Dollar shave Club Test & my Son Shaves again with an R41 & Feather Blade in a cameo. 

A special guest shaver! Love the idea. Might have to get my boys to come on...but it'll be a while before they can grow any facial hair!

Your son is a madman. What a hero, 3 pass shave with little to no cream. Hopefully we can get a Mikesurfs cameo once in a while.

Ain't gonna lie, I was laughing listening to him beat the r41 off the side of the sink. Well, I cringed when I first heard it then I laughed.

Between Mike not using enough "lather" , beating the razor on the sink and going way faster than I would using that combo, he had me on the edge of my seat.

“For the love of God, please don’t call me Mikesurfs.” Lolllll. I laughed at that. 😁👍🏼

What was your son BANGING that beautiful razor on, when rinsing😖😩 JEEEEZ, go easy on Dad's hardware. That poor r41 never saw it comin'😂 It's a work of art... treat it like one😉

Your son is a trip,glad he stopped by👍sounded like a woodpecker beating that R41 on the sink😆thanks for sharing Ken

Excellent shave Ken. Mike you should really watch your dad's videos. Banging the R41 while rinsing made me cringe and so did shaving with just plain water. Shew!

Nice to meet you, Mike. Kudos for appearing in a video and trying the DE razor again. Looking forward to see you again.

Nice to finally meet your son! The feather blade anecdote never fails to amaze me.

Mike shaving reminds me of the first Rambo movie where the deputys were going to hold him down and dry shave him with a straight razor. He must be a tough guy.

Great video Ken, definitely enjoyed it! It was nice to see your son too, he jumped right back on that blade like a champ! Kudos!

Glad to see your son got back on the horse. 💈👍😎💈

I’ve been watching a few of your videos since I discovered your channel a few days ago. I’ve been using a brush and soap since I started shaving way back in the 1970s. When I watched your son shave I couldn’t believe he would have a go without any lather. I’ve actually never seen anyone shave without lathering up. He’s a braver man than me. Lucky he can get away with it. Anyway thanks for sharing. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Great vid Ken! Never disappoints

All things considered, your boy did a very nice job with your DE, Ken. . . . Another great video. Thanks. Peace.

So cool seeing your son shave. Always great shaving Ken!

Good lad, stepping up like that!

I’ve been a member of Dollar Shave Club for about 5 years now. Best decision I’ve ever made. In my opinion, they are just as good as any of the more expensive razors and last just as long. And you can’t beat the price. Definitely worth checking out.

Hi Ken- Great shave and razor review; thank you! Nice to see your son in the video; great debut shave. Sorry to hear about losing your wife’s cousin; sincere condolences. Take care and all the best. Have a great weekend!

Hey Kensurfs, Thanks for the review!

Great shave it's nice to see you and your son doing a shave

Ken thank you so much for getting him in! Was so good to see your son shave with a DE too! Would be so fun to see you guys shave together haha you could stop him from banging the R41! haha

Jeez Ken, you need to take that kid in hand! That poor R41 being beaten to death in the sink! His cameo was brutal to say the least, I was expecting to see a a gusher at any second.

Much, much faster than my first few goes with the R41. What a madman.

Great to see a Safety Razor in the boys hand. You must be proud.

Great shave, Ken & Mike. I was a Dollar Shave Club member the past few years and used Gillette disposables for 30+ years before that. I really enjoy wet shaving now. I never thought shaving could be so much fun! I'm really enjoying my new Kensurfs synthetic brush.

I’ve been using that exact same dsc razor and cartridge for years. Handle broke and ordered a new one and somehow started getting double the amount of blades every month (I’m sure I was paying double). After having enough cartridges for probably a year I cancelled. I then had a set that felt like crap and cut me. Tried 2 or 3 out of that sleeve and same thing. So must have had a bad batch. Then had another that was smooth but missed a bunch of hairs. As my build up dwindled and was not happy I got into the RU-vid rabbit hole of watching de safety razor videos. Wife got me a R89 grande and sample pack of blades for Christmas and am loving it. Love the feel of lathering on my face with a brush. Taking notes on blades to determine which is best for me. I might revisit the first couple blades I tried after I get the hang of it to see if better technique improves the shave. Oh and by the way no matter the razor you can cut yourself badly if your not careful. In my wedding photos you can see a scar from cutting myself trying to get baby smooth that day with whatever was the Gillette cartridge popular at the time.

