A Budget Money Busting Shave 

Palmolive rules. One of the lowest priced yet best shaving creams out there.

Great to show that it doesn't need to cost much to start up DE shaving. Personally I consider shaving a Hobby and so I'm way down the rabbit hole, although I do have limits that I'm willing to spend on particular gear. The main thing is enjoy your shaving whether your on a budget or a hobbyist with a large collection. Keep safe mate.

Great shave! Love inexpensive razors. That's all I currently own. Manage to throw enough money at other amusements.

Hi Kevy, nice shave. The Palmolive cream is quite cheap here in germany, less than 1 € in many stores. Also some of the big drugstore chains have their own brand and these creams are even less expensive ( Balea sensitive for less than 0,70 €, and it works....) For a budget shave, I would suggest a Lord L6 or the Lord Cool. The Lord cool is completly made of plastic....It's a challange.....

Hi Kevy. The Gillette London Bridge is really good. I get 100 blades for like USD 4.50. Very cheap over here in Malaysia. I'm a big fan of these blades. I get 6-7 good shaves from each blade. Very smooth and pretty sharp. They're actually made by Gillette in China for the Philippines market. They're also commonly found in Indonesia too.

Nice job sir. Not too long ago I did a $4.00 USD shave. $1 Razor, $1 Brush $1 Cream, and $1 Aftershave. Those were retail prices as well:)

I approve! Great to see guys like yourself and Paul H switch between high end and what's more budget friendly . Oh and the background banter ain't too bad either. 😉

I hate to mention this but try some Coconut oil all natural as a pre shave. Your gonna love it. Apply about like you apply pre shave oil from anyone. If you're trying to save money for $4-5 dollars you can have a pre shave that'll last for years. Adds a nice touch and scent to any shave. I use mine on every shave. My skin loves it.

HEYO !! In the world of wet shaving I believe that there are no cheap or very expensive things, what determines a good shave is the result in each individual there is expensive equipment that simply does not provide a good result or the other way around. What I mean is let's enjoy each and every product on the shaving market !!!

I got caught up in trying different creams and soaps lol. But I'm going cheap. I got Williams Mug, Arko soap in a bowl and I just bought this Palmolive shaving cream haha. I've had really good shaves with Arko and Williams Mug. Loads of slickness and lather. Looking forward to trying Palmolive shaving cream though!

Nice shave Kevy💈💈 Nothing wrong with a simple, economical shave. To tell the truth, if you've been in this game long enough, you'll come to respect inexpensive shaves more and more. Not complicated, no decision making, just grab and go. Yeah the high end stuff is fantastic in quality, performance and scents, but a low cost shave can be pleasant as well. I love the old school post shave products especially, and Palmolive cream/stick is a favorite. Good job and great video, thanks. Enjoy!

This artisan soap seems gr..... What? Is this Palmolive!!!??

Pears soap smells nice and clean , another one is Lifebouy carbolic soap , remember my Grandad used it to get washed with in the fifties, then got a shave using a erasmic stick soap .

Brilliant Kevy and proves again that DE wet shaving does not have to be expensive - Great choices

This video is great because it might convince cartridge shavers to give safety razor shaving a try. If they watch a few how-to-shave videos, they will find that DE shaving gives more comfortable and closer shaves. Like you said, the downside is going down the wet shaving rabbit hole. For example, my new Leaf Twig SE razor is coming today. It's hard to resist new shaving products...especially if we watch shaving videos like yours. But they are enjoyable and informative. Keep them coming. We started wet shaving to save money. Now that's funny.

The amount of money I've saved DE shaving is just astounding Kevy. Highly recommend this way of shaving to anyone who wants to save a bit of cash ☺️. Great shave as usual mate. Best wishes to you and missus Kevy.

Paul H has a slight resemblance to Robert De Niro.

LA LA LA LA LA LA!!!!!!!!!! Some of the best shaves I've had have been using budget products, had a recent shave with Proraso Green, the puck cost me £1.50! Absolute steal! De Niro technique, like it! :D

Should have bought the Palmolive cream at Morrison's, they have it for £1.80 😀 Every penny counts

How this video starts, and the new technic with the chin, I am crying from laughing. 😂😂😂 Thank you very much Kevy, my day is at now much more better as it was. 😉

Kensurfs is a great guy, yeah?

not seen pears in like 20 years

No lad, he's not bleeding all over the place. He's just REALLY enjoying his shave!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used to really love the smell of Pears coal tar soap. One bar of the very same soap you pre-shaved with costs the equivalent of 3 quid here in Thailand.

Have you tried the affordable Godrej shave pucks from India?

👍 Super

Great inexpensive shave, Kevy ✋🙂👍💈 thanks!

I only started a month ago and ive spent a fortune, i use boots freshwood and i love it

Comparing to gillette nacet does these blades at the same level of sharpness and mildness?

