I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is March 24th, 2025. ____________________________________________________________________________   Today on the Show: 10 Years Since Big Shave West!  Is EBAY no Longer Relevant?  What Happened To Clubman and Why Does No One Talk About them Anymore?   Horse Hair Brushes: Why are they Good?  ____________________________________________________________________________ 10 Years Since The Big Shave West  The Big Shave West: Connecting the Wet Shaving Community   Has it been 10 years since the First Big Shave West?  It has…. The Big Shave West, once one of the largest wet shaving events, was founded 10 years ago.  Bringing wet shavers together for several years, The Big Shave West was held at the Old Town Shaving Company in Pasadena California.    It was a huge event and a lot of fun.  I’ll tell you my experience with it.  ____________________________________________________________________________   Is Ebay No Longer Relevant    Ebay was the only place in two if you were looking for shave gear, but with Amazon’s vast power and Etsy more affordable fees, is Ebay still relevant to the modern wet shaver?     I’ll tell you my thoughts.  ____________________________________________________________________________ What Happened to Clubman & Why doesn’t Anyone talk about them Anymore    Still readily available, I hardly hear of Clubman anymore.  Why is that? Is it due to concerns about health and talc powder?  I’ll tell you my thoughts    ____________________________________________________________________________ Horse Hair Brushes and Why They’re Good  Horse hair brushes are nothing new, but you rarely hear about them.  As a sustainable way to get natural hair ( they just comb the horse’s tail) these brushes offer similar performance to a higher end boar knot or a lower end mixed badger.   A perfect way to get a natural hair brush, with no fear of harming the animal.    ____________________________________________________________________________ Our show is powered by Sharpologist.com, “What Your Father Didn’t Teach You about Shaving”  Special Thanks to:   Mark aka Mantic 59 Most of All……….YOU!!!!   Don’t forget to check out my blog site www.shavestraightandsafe.com  for the tips and interesting wet shaving stories!   Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]     Subscribe to my You Tube Chanel for videos regarding some interesting wet shaving content.   Don’t forget to check out my book “The Modern Guide to Straight Razor Shaving” available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and at Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC.    If you’re a vendor and would like to be featured on the show please contact me!!   Next Show: 4/7/25
