But for those of us it is aimed at, it is an absolute must buy. Traditional wet shaving—that is, shaving with a safety razor or straight razor along with lather built from soap with a brush—it is an increasingly popular hobby as people try to avoid the high cost of cartridge razors. For those of us who enjoy this hobby, this app allows us to build a list of all our razors, soaps, brushes, etc. But if that’s all this app did—or, if that’s all this hobby was about—this app could probably be replaced by a hundred others not specifically tied to one hobby. But where this app shines is in the creation of SOTDs. SOTDs, or Shaves Of The Day, is a standardized format that us true sickos in this hobby use to post our daily shaves to /r/WetShaving and other online hobby forums. What’s cool is this app then saves each SOTD it generates and keeps statistics on how many times you use the various parts of your collection. If that wasn’t enough for the person truly deep into this hobby, this app has been helpful to a lot of people during /r/WetShaving’s annual Lather Games, a month-long contest that has been called the Shaving Olympics. At least as of this writing, the format used by this app to generate SOTDs is the proper format for the Lather Games (note: while this may be true today it may not be tomorrow; always confirm your Lather Games post adheres to the posted rules). Another thing this app has going for it is an awesome developer. The dev is very responsive to emails and has been incredibly willing to make changes to the app based on feedback from the community. So if you are so deep into the traditional wet shaving hobby that you need an app to track everything and help you prepare posts for the shaving Olympics, this is the app for you. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-11-11, version 3.2.3* This app does everything I need to maintain my shaves of the day. My favorite being the ability to make an automatic SOTD photo to share to forums, blogs etc. ACES ### 5/5 — Shave Den App review *2024-09-23, version 3.2.1* Great app, easy to log all of my soaps, aftershaves, and razors to keep track off everything. Quick and easy log of daily shave. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Shave Den App review *2024-09-15* Great app, easy to log all of my soaps, aftershaves, and razors to keep track off everything. Quick and easy log of daily shave. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-07-07, version 3.1.0* I really like this app. I now have almost 500 shaves listed. 30 razors, 40 brushes and 100 software sets. The only thing I miss is the ability to assign a specific base plate to a razor for a shave. For example, with the Rockwell 6, but I also have different base plates for my Blackbird, my Drakkant and Vector. ### 5/5 — Great little app for managing shave equipment *2024-05-16, version 3.1.0* My Shave Den is an excellent way of tracking your shaving equipment: razors, blades, bowls, brushes, soap, and other accoutrements. Daily shaves can be logged and rated, with handy export and sharing tools. One feature I would like to see added is to have multiple razors on the same shave log, and the ability to note different shave areas. This would help accommodate head and face shavers who may use different razors for the two areas. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2024-04-15* I recently started wet shaving using DE and SE razors. Prior to finding this app I was taking notes on my phone or hand writing down what I used and what maybe worked or didn’t work so well and I didn’t have an inventory of shaving supplies that I’m starting to accumulate. My Shave Den app has made the entire process of tracking and reviewing my shaves and my hardware/software fun and easy. The first time I used it I signed up for the paid app because I knew this was worth it. I like how I can add my own pictures and the app has a list of blades to choose from and tracks what razors, blades, and products I use most with ratings. In a word this app is awesome! ### 5/5 — Love this app for wet shaving *2024-04-10* As a Newb I was typing in everything into my notepad app but with this app I was able to add photos and dates easily. Really great stuff. I have to go add more images and data about my den now. Cheers! ### 4/5 — Very good but missing strops at hardware *2024-03-01, version 3.0.0* Cool software but i want to expand hardware, software and otherware . ### 5/5 — Shave Den App review *2024-02-17, version 3.0.0* I love this app !!! It helps me keep track of my shave Gear !!!! I use it every shave !!!!! ### 4/5 — Great App *2024-02-01, version 3.0.0* I like everything about this app. However I do use an electric shaver on occasion. Adding electric shavers to the selection list (probably under blade type) would be excellent. ### 5/5 — Great Shave App!!!! *2024-01-16, version 3.0.0* I am new to wet shaving and found this on the App Store. It works like a charm fantastic way to track all of your equipment and soaps, splashes, balms, etc. Love the fact that you can export your collection to an Excel file. Really pleased with this and have feen telling all my friends who are into the hobby about it! ### 5/5 — Just fabulous *2023-05-29, version 2.7.2* What a brilliant way to track your shaves. Very well organized and intuitive app. I was so happy, so quickly, that I immediately purchased the premium subscription as a thank you to the developer. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Force to pay *2025-05-06, version 3.2.5* The app is okay, but it only lets you log 8 shaves before forcing you to buy a yearly subscription. