What’s the Deal WIth Facebook?

 

  • Recently we’ve noticed some atomicity in facebook posts regarding certain feuds in the wet shaving world.
  • These “feuds” were thought to be harmless but now it seems to be getting serious.
  • While we love wet shaving and we know you do to we hope these conflicts are resolved peacefully by the affected parties.
  • Let’s reunite and remember we represent one of the greatest communities out there!!
