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 July 28th, 2025. ____________________________________________________________________________ Today on the Show:   Complete Wet Shaving Starter Kit for $20!  RazorRock: Daily  3-D Printed Shaving Gear: Moving up!  Collector Series: Apollo Mikron ___________________________________________________________________________   Wet Shaving Kit at $20 If you listened last week, we discussed cheap wet shaving stuff.  Well, I took the last two weeks and was able to build a wet shaving kit for under $20   Here it is: Gillette 7'clock Permasharp: $7.99  VDH Shave Soap $5.99   Omega Brush    ____________________________________________________________________________ RazorRock Daily Double Edge Safety Razor   Introducing the RazoRock DAILY, the ultimate double-edge (DE) safety razor designed for precision, comfort, and effortless daily use. Whether you're a first-time wet shaver or a seasoned pro, the DAILY delivers a world-class shaving experience that's smooth, sustainable, and endlessly customizable. ____________________________________________________________________________ 3 D Printed Wet Shaving Gear : Moving Up   I'm really impressed how 3-D printed wet shaving gear has come along. From razors to brushes and all in between, the quality is getting better.     ____________________________________________________________________________ Collector Series: Apollo Mikron      The extremely rare yet innovative Apollo Mikron was released in limited quantity around the 1950's and consisted of a similar design as Gillette's Fatboy.  The adjustment knob on the bottom can actually be removed and the inner mechanism can be adjusted further to the user's preference.  Earlier Apollo models were designed to use only Apollo blades but later models accept all double edge blades. There is not much information on these hefty razors from Germany. The lack of date codes makes it almost impossible to accurately find production times. Some will argue that the Apollo was created before Gillette even produced their first adjustable.  One thing's for sure, this is one cool razor! ____________________________________________________________________________ Mantic's New Site: The Black Coffee Life    MAntic has a new site dedicated to coffee:  Check it out: https://theblackcoffeelife.com/    ____________________________________________________________________________ Our show is powered by Sharpologist.com, "What Your Father Didn't Teach You about Shaving"  Special Thanks to:   Mark aka Mantic 59 Most of All……….YOU!!!!   Don't forget to check out my blog site www.shavestraightandsafe.com  for the tips and interesting wet shaving stories!   Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]     Subscribe to my You Tube Chanel for videos regarding some interesting wet shaving content.   Don't forget to check out my book "The Modern Guide to Straight Razor Shaving" available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and at Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC.    If you're a vendor and would like to be featured on the show please contact me!!   Next Show: 8/11/25
