Review of Mama Bear's Shaving Soap - Morning Cup Scent

I was contacted a few weeks ago about reviewing an aftershave balm called Epsilon made by Blaviar. This is an after-shave balm that is being cross marketed as a cologne as well due to it’s stronger scent. I do not have very many post shave products (at least in comparison to my soaps and razors) and was curious to try something new. I received this product for free from the manufacturer in exchange for my thoughts.

I do not profess to being very good with scents, but it is a nice scent that my wife liked as well. The marketing material describes the scent as:

“Upon first encountering our Epsilon fragrance, fresh, citrusy top notes of grapefruit, bergamot, Sicilian mandarin, and juniper make an intense, refreshing first impression. As the invigorating top notes fade away, middle notes of pepper, rosemary, and Brazilian rosewood emphasize a woody, aromatic spiciness. A distinctive blend of base notes consisting of incense, musk, and oakmoss provide the sensual backdrop to this modern, seductive composition.”

Once applied the scent is not overpowering but seemed to linger for a good few hours for myself (this will vary depending on skin type and activity). As I said above, my wife liked it so that is a big plus for me. The balm itself is advertised as Vegan / Alcohol Free / Paraben Free / Formaldehyde Free / Sulfate Free / Phthalate Free / Sodium Chloride Free. I’m not sure how important those aspect are to you, but it can’t hurt :)

I used this for a week after my morning shave with both my straight razor and safety razors. You only need a small dollop of product (less than a dime) to use for the area you shaved. The balm was non-greasy and absorbed into the skin nicely. The balm itself comes in 5 fluid ounces/150 ml of a creamy thick after-shave lotion. Retail price on this is $25 at the time of writing this article (a little high for my spending habits) but it looks like it will last quite a long time.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with with Epsilon and would have no problem buying more when my current supply runs out. If anyone is interested, I have included the ingredient list below:

Aqua, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Parfum, Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Extract, Glycerin, PEG-40 Stearate, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Allantoin, Simmondsia Chinensis Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Argania Spinosa Oil, Olea Europaea Oil, Persea Gratissima Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Roe Extract, Sorbitan Tristearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, BHT, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Limonene, Linalool.

If this product review was helpful please share it with your friends or take a look at Epsilon when you get a chance.

Have a great day and a smooth shave!

Epsilon Cologne / After-Shave Balm Product Review I was contacted a few weeks ago about reviewing an aftershave balm called Epsilon made by Blaviar.

I was contacted by Kyle Koster of Range Leather to see if I would be interested in reviewing a custom leather safety razor case that he is currently launching on Kickstarter. Naturally I said YES You can check out the Kickstarter campaign here: Travellr – Travel Bag & Razor Case and store site at the link above. At the time of this writing the Kickstarter had already reached its initial goal.

I went out of town for a long weekend and when I came back I found a nice little surprise in my mailbox. The razor case is hand stitched leather, the closure flap flips down from the top, and is fastened with a metal stud that acts as a button by going through the flap. All in all a well put together and visually appealing case.

I test fit the case with a few razors I had on hand. I tried a Gillette Fat Boy, a Lady Gillette, and the Blackland Blackbird. Using these three razors, you pretty much cover most length and width of razors available today. They all fit perfectly fine in the case with no issues.

There is not a lot else to say, as it’s a pretty straight forward product. This is a nice product that I like and would not mind having in my travel case. In the interest of full disclosure, I did not pay for this item and received it in exchange for my honest opinion. The product reviewed will be donated to the Seattle Shave Convention for the 2016 meet up and raffle.

Sharpologist also has a review of the razor case as well, check it out here.

As always, have a great day and a smooth shave!

Travellr – Razor Case Review I was contacted by Kyle Koster of Range Leather to see if I would be interested in reviewing a custom leather safety razor case that he is currently launching on Kickstarter.

