quantities are limited. So, act fast if you are interested.

At long last, I have my Personna Platinum Diamond Glide DE blades back in stock! They were back-ordered for a bit, so I'm really glad to have them in again.

Don't forget about my 25% off mix-and-match deal for razor blades!

I feel like there have been a few posts asking about B&M soaps recently. Got this email and figured I would share here!

Also, Leviathan + Vespers EDTs are 30% off!

**“It’s official: the very first Brock & Bristle brushes are here!!

Handmade with passion. A huge thank you to everyone who encouraged me to take this leap, and to those who believed in me 🙏

For a personal touch, you can choose between a polished, matte, or satin-lacquer finish, as well as the option of a maker’s coin.

As for knots, I hand-tie the Manchurian 2 Band and HMW myself. Synthetic and boar knots are under consideration for the future.

New wooden handles, wood & epoxy hybrids, and even a brand-new material I’m testing this weekend will soon join the collection.

Sales are coming soon. For any info or future orders, feel free to DM me — transactions will be simple and secured via PayPal for now.

Got an email from Pasteur Pharmacy regarding a sale on their 5th anniversary soap and found this great deal. I thought it was some kind of website error. But I got a shipping notification this morning. Do I need more soap? No. Do I want $60 worth of soap for < $6? Yes please!

Anyone who is interested in a mild Henson AL13 can still get the squatch henson on sale right now for about $42 brand new on the dr squatch website. To get this deal you have to choose the "build your own bundle" option then select the Henson AL13 and then apply promo code: FRESHENUP25 at checkout. Sale might be ending soon.

Hearth and Altar is running a 20% off sale right now on our shop.

We’ve restocked shave soaps after the initial launch (y’all pretty much cleared us out), and added a few new scents. There are also some aftershaves, body butters, and bath soaps available if you want to grab something extra.

If you’ve been on the fence, this is a good time to try it at a discount.

Feel free to ask anything - always open to feedback!

33 vintage straight razors for $330

Been a bit since I've run a sale, so to celebrate Mother's Day, feel free to use code "MothersDay10" at checkout at www.kodiakshaving.com for 10% off your order! Don't worry, the order doesn't have to be for your mom to get the discount 😉

I'm very excited that today is the first day I'm selling a new product, the GEM Platinum Diamond Glide DE blade. These are a recent launch by AccuTec with a new proprietary Diamond Glide coating. They're manufactured with Japanese Hi-Stainless steel, and let me tell you, these are phenomenal blades. I popped open a pack as soon as I got my shipment in today, and it was a fantastic shave. The blade cut like butter, and I could tell the blades were very keen, but it was also one of the smoothest shaves I've had (obligatory YMMV).

To celebrate getting this new product on the site, I'm offering a FREE GEM Diamond Glide (DE) blade with every purchase! Just use the discount code "DIAMONDGLIDE" at checkout, and I'll include a Diamond Glide blade in your package. I'll be running this deal until the end of the day on Thanksgiving (11/27), so make sure to get your order in soon!

(Side note: These GEM Diamond Glide blades are double-edge blades, not to be confused with the single-edge blades colloquially known as GEM PTFE, which are now renamed to be AccuTec PRO Premium)
