Let's give them the wobbliest tables ever made

@princemarkokibe7661 Год назад

For Those new to the channel, these are Kirby's keywords: Well-dressed, quality, craftsmanship, tradition and proper. If you don't hear any of these words in a video made by Kirby then know a clone has taken over and hidden the real Kirby 😉 😅 🤣

@dewowwoble Год назад

I am so far from being a real gentleman. I just wear nikes sneakers and t-shirts. Moreover I've never been in London, but once I get there I will be 100% ready because I watch all your videos Kirby. Thank you so much.

Congrats to all the competitors! In college, I shined shoes at Oak Hill CC. Ever since, I've appreciated great shoe shines and care. Thanks for the video Kirby!

I was rooting for the Japanese contender. I noticed he did not use the final white buff cloth.

@michaelpsions Год назад

Maybe it would have been a good idea for the audience to see the shoes up close, Just so we could have had a greater understanding of what the real judges were looking for!! And then judge for our selves.

@lisacotton322 Год назад

That was a beautiful shine

@princemarkokibe7661 Год назад

"Hi, I am Kirby Allison, and I am back in London..." Me I am like, 'dude, did you ever leave London? Kirby needs to buy a 🏠 in London or even a nice land in Scotland 😃. I think he spends a lot of time there

@abzgreezy6230 Год назад

Kirby should of join the contest since he loves polishing his shoes 👞

@nothanks1673 Год назад

The talent these folks exhibit is astounding. For the life of me, I can't get a good quality shine on a pair of shoe ( Allen Edmonds). It keeps "flaking?" at the interior side of the toe cap (not after wearing, but during the "shining" phase). But hey, at least the removal and retry is giving me plenty of experience. It is a fun hobby watching a little TV at night. I do wonder if a better brand would make a difference.

@ramanshah7627 Год назад

Which polish are you using? I found when using drugstore shoe polish that it would flake off like this sometimes.

@nothanks1673 Год назад

@@ramanshah7627 I use all Saphir products the creme surfine polish, medaille d'or, and mirror gloss. I'm almost certain its my technique between the d'or and mirror gloss. I can't figure out how Kirby and these pros seemingly mix between them and come up with such flawless work.

I was watching Jeep rollover compilations and this got recommended to me. But, because I’m drunk I watched the whole thing. I got nothing from it and wear steel toe work boots but thank you for the video.

Just picked up a pair of stunning shoes at a Thrift store that have 'BESPOKE' printed on the insole. How can I discover the craftsman who made them? Should there be initials or name hidden somewhere? Thanks for any input.

I have a queabout suit lapels - I've noticed that many of the nicer suits i see on tv and the tube have slightly wrinkly lapel hems --- I'm guessing it is to show off the "hand stitching" If a jacket is hand stitched shouldn't the Seam be less noticeable ? Is it just a fashion choice? Thank you gentlemen

very great video! just bit of a shame that the announcer they chose have such a bad way with words, compared to what we are used to whenever Kirby expresses himself beautifully

@jkoysza1 Год назад

I agree that Kirby is very eloquent. The announcer's native language is not English. That said, he has his own Nordic eloquence.

@geniusatwrok 7 месяцев назад

Judging should be blind (so they don't know who shined the shoe they're looking at), and the voting should be blind.

Fun! You really should speak directly to the person you are interviewing and not the interpreter;)

@lisacotton322 Год назад

I noticed that none of them clean the shoe first. That’s very important to do before you put any type of polish on whether it’s a new or a well worn pair of shoes. You have to clean the shoes first.