The Cube from PAA seems to be the cheapest preshave they last long time.

Excellent shave Kevy! Shaving doesn’t have to break the bank to be enjoyable or functional!! Thank you for sharing!

I've been using Pears as a shaving soap when I first start wet shaving....... Easy Peasy

Great video Kevy 👍 Do you have a link to those washers?

Do you use bar soaps to shower, too? What brands do you prefer?

I just ordered some Italian Palmolive. I hope its as good as yours appears to be.

👏👏😎😎🇦🇷🇦🇷

A pretty good deal is when rockwell gives a 100 pack of their blades and a blade bank with the purchase of a razor like the 6c for $50. Then buy a couple cans of equate moisturizing shave gel for $1.98 each. 3 containers of gillete aftershave gel for $2 each and a Parker 125gram alum block and your set for a couple years on blades. And quite awhile on everything else . the value and savings of de wet shaving is fantastic compared to cassette blades that cost $2 each . for example spending $178 for 1800 de blades. Vs getting 1800 cassette blades that would cost $3600 dollars.

I started wet shaving about 7-8 years ago. At the time I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not so I went to Amazon and picked up a set of brush, stand, stainless bowl, and a hockey puck soap. I think it was about 25 dollars. Once I realized I was going to stick with it I upgraded my soap to Col. Conk’s hockey puck. After that I searched eBay high and low and found a vintage Old Spice mug from the 1960’s. Most might laugh and think that’s ridiculous considering there are so many nicer bowls. My dad had that Old Spice mug. He’s been gone 33 years now, he was 49, I’m currently 55. Every time I see that mug it just makes me smile. I used the Col. Conk soaps for years then a few months back I was introduced to Taylor of Old Bond Street. Good Lord!! Game changer. I’m still using a cartridge razor but have been considering switching to a DE. Looking at the Merkur34c, as per everyone’s recommendation as a starter. Here’s the thing though, my beard is not thick at all. The cartridge razors do me just fine. At 55 years old I can get away with shaving on Sunday and Thursday. Even then, I could go the whole week and not look scruffy. Ah, forgot to mention I upgraded to a custom made handle from Etsy, with a synthetic knot. I just bought a Taylor of Old Bond Street brush about 2 weeks ago. Not overly impressed with it, not for the price I paid for it. Love their soaps though.

The Pears soap is a great preshave when using the MWF. Do you have a mini microphone fitted to that razor? The feedback was deafening 😂🤣

Hi Kevy you are correct you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good shave. When I go for a cheap shave I use a King C Gillette razor cost me £13 with blades and I was surprised how good it is a steal at the price. Parmolive cream £1.90, Astra blade 2p per shave, Forest Fresh A/S £2 a bottle Nivea post shave. Each shave equals less than 10p not including the razor. Keep well and keep safe.

Palmolive is a unique cream. For cheap price we've product with features products like a more expensive cream.

Very nice budget shave Kevy. When I started I used A couple of creams and soaps Proraso and a variety pack of blades, cheap brush and a Weishi butterfly razor until I got my Edwin Jagger DE89 that I used for a long time. Have a great weekend.

Nice shave Kevy , but I would recommend you to use cheap whiskey instead of water to do the warm up next time , without spilling it of course, .. for the craic.. take care yourself . Cheers !!

I think I'd like to have one of those Shyne razors, looks good to me...and I'm guilty of keeping a can of Nivea and Barbasol in the den "just in case". I should consider a stick of Arko, that might be a good "grab on the go" soap for that 2 am work recall...hmmmm.

Hahaha Love it Kevy only missed Piiiiaaacenzaaaaaa 🤣 Alan H

Hey Kevy...great 👍 budget shave. I have some high end DE shave gear; however, I still use an ice cream bowl from the kitchen for shave bowl. No plan to up scale. Take Care and Stay Safe.

A bull from the kitchen, must be huge houses in good ol' Scotland 😀

Howdy Cap’n Kevy! Time tested, Wilson 🏐 approved. 😉 Have a great weekend and my best to you, the Missus and Riley. Happy hiking! 🤠

Great shave. The wet shaving products I have in my den are both bought with my money and generously sent from friends from random places on Earth. I’m still broke, but I try my best to get the products I want through purchase, winning giveaways and PIFs, whichever way I acquire these products. I started off frugally, but now my den is slowly expanding with more new products I recently got. It’s gonna continue to grow with each and every purchase and generous gifting from friends

Hi Kevy- Great budget shave; thank you! Basic products and a great result! I’m glad to hear your second vaccine is coming-up soon. I hope your weekend is off to a great start. Be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Kevy!

That lather looks really thick. Amazing! Enjoyed the video 👍. Happy shave 🪒

Improve watching your videos. Always good reviews with a good laugh. I'm the same way. I like doing an old school more affordable shave. Take care and stay safe

Ahahaha love the intro Kevy.I got palmolive cream a few months ago superb stuff great slickness nice scent. Can't fault it.Have a great day mate.

