You're listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we're dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I'm your host Joe Borrelli and today is April 22nd,2024. ______________________________________________________________________________   Today on the Show:   Barn Find Gillette An Awesome 2024 Story! Email: Are Simpson Brushes Worth it? How Does Your Morning Routine Affect Your Kids?  May Is Dedication to Single Edge Safety Razors  A Month With Tabac Coming to an End!    ______________________________________________________________________________ Barn Find Gillette!    Hard to believe that just after a week of the last cast I was contacted by someone who literally found a Bottom Dial. This razor was found while cleaning an old estate.   ______________________________________________________________________________Email: Are Simpson Brushes Worth It?  I received an email from a listener asking if Simpson Brushes were worth purchasing.   I think they make some excellent brushes.  All badger brushes are hand tied in the handle and they make some of the best synthetic shave knots out there.  Prices vary but you can get one for under $100.   ______________________________________________________________________________How Does Your Morning Routine Affect Your Kids?       Father's Day is approaching (well in a couple of months).  There's a good chance if you're listening to this, you probably have memories of your father/grandfather's morning routine that bring a smile to your face.     Understanding this, as times change do we realize that we may have the same effect on our kids?  Yes, the world seems faster now and with tons of information available at our fingertips. Many people these days go days without shaving, no longer wear a tie and even work from home.     How do we slow down to give our children the same experience we had?  I'll tell you my thoughts. Check out this article from last year: https://sharpologist.com/nostalgia-shaving/  _____________________________________________________________________________ May is Dedication to Single Edge Safety Razor Month There are many wet shavers who love Single edge razors!  It's probably the most altered design in all of wet shaving.   For May, I will be using nothing but Single Edge Safety razors and will feature several types  each cast.
