What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving

Two new pieces went up on Sharpologist this week and, on the surface, they look like very different reads. One is about patterns. The other is about a specific piece of gear. But together they tell a more complete story about how real world shaving actually works.

First, a close look at something many of us scroll past every day without really thinking about it: Shave of the Day (SOTD) posts. When you line up enough of them, they stop looking like random snapshots and start revealing habits. What experienced shavers really rotate.

If you have ever wondered what daily shaving behavior looks like once the experimentation phase fades, this one is for you.

Second, we published a full review of the PAA Moon Stryker brush.

On paper it is just another modern synthetic. In practice, it fits right into some of the patterns the SOTD article talks about. Comfortable, consistent, easy to live with day after day. The kind of tool that doesn't shout for attention but earns a spot in the rotation.

If you are curious whether the Moon Stryker deserves that kind of long term place in your den, the review breaks it down honestly.

If you read them back to back, you may notice something interesting. One shows you what shavers actually do. The other shows you a tool that makes sense in that reality.

Enjoy both, and as always, let me know what patterns you see in your own routine.
