Movember is approaching, are you ready?

October 25, 2013 0


As of this writing, there are:

60 days until Christmas
34 days until Thanksgiving
6 Days until Halloween
... and 7 Days until Movember.  

Are you ready?

Movember is a time grow a moustache (a.k.a “Mo”) through month of November in order bring awareness to Men’s Health issues (Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Mental Health Issues). Check out the video from the official Movember YouTube channel for more on the cause:


Of course, Movember shouldn't be a time to let all the facial hair go nuts -  as if to go for that Tom Hanks in Castaway look.  Movember is a time moustaches.  And part of the rules are no beards or no goatees during the month. 

Cultivating a nicely groomed stache is an art form.  Check out the video from the Made Man YouTube Channel where Nick Offerman offers a moustache growing advice:


So, are you ready for Movember? Are you going to be a Mo Bro?  Leave a comment below and tell us what you use to keep that Mo neat and tidy for the month. We’d love to hear about it.

Also, if have a My Mo Space Page that you’d like to share, please feel free to write it in the comment section below.

Found a Gillette Tech Razor, Ranger Model

October 13, 2013 0
The owner of a company I used to work for used to love to collect old dentistry tools and equipment.  At the time I fashioned myself as a ‘computer guy’ so I was always interested in the latest technologies that were emerging.  So, while fascinated, I never quite understood the interest in the collection of old dentistry stuff especially when some really neat computerized tools were making their way into many dental practices.  Now that I’m older, I suppose I can understand the fascination.

Recently I’ve come into possession of a “vintage” razor.   It appears to be a Gillette Tech Razor, Ranger Model --- which there’s a very informative Thread at Badger &Blade  on its history.


Gillette Tech Razor with Manual
The highlights are that the Gillette Ranger Model Tech Razor is a Twist-to-open (TTO) style razor produced in 1941.  Gillette shifted from producing these Ranger Models to the 3 piece Tech razor during WWII … which (correct me if I am wrong) I hear are quite the find.


I am surprised at the condition of it considering it is over 70 years old.  It looks hardly used and the instruction booklet looks like it has been barely touched.  I am a bit upset that the blade box is gone as I would have loved that in the collection. But I think that it’s still a pretty nice keepsake.
Razor Case, love the old style lettering


The Gillette Ranger is hardly a valuable collector’s item.  Nevertheless, it’s a piece of history in which I’m very happy to have found.  Even though we’ve come long way in shaving technology, sometimes it’s simply hard to beat tradition, and I suppose that’s what this represents.

DomeCare Solutions: Anti-Aging Products for Men Who Shave Their Head

October 02, 2013 0

The line of products designed for head shaving looks rather narrow.  HeadBlade always comes to mind but there are a handful of other products that are intended for the head shaver.  I've also seen a couple razorless hair removal creams too. 
  
DomeCare Solutions
A fairly new entrant to the fold is DomeCare Solutions who designed a line of anti-aging products for the man who shaves his head.  DomeCare Solutions' products are gentle, fragrance free, and free from coloring agents and irritants.  We're happy to announce that the DomeCare Solutions Dome Shave Gel and Dome Relief Calming & Hydrating Splash is now available at TheShavingEdge.com

Dome Shave Gel is a lush gel that aids in a close and comfortable head shave. The thick texture creates a protective layer between your skin and razor, helping to protect against nicks, cuts, and razor burn. Emollients, skin-identical ingredients, and skin conditioning agents hydrate and help skin lock in its natural moisture resulting in a smooth and soft dome.

The Dome Relief Calming and Hydrating Splash is a soothing post head-shave liquid that calms the skin while anti-irritants, skin-healing agents, and antioxidants help the skin to retain its natural moisture balance, stimulate collagen production, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

So, if you're like me and staring down the barrel of ... (well, age is just a number isn't it?) … and shopping around for an anti-aging line of grooming products for a bald head, the stop by TheShavingEdge.com and check out DomeCare Solutions … Anti-aging grooming products for men who shave their heads.
