* Daily Shaver + Sensitive Skin + Relatively Frugal *

I'm Billy. I'm 54 years old, have sensitive skin, and like being clean-shaven... but I lived as a scruffian for decades. I hated shaving so much that I'd let stubble grow in for weeks at a time and then mow it all down with a clipper. I hated it, but at least I didn't get serious irritation or in-grown hairs.

Then one day, the clouds parted. A chorus of voices boomed down from the heavens. The Lords of Shaving said unto me: "One blade. No pressure. Quality lather. Deft hand. Be smart. This is the way."

I'm a simple man. When something like that happens, I pay attention. That's how I discovered that safety razors aren't that difficult to use and they help or solve all my shaving problems.

And somehow, this basic daily chore became enjoyable. Then it became a hobby. And then I created this channel... not because I'm an expert that can teach people my ways, but because doing this helps me learn more (and faster).

I just got my razor and did my first shave with it. I got more touch on my face than I have with any other type of razor, but this is my first safety razor and I think the reason is because I was putting too much pressure as if it were a cartridge.

I have this razor and it chewed up my face, tried different blades in the arsenal. I figured out the blade sticks beyond the blade gap, at that point i might as well use a straight edge razor

Got one of these, cut my face up worse than the cheapest disposables. Watched this video, followed all the tips, cut my face even worse than the first time.

Just ordered some samples from Stirling and wasn't sure how to store them, out of all the videos I've found, your technique is easily the best. Better than some aluminum tin that will rust within a week or two.

Also I don’t get the hype around Astra blades, they are way too grabby for me. Even a Feather blade which is the sharpest blade on the market, isn’t as grabby.

Hello there! I’ve been wet-shaving since 2015 and still use the Shark Super Chromes. I prefer a milder, smooth blade and I pair them in my Tatara Muramasa (adjustable safety razor) and I always do the first pass on the highest (most aggressive) setting and then drop it down to about a 2 (low setting, more aggressive than 1). I wouldn’t worry too much about a few weepers, I can shave and get zero weepers and sometimes I get a few. Nothing some Alum can’t fix! 😎

Thanks for this competent, helpful review. Based on this review I got the Weidi butterfly adjustable for $15 on Amazon. You were right on the mark on all points and I love the very mild to medium adjustable range. The length of the handle and grip works very well for me. I was impressed with the solid blade clamping to the 4 rising adjusters via the closing butterfly lid. A well designed and built mechanism to keep the blade exactly as set. I have poor sense of touch and poor fine motor dexterity from MS yet I can get a decent bloodless shave with this razor just above the mildest setting. Thanks again for the help!

I think I somehow broke my Yaqi and landed here. I’ll try fixing it again tomorrow but here’s my issue. The bottom part of the razor handle doesn’t unscrew at all. It kept toughening up over weeks and now it doesn’t open, it’s like fully stuck. Only the top pieces unscrew and come totally apart. Not sure if the razor is still fixable or it’s gone totally kaput.
@barrigas2011
@barrigas2011 6 месяцев назад
It happened to me also. That's why I saw this video. Disassemble the razor as much as you can and use some lubricant on the bottom (e.g., WD-40). I was able to unscrew the bottom this way. Cheers.

As of today 5th November 2023, here in Canada, buying VOSKHOD online is tough. AMAZON, TOPOF THE CHAIN and other online shaving stores are all sold out of these blades. I have also heard that Derby Extra are a decent replacement. I have ordered a few and look forward to trying them out :-) THanks for your informative vid :-)
@mortdigo

My DERBY extra's came (THe ones I bought are in the blue and white box). I used them in both my HENSON AL13 and Rockwell 6C and I am in love. Yes, indeed the Derby's gave a smooth shave and they are nice and mild on my skin. Grateful that I have found a replacement of my VOSKHODs. cheers.

I have a thick Portuguese beard but sensitive skin. My aim is for a comfortable shave (not baby smooth), and my Henson AL13 with the Derby Extra Super Stainless (green packet) made in Turkey is a pleasure. Of course I am combining this with Proraso pre shave green,, Proraso shaving soap green and finishing with NIVEA's sensitive after shave if I am not visiting the queen or Proraso after shave balm Green or Red if I need that extra confidence to address the queen....oh wait,long live the king.
