Barrister & Mann soap is made in New York, and the founder of the company says he splits his time between New York and Massachusetts. Double whammy!
I picked Promises because I bought a tub of it yesterday when it was on sale for $5. Now that I’ve spent money on it, the sample smells better. Funny how that works.
Woodshop is SO good. Get some.
I started on setting 4 with the Merkur Futur, and decided that anything above setting 3 and it ceases to be a “safety” razor. I turned it down to setting 1 for the final pass. It’s funny to me that such an expensive razor is made out of a cheap material like zamac, but I think a razor of this design would simply be way too expensive using any other metal.
Yeah, the Futur is a funny combination of quality and shabbiness😅
I found it quite challenging in the beginning when I was new to DE razors, bit then my perception completely switched and it’s a really fun razor now for me. Chattery, but delivering great shaves

Yes, very good shaves. I just have to keep it on the lower settings. It’s actually sort of mild on setting 1.
