07 13 2026 Monday Morning Mailbag Podcast

There’s something special about easing into a mid‑July Monday with a warm mug in hand and the porch waking up around you, and that’s exactly the spirit of today’s Monday Morning Mailbag. We’ll take our time with a fresh Viewer Morning Shaving Tip, enjoy a laid‑back Shave Den Visit that fits right in with the summer breeze, and check in on the Refill segment for familiar faces and helpful follow‑ups. Add a look at some of the new gear lined up for the week ahead, and you’ve got the kind of slow, comfortable Monday that pairs perfectly with porch coffee and good company. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s talk a little more wet shaving.===Topics:00:00 Introduction03:25 Viewer Morning Shaving Tip09:41 Shave Den Visit12:48 Reminders14:32 Giveaway Update16:18 Refill37:54 New Wet Shaving Gear Intro38:06 Yates Merica and PAA Original DOC 40:22: Two razors Under $16.0043:49: Tappy Razor45:28 Adjustable 34C46:55 PAA Sneak Peek47:59 New Wet Shaving Gear Closing48:13 Questions & Comments Intro48:29 Shaving Brushes53:12 Feather AS-D2 Razor56:09 Closing56:41 Last Laugh56:59 Double Take===Links to things discussed in today's show:The official Monday Morning Mailbag Coffee Mug: https://georgetoon-shaving.printify.me/product/16969962/george-monday-morning-mailbag-ceramic-mug-11oz-15oz===SpotPrints3D - Etsy - Official George Boom!