Good video ken enjoyed it. Nice to see you bud. 🇬🇧❤️

Ahhhhh banging the razor on the sink!

Nice shave cameo added bonus

Excellent job! Had me wincing every couple of minutes but great that you overcame something such as that. I admit I shave every now and then with a de razor from your guys inspiration x but for me it can be terrifying

Good clean fun, Ken 😉 You can tell he's a cart man by the way he taps the whiskers out of the razor👍 Nice to see a father and son video! Sorry for your loss.

Nice to meet you, Michael! You did a great job with the Muhle R41. You're braver than I am, especially using that shave butter! Use some good shave cream or soap and don't apply any pressure and you'll be a pro in no time!

I was a DSC member for nearly 3 years. The mid-tier, 4 blade model was my huckleberry. Never really disliked it, but decided to try a DE in August of ‘19. The men in my family were all electric (Norelco and Remington) for all my memory, so my use of blades at all was a departure from the beginning. I like the DE’s. Like the community and culture around this hobby. Find myself leaning towards the sharper end of the spectrum (Bic, Feather, Gillette Silver Blue, etc). Thank you for your efforts on this channel. I’ve really enjoyed your content

Hello Ken! Thank you for putting the subtitles, it helps me better understand 😊 Have a nice weekend!

Great video, Ken... Thought he was beating the daylights out of the R41..😂😂😂

Nice cameo with your son Mike Ken

Ken, I can't wait to see the shave tribute to grandfathers

I never saw him relather, and does he realize that's a $60 razor he's pounding on the sink. Nice job tonight Ken, be well.

I don't use cartridge razors anymore because my beard is heavy. Before I discovered DE razors, I had a dedicated toothbrush to clear the clogs of the plastic cartridge razors. I get far better shaves from my DE razors. Now, I use a sink with water, and swish my DE razor in it. It tends to clear out any residual whiskers and soap build up. That being said, use what works for you. If you prefer cartridge razors, then go for it. It's all about a great shave. No judgements here. Aside from the pounding, it was nice to see your son sharing a video with you. ;) Thanks for sharing the video, Ken!

Fun video! Your son did a great job considering he will probably have thousands of people watching the video. I'd have been a lot more nervous. It took me a few years to really refine my wet shaving technique, and some of that was just learning patience. KOKO!

He is a brave man doing that shave....no soap or cream 😳 but a few more times and he’ll get the technique ....

great job Mike love the confidence do a little home work, talk to your dad he can give you good info. I have a 27 year son who started using a safety razor this year. He came and watched me shave, I gave him the finer points and tips to have a good shave and he loves it now. Just some encouragement. banging the razor made me cringe pulled back from the computer. I kept thinking don't break. Have a great day. :)

Damn Ken Love your channel. Your son has balls of steel, loved this cast.Love that you try all sorts different products. Watching your channel is like coming home. Again keep up the good work I appreciate it. I still think you need that Fish Tales pinball.LOL

Hi Mr. Ken Surfs, I am a subscriber to the dollar shave club and have used cartridge razors most of my adult life. One little trick I learned to clean out cartridge razors is to take an old toothbrush and use the bristles of the toothbrush to get in between the blades and remove any hair that might get stuck in there. Works every time, though it may take a minute or two to clean out all the hairs, best done under running water or between dips in the sink I'm glad that you're not one of those guys who are bashing cartridge razors, to me, that's just ridiculous. Both are shaving tools and if one way works the best for you, that's great, keep doing what works for you, no need to bash the one that might not work for you. Anyways, great video and I think you should look into trying Dr. Carver's 'Pillowy' Shave Lather from the dollar shave club. 9 bucks for a 6 oz tube so it's not too pricey and it lathers really well, it's mentholated so it has a nice cooling sensation and it really is kinda pillowy and offers good protection during the shave. Cheers! 🍻🍻

Great video Ken & Son, great to finally put a face to Dad's stories. Your dad Is very keen on his movies and my heart skipped a beat when you first appeared and please take this as a compliment but a young handsome James Gandolfini I thought you were. The Soprano's without doubt one of the best series ever made and how I miss it still. Any thoughts ? All best the from the U.K and be great to see you both again occasionally. Especially if Dad passes on wee bit of knowledge on D.E shaving. Take care everyone Rob

Great job, Mike. Have ur Dad give you some legit shaving soap and a brush.

