Monday Morning Mailbag — 05/25/2026 Memorial Day Edition

It’s time for another Monday Morning Mailbag — the Memorial Day edition for 05/25/2026. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we update you on new wet‑shaving gear, shaving tips, Refill comments, and other news from around the traditional shaving community. Today marks the unofficial start of summer here in the United States, but it’s also a solemn and meaningful holiday. We pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation and in defense of our freedom. Please take a moment today to remember those brave men and women. === Topics: "30 degrees, a light touch, let the razor do all the work, gentlemen."