I few weeks back Joe from The Clean Shave Co reached out to me to get my opinion on the safety razor and badger hair brush that he offers. Joe had only recently popped up on my radar and I was curious as to what kind of products he was offering. I gladly accepted and offered to write up a short review of my experience. To be honest, I had no idea what kind of product Joe was selling and decided to wait and see the products first hand without doing any research so I could form an unbiased opinion. **Full Disclaimer: I did not pay for this product, and received it in exchange for my opinion of the product.**

A short time later I received a package from Joe. The brush and razor arrived in one of those “book wrap” type packages and was well packed. Upon opening everything was in great shape and there was no damage to the contents. Upon opening the brush and razor boxes it became apparent that while the razor and brush are well made, they were targeted toward newer wet shavers who were willing to pay for a quality item, but didn’t want to blow the budget on a new hobby. This was right up my alley as my blog is focused on people new to the hobby. Lets get to the review!

Razor

The Clean Shave (TCS) razor is a classic three piece safety razor designed to accept double edge safety razor blades. The head is what would be considered a variant of the Edwin Jagger design. This is a tried and true design that performs well for this razor. The razor has a nice heft and weighs in at 106 grams (the handle weighs in at 70 grams ) on my kitchen scale. The handle has a knurled pattern that helps with grip while not being overly aggressive. Included was a 5 pack of the Gillette 7 O’clock DE blades.

I decided to use the included DE blades when trying out the razor. I performed my first shave with the TCS razor with two days of beard growth to see how it could handle itself. I performed a full three pass shave and I have to say that things went rather well. I had one weeper from a pimple that got mowed down, but besides that everything went very well. I performed my post shave ritual with my alum block and had no stinging sensation at all. I used the TSC razor daily for the rest of the week and came to find it to be a nice and mild razor that shaves very well.

Brush

The TCS brush is comprised of a black resin handle with a badger hair knot. The brush weighs in at 70 grams. I didn’t have anything handy to measure with, so I don’t have any dimensions for handle and loft height. The handle is solid and well finished with no casting lines or imperfections. The knot itself is, according to the packaging, made of “best badger” grade badger hair. “Best Badger” grade is a mid to low grade of badger hair found in low and mid price point brushes. I was a little hesitant about the brush due to the hit or miss nature of lower end brushes but was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed. Over the course of a week I found the brush performed well as a bowl latherer and had enough backbone to be a decent face lathering brush as well. The badger hair is fairly soft, though I did experience a few mild pokes while face lathering, but nothing that would be considered a detriment at this price point. I did not have any issues with badger hair falling out of the brush knot, though this could change with extended use.

Summary

In summary, the razor and brush are great beginners items. These are well made and if someone didn’t buy anything else would serve them well for many years. These are not for the experienced wet shaver looking to expand thier collection, but wouldn’t be a bad starter set for a friend or family member. The razor and brush are being sold on the main vendor website and on Amazon.com. //ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=whiwesh-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B013FGQ5D6&asins=B013FGQ5D6&linkId=7820899601b77c47d721a24f3c6b4523&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true //ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=whiwesh-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B01256H2R0&asins=B01256H2R0&linkId=ab8e0ac437e667b212fe2641dedb6a77&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true

Have a great day and a smooth shave!

A ways back I had the opportunity to interview the owner of Blackland Razors, Shane Swartzlander, which had an active kickstarter (see Kickstarter here ) campaign going to produce the Blackbird Safety Razor. If you like, you can check out the past interview. In the interest of full disclosure, I backed his successful Kickstarter campaign and have been very pleased with the razor.

I wanted to touch base with Shane and and see how things had gone on his end, if he would of done something different, what users are saying, plans for the future…. generally pump him for all of the information I could :)

You actually ended up having two Kickstarter campaigns, can you explain what happened and why you made the choices you did?

The short of it is that I screwed up. I made some dumb, short-sighted choices and so I decided to pull the plug early to wipe the slate clean of my errors and start anew.

Here’s the (much) longer story:

In June of 2015 I launched the first campaign. It had a $30,000 goal, featured only the black oxide finish, and each razor came in a gorgeous wooden presentation box. Early bird pricing started at $155 and the standard reward tier was $170. I had a decent little group of followers and I was confident that the campaign would be fully funded.

The campaign started off great, seemingly validating my high confidence. But then it started to falter. If there is one thing to know about Kickstarter, it’s this: momentum is everything. Once you begin to stall, if you can’t regain your steam in short order, the campaign is toast. About a week into the campaign, in an attempt to regain traction, I decided to add the raw finish as an option. Bringing that finish on was a smart move, but it was also desperate. It should have been available from the beginning.

