Beginner Wetshaving How To Learn Angle and Pressure for DE Safety & Straight Razors 

Just started using a safety razor (fairly cheap and not heavy, but I came across it randomly and had been meaning to try the style out)... I've used it about three times and today had bleeding cuts in a shocking number of places...this video made me realize while I think mt angle was okay (maybe needs work), that I've been using the same amount of pressure as a disposable razor...and that's likely a huge part of the problem. This video will hopefully help me avoid that next time!

Some youtubers on here use such an aggressive angle, they seem to be scraping their face. This video is brilliant, explains the correct way to do it.

Nice to hear from you again, Matt. Best wishes from sunny Sydney. Diana and Peter

Good info! I had to go on the road for 5 weeks and was stuck using a crappy electric razor (yikes!). I missed the family the most, but my badger and blade shaves were a close second.

Thanks to this video I know how to shave my hands now. Now what about my face?

I just started shaving recently and I tryed a modern plastic on and did not care for it but we had a lot of vintage safety razors tryed it and ben using it to shave

Very good video, I have found that finding the proper angle is easier to find with the thin head of the Gillette tech than from a TTO or modern tech. Having a angle that matches your hand to face is the only way you can learn how to shave.

I really like the golden Gillette razor, I noticed it still has at least one remaining Gillette De Luxe Blade which are very though to find for us (Collectors). I collect double edge razors and blades. Congrats for that treasure

I have been using my 34g since I first bought it at maggards last shave meet, I don't think I could love a woman as much as I love my German engineering!

wow you have a full beard, i was searching for a beginner video just for fun this popped up used to see you with the Goatee

Hey, why is a bearded guy telling me about wet shaving!?

The angle you are demonstrating on your hand is the only way I can shave without getting severe razor burn.

Does the merkur 25c have a nice balance for newbie?

Head shaved!!!😜😜😜lets go

hello, I'm new to vintage de razors and was curious about what to do with the razor between shaves. For example: what is what the proper care and safety wise? (I have two small children)

I've learned that DE razor blades each have different characteristics and wear out differently. Worst shaves ever where on Merkur Stainless. Only one sold at the local drugstore. Picked up a pack of 5. Used one terrible, then I went to 2 worse then one. I have 2 of them left. 1 went to use pealing stickers off.

This guy looks like Wil Weaton

If they close up in Russia the price of these blades will skyrocket in price.

What’s the reason for saving with an safety razor? And why did they quit shaving with an safety razor in the old days? I mean some how everybody quit saving with an safety razor

C'mon dude, if your gonna hand out shaving advise, get rid of that nasty beard.
