Thread: The American shaver

The idea of this thread is American alternatives to imported shaving equipment are often of superior quality and less expensive. With so much emphasis on solingen germany, many people seem to overlook some of the best razors ever made, our domestic 1920s Chicago blades. And we have many good American soaps and brushes.
Heres my everyday set up.
For a strop I use a Whipped Dog straights poor man strop, its english bridle leather
It costs less than $20
my blade is this http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...tz-clutto.html a custom Strutz and Clutto with American grown Cedar scales.
My soap is also domestic, Mama Bears shaving soap from Wisconsin.
My brush is my only imported item of my everyday shaving set up ( i have german razors as well that i use on occasion) it is a Vie Long white horse hair with the synthetic marble/red handle.
