This Father’s Day, I received a wonderful present from Frannie: a new Mach 3 razor from AA Wood.

Made in Tennessee by Del Jensen, a retiree with a passion for turning exotic woods, it’s a true thing of beauty, with a nice heft and a perfect shape. I very rarely sport facial hair (except for the few days following a long backpacking or mountain climbing trip) so I recognize the value of a good razor.

Del’s operation is a self-described one man shop, and he sells his very reasonably priced wares on Etsy.
