A 7 o' clock shave and Yaqi Katana SE 

I was just keeping you on your toes, Mike 😉 I'm definitely improving and have some more physio today, which will help. I always hurt like heck after my treatment. Take care, my friend.

Cheers John. The head was so cheap I couldn't leave it there! I'll have a proper look at it soon. I hope you are well, mate. Cheers.

Thanks Minty. 👍

Thanks Jeffrey. I have a different tablet, and the light quality is completely different. I've found it looks okay in the natural but, if the sun comes out - I'm shaving blind! Cheers. Take care.

Thank you, Randall. I'll get there. Have a good week.

Thanks mate. I need a little more practice on that one.

Thanks 👍 It's a week further along now, Lee. Sorry I seem to have missed this, until now. I'm still being very careful. I have some pain but it is minor. I'm at that point where I'm being careful not to re-injure myself.

Yes, much improved thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the shave. Cheers

Thank you, Roy. Have a good week 👍

Thank you, Samuel. Be well.

That's hilarious 😂 There might be some crossover with shaving. Today, in the garden, I'll be trimming my bush 😊

Hi Chris. They are quite interesting and although I'm glad I didn't purchase it, I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to use one. I wondered what they were like. My back is mending, thank you. Take care.

They were cheap! Nice buy. Yes, Boti recommended buying a 24mm handle with a 23mm knot, which I did but normally I would buy a 22mm knot. We'll have to see how it fits!

I have not a clue! I didn't know drunken sailor had a shaving verse. In fact that I only know the verse. I'm resisting looking up the lyrics, as I would drive myself slowly insane singing them 😂

@@FriendshipShaving I actually wrote and officially copyrighted a song about shaving titled SHAVIN' WHERE THE YARROW GROWS. 😀

Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow 😊 I hope you have a good week, mate. Cheers.

I obviously didn't quite have the Yaqi razor quite right. It was the first time I've shaved with it, so I expect another shave or two will see me right. It's good to read that you enjoy it so much. I'll look forward to my next shave. Cheers.

I guess it's just down to personal preference. I wonder if the Super Thin blades might not be held firmly during the shave.

Ah, well. What can I say, David. I like to spoil you occasionally but not too often 😉 Gillette don't give a care do they? So long as make a lot of money, and the share holders die rich, they really don't give a bollocks about the Earth or plastic use. can you tell the painkillers are wearing off? 😃 They seem to be for the Asian market, as far as I can tell. I agree yaqi are doing a lot right. I can't wait for their adjustable.

I suppose the Alum is all the same stuff, no matter where you use it. It is very useful in that cylinder. I will experiment some more with the Yaqi SE. That was the very first time I've used it and perhaps it will just take a little bit of practice. The few fellows that have commented here all seem to like it. I'll look forward to more shaves with it.

Good day. Thank you for providing the correct information about using alum as a deodorant; I have pinned this comment to the top, so everyone might see it. I would like to clarify that I personally do not use that Alum stick on my face! 😕 That one is solely for my armpits. I do hope that no-one would use the same piece of Alum for both face and armpits! Just in case: Guys - don't do it. It's nasty!

I really like the 7 o' clock black blades, Tony. They're one of favourite. I find them to be smooth and comfortable. I think they are the best ones from the 7 o'clock range. I hope you like them. Cheers.

That's too good 😃 It'll outlast the house.

Thank you, David. You are very kind indeed. Take care yourself. All the best.

Yeah, it is a bit rubbish really. I prefer the old Wilkinson Sword Classic, as far as plastic razors go it's much better quality.

Thank you, Sven. It seems a strange design to have such a week spot on the razor but I don't think they would have thought about very much. I'm glad you like your Hawk. I will be testing my Yaqi SE some more. I'm really unsure about it, at the moment. Enjoy your week, mate

I'll be trying it again, Lee. It was an odd third pass and that bit on top lip was really quite uncomfortable while on my neck, it was okay. Practice needed.

I've shaved with that one, on video. I think that is a really good razor and I do like it with the German Wilkinson Sword blades. Like you, it's not my best razor but I do get a good shave with it. It suits me and for £5, if I was really short of money that would last ten years! I'd like to see a metal version of that razor from Wilkinson Sword.

At the moment, I just having a massage to release the tension in the muscles. It has allowed me to straighten up. It kind of hurts while she's doing it so, no snoozing for me. Gradually, I'll get back to once a month, just to keep me ticking over.