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Loses some of my shaves sometimes *2022-11-07, version 2.4.2* I love this app but ever since the recent update it’s been losing some of my shaves and it’s really starting to annoy me. I still love this app and there’s not really an alternative so I’m not gonna replace it but i just wish they would fix the bug for now I’m giving it 2 stars ### 2/5 — MEH at best *2022-08-09, version 2.3.1* Then one thing I’d like to see improved is the den setup vs shave. When you enter anything into the den ie: razor, there is details you can enter and even add a picture but when you go to select your shave of the day, the only thing displayed is the name. It would be nice the see the picture and entered details instead of a drop down box with names. You have to take and add a separate shave of the day photos. I know the app is not expensive but definitely needs some changes or updates... ### 3/5 — Good, but has some accessibility issues with Voiceover *2026-06-28, version 3.3.2* I am a totally blind wet shaver and razor collector. I really like the app. I put the rating I did because there are some accessibility issues with button labeling and focus that make it kind of difficult to use with Voiceover on the iphone. Obviously I don't use photos so I log my razors by tactile description. It's not that the app is unusable. It just could use some accessibility help. I'd love to talk to the dev more about this. Overall, it works, it's just quirky. ### 3/5 — The Idea is good BUY *2024-07-13, version 3.1.0* Iv used this app a while now and it doesn’t record the amount of times i use an item. It states it does but it doesn’t for me. Nothing has changed in the last 6 months. It’s stating my favourite items the same as what they were 12 months ago. Something not right. But great idea if it works properly ### 3/5 — Unable to add razor or brush photos *2023-01-07, version 2.5.2* Unable to add a photos on my iPad …. Bug? App crashes to main screen every time I try to do so. 😵‍💫 ### 4/5 — Enjoying it *2025-09-24, version 3.3* I take great enjoyment from all things shaving related. This app allows me to keep track of my obsession. Great thought has gone into the various folders and sub-folders into which information can be uploaded. The blades section actually has some blades pre-loaded from which you can choose. My only suggestion is to include a cost for each item, scary though that might be for those of us bitten bug. ### 4/5 — Enjoying it *2025-04-19, version 3.2.5* I take great enjoyment from all things shaving related. This app allows me to keep track of my obsession. Great thought has gone into the various folders and sub-folders into which information can be uploaded. The blades section actually has some blades pre-loaded from which you can choose. My only suggestion is to include a cost for each item, scary though that might be for those of us bitten bug. ### 4/5 — Sehr nützliche und gut zu bedienende App *2024-11-02, version 3.2.3* Mir gefällt die App gut, sie ist einfach zu bedienen, sehr übersichtlich und mit ihr macht das Rasieren und das sammeln von Rasier Equipment noch mehr Spaß. Was ich mir wünschen würde: Bei einem adjustable Rasierer würde ich bei der täglichen Rasur gerne auch die genutzte Einstellung speichern können. Außerdem ist es unschön, dass bei Betrachtung der Daten eines Hobels die Darstellung zu groß ist und man daher nur maximal 4 Sterne der Bewertung sehen kann. ### 4/5 — Great tool heading in the right direction *2024-06-28, version 3.1.0* An extremely helpful tool. For me, it’s best feature is the ability to create automated SOTD write ups which are copied to the clipboard and can then be posted online. Two features I wish it had were 1) the abilty to change the order of how the info is listed in SOTD so that pre-shave could be on top, and 2) to have the photo included in the export to the clipboard. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must have *2025-09-18, version 3.3* If you’re a wet shaving enthusiast in possession of an ever growing supply of shaving software and hardware, this app is an absolute must. Excellent at keeping your shave den inventory up to date and keeping lots of stats of your shaves. The developer actively supports the app with periodic enhancements to improve user experience and ability to manage their wet shaving hobby. I’ve been using the app for approximately two years. I highly, highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Really great way to keep track of what you have used *2025-06-29, version 3.2.5* Only downside is it highlights how many soaps I have! ### 5/5 — Fantastic for shave den organization *2025-06-08, version 3.2.5* Got too much stuff and this does an excellent job of organizing everything. Love the roulette option for picking daily shaves. I have tried combinations of soaps, aftershave,balm and Cologne I would have never tried on my own. Love the app. ### 5/5 — I’m Enjoying this App *2025-05-28, version 3.2.5* This is a cool app for keeping track of one’s shaves. If I could make one request it would be to show the number of uses for the hardware items on the list page. On the razors, for example, I already know how aggressive each one is - it would be much more help to quickly see how often I use each one. Maybe even make that field selectable in the settings so users could choose what info is displayed. Very nice app though. ### 5/5 — Super *2025-05-27, version 3.2.5* Gefällt mir sehr gut um Ordnung in meinen Den zu bekommen. Zur Statistik wäre es toll, nicht nur 10 Einträge sondern alle Einträge zu sehen. Außerdem wäre ein detaillierter Export mit Bildern top ! ### 5/5 — A must have app for every wet shaver! *2025-05-04, version 3.2.5* This is an awesome app to keep track of shaving hardware and software. It allows easy posting of shave of the day photos! this is a must have app for every wet shaver. Thanks for this app! ### 5/5 — The Best Wet Shaving App *2025-04-24, version 3.2.5* The best west shaving app you can get. Keep track of hardware and software. And generate shave of the day easily! Well worth the price for the paid version ### 5/5 — New favorite app *2025-03-09, version 3.2.5* App has everything you could possibly need. I love tracking my inventory and being able to quantify the ridiculous amounts of stuff I buy. It's a good reminder I'll never get through it all in this lifetime. I like the randomizer feature where it picks items in inventory and tells you what to use. The shave log feature is fantastic and I love being able to export in Reddit markup. Highly recommended just get it and pay the subscription. Don't be cheap. ### 5/5 — Awesome Shave App *2025-02-09, version 3.2.3* Love this app to track all my shave gear and my shaves. I can reference which combination worked well and what didn’t. This is 21st century wet shaving at its finest. Thanks for making this app available! ### 5/5 — Nice Way to Capture My Shave Routine *2024-12-29, version 3.2.3* I was using a notebook to record my daily shaves and then I discovered My Shave Den. I really like the functionality and how it documents My Den and the daily shave info. I would like to see the ability to sort and display a specific type of item. For instance, if I only wanted to display my boar brushes or only display my bay rum soaps, then I am not sure this can be currently performed. I would like to see this in future revisions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
