Washington Post on Razors

[htownmmm]

An article on razors (and shaving-somewhat) can be found on www.washingtonpost.com.

Scroll down the page and click on the "blade appeal' link under fashion and beauty.

I wonder if the testers used proper prep,soap/cream, and a brush or just went with the goo?

BTW, how does Art of Shaving get away with those prices? Even their blades($9 for a 10 pack) are ridiculous.

That Art of Shaving razor looks just like the Merkur HD....I'm sure it is, just with the AoS name, it immediately becomes 20.00 more expensive.

I wonder if they also sell AoS blades too?

And the razor is made in Solingen,Germany.( A fool and his money.....)

Do you know anyone at the paper to get B & B website written into an article?

I was thinking of contacting the reporter to let him/her know about real shaving, err, wetshaving in the hopes of directing them to the site.

Go for it... the worse that could happen is that you (and we, I suppose) will be ignored.

I'd say contact them as well.
