You're listening to Wet Shaving Talk, powered by sharpologist.com, where we're dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I'm your host, Joe Borelli, and today is Friday, November 21st, 2025. Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast here on this beautiful Friday morning.

I have to say, I apologize. I missed a show again. And reasoning being this time was I had the flu. Yeah, that's right guys.

I usually get sick. If you've listened to the podcast for the years, I usually get the flu almost every year or something goes on, but this time was bad. I couldn't talk for my voice is really scratched up up until about a few days ago. So I'm back to normal, feeling good and able to do a nice clear podcast.

So... Today on the show, I wanted to first off wish you all, all that celebrated a happy Thanksgiving here in the United States. It's coming up in a few days. For all you retail managers out there, I know it's the toughest week, one of the toughest weeks of the year, especially for grocery retailers coming up.

This is the busiest week of the year. And for those other retailers such as, you know, General Merchandise, Best Buy, Electronics, all that stuff, it's another really busy week starting on Friday of next, exactly a week from today. Wet shaving talk salutes you guys for working out there. I'm going through it too.

Nice six day work week for me and next week will be pretty crazy up until about Friday and then slows down a little bit for us and then it really just ramps up the first week of December until the end of the year. So happy Thanksgiving for you all out there, for you guys working in retail. It'll all be over soon. It's only six weeks out of the year.

That's what I like to tell everybody. The craziness for you retail managers and retail workers out there is six weeks. That's really where you are needed all hands on deck. And it's kind of crazy.

And then after that, it kind of goes back to normal. So we salute you out there. Black Friday sales are coming up, guys. What vendors are doing which?

We'll talk about that and how to stay in the loop. Best practices to get those deals that you want at the time that you want them for the price that you need, right? It's that time of the year. You want to save some money.

Get ready for the holidays. How to do it for Black Friday sales. I'll give you a few tips. And I've been noticing online a lot of people talking about razor storage and wet shaving storage.

And some people have been using a small toolbox that you can get out of Harbor Freight. Really good price. Again, it's going to be on a Black Friday sale. And I will talk a little bit about that in the show as well.

collector series for this week will be the Rolls razor. This is a razor that is very unique in sense of design and functionality. It's one of the first wet shaving razors I owned that I still cannot get a shave really that good off of. But they have a good story and a really cool mechanism that operates this razor.

We'll talk a little bit about that. And then finally, the year in review, 10 years of wet shaving. We are actually just past the 10th anniversary of when I started wet shaving with Sharp Biologist and I put a link in the show notes for something special for you guys to go over. The year in review this year will be a 10-year edition which will go through all the years of the podcast and just highlight some of the special parts and some of the events that happened through wet shaving in the last decade.

So, without further ado guys, let's get on with the show. Black Friday, Cyber Monday sales are coming through and here is what we know and here's what you need to know to get through it. So how do you stay in the loop? Well, I'd say.

To stay in the loop, you're going to have to really do some research and set yourself up for success, right? Just like work, set up for success. Meaning, a couple of tips. Stay on the lookout not only for sales every day by checking social media, but follow your favorite vendors and your favorite artisans on social media.

I know this might sound silly. Some people don't have social media or that. But if you follow them, that's pretty much the fastest way to get the news. Example, a couple vendors have been showing that they have sales coming on.

The Holy Black, I follow them. They said that they're doing a release on midnight of all their secret stashes. It's going to be the biggest release they've ever done. And they're giving us enough time to be ready for it.

You got Razor Emporium. They usually do a coupon or a sale for this time of the year. West Coast Shaving has a sale every year. They're going to post that.

What Shaving Products has already posted theirs, and so has the Shave Cave, and a lot of Amazon retailers are already starting to leak it. So the best way to do...
