Father\u2019s Day is right around the corner and you know what that means! It\u2019s time to get the perfect gift for that special wet shaving dad!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What Do You get the Wet Shaver in Your Life? Getting a gift for a wet shaver can be difficult especially if you know nothing about wet shaving, I\u2019ll help you find the right gift!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What To Do: &amp;nbsp; -First ask a few qualifying questions such as \u201cWhat brands of soap do you like\u201d or what type of razor have you been looking into? , \u201cIs there anything you\u2019ve been looking at\u201d \u201cWho is your favorite vendor? What is you favorite scent? Trust me as a wet shaver myself, any wet shaver would be happy to talk about it so be ready for a ton of information.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; -Once you get a few ideas\/brands that he likes, then it\u2019s time to do some research. Remember lots of traditional wet shaving products are not available in stores or on Amazon so give yourself at least 5-7 days to ensure it gets here by Father\u2019s Day. Research the brands mentioned and look to see if there are new items or items that he may like.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; -If possible, take a look at what he already has. (yes you may have to snoop around :) See what he has and take a few notes.&amp;nbsp; Then hit the internet and see what you can find. -If you happen to have any family heirloom razor lying around (this could be from a relative or friend then take this opportunity to gift it on Father\u2019s Day. These are some of the best gifts you can give the traditional wet shaver. It\u2019s not limited to just razors, brushes, old shaving mugs, soaps or anything wet shaving will become a prized gift.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What Not to Do: &amp;nbsp; -Do not make a blank purchase without knowing what he likes. The traditional wet shaver can be particular and if you get a random gift from stores such as marshalls, it may just end up sitting on a shelf. &amp;nbsp; -Do not buy a straight razor if he doesn\u2019t use a straight razor, especially one made in China. This happens every year.&amp;nbsp; I\u2019ll tell you why.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;      ____________________________________________________________________________ &amp;nbsp; Big Apple Release at Pasteurs  &amp;nbsp; A collaboration between Strike Gold Shave and Pasteur\u2019s Pharmacy, this scent had a mini-meet up last week with about 20 guys including the artisan to get their hands on it.
