My "Golf Ball" Razor + Headshaving + Shave Accountability

What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving

My "Golf Ball" Razor?

Interest in the Tatara Masamune double edge razor (and its variants) seems to be trending lately, so I thought I should add my own voice to the chorus.

When I first saw the razor handle I immediately nicknamed it "my golf ball razor" as the handle texturing is dimpled like a golf ball rather than the more common lining or diamond etching designs. I thought to myself "there is no way this razor can feel secure in my hand."

(I was wrong.)

While not as heavy as some other razors out there I think the razor has a nice "heft" to it (it actually "feels" heavier than it is to me) and it's balanced just the way I like--more towards the head than the bottom of the handle.

Head Shaving With The OneBlade Razor

The OneBlade has been on the market for around six years now. There have been dozens of reviews regarding how it shaves, blade hacks and other forms of customizations, but not much on head shaving.

One morning Joe Borrelli found himself looking at his razors, picked up his OneBlade and the idea popped into his mind: “Why not head shave with this?” He went to the internet to see if anyone else had a video or article regarding this subject and after a few minutes came up empty handed.

So he decided to try it for himself.

Who Are You Accountable To With Your Shaves?

Back in 2019 I wrote about How To Manage Variables For A Better Shave. That included a Google Spreadsheet you can (still!) copy and use to keep track of your shaves.

But I didn't think of taking "accountability" into the subject until now (thanks to an email from a member of this list, Dave!). Thinking on it though, I sort of do have a form of accountability--my wife. She adores caressing my freshly-shaven face and giving her approval (or not...) and always asks what I used. Talk about motivation for keeping track of my best shaves....

Do You Have A Blog Or Website?

I've been working on Sharpologist full-time since 2015 and I've learned a few things about running a blog/website: server hosting, website software, social media connections, etc. I'm thinking about sharing some of my experience with anyone on this list who might be interested, with a separate email newsletter.

If you would like to receive an occasional email from me about running a blog or website, click/tap here to express your interest and (optionally) to leave a question you think I can help you with (google form).

(Even if you don't have a blog/website, feel free to forward this email to someone who does!)
