Received my Atomic Rocket brush just over a week ago and love it for my head shave. You are the reason I order and got this brush thanks for the videos. Please do more head shaves😀😀😀
Mark, I would like you to know that you are who introduced me to PAA. I've made 2 different orders and am waiting for them to arrive. This brush is one of the many things I ordered. I can't wait to try their products. I usually tend to stick to old, traditional, English products although I do like Tabac. My wife says it smells like old lady baby powder! But I'm very excited about this company and will be sorely disappointed if I don't like their products. Your video on their cubes was the first I heard of them. I ordered 2 different cubes with the docks and am quite excited! You now have a new subscriber!
Wow Mark, is yr profession 'sales'. Y speak so convincing... mny wud buy fm you! Am asking this as I owned a trading company, started 1980, sold 2000 with offices in Germany, UK, Curitiba/Brazil n Singapore. Good salesmen were rare n expensive. Well, yr DOC razor looks nice, but intimitating... Cheers.
Thanks very much, Achim Kohlhage!:) I appreciate the compliments.:) the Doc razor looks more aggressive than it is.:) It is efficient.:) it does capture lather for a little bit of buffing, but Iuse this feature sparingly.:)
Apenas acabo de desempacar mi Atomic Rocket Shave Brush y de usarla esta mañana pero estoy FASCINADO. ¡Toda una superbrocha o un brochón gigante y magnífico! No me cabe duda de que con el paso de los días terminará convirtiéndose en mi pertrecho artesano favorito para la afeitada. ¡Felicitaciones y saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia!
Carlos, thank you so much for the really nice comments! I'm so glad to hear you're already enjoying the Atomic Rocket Brush! Yes, the Atomic Rocket is a favorite in my shave den. I've heard from nay other viewers who have expressed similar comments to yours. Wonderful to hear from a viewer from Bogota, Columbia! Thank you for taking the time to leave the nice note. From Google translate: Carlos, muchas gracias por los comentarios realmente agradables! ¡Estoy muy contento de saber que ya estás disfrutando del Atomic Rocket Brush! Sí, el Atomic Rocket es uno de los favoritos en mi guarida de afeitado. He escuchado de otros espectadores que han expresado comentarios similares a los tuyos. ¡Maravilloso escuchar a un espectador de Bogotá, Colombia! Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para dejar la bonita nota.
Ah yes, the Atomic Rocket. I love mine. PAA makes great shave brushes. Hell, everything they make is great. Wait until you start using their soaps and aftershaves. Have a great day!!!
@@MarkSzorady I have way, way too many of their soaps, confirmed by my wife, lol. Some of their best are Gondolier, John Frum, any of the Doppelgangers, and Et Tu, which is a take on Brut, which I love. Cold Spices, which is their take on Old Spice, is amazing too, as I'm on my 3rd tub of that currently. They really are world class products, and will put a smile on your face once you feel the quality of product you're using. Have a great day!!!
Hey Mark. Mine just arrived a few days ago and I am looking forward to shaving with it. My grandfather used to shave with an identically colored Eveready. I am loving all of my PAA wet shaving products!
Mark great shave again, love the look of that brush, 26mm is a great size too. I have a Yaqi version (Mellon Head) of that DOC razor which I get good shaves from, for a classified mild razor it is still quite efficient.
Hi, IlShamali.:) Oh man. Sorry to hear about the delivery lag. Wish I could offer a solution. I'm curious now to look at my packaging and see how mine was delivered.
Hi Mark, Just received my Atomic Rocket and used it today. I love it! Feels great in hand when lathering (I prefer to bowl lather), nice and soft on the face and head, and it whipped up a luxurious lather in no time flat! I had an excellent shave! I’m gonna have to do a lather face off with the Atomic Rocket and the Star Wisp, (I can’t tell which I like more currently)! Gear used today was: the Atomic Rocket of course Pacific Shaving Company All Natural Shaving Cream My Muhle Rocca for (head & face) and my Muhle R106 (for shaving around my ears and my ears themselves) Both razors were loaded with Gillette Nacet Blades (I have the Phantom Aerolite on the way, so who knows who will win the spot of favorite brush)! Good day to you and all the other wet-shaving gents out there!
