What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving
The Battle of the "Cartridge-Killer" Razors!
Charles Smith examines the strengths and drawbacks of two contenders for the world heavyweight title of "Best Cartridge-Like Shaver:" the newer Shavent razor from Germany against the long-standing Leaf razor.
The primary selling point for these multi-blade razors is they make head and face shaving for the gents a breeze, while likewise the ladies can easily and naturally pick up either and conduct their personal grooming without major difficulties. But both use half double edge razor blades.

Will Proraso Make You Sick?
Eucalyptus oil is a well-known ingredient in the wet shaving world, used in some of the most popular shaving creams and soaps.
But some new research has caused some concern in the scientific community over its use. Should you stop using shave products containing Eucalyptus? I did some digging.
