You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and today is April 6th, 2026. ____________________________________________________________________________ Today on the Show:   A Razor for the Tool Lover  Battle Bros Blades Made in the USA! Parker AeroShave New Razor  RazorRock Next Level Razor  ___________________________________________________________________________ A Razor For the Tool Lover      As the son of a 40+year mechanic, I have learned the importance of quality tools. Those of you who know understand how important Snap-On tools are to mechanics.  I found it really interesting that they made a razor in the same fashion as their tools.    The Snap-on Tools Ratchet Handle Razor is a popular collectible grooming item designed to look like a standard Snap-on 1/4" soft grip ratchet. While it resembles a tool, it is a functional cartridge razor.  Key Features Design: Modeled after a 1/4" Soft Grip Ratchet with a chrome die-cast zinc alloy head. Compatibility: Uses standard Gillette Mach 3 triple-blade cartridges, making replacement blades easy to find at most retailers. Handle Colors: Available in various signature Snap-on colors, including Red, Blue, Green, Orange, and Hi-Vis Yellow. Included Accessories: Typically comes in a brand-new box with a clear plastic travel case featuring the Snap-on "S" logo and one or two replacement cartridges. ___________________________________________________________________________ Battle Bros Blades Made in the USA!      The company has transitioned its manufacturing to the US; while some older stock may be labeled as "Non-US", current offerings focus on domestic production:  Made in USA (50-Pack): These are high-performance stainless steel blades often sold as a "one-year supply". Material: Premium high-performance stainless steel. Coating: Includes a post-process with Teflon, nitrogen, chrome, and platinum for a low-friction, smooth glide. Sharpness: Sharpened to 550HV; reviewers often compare them to Astra Green or Gillette Platinum in terms of smoothness and efficiency. ____________________________________________________________________________ Parker Aeroshave New Razor       The Parker AeroShave is an ultra-lightweight, 3-piece closed comb safety razor newly introduced in 2026. CNC machined from solid 6061 aluminum, it is specifically designed for a mild, irritation-free shave, making it a strong choice for those with sensitive skin or daily shavers.    Key Features and Performance Mild but Efficient: It features a mild blade gap (0.59 mm) and a slight positive blade exposure (0.015 mm), providing a forgiving experience that remains efficient enough for light to moderate beard growth. Unique Design: The razor has a sandblasted matte silver finish with a distinct green-anodized safety bar plate, signifying its eco-friendly, all-metal construction. Nimble Maneuverability: Due to its light weight and slim head design, it is highly maneuverable, especially in tight areas like under the nose or around the chin. Precision Engineering: The handle includes a press-fitted plastic washer to prevent the metal handle from contacting and potentially scratching the baseplate.  Recently reviewed on Sharpologist   ___________________________________________________________________________ RazorRock Next Level    Key Features & Design Modular System: The razor uses a universal top cap that fits multiple base plates, allowing you to swap plates to adjust efficiency from mild to aggressive. Precision Alignment: Unlike previous models that used only center pins, the NEXT LEVEL combines center slot tabs with corner posts to lock the blade securely and eliminate chatter. Edge-to-Guard Design: Borrowing from the Lupo and Recurve models, this design offers superior visibility for detailing around sideburns or a mustache. Note: This razor is based on the WR2 design from Wolfman Razors (Confirmed by post on B&B)    ___________________________________________________________________________ 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 joe.wetshavingnews@gmail.com     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!!
