This is a some of the shaving gear I have designed and made. The shaving brush is silver tip badger hair with a genuine cow horn handle. The razor is solid 316 stainless steel, fluted handle.
A Rooney (small, style 3 in faux ivory) shave brush and a Merkur (or DOVO) 38C ("Barberpole") double-edge safety razor with an old-fashioned, ceramic shaving scuttle custom made by Gaye Markley. Hot water is put in the larger bowl and the smaller bowl is placed inside that. It is used to keep lather warm while shaving.
Yes, this is how I shave. Each blade costs me between $0.10 and $0.50 (depending on the brand) and is good for 3 shaves or so. You can go here if you would like to find out more.
580EX II at 1/8 power off of white foam core to the left with a 480EX fired at 1/32 power off white foam core to the right for a little fill in that right side. Both triggered by Pocket Wizards.

This morning I realized that I hadn't shaved and I hadn't taken a photo, and I had to be out the door in about 30 minutes. Hence, photo.
Strobist:
1 sb600 camera right, 1/8 power (clearly a little too hot), 1/2 cto through speed grid.
1 sb600 camera left, 1/16 power, through 12'' snoot.
Triggered with Cactus V4s.
The Merkur Futur DE Razor 4-piece set
My friend recently turned my on to wet shaving. It isn't all that different from regular shaving, just a little more labor intensive. Just keep your face wet, apply shaving soap with the brush, can carefully move the double edge razor across your face. The brush will get your hairs standing up so you get the closest shave possible. It will also drastically reduce the amount of bumps and irritation. At nearly $200, this set is by no means cheap, but it will last a lifetime (the brush should last 25 years if properly maintained). Replacement blades run at a fraction of the cost of Mach 3 cartridges, so this will pay for itself over time. Just take it slow in the morning and you'll get the closest shave in your life.
This was my first trip ever to New York City, NY. My fantastic tour guide was Pastor Gary Evensen of the North Jersey United Pentecostal Church. The variety of pictures shows you what life is like in the day time. As the day progressed, it started raining. However, we walked, road trains, and navigated the subway which was an incredible experience in itself. The only thing I failed to take photos of was our meal at the incredible and famous 2nd Avenue Deli which is totally kosher.
I found out about Pasteur Pharmacy (one of the owners is Leon Tarasenko RPH, who I was able to meet on 4/7/2016) for wet shaving by Joe Davids from Queens. Joe from Queens does incredibly helpful and entertaining videos on You Tube about wet shaving. Here is the link to Joe from Queens on You Tube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9Yt6UWvXXGsaH5GyfdBMA

I already had a brush and a soap bowl, my set is almost complete, I just need to pick up a new brush and a Alum block!
