@crimsontide1980 2 года назад

I'm 42, been watching videos since last year, wanted to give this a try but just never pulled the trigger. Guess I'm just too caught up in my routine of using Gillette Fusion 5 cartridge blades. I read don't have too many complaints about them, other than the ridiculous price, plus I have extremely coarse, thick facial hair, which seems to wear down blades quicker than the average guy. That and I always seem to be in a rush, which doesn't sound like a good mix with a safety razor. Ended up buying a safety razor at a department store, Van Der Hagen brand, was cheap so figured I'd give it a try before investing a couple hundred dollars in a great DE safety blade, mug, brush, stand, pre shave oil, shave cream, etc. $200 sounds a little lofty but if you add everything up, and you get yourself some great products, $200 is not a far stretch. Of course over time it saves you money with the cheaper blades but it's still a little intimidating for a blue collar guy such as myself. Gonna try it out a handful of times to see if it's for me or not. I'm hoping I catch on quick, and don't slash my face up too bad the first couple times haha!

@brianbarringer4309 Год назад

I’m 54 and just started using a safety razor a 2 months ago. I bought the Merkur FUTUR Adjustable Safety Razor at Amazon and have been using Feather blades. I got tired of the high cost of multi-blade cartridges and decided to give this a try. Hopefully I won’t nick myself to much eventually.

@arjanroelf 10 лет назад

I started using my grandfather's Gillette safety razor after he passed. Saw a serial number on it and googled it. Turned out it was 90 years old! So that means he got it from his father probably :-)

@green2882 10 лет назад

I got mine months ago, and aside from a few scratches it feels and looks new. I think I will be able to give it to my grand kids, but I'm only 20 so by then robots will probably be shaving our faces lol

@adufresne1 10 лет назад

Kiko Azzurro You'd be surprised. Depending on genetics some 16 year olds can grow more facial hair than some adults. Also shaving irritation and ingrown hairs from multi-blade cartridge razors are not exclusive to people who can grow magnificent beards.

@Starsandfunk 10 лет назад

I used to get loads of bumps, neck rash and ingrowing hairs until I switched from multi-blade cartridge razors to DE shaving. Multi-blade razors are once of the biggest marketing lies sold to our generation!

@BrainToMush 9 лет назад

When I was a teenager I inherited a couple of safety razors from my grandfather's estate. Back before Ebay and Amazon, it was harder to get a hold of blades, so for that reason and also being taken by the marketing of the cartridge razors, I started using a Gillette single blade Astra, but I started to feel like the blades were too expensive, and also got disgusted when they started adding more and more blades. So for years I actually went to electric shavers. Recently, I started using a safety razor again. I don't think I'm ever going back. The quality of the shave is far better than any of the other methods, and it's cheap to maintain. It is really the ultimate shaving tool. People need to stop buying in to the stupid multi blade shaving craze. How can people afford to pay five dollars for a cartridge that dulls in two uses, and doesn't even give a good shave? The more blades they put on, the crappier the shave, and the more it costs. People need to send a message to the companies that make those by not buying them.

@tag2869 Год назад

Hi Geo, I am in Australia and unfortunately exchange rate and shipping charges make purchasing offshore almost impossible. However, I would like to thank you for helping me to switch back to DE shaving after some 50 years ( Im in my 70's now ) . Your videos are very helpful and helped me purchase a Merkur ( 34C and a Merkur Futur razors. Astra blades and a Simpson brush. Great products. I took a small metal bowl and added 3 blobs of clear silicone ( Fishtank type ) to the bottom. Once dried they provide perfect gentle resistance to the brush in working up a lather. My favourite shape cream? TOBS Sandalwood !!! . Keep up your great work.

Thanks so much for all of your advice. I have been shaving regularly since freshman year in highschool and I am now a junior. I have had horific razor burn and bumps. First de shave today and all I can say is WOW... At first I didn't even think I was shaving. went great and had no burns or bumps. Merkur 34 c bought with Xmas money. I even grew the balls to go against the grain the third pass. If you are thinking of going de... Go for it.

@tjm3900 4 года назад

I bought a Rapira razor with 5 blades off ebay about 5 years ago, I had never used a DE razor before and the change was a revelation! I have since bought a variety pack of Russian blades and some sticks of Arko soap. I will never go back to multi edge razors. Closer shaves at a small fraction of the price :-)

@Noondroid 11 лет назад

Really appreciate your vids. I'm going to buy my first safety razor very soon. I haven't seen all your vids yet and I don't know if you mentioned this or not, but I think it's worth mentioning for people just starting out. Since u plug the drain of your sink rather than run your blade under water, make sure the sink is very clean. Toothpaste, mouth wash, etc can make a sink very dirty and it gets on the blade which is on your face. I'm sure you know this and keep your sink clean.

@BarnsleyBob 12 лет назад

I want to say a big thank you for your vids. I recently had my eyes opened to better shaving after visiting a professional barber for a shave. I had a cheap DE razor many years ago after seeing my grandfather use one but I didn't stick with it. How I wish I had! I now have a Merkur HD 34C & just a couple of shaves in I'm feeling the benefits; closer smoother shaves & I really do look forward to shaving. Thanks again, your vids show the right way to shave and what kit to buy. All the best! :)

I bought a cheap (like less than $20) DE razor for a beginner model and recently upgraded to a Merkur Classic 1904 3-piece DE razor. The shave from the Merkur is so nice not to mention it looks awesome! Definitely worth the extra money, wish I woulda started with it in the first place because my cheap-o nearly turned me off to DE shaving.

