razors

Hey Lackers! This week Eric and Brad discuss some concepts by George Mack. He calls them, "The most useful razors and rules I've found". Very thought-provoking, even for us. You can hear George talk about them on his podcast, George Mack. Thanks for hitting rock bottom with us!

This week, we are joined by StraightioLab darling Sydnee Washington who takes us on a roller coaster ride of intellectual rigor. We talk dating shows, and surprisingly find ways to make them even more problematic, exploitative, and legally questionable than they already are. Plus, we pit going to law school against going viral on TikTok, we get upstaged by a haunted razor, and George unloads traumus both of chosen and not-chosen family. Now we can finally all heal.

These are two people very enthusiastic about what they do, be it creating unique, long-lasting aftershaves that blur the line between a cooling splash and a cologne or rebooting a classic safety razor or scent from the past, this is what they were put on God's green earth to do, he said.

Fran and Douglas have personally curated what they believe to be one of the most original, online traditional shave boutiques out there and are super excited to share their handpicked wares and life transforming creations with you. If you have any questions, drop them a line, they are always there to help!

“I like to say that I make the world's finest razors pure and simple. I hand-turn wooden razor handles that fit modern cartridges like Gillette, Schick, and double edge blades. I'm still trying to get in Dollar Shave Club in Harry's but I'm so small, they don't know I exist yet. But one day, that's a good goal to have. I've always been a woodworker. More as a hobby. I was a social worker for 10 years in Maryland and I would come home every night stressed out from doing paperwork and meetings all day. The only way I could decompress was to go into my workshop in the basement, a very small basement and I started off doing the typical tables, shelves, things like that. Then I found woodturning and I absolutely loved it. I started making bowls, pins, various spindle things. I made some Harry Potter ones for my nieces. It's just relaxing. It's kind of an intuitive tool. I made a razor because I was looking for a double edge razor and I couldn't find one except in an antique store and they were usually pitted and in bad shape. I just couldn't find one. So I said you know what, I'm going to turn a wooden handle on a lathe and I'm going to somehow attach a double edge blade to it and I figured it out. I made one a friend saw it said “Will you make me one?” and my hobby turned into a very, very part-time business,” says Dan Janssen, Owner, and Founder of Imperium Shaving.

Dan has accomplished many things in his career including his time as a social worker but the meat of his career is when he started this shaving business. It started as selling razors here and there to his friends and now he is selling them all over the nation. People are looking for unique options when buying local and razors is certainly a unique craft.
