Lodge 49 Shave

Today I'm using Lodge 49. The title is derived from a TV series on AMC starring Wyatt Russell. Although the series was met with positive reviews, AMC canceled the series after its second season due to low ratings. Such a shame because the audience is left hanging, and we will never know what happened.

But what I do know is this shave was fantastic, the lather was thick and creamy, it got right into the beard and allowed for my razor to have an irritation-free shave. Plenty of slickness and glide. This ended with a post-shave feel that was very satisfying

If you have Prime Video, I recommend the Movie called Campanion.

1k Light Blue Two Pass Shave

Today, we use our 1K Membership shaving soap, now rebranded as the 1K Light Blue, with a new name and label, same amazing scent. We have only a few left in white tubes, so now is the time.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue has been one of my favorite scents for some time, and when we finally reached 1K members in our Facebook group, that was the scent I used to celebrate the milestone. Now I get to use it for this shave, and if you haven't tried it, let me say you're missing something.

I also used the 1K aftershave, and when I woke up the next morning, I could still enjoy the scent. Not too many aftershaves do that, but this one did.

P.S. - Don't miss the annual two-pass shave in this video (Only Done Once a Year)

Vintage Barbershop Shave

For Christmas week, I’m planning to use our Vintage Barber Shop. If you haven’t tried Wet The Face before, I think you’ll really enjoy this one! Many people find it refreshing and a unique experience.

The scent is designed to transport you back to a barbershop chair from the past, giving you that classic barbershop shave we all love.

Just like all Wet The Face shaving soaps, this one is a lather machine and gets right into your beard with great coverage. The slickness and glide are amazing, making for irritation-free shaves. Plus, the post-shave feel is fantastic, and it’s even better when you finish with the same scent aftershave splash.

Captain's Choice Eucalyptus

Today I'll be using Eucalyptus from Captain's Choice. I just felt like using this again, and it was a wonderful shave with plenty of Eucalyptus, but it does tend to remind me of Vicks VapoRub, but in a good way.

The soap held up after many years dormant and snapped right back into action after being placed in the shaving bowl. A little warm water and my favorite brush produced an amazing amount of lather. This lather got right onto the beard, and the feeling of this Eucalyptus has to be experienced. I was able to use my Occam's Razor without fear of irritation. The slickness and glide are all good, and the post-shave feel spectacular.

I did, however, use Wet The Face aftershave, Mr. Warlock. I think nothing beats it.

Shaving With The Quiet Man - Tallow

Today I'm using The Quiet Man shaving soap, the tallow version. It's been getting a lot of buzz lately; in fact, all the tallow soaps we sell are selling more than ever before. We use a tallow source here on Long Island. When our batch is ready, they call, and we pick it up, not too far away from us, which saves us on shipping costs.

When I'm creating tallow soaps, the tell is in the melted oils. It has a kind of shimmer to it that no other oil provides. You can almost see how slick this is going to be. I personally feel our vegan soaps are just as slick as our tallow versions, but I need to give customers what they want, which is why we created the tallow line. We currently have 4 soaps in Tallow, The Quiet Man, Vintage Barbershop, Vanilla Tobacco, and Don's Vetiver. We are going to be adding to the line this year, so watch out for that in the near future.

Palmolive Stick Shave

Today I picked Palmolive Shaving stick because I need to get my shave on fast. No bowl lather, just wet the face, applied the stick to my face, then wet the brush and did a face lather. In seconds, I had an amazing amount of lather, and it just kept growing. Wonderful stuff, this stick. So glad I am able to try this amazing (discontinued, not sure) product with the help of a subscriber who sent it to me.

The lather was thick and creamy and got right into the beard. I was able to use my single-edge Occam's Razor without any nicks or cuts; the Post-shave feel was fantastic. All in all, it was a wonderful shave with no issues, and that's what we like to see.

Shaving With Respect

When I started my Wet Shaving journey many years ago, I came upon a company called Soap Commander. I had no idea what I was looking for, but I knew I wanted to try it. I wanted to shave like my dad used to do with a DE razor. So I ordered a sample package from Soap Commander and an R89Grande DE razor and blade sample package from Amazon. The soap came to me first, and I remember being very excited to show my friend Tom, whom I had called into my office to show him all the stuff. I gave him a few samples to try.

This was the beginning, and now, many years later, I have started my own company, Wet The Face, and have my own line of products. Needless to say, I had forgotten about my first shaving soaps, so I'm here showing some respect.

Respect is a delightful combination of lime and patchouli, which I bloomed for approximately two to five minutes, due to its slightly drying out over the years. The loading of the brush was easy, and the lather this soap produced was amazing. It got right into the beard and provided great coverage. The slickness and glide were also just as good, along with a wonderful post-shave feel.

If you're looking for something you can count on, then Soap Commander is your best bet.
