  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock GOAT
  • Blade: Shaverboy (1)
  • Lather: Wet Shaving Products - Black Amber Vanille - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Night Before - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm

I decided to whip out one of the "weird" blades that I somehow have. Shaverboy came on the scene 3 or 4 years ago, sending all of the wetshaving YouTube influencers at the time free blades to use in their videos. I think I got some with a Razor Company order, maybe as a free sample? Or maybe I actually paid money for them? With a stupid name and a silly logo, I'm not in their demographic.

I remember emailing the Shaverboy company asking about where they are made (the packaging, website, etc. made no mention of it). They responded that they are proudly made in China to their exacting specificiations.

Anyway, how do they shave? Most people would call them "dull", or "horrible", or "garbage", but I'll be nice and just call them "mild". The shave I got is super smooth but I give all credit to the razor. The blade was definitely tuggy, but I can't argue with the results.
