Welcome to The Retro Wet Shaving Podcast. For those who remember episode 52.. This one it’s just me….

And… well… this is it. This is the last one.

I said I'd know when it was time, and honestly — I know. So here we are.

I'm Dave, your host, Dyspraxic Shaver, and today it's just me again — no guests, no agenda, just a good old natter to round things off properly.

How are you doing? Hope you've been having some absolutely wonderful shaves, because you deserve them.

Grab a cuppa, get yourself comfortable in that shave den — or wherever you're listening to this — because today we're going back to the very beginning.

After a couple of episodes on hardware I thought I’d circle back to the community and a good friend of mine offered to come and have a catch up. You’ll remember him from episode 25, hailing from The Volunteer State and having a huge passion for vintage razors, it’s an honour to have him back… ladies and gentlemen Adam Smith!

Welcome to episode 56, after a brief summer break I’m back and we leave the East Coast and return on home soil with today’s guest. This razor maker like all of us started with the frustration of cartridge razors, but he wanted to change that and took the initiative of creating his very own razors. To tell us more about his story and journey, Rory from Kronos Razors joins us.