I started to really analyze my campaign to figure out what was going wrong and, more importantly, to see if what I was doing was sustainable for the long term. That was when the biggest problem leapt out at me: I was overpriced. That awesome wooden box I was so in love with became a liability. They were expensive and drove up the price of the razor by $20. In the short term that didn’t seem so bad, but the implications for the future were huge. Kickstarter rewards are almost always cheaper than the product will be when it becomes available for retail. The idea is to incentivize backers for taking on risk, waiting for months, and being guinea pigs. So that means that the $170 backer reward needed to be discounted from the future retail price. If I had decided that backers would receive a 10% discount, the retail price would have to be $187. That’s more expensive than Above The Tie and I knew it would lead to failure.

About halfway through the 30-day campaign I decided to cancel it. I had raised $12,000 out of the $30,000 goal. It was a hard choice, but I know it was the right one for both my business and my backers. I announced to my backers and followers that I was suspending funding and that I would be back in a month with the same great product at a much cheaper price.

And that’s what I did. In the month leading up to the new campaign I brought on my wife to help redesign my campaign from scratch. We reshot some of the video, took new photos, and she completely remodeled my campaign page. The box was ditched to lower costs and the goal was reduced from $30,000 to $15,000. Early bird rewards started at $125 and the regular reward was $145, leaving some room to increase the retail price to $160.

On August 1st, the campaign went live and was funded in about a week, if I recall correctly. It went on to raise a bit more than $23,000. With some good planning and a lot of luck, the majority of rewards were shipped on time in December. A few wound up missing the deadline and went out the following month.

To this day I’m not sure why I made those short-sighted mistakes in the first campaign at all. If I had just thought about the long-term implications of my pricing model I would have surely come to a better decision. But the excitement blinded me and so onward I went with my bad choices.

It’s a little embarrassing to look back now at my old campaign, but I learned a lot from that failure. Mostly I learned that if you are honest and own up to your mistakes without sugarcoating it or blaming someone else, customers understand. I try to carry that on with my business today. I generally make fewer mistakes now, but when I do I try not to shy away from it. Instead, I take ownership of my failures and analyze what went wrong so I can prevent it from occurring in the future. I’m not sure I would have learned that without my first Kickstarter campaign.

Have you changed anything from the “original” version to the what you are currently selling?

The large majority of customers were very happy with their razors. However, some reported that the corners on the base plate were sharp and interfered with a comfortable shave. Several also encountered drag.

To address the issue of drag, I decided to offer a polished finish (more on that in a later question). Production on the second batch is about to begin and I am making changes to decrease the sharpness of the base plate. It’s a small modification to mute the corners, but the result will increase comfort for those who found it to be an annoyance. Otherwise, the Blackbird remains unchanged.

What has the feedback from the wet shaving community been like?

By and large the feedback has been very positive. Aside from the issues mentioned in the previous section, most owners seem to be really happy with their Blackbirds. There is even a forum group called the Blackland Blackbird Brotherhood with a tight group of awesome fans. It’s really amazing to see people so thrilled with something I designed and brought to life.

I see you are now offering a polished version of the Blackbird, how has that gone over?

The polished Blackbird was created to eliminate the drag that some users have experienced. For fun I decided to polish a flawed Blackbird I had lying around and I found it to be just an incredible shaver. I love all the Blackbird finishes, but the polished version has become my favorite.

Of course, I couldn’t keep something like that from my customers so I decided to make it available. Each razor is hand polished by me and it is a ton of work, but the result is absolutely worth it. This finish is pretty new, but I’ve heard only excellent reviews so far from the dozen or so owners. I anticipate that as word spreads the polished Blackbird will become increasingly popular. It is a truly great razor.

I have seen mention of an open comb design in the works. Can you give us any information?

There is an open comb in the works. It’s a pretty straightforward design and it retains the same shaving geometry of the safety bar version. It is currently in the prototyping and testing phase. My hope is that it will be made available with the third batch of Blackbirds which I anticipate will be made later on this year, likely in the summer. The open comb base plate will be available separately so Blackbird owners won’t need to buy a whole new razor to experience the open comb. I’m very excited about the open comb Blackbird. It makes an already efficient razor into a formidable tool of beard destruction.

Any plans for a single edge, injector, maybe another DE?

