Most Used Gear for 2021

2021 will forever be known as the year I fell HARD into researching & acquiring Antique and Vintage Star, Ever Ready and Gem style razors as well as the obscure ones. Been a FUN year !!

And it's been great fun seeing all the vintage gear, reading your reviews, and enjoying your fun videos!

Thanks Eric

2021 was a pretty wild year in the "hobby" for me. I purchased and tried a lot of different stuff. Maybe I'll dial it back a hair in 22'... or maybe I won't!

Going off memory here, but I'm pretty sure these are the items I used the most in 2021:

Razors; Yates, Timeless
Brushes:  Trotter Handcrafts of course ... but I also used my Brad Sears brushes a lot too
Soap: Tabac, McDuff's
Aftershaves:  Floid, 4711, McDuff's

Greatest gear discoveries in 2021:

Tatara Nodachi Razor
McDuff's Soaps & Aftershaves
Kai DE Blades (re-discovery)

MacDuff's was a great new find for me as well!  I ended up trying several (at least 8) new-to-me soaps last year.  Most worked out really well.  But because of the soap base or the scent, a couple will see the BST or the trash can in the coming months

I went through a SE and GEM phase a few years ago.  I've kept several because I like to use them every now and then.  But over the past couple years, I've really settled in on my razor preference

Keep in mind NO ONE LIKES A QUITTER….. dialing back is not the type of language we use here at DFS, see that report button?

McDuff’s is a NEW crossroad for me 

2022 will bring me down the Trotter Handcrafts rabbit hole.  I’ve been watching it evolve and refine.

Brand most used - Stirling, followed closely by 345 and PAA.
Razor - Stirling ST
Blade - Perma-Sharp Super
Brush - Wild West Brush Works with Tuxedo Knot

I'd love to have you as a customer Rob ExtraProtein 

I can see you rocking a Trotter with the awesome, new T1 Manchurian knot. The next shipment of knots is arriving on Monday (according to the tracking info). I believe I currently have 5 DFS'er on the waitlist for one.