I think nearly everything is made in China, no matter who is selling it. I think successive British governments chose to promote a service economy rather than a manufacturing economy and China filled the gap. Anyway - a bit of politics. That'll kill a shaving channel 😯 I'm glad you enjoyed the shave and thanks for the well wishes. Take care, mate 👍

I really do like the Mokka. The knot is super soft and works well if you bowl or face lather. I've discovered I like the hexagonal base. It's very good to hold. It felt a little chunky at first, in my small hands, but I love it.

Hi Trevor, it was a Yaqi handle that I already had. I bought the SE head as they had sold out of the whole razor on Aliexpress.

I really like the original (plastic polymer) WS Classic; there's a video somewhere. It gives me a terrific shave especially with the German WS blades which I like. I believe the Super Slim Twist might havd a Gillette head that was used right back in the 1950's on some of there British razors. I had a Slim Twist and it was a great shave. I gave it away and then regretted it 😕

Friendship Shaving Thank you for your positive supporting opinion, which I don't regret buying them, though inexpensive. Have a great day!

You're very welcome. Have a good week and I hope the sun is shining in South Korea. 👍

Ha. Who, me? No. 😃 Now, a grabber is a good idea. Imagine if you could have one put on the ceiling, like an arcade game. I'd be in the den for hours.

Yes, although my stomach is rolling a bit this evening! I managed without painkillers today 😃 So, I'm definitely improving a lot. It wasn't the most comfortable day but not bad, mate. I hope you have had a good one. Be well.

So, I can't interest you in an orange one, then? 😃 It did the job, for me, as you saw but it definitely wasn't my best shave. They must sell a lot of them, one assumes.

It seems the plastic razor is mostly sold in India. I have seen a few on eBay, but I don't know what country you are situated, so it may be better for you to search yourself, Julio.

Hi Henry. It's not for me as I find it uncomfortable but lots of people do enjoy it. I'm using it it my next video, so you'll get a better idea. Cheers.👍

@@FriendshipShaving thank you my friend

All the best, Henry

Hey Dan. I hope you and yours are well. Are you still making videos, my friend? I haven't seen a new one for a little while. Take care, buddy.

@@FriendshipShaving I hvent made a video in months. Just rebuilt the entire front of my house. The roofers should be here within the week to put a nice new rooof on the house. Busy busy busy!

I'm glad you're okay. You have been busy! That's a slight understatement, isn't it? I hope the weather stays good for you to get the roof on. Take care, pal. 👍

Good day, Rajan. Thank you very much for your kind offer. It is very nice of you to think of me but I am trying not to use plastic razors, so I will pass, this time. Andrew, sent me the 7 o'clock razor as a surprise; I didn't know what he was sending to me. I am trying very hard to cut down on my plastic use because, in this country, plastic waste is often shipped to other countries for disposal. Sometimes it us disposed of at sea. Other times it sits in huge dumps where microplasticso particles can contaminate the water supply. In Malaysia, parts of jungle are cleared to be used as a dump. I think it is really wrong, so I am trying get to do my bit to help the World. I have been looking at the amount of razor blades that are produced in India. There are a lot. I was looking at the company Lord. They make a lot and it started me wondering what the difference is between some of their blades and the way they are finished. For example: The difference between stainless and super stainless. It interests me greatly. I think think I will have to write. Thanks again, Rajan. You were very kind. Best regards Mark.

@@FriendshipShaving That's really great.

Hi Alan. I'm doing okay, thank you. I really liked the Vetiver soap from MdC, which is the only Vetiver scent I've tried. I'll have to think about trying get some others. I've yet to use those Tiger blades but I do like the Feather blades especially in a milder razor. They are really nice in my Tech or my R89. Your AS-D2 looks smashing. 👍 All the best, mate. Take care.

@@FriendshipShaving HI Mark thanks for reply well my Feather AS-D2 was sitting in a box for sometime and decided to make a use of out it and since I figured a good blade in it like Tiger very Smooth and irritation free to give it a try and it works. However the angle I didn't work on it I do as I go Mark and I got good shaves.. Razor Head reminds me of Gillete Tech very nice and exceptionally built. How many uses of feather do you get.. Take care Alan H

I usually keep using a blade guntil it gets uncomfortable and then swap it out. Probably seven/eight shaves. Apparently, you can shave through that discomfort. Some people think it's the coating coming off the blade and you can then keep using them. Some people really get a lot of shaves from a blade.

Friendship Shaving Hi Mark Thanks for the info I usually keep blades 3-4 shaves I’ll try longer to test.. Also I juts shaved today wow I truly love me as-d2 with the right blade it’s truly outstanding instrument.. Alan H