I have ideas and designs for both an SE and another DE. However, the reality is that I already have my hands full with the Blackbird and it will likely be quite a while until any new razor sees the light of day. You’ll have to ask me again in 2017.

I heard about a possible brush at one point?

There was a brief period where I got really overzealous about offering a brush. I’ve since tempered my enthusiasm, but I’m still actively working on it. I will be offering a brush, or at least a handle, probably sometime this year. The design compliments the Blackbird, mimicking the general shape of the razor handle. It will likely be an aluminum handle, but that could very well change.

Personal plans… go razor full time and quit the full time gig?

You bet!

A big thanks to Shane for taking the time to talk to me about where he is and how things are going. For more information on Blackbird Razors, check out the Website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. If you liked this article, or the Blackbird Razor, please share it with others.

Have a great day and a smooth shave!

Following up with Shane Swartzlander of Blackland Razors A ways back I had the opportunity to interview the owner of Blackland Razors, Shane Swartzlander, which had an active kickstarter (

I would like to introduce you all to Tom White. Tom is the man behind a possible new injector razor he designed and machined in his spare time. Thinking to share his tinkering with some forum friends he seems to have inadvertently started a small movement to try and produce his new razor. I asked Tom if he would be willing to share a few words on his new injector model and he kindly agreed.

1) On the off chance that readers don’t know who you are, please tell us a bit about yourself and how you fit into the wet shaving community?

My name is Tom White. I am 53 years old. I am married and have 2 kids. A girl and boy. Actually they are adults now. I live in the same city I grew up in.

I have been a Machinist for 36 years now. Never really wanted to do anything else. I love making stuff.

As for hobbies I only have a couple. My favorite one for the past 10 years has been making telescopes and going out to schools and Libraries. We show people the stars. I have ground and polished 6 so far. They are all reflector type telescopes. Also, a few years ago I started flying dual line and glider kites.

My newest hobby is shaving and collecting razors.

2) Can you tell the readers anything about your struggles when starting wet shaving or anything you struggle with now?

I need to clarify my wet shaving here. 3 years ago my wife bought me a Futur razor and AoS soaps and balms for my birthday. I used this setup for my shave exclusively until September of this past year. That is when I found The Shave Den Forum. I lurked around there for a week or so. Then I had a few questions so I joined.

I have always had trouble getting a nice clean shave under my jaw. Sure enough I soon had tons of very useful advice. I was able to get far better results with my DE’s, but still not to what I wanted. In mid November I purchased my first injector, a Schick E2.

My first shave with that and I was sold on injectors. It was the first shave that I did not have to struggle getting my jaw. It is still the only place that gives me trouble but a bit less as the months go by.

Bunny V1 compared to standard injectors

3) What is your current go to shave set up?

My current setup consists of obviously; Razor – My Bunny V3 or (B-V3) as most people are not to keen on Bunny for a name for a manly piece of equipment.

Brush – I am partial to Boar. I have a WhippedDog 24mm set in a handle of my own making.

Soap – I rotate between MWF and Tabac. I love the slickness of these. The smell is great too.

After Shave – I prefer the cheap stuff. VIBR, Aqua Velva and Brut. I have good stuff for when I want to make the wife happy.

4) How has the wet shaving hobby changed since you started?

As I have only been at it for 6 months. Not much has changed in the hobby. For me personally. I started off getting old Gillettes. I prefer the open combs. They are smoother shavers for me.

Once I found the injectors and SE’s I was sold on them.

5) When did you start thinking about creating your own razor?

As stated earlier I tried my first injector in mid November. I promptly bought several other models. Repeaters B and C’s. I found them to be great shaves. Also had a M that when dialed up gave me a nice shave. By mid December I was thinking about trying to make one.

I started asking some questions on the Forum trying to get useful intel. I decided I would just incorporate the best features of my stand out razors. After all it was just for me. So I thought. By January 1 of this year I made the first post of my injector.

6) What features were you looking to incorporate?

When I first decided to make the Bunny I only had a couple of things I wanted. First was an open comb. The second was a design that was easy to machine. To have as few parts as possible. I ended up with 5 components total.

