What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving

Feather Razors And Blades?

Feather shaving products have a bit of a multiple-personality-disorder feel, with products at both ends of the scale: very high-end, precisely-engineered products, and products that are economical, but not much in between. 

Arguably the best known Feather product (for wet shavers anyway) is the legendary Feather "New Hi Stainless" razor blade. It is known far-and-wide in the wet shaving world as one of the "sharpest" double edge (DE) razor blades for shaving on the market.

But that's certainly not their only product.

A "Peachy" Shave

Grooming Dept. is an artisan (Mohammad ) with an excellent reputation in the traditional shaving community. Mohammad also has a reputation for making traditional shave soap with non-traditional ingredients. I recently purchased a jar of Chypre Peach shave soap.

I find the scent strong (a good thing for me, as my nose is notoriously insensitive) and persistent. This is definitely not your father's Chypre.

The strength of the scent kind of reminds me of a peach version of Castle Forbes Lime (Click/tap here to visit Castle Forbes, this week's email sponsor!)--a "smack you in da face" kind of response.
