Hello, B&Bers!

This week’s SOTD theme is “North America”.

Lots of crazy stuff going on in North America as of late but let’s rise above the political rhetoric and posturing and proudly show our soaps, razors, aftershaves, fragrances, scuttles, blades and any other shaving accessories that are made in North America.

Show us and tell us all about what shaving products you are using from Canada, Mexico and of course USA as well as other North American countries/territories.

Do you have a Haitian soap? A shaving brush made in Greenland? A pre-Castro Cuban razor? If so, pretty weird, but show us! Pull out that St. John’s Bay Rum cologne from the US Virgin Islands for a change. Let’s see your Wolfman, Razorock, Rockwell and Karve razors from Canada and your brushes, razors, soaps and fragrances from the USA.

The North American continent covers over 9.5M square miles, so most of you should own SOME shaving gear from this part of the globe! Nothing North American themed? Please still post a pic of your usual shaving setups. Or post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us all about it. Let’s see lots of North American themed posts this week!

As always, we encourage you to post photos of your Shave Gear of the Day regardless of the theme as sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged.

Let’s see your North American shaving gear!

Shave of the Day_03-02-2025

9.5/10 BBS

Razor - Yintal Brass Butterfly TTO Closed Comb
Blade - Suneko
Brush - Unbleached Boar
Bowl - Seventies Green Ashtray
Soap - Dudo Osun - Black African
Aftershave - Pinaud - Lilac Vegetal
Attar - Vintage Qadeem Cambodian Oud

What a lovely fuss-free joyous scrape with the brilliant Yintal - I have four in the same family and they're all excellent VFM, weighty, grippy, balanced , smooth and close for me; no nasty surprises haha !

I took my time and got to the nitty-gritty in a calm, collected fashion.

The Suneko, to me, is a World class blade; terrific value for money and as sharp and as smooth as the top five available today; also with good longevity - smashing.

First time using this brand of African Black soap - slick but not too drying; only just got the Veg - I'm a life long fan already !

I have continued my journey with the RR GC -.84p razor with a PolSilver Super Iridium blade. This blade is from a new order I placed, and the writing on the blade differs from the ones I have from years ago. However, the performance is great. Today’s brush is The Razor Company Manchurian. The brush made plenty of rich lather. The TFS soap was on its 22nd use. The shave was a perfect BBS shave. Have a great day, folks.