@paulstevens2839 5 лет назад

I always used to hate shaving when I was using carts becasue they would rip the hair off your face after 4 shaves (and at $2.50 + per cartridge). I am really enjoying DE shaving for the first time in my life and I totally cannot wait to shave every other day!

@Hicaliber1 11 лет назад

I had already started on the path to using a safety razor after I saw a show about extending the life of blades by wiping with alcohol and keeping somewhere dry, as its the moisture that destroys the blade, not the use. Anywho, I def wanted to see a how to before I used it, and yours did the trick, good pro job.

Personal Experience: Very true about the disapearance of red bumps and ingrown hair on the neck area. I've ALWAYS had horrible red bumps ALL OVER my neck after each shaves (with the modern multi cartridge razors). Upon a single try of a DE safety razor, not a single red bump came. What a relief.

Just made the switch and love how close it gets. I'm taking it easy to start out since I am new to it and the two times I shaved I can tell my face needs time to heal from it. I have noticed better results in the preparation. The hotter the water the better. Over time I am sure I will be better at it. Love how close it shaves!

@green2882 10 лет назад

With these razors try to keep the pressure to a minimum because that's what causes the cuts. The hotter the water the better indeed!

@WarriorPoet01 10 лет назад

After just over year of safety razor shaving, the ONLY time I get cut is when I press against my skin (me doing the work). You may hear it a 1000 times and not believe it, but "let the razor do the work" IS the solution! When I let the razor work (minimal pressure) I can get a nice, close, shave - with zero nicks! After a while, it's like riding a bike. The angle happens naturally without even thinking. You'll get the hang of it. No worries :)

@SamvedIyer 2 года назад

Switched from cartridge razor to safety razor yesterday. I had watched several videos on shaving with a safety razor, but given that it was a first try, I proceeded with great caution. I was quite content with the results; I had only one nick, and the shave was closer. I enjoyed shaving as a ritual even prior to the switch, but I enjoy it more now. Today, I had no nicks or cuts. I would, of course, have to be vigilant about the blade getting dull, but I know that the blade must be changed after about five or six shaves.

@Grizzly907LA 12 лет назад

Your welcome. I get great head shaves, and I get decent face shaves. I usually dont have time in the morning to go against the grain on my face and I cant do it on my neck because it gets bumpy and irritable however I had worse with the slock (Mach) 5. It also gets me to slow down, get out of my head and focus. Its my Zen time in the morning and a form of meditation. My soap and cream come out to about $7-8 and both last me for a while.

You are a legend of modern wet shaving ! This video needs to be updated since one of the best safety razors ever hadn't been designed yet. The Rockwell 6c or 6s is the best beginning razor of ALL TIME. Not only that, it is also one of the best razors you will ever shave with period. You need nothing other than the Rockwell 6c or 6s, it is GOAT.

@Grizzly907LA 12 лет назад

I have a Merkur HD, and Merkur Futur. I use the HD with derby razors the Merkur with Feather razors. Ive been getting great shaves with both of them. Its been a year since I started and I'll never go back to cartridge razors. Not to mention its cheaper in the long run after the initial cost of getting a brush, the razors, razor blades etc.

@iFirefight07 12 лет назад

there are several products out there that will help with shaving nicks and cuts. The one I use is called a styptic pen. After you shave, you simply wet the "pen" and put it over the cut. It stings for just a second, but will typically close the cut up without the use of toilet paper. As for cutting yourself with a safety razor, you will to begin with but after some practice you will find cuts and nicks are few and far between. I never used to shave the back of my neck for the same reason

@TheChiefSteel 11 лет назад

I switched to Safety razor shaving at first due to the cost of cartridge razors. Then I discovered better shaving creams, aftershaves, pre shave oils and now I think it's really the best way to shave. Everything about it is better and way more economical. Plus the fact it is much less waste than to convential shaving.

I've been shaving with a Safety Razor for almost a full year now, and it's one of the best lifestyle changes I've made.

I asked the question about the purpose of the "rake" or comb of the safety razor. I think I've figured it out. Is it to align the whiskers so that the blade will make a cleaner cut as well as to get the whiskers to stand out? Please forgive me of my ignorance,Geo,but would really like to be enlightened. I had no idea that there were such a huge selection of safety razors!! The electric one made in the 40's was really an eye opener. THANKS for showing us your selections and videos!!

i love this shaving boom. when i first started there was nothing to help beginners out. but now there is so much available, its actually hard to understand why people still use disposable shavers. i guess there is still the fear that most people have of cutting them selves, witch i for one only ever do once in a blue moon :P

I have a manscaped plow. My first real safety razor. Also have a shorter handle one with a trap door style head like that 11:42 Not sure which one I like better, but it isn’t as heavy as the plow.

Great instructional video! Still undecided about which razor to go for - may try to find a Gillette Slim . Thanks for sharing!

This something I have been considering for awhile now. I am getting tired of the cost and poor shave you get with so called modern razors. I will be checking out your site and buying soon. Thanks for the informative videos.
