I AM FROM SOLINGEN! Germany, North Rhine area! Whatever Blades you need, Scissors (for Tailors), Knifes (for your Kitchen or a Butcher), Scalpells (for Surgeons), WHATEVER you need in the realm of Cutlery, stick to "Made in Solingen". Don't succomb to Japanese or Chinese Blades. About 950 years ago Solingen Craftsmen invented (well, took over...) the Damascene Tecnique! Btw. I am bald and always looking for a good headshave here on YT. This one is GREAT! 👍🤝🤝🤝
I started on my dad's safety razor about 57 years ago. Soon moved to a double blade razor for many years and finally a March 3 about 10 years ago (when I couldn't find the double blades any longer). Thinking about going back to the safety razor.
I am a black man. I say that because our hair grows very curly. I used modern multi razors all of my youth and sufferd extreme "razor bumps" i.e. ingrown hairs. I switched to saftey and straight razors and have had ZERO bumps since. Good advive you have presented.
@@David-u2b5p My SR gives a closer shave than my DE. My SR, obviously, demands good technique more than my SR. If I'm in a bit of a hurry to get ready, I'll opt for my DE. I prefer my SR because I enjoy taking my time with the ritual of shaving. It's not a chore to me, it's a personal pleasure, like going to the spa.
@@ronizulufineartworks Thats good bro. I have the same issue like you, in your first post - ingrown hair. I have a DE = Merkur Futur but I still get ingrown hair. I am thinking its because the blades are so sharp that when I shave the hair just goes under the skin. The SR *not a shavette) are not as sharp as a DE with blades, bcs the blade on the SR are thicker. I am planning to pick up a SR because 1. The blades is not as sharp and 2. I believe it will cut the hair just above the skin without the hair going under the skin. Do you use a real SR or a SR shavette ? Do you get less ingrown hair with a SR ?
You are correct, sir! Single blade wet shaving is extremely enjoyable! I'm 72 years old and have been shavng with double edge safety razors, single edge injector razors, vintage single edge safety razors, standard straight razors and shavette straight razors for several years. I love them all! Dude... you'd have much stronger credibility if you were clean shaven. Lose the beard and join the wet shaving crowd, yourself. Good video!
Nothing feels better than a straight razor shave. Where i live we only had one barber that cleaned you up with a straight razor he has passed. No other barbers left around to carry on the tradition, the rest all use electric razors that leave stubble around your hair line above your ears and around to the back of the neck. It would be a privilege to have someone like this man shiw up in town he would take their business easily.
In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs better then Can Stuff''''''''''''' Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?
