In addition to weaving a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan, the father in A Christmas Story shaved with Single Edged GEMs by the looks of it.

Back in May 2009 – back before I started with traditional wetshaving – I picked up a bottle of peat shampoo as a souvenir while I was in Finland.
Peat shampoo and soap has allegedly antibacterial properties, and is claimed to be good for all sorts of problems with your scalp. While I can’t comment on the former, I know that it helps with dandruff and the soreness you get after a sunburn…
The smell is not everyone’s cup of tea – it smells of old pinewood and bogs – it’s a scent I rather like adn it pares well with the TSN Brutalt Bra LE shaving soap.
Peat shampoo seems to be something of a Finnish thing – at least the ones I can find online all seems to be made in the land of a thousand lakes – but if you got scalp troubles or a sunburn, you could do a lot worse than giving peat shampoo a try.

…more like fiddling and breaking a well working, near perfect design I say – Keep It Simple Stupid and all that.
The 1904; Considered one of the highlights of early safety razors, originals still usable, still shaving great, spawned an untold number of copies, a myriad of different blades available.
The 1965 Techmatic; Considered one of the worst razors ever, can’t get replacement blades today, only lasting claim to fame is that it went to space.
The 2014 FlexBall; Apparently modern man has lost the ability to move his wrist, single source of (expensive) blades, moving parts will wear out, requires a battery, no significant improvement on other carts.
