Shaving With Speick


Today I'm happy to be shaving with Speick a shaving stick I thought I lost. This one is a notch above Palmolive in scent but when it comes to performance they are the same both are great.

As I said in the past now that I have the skill set of using the stick I always apply it correctly and this went on with no issues. Once I started the face lather it didn't take much effort to create a wonderful thick lather that got right into the beard and provided superior slickness and glide.

The razor I started with was the MagT. The one thing about this razor is its aggressiveness. I love the way it looks and the way it holds the blade with powerful magnets I can even stand the substantial weight but the aggressiveness was just too much for me and my face. I gave it the old college try but needed to swap it out for Occam's Razor.

The Green Knight - New From Wet The Face


In a time of legend and chivalry, where knights upheld honor and valor, there was a tale that whispered through the halls of Camelot—a tale of the enigmatic Green Knight. With skin like emerald and a gaze as sharp as the edge of a finely honed blade, he emerged from the wilderness, his presence as bold and invigorating as the scent of a primeval forest after a storm.

Inspired by this timeless story, Wet The Face presents The Green Knight, a shaving soap and aftershave crafted to embody the mystique, strength, and allure of the legendary figure. Each time you lather up, you embark on a sensory journey that echoes the knight's daring challenge and the natural splendor of his woodland domain.

Shaving With Arko Stick

I knew when I went back to work it would only be a matter of time before I caught a cold 10 days to be exact. Everyone was sick before I returned and the flu was going around the office in the two months I was out. I was lucky not to get that I just got a common cold. But others were not so lucky some of them had been out close to two weeks and when they returned they looked weak.

I have the advantage of not being able to smell anything and thought this was a great time to use the Arko stick. Not a big fan of the scent and since I can't smell anything it was perfect timing.

Shaving With Shaver Heaven

I was trying to narrow down what I was going to use and opened the lid and once I caught the scent (lemons) I was hooked.

Shaver Heaven was an Australian artisan shaving soap company that gained a loyal following in the wet shaving community for its high-quality, handcrafted soaps. Known for its rich, slick lather and thoughtfully crafted scents, Shaver Heaven developed a strong reputation among traditional wet shavers.

The company was founded by Anthony Macri and operated for a few years before closing down. Despite its relatively short time in the market, Shaver Heaven left a lasting impression, with many enthusiasts still reminiscing about their favorite scents and the performance of the soaps. Some of the brand’s most beloved scents included Divine, Fresh, and Forbidden Forest.
