What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving (And Grooming!)
The Best Shave Soap
Sharpologist's "best shaving soap" article from 2014 has consistently been one of the most-popular on the site (and with search engines). What is the best men's shaving soap now?
This update includes a number of new artisans, and with all the truly excellent products on the market right now I had to increase the list from ten to 12 (and I also increased the "honorable mentions" list from ten to 12)!

Pomade
Pomade was Andy's ("The Opinionated Brit") first hobby. It is also a subjective one. Like many wet shaving products, what works for him may not work for you.
If someone said pomade many would automatically associate it with the movie Grease and the popular pompadour haircut of the era. If that is your idea of what pomade is and the style it is associated with you're not wrong, but there is a lot more to the word these days.

The Wet Shaving Business?
Joe Borrelli has been watching the market closely and has analyzed the wet shaving market for 2021.
Prices are up for vintage razors, especially vintage Gillette razors. And "modern" razor models that are no longer produced (think Weber, LASSC, Raw Shaving) are seeing significant premiums on the secondary market.
On the other hand, high-end razors that are still in production are seeing declines in secondary market value.
