This is Mark Szorady's "Monday Morning Mailbag" YouTube show in podcast form.
Hello to all viewers and listeners. On the Monday Morning Mailbag, we discuss the Traditional Wet Shave and all the gear and processes that accompany it. You'll hear about new and vintage safety razors, shave brushes, shave soaps and creams, etc. Viewers send in shaving tips and very helpful comments. I also hope to drop in some extra content from time to time that I'll be calling "Second Cup." So, grab a cup of coffee and join us every Monday and stay tuned for that Second Cup.
October’s settling in, and the mornings are getting that crisp, frosty edge — the kind where you really appreciate a hot cup of coffee and a good shave to start the day. In today’s Second Cup, we’re talking cool shaves, some sharp new gear that just landed, and the latest on the giveaway. It’s the perfect mix of fall weather, warm conversation, and classic wet‑shaving camaraderie. Grab your mug and enjoy the show.

10 12 2026 Second Cup Podcast
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Second Cup. Fall is really settling in now — the colors changing, those warm days followed by cool nights, and that first cup of hot coffee that just feels perfect this time of year. It’s also a great season for shaving: richer scents, warmer lathers… or in my case, the lack of a warm lather and hot water — stay tuned for that story. This is the time when artisans start rolling out their autumn releases, and we’ve got some terrific new shave gear to talk about today. And with Halloween right around the corner, I’ve got a movie pick that reflects the season beautifully — colorful, heartfelt, and absolutely worth revisiting. Before we get to all that, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone ‘Up Over’ in Canada, and Happy Columbus Day to folks here in the United States.