Holy Hell Mke simmer down with that combo! And what in all that is holy are you doing to that R41!!! No shaving cream and flying over your face like its a rolling pin?! Damn! Well you got some balls thats for sure. I'm shocked you didn't pick up any technique from your pops... he's a damn pro! Slow down and FEEL the razor glide over your LATHERED face... Lather is very important. Good luck and try and enjoy the task... we all have to do it... find an enjoyment factor in it.

Hi Michael. It's great to see you at last, mate.

Rock on Mike for facing that beast a second time, on camera to boot.

The DSC uses the Dorco Pace system of Handles and Blades. The nice thing is that they're cheaper on Amazon for those who want to save more. Also, they come in 2,3, 4,5 and 6 blade cartridges which are interchangeable with the handles. So maybe you buy the 6 blade and decide you only need the 3 blade cartridge, then get that refill because it fits. Pretty good cartridge system, I've used it for travel. So if you don't wanna join DSC Ken, just look up Dorco Pace on Amazon!

Hi Ken, I have found when using these 4,5,6, blade disposable razors, that the best way to keep them from clogging, is to keep the tap water running with warm water, and rinse the blade side and the back side of the razor every 3 or 4 strokes.

This is absurd to me that I'm watching a video of a guy shaving ,no offense, it just so happens it was the episode with your son's story. Ouch, I can sympathize. What really captured my attention was how sincere you are sharing your experiences. I can appreciate the effort you gave, to have your son cameo with the follow up. He is fearless, no shave cream; couldn't help cringing with each pass, especially at the speed he handled it with. I used to "shave" with my grandfather when I was 1 or 2, the memories made me search for the safety razors again. So it was nice to see you sharing that with your son. Price also played a role in the selection, recently my van der haggen broke, had it for a few years after that quickly realized it is not made as perceived. So sought out a budget friendly replacement, came across a quick set on amazon, the anbbas 3 piece with compact stand distinct handle for under $20. I scored a bunch of blades over the years catching sales , so not to loose out on my resources. I got that kit seemed a good match for the value, has some character as well. I'll share my first experience quickly, someone one you tube suggested taking the bur edge of a new razor; so what do I do take a straup to it. Pre oiled my face not something I do normally then Lathered the first pass sucked, "this must be a mistake" lots of passes later I stop. Thinking to myself this razor actually has good reviews, let me change blades just in case, if not I'm throwing it out or getting money back. First pass after blade change, now that's more like it. Is was me "de burring " jacked my skin to shreds. It was worlds better after the blade change, and still think it was worth the purchase, seems it was made well. Thank you for posting honestly

Hi, Michael. Way to give it another try

Happy to see your son. But the apple fell far from the tree. Technique not good. He's missing out on using a proper shave soap with a brush and omg with tappin that great razor... Tsk Tsk Tsk.... All habits from always using a cartridge razor. Most likely from a disposable cart... But each to his own I guess!! 😀 Still I'm glad he came and that was mighty kind of him! ✌

Great cameo with your son Ken. I bet you went nuts when you watched it and saw him smacking the hair out on the side of the sink😀

Finally getting a chance to watch the video this weekend....that boy of yours has no fear! I saw him apply the shave butter and I was curious the soap he was gonna use....then bam! He’s shaving it down! I was scared and I’m 2000 miles away! However if he’s gonna beat that R41 on the sink like that you can send it to me and I promise I would never do that! lol. Thanks for sharing and as always enjoy the video and you sharing!!!!

Your Son is a tough cookie to shave like that with a feather! New to your channel & really enjoying your videos sir!

Great video 👍

Would love to see you get the Gilette Mach 3. I used it for many years. I'm a head shaver now and recently moved to a DE to try to prevent bumps

Great to see your son! I had the hardest time watching the R41 travel without much lubrication over his face that is a sharp blade and an aggressive razor. I cringed because I can not imagine nearly dry shaving with a feather blade. That said he did a good nearly dry shave with a feather blade. He has a good sense of rhythm using the R41 to keep the beat. The only razor I would ever dry shave with is a trac 2. More power to your son for getting back and using the R41 again!! Great shave Ken!

We have been been getting to know our new son. If you are a praying person, please say one for Austin (my son) he is having issues eating.... Glad to see your son doing a cameo!

Straight Razors are my absolute favorite.

