Share your Shave of the Day

Hello again! Dry your tears, people, I just posted another "re-view" of the following products: * Schick "Type I" injector razor * Valobra shave stick * Rod Neep olive wood badger brush * Barrister and Mann "Cologne Russe" aftershave

Yes, I know, my eyebrows are a bit crazed but it's 2026, we are all doing crazy now.

Enjoy!

Welcome to another weekly reading session. I am in the last few chapters of Tiamat’s Wrath which is book 8 of James S.A. Corey “The Expanse” series. So many climaxes are happening! Twists everywhere and new world wide events shaping the story. I was pushing to finish it last week but savoring every moment!

Listening to Napalm Death…. Very hardcore…

What ya’ll reading and listening to…

Welcome to this week's sidebar submission contest!

The rules for the contest are as follows:

1) Do not submit pictures of people who have not consented to have their picture posted online. Winning images will be featured on Reddit and may be reposted on other social media platforms. If someone posts an image of you without your consent, please report it so the mods can deal with it in a timely fashion.

1) Users should submit only one (1) image of your choice to be voted on to be the sidebar for the week. Images must consist of anything related to wet shaving - razors, brushes, SOTD images, etc. In the event multiple images from a user are submitted, only the first image, or the image in the top level comment, will count.

1) Image must be Original Content (Not just some picture you found on the internet). Images taken by another photographer are allowed as long as: a. You have the photographer's permission. b. The image is connected to you in some meaningful way: e.g. It's a image of hardware you commissioned, taken by the maker, or the image is of something you made, taken by the purchaser, etc. c. We're not looking to have to verify images, so please use the honor system.

1) All properly submitted images will be entered into the Voting Thread. The Submission thread will be active for ~24 hours and will end Saturday. The vote thread will be active for 24 hrs from Saturday through Sunday. This thread is only a submission thread. Please do not hold discussion in the vote thread.

1) In the event of a tie, the bot will consult RNGesus to break the tie.

1) Submissions MUST be uploaded to imgur. Any other hosting site will be disqualified and not included in the voting thread.

1) Any submissions containing NSFW material may be removed at the discretion of the Mod Team.

1) While not required, it is suggested you submit square images in order to avoid unintended cropping.

Please feel free to respond with a comment to your entry with any background/description/detail about your entry, including gear used.

Note: The bot strongly prefers direct image links. If your link doesn't end with .jpg, there's a 50-50 chance the bot's going to choke trying to update the banner on Sunday.

May the best submission win! Good luck to all!

Welcome to your SOTD Hardware Report for June 2026

• 1,652 shave reports from 100 distinct shavers during the month of June 2026 were analyzed to produce this report, for an average of 16.5 (median 17.0) shaves per user.

Observations

• Karve completes its comeback. After just missing the podium in May, the Overlander claims third place in June, giving Karve its first podium finish since the Christopher Bradley era. Meanwhile, the Game Changer and Blackbird lock down first and second for a second straight month.

• In a return to typical form, Chisel & Hound takes first in both the handle and knot maker contests after spending May in Omega's shadow.

• Astra Greens are first again. Shocking!

• u/AdWorried2804, u/loudmusicboy, and u/pi-rho all sneak in an extra luxury shave in June to box out the other 23 daily shavers and prevent them from getting their hands on the Top Shaver trophy.

Notes & Caveats

• Most tables are row-limited to keep them readable and avoid max post length issues. If the final row is part of a tie, the entire tied group is included in the report.

• "Other" in the Blade Format table includes vintage reusable blades (including Rolls, Valet Auto Strop, and old-style lather catchers with wedge blades) as well as other antique proprietary blade formats (e.g. Enders Speed Blade)

• Blades recorded as just 'GEM' will be matched to 'Personna GEM PTFE' per guidance here

• The Personna name is going away for blades manufactured in the USA, but the majority of entries are still coming in under Personna, so I am sticking to that for the time being. Once more than 50% of the entries come in under the new names, I will reverse this and map any old Personna entries to the new name.

• The Δ vs columns show how an item has moved up or down the rankings since that month. = means no change in position, up or down arrows indicate how many positions up or down the rankings an item has moved compared to that month. n/a means the item was not present in that month.