This is great! Arko or Palmolive sticks are 99p in my local chemist (Y)

Thank you so much :) Yous saved me from keep getting any expensive pre-shave, that pears soap looks like a great solution. Have a great weekend, all the best :)

There are about 5-6 of the five quid brushes on Aliexpress at the moment. All with free postage to boot.

Great shave, Kevy. I love the combination of the Palmolive cream and Boots aftershave.

Hi Kevy, great shave with cheap setup 👏👏👏👍👋🇮🇹😉

I wander how the real Deniro feels all time with his face? ... and shaving too 😉

I think it is GREAT how you conducted this shave. I have nothing against extremely expensive/premium shave products but I also don't that it is a realistic expectation that such items will be used by the majority of the people who view these videos and it's excellent that those who are most budget minded(voluntarily or forced by circumstance)have the opportunity to see a "Premium Shave" does not mean it has to be done with Premium Products. Parenthetically speaking, one of the things I don't like about the wet shaving hobby is the the elitist attitude that some wet shavers develop. I had(no names or hints of mentioned) one guy actually think he was insulting me by attacking my opinion on a certain razor as being too expensive. He thinks that by calling someone "cheap" that he has succeeded in landing an insult when all he has done is point out, in a less than diplomatic/intelligent way, that I am frugal or thrifty and to me those are Attributes not Detriments. I am not going to allow his ignorance affect or dictate how I enjoy this hobby and it is very heartening to execute such demonstrations. So, do carry one conducting shaves using all types, manner and price level of products. ;-)

Great video I am just starting out in de shaving and been caught in the trap of buying different soaps/creams. Enjoying watching you and PaulH keep up the good work

I’m wondering if you know the hardness level of your water, as it seems you always get great lather. I bought water hardness testing strips off eBay. If the strips are accurate, my water here in Ohio is just slightly harder than diamonds. No question - getting good lather from some soaps and creams can be a challenge. The effective motto: more product, more product.

Enjoyed the shave on the cheap. Thanks Kevy...

the Palmolive creams always perform very well for me

i completely forgot i have a few of pre-shave soaps glycerin one unscented ew the others different kinds of scents, you could even leave the soap and shave using it as your shaving soap as well, great video and shave, i watch all videoes not always commenting sorry buddy, stay safe, cheers....Peter

I've spent a fortune on razors, brushes and soaps but I still use the ol' pears soap in the shower before I shave. The scent reminds me a bit of barley sugar sweets! A top tip for beginners with aftershave is if you rub your palms together and wait a few secs the alcohol will begin to evaporate which will lessen the 'burn'. You may or may not like the burn, and can tune the 'wait time' to taste but on days when I've had a maybe a little too close a shave and I'm nervous about the splash, those few seconds help make it a much more pleasant experience! I tend to use Stirling and PAA splashes which seem to pack quite a punch in the burn department.

Great video again. Would you let us know where did you buy them washers you are using for razor handle/head?

The De Niro technique, AKA, making a face like a slapped arse!

very nice budget shave !!

Nice relaxing shave, cheers!

A pre shave with a Pears soap.Nah that's called having a wash.

Good evening Kevy! That introduction: If you would use Scotch Whisky (single malt works best) your throat would be well tuned. When I read the title "Money Busting Shave" I thought you had went full in on the most expensive gear...lol. You speak the truth, you can get a wonderfully close and comfortable shave with budget products. I find if I use the items for what they are (tying NOT to compare them to the very best) most things work and do fine. Let me tell you, the price of for a night out in Dundee was: 28 GBP (rounded down, includes a late night Kebab from Union Street). I am sure the prices have gone up...lol. Kevy, stay away from Orange McDonalds shakes...never forget that story. If your shave gear works for you, it is the best shave...expensive price doesn't guarantee the best shave. Thanks for posting mate. Take care.

Very nice shave sir. I started wet shaving to save money. 😂

0:00 - 0:29 - My brain just when I'm about to doze off to sleep

Kevy!

Good morning...

Great shave Kevy, I've tried an A&E offering and Palmolive Men Classic with Palm oil. The lather is the same, shave is the same. Enjoyment of the act of shaving, the same. In Canada the Palmolive is $2.99 a tube at many local shops, A&E with shipping, $30 + CDN. I just don't get it Kevy! Lol. And if I want a spectacular awesome scent I reach for my Nivea Men or Gillette Pure. You know what I'm saying. Great shave Kevy!

In the name of God Kevy! If you are going to be ramming home the point it doesn't have to be expensive and high end, can you at least warn us in advance to make sure our wives are out of earshot!? 😂😉 Nice job and absolutely nothing wrong with a budget shave👍