As I was designing the first version V1 I realized that my comb design was easily adaptable to be adjustable. Talking with Billyfergie, he told me that moving the comb forward and back was an efficient way to make it adjustable. So I made a slight change in the head design to allow the comb adjustment.

I tried to figure out a simple way to make a true adjustable. I soon realized that I would have to make many more components to achieve that. So I settled on the interchangeable combs.

I am sure there will be more refinements to come. I am waiting to get feedback from the pass-arounds. Then I can evaluate the true relevant changes that need to be made. As everybody has their own ideas for aesthetics, that is less important than making a really good shaver.

7) What do you feel makes the Bunny Razor stand out / makes it unique?

To me it is simply my creation. I wanted to see if I could make an injector that would actually shave and not maim me. I posted the progress thinking it would make for some interesting reading nothing more. To my amazement people were actually interested in trying it.

8) What is the story behind the name Bunny razor? Is it permanent?

This is a silly story. There was a Repeater type C on Ebay. It had Bunny Kelman engraved on it. I won it so the name stuck with the repeater club. That is it.

9) What are the technical specifications of the Bunny?

Material used is 6061 Aluminum for the body and comb. Full hard spring Bronze for the springs. Stainless steel thumb screw.

Razor overall length is 109 mm

Weight is 61 grams

Razor will take the standard single blade and also the twin injector blades.

10) Would you like to give anyone in particular a shoutout or a honorable mention?

First and foremost there are 3 that stand out. I will list alphabetically by TSD names.

Billyfergie – for agreeing to be the first to test my razor. He is the SE and injector guru. His opinion and feedback was incredible.

Darkbulb – For being the driving force in getting me to to make a few to pass around.

Karl G – For being so incredibly supportive. He gave me great input for the B-V3. Also for his keen input for the possible direction to take.

The entire TSD Forum members. They all have had nothing but positive suggestions and input. The razor is really a family creation in my opinion. Thanks guys.

11) For someone new to this community, how do they get the most out of it?

That is an easy one. Do not be shy. Ask tons of questions. You will get very sound advise The people here will soon be your family.

12) Has anything surprised you about producing a product, or the response of the wet shaving community?

Yes, I am blown away by the positive responses from people. The willingness to try the razor and give feedback good or bad.

As for the razor. I am stunned as to how fast this all came together. I had my first razor done in 2 weeks. Right out of the box it did what I was hoping it would do. It was a smooth and efficient shave.

13) Where do you hope to see the Bunny Razor, and yourself, in 5 years from now?

This is a hard question. As it is in its infancy still. There is no telling what if anything will become of it. In the perfect situation I would love to be able to be making a few hundred a year. Injector users are a very small subgroup of shavers. There really is not a large market for them as I see it. It would be more of a cool hobby being able to make them. Not a new career.

As for me, maybe I will have thought of something else to try and make in the shaving world. I really don’t know. I kind of take things as they come and enjoy that.

14) What are some of the challenges you foresee in the near future as far as producing the Bunny Razor?

First there is the issue of seeing if I am legally allowed to be making these. As there are several designs of razors that I took inspiration from. The obvious can I afford to even produce them. That is a huge leap for me and my family. I need to think of them first.

15) Where can we go if we want to keep up to date on developments of the Bunny?

I am posting on 2 Fora (Forums) your choice.

The Shave Den under SE and injector. There are several threads now following the pass arounds. There are razors in the following. UK, Europe, Australia, Canada, and two in the US. One in the Western and one back East. You can also follow it on The Shaving Room This is a UK based Forum. They are the main group for the UK and European pass around.

Darkbulb started an Instagram and Twitter account for it also. There is also a great timeline on the shave blog Be Shaved.

Well, I know my interest is peaked and I am on the North America West Coast pass around list. Can’t wait to give it a go! If you have any questions about the razor, head over to Communities page and find The Shave Den forum. Some good folks who will steer you the right way.

As always, if you found this to be helpful or interesting please pass it along.

Until next time, Have a great day and a smooth shave!

A shaving brush doesn’t exfoliate your skin; A rebutal

One thing that is constant in the wet shaving world is that not everyone is going to agree on the “how” or the “why” of various aspects of our obsession hobby. To be honest, it can be both refreshing and/or aggravating depending on the topic. One such topic that bothers me, is the statement that the use of a shaving brush does NOT exfoliate your skin.