James, thaks for the great breakdown on your new Atomic Rocket brush. I've used the naturla have cream from Pacific Shaving company and the Atomic Rocket will definitely do a great job in whipping up that lather. You used a really nice set p of gear. All the PAA brushes are great, and each has its own strength, IMHO. 🙂👍
Mark, no problem, and thank you. I bought the Pacific Shaving Cream after watching your video, and seeing how much you enjoyed it. I prefer to use natural shaving products. You’d be surprised how fluffy it gets in a bowl with a good brush! I really like shaving soaps, now that I have good brushes, they make all the difference! I started with a cheap badger brush and smooth bottom bowl, I had a lot of trouble achieving a stable lather. After watching videos of yours and other gents, I discovered the PAA brushes and slow feed dog bowls, that was the game-changer right there! I no longer struggle to get a good lather and I get it quickly with the mighty PAA brushes, all without spending a fortune! The Muhle Rocca is a truly marvelous razor, and my #1 pick for one person for wants only one razor for the rest of their life. IMO, it’s the perfect combination of aggressiveness, maneuverability, grip and durability. I own too many razors, but the only way to learn a lot of razor/blade combos is to try it. As they say, you have to bust some eggs to make an omelette! 😂I’ve learned so much in last 2 years! They also make great decorations with their elegant looks, I’ll eventually make some type of display to keep the ones I’m not using in.
Hi Mark- Great shave and brush review; thank you! A very nice-looking brush. I’ll check-out the DOC razor; I enjoyed hearing your thoughts about it, as all of the various DOC-type razors look a bit intimidating and my experiences with open comb razors to date has not been very good. I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. Please take good care; be safe and be well! Best regards, as always!
Thanks, Mike.:) It's not intimidating. However, the first time around with the original SLOC, I found that the self-lathering feature left behind a little less that I anticipated. This resulted in a small bit of irritation. Nothing major. I simply adjusted my shave the next time around and got a really nice result. Now knowing this, with the Doc, I get a wonderfully close shaves that are irritation free.:) Yes, stay safe!:)
Hi, Glenn.:) Agree.:0 i's a terrific brush!:) I, too, have the Peregrino and plan to do a review.:) Based on how nice these two brushes are, it's hard not to buy the others.:)
Great video! Love your enthusiasm 😊💈SOTD is GSC Frost razor, Super max blade, Antica Barbieria Colla shaving brush, Razorock American Barber Shaving soap and AS and T&H Ultimate Comfort Balm😊
@@MarkSzorady It certainly was the Blue Diamond. I have the Atomic Rocket brush and also the Starcraft. They're both great brushes. The Atomic Rocket is a wee bit bigger and with more backbone, while the Starcraft is even softer...
Yes, i believe I did a review of it. As I said, I was a bit over confident with it and got jsut a bit of irritation. I adjusted to omuch for the slef-lathering feature. The next time around, I kept it to a minimum and got a really nice shave.:)
Nice shave and nice brush. I'm looking forward to getting something from PhoenixShaving. I have two questions for you: Are you looking forward to "A Quiet Place: Part II" and how often do you change your pillowcases?
@@ThaRedPitbull Ooohh!:) Now I understand.:) apologies. I change it once a week.:) No ill effects. But maybe I should consider doing it the way you suggest..)
@@MarkSzorady lol, You had me thinking that I had been calling the sheet the wrong name for years or something. I asked because I keep breaking out on the back of my head/neck area. I'm not sure what's causing it. The only thing my head lays on is my pillow so that's why I wash it more often I guess. And check out A Quiet Place movie if you get a chance. I think you'll like it since you said you like the science fiction type movies.
Great video, Mark, and I purchased this brush yesterday based solely on your evaluation - you haven't led me astray on the OneBlade Core, Chieftain Jr., Merkur 34c, Stirling Soap, etc. :) I wonder if you did anything special prior to first using the brush. I viewed how you have prepped your natural hair brushes but I didn't see anything related to synthetics. I guess I could look on Google but I'm too lazy :)