I have been signed up with DSC since they first came out. I’ve always had the tier level that provides me with that exact razor you’re using. Now, I’m going to let everyone in on a life hack. Subscribe to the service (if you want), they send you so many blades that after a while you can cancel the subscription and live off the blades they’ve sent you for quite some time. I shave my head and my face everyday and I have a dense heavy full beard. I’ve been unsubscribed for years and still have blades stacked up…. With all that said, I’ve switched to de safety razor shaving. But I still use my DSC razor on my head

Great video Ken, was good to see your boy revisit the R41 after what happened the first time, I think if he used lather he would of got a great shave with no weepers, yes I was another who cringed at the banging but that’s how you clean a cartridge razor out when blocked so he’s only doing what comes natural to him. Now to get the woman to do a leg shave cameo 😂😂😂 Jokes lol. Have a great weekend sir 😊👍

But I will say too, I wouldnt have the guts to try it without a lather on my face. Best video yet.

This seems more like a durability and stress test on the R41. 😜

Great shave as usual Ken. Was nice to see your son shave for the first time. Maybe you two should teamup and start another channel called The Kensurfs and Mikesurfs Shaving Duo. 😂😂😂💈💈💈

I've seen a lot of things in my life.....but seeing your son with that razor going cold to his face like that.....Lord have mercy!!

Hi Ken and Michael. I enjoyed your video. I only wish that your first experience with the r41 was the same as mine. But I had the good fortune of watching your dad shave with it and I had learnt to respect it and go carefully with it. Hope you have the pleasure of using a good badger brush and good quality shaving soap or cream and feeling like a million dollars afterwards that's one thing that makes my day. Wish you both all the best from Scotland. Yours Sincerely Gordon Christie

Was really neat to have Mike do a shave for the group. What a recorded memory to have. For Pete sake quit banging that R41 on the sink like that! I can see why the razor bit you last time.

Ken, you've a fearless son, Hunger Games participants watch out, Mike will laugh at you all while he has a quick scrape with the 41💪

Nice one Ken💈💈 Not your shave with Dollar Shave Club but your son Mike's shave with the R41 again👍 Courageous guy for sure, glad no real issues. Who knows, maybe he'll switch over to wet shaving someday for good. Venture is good stuff and gotta love the burn man👌 Enjoy!

Condolences to your family Ken 👍

The shave cream from dollar shave club is as slick as it gets you should try it . and it's nice cause it's clear that's the only thing I have missed since switching to de shaving

Ken and Michael, please do some comparison shaves together. It is really great to see you, Michael.

Did you forget to tell him the difference between razors and hammers. Great video none the less. Hope his razor burn wasn't too bad, with 2 creamless passes.

And their shave butter is good stuff too

Another great shave, Ken. Stay away from the Bics. Sorry for your loss.

Hi Ken. It was hard to watch. Your son is a brave man. he beat the hell out of the R41. We all saw it and HEARD it. I felt sorry for the razor and the sink. He reminded of the crazy dude from No Country for Old Men movie standing in his motel bathroom asking the razor to call it

Brave to shave with the Muhle again. Moving a little fast there. Overall - well done. Not too much blood.

Dorco makes the DSC razors. I believe that one is the Pace 7. I used that one for 3 years. Just started DE shaving. I enjoy your content!

@Kensurfs the parker 99r is a pretty aggressive razor aswell

Your son is out of his mind! R41 with only water?!?!?! AGAINST THE GRAIN!?!? Incredible.

Ken, I think your son never watched your video. Without lather.. Brave Boy. Your sink and R41 both are strong ... LOL

Before I started DE shaving 3 years ago I used DSC Twin for a few years... Great shave for cartridges which are made by Dorco

I’ve gotta pick up that Captains Choice Trifecta someday! 💈😎🤙🏼💈

Used to hitting the sink with cartridge razors 😁😁

Anybody else think Ken has stock in dollar shave club after this video?? Ur son must have hulk skin, that blade/razor combo would have had me bleeding all over.

Thumbs up and great video It would be interesting to know your opinion of canned spray shaving foams. Are there any superior brands that you have tested or would recommend?

Hi Ken... dollar shave club uses the Pace razors made in Korea. You can also pick them up from Amazon. The replacement blades cost two or 3 dollars. Cheaper than a Fusion but still much higher than using a DE razor. Also... if your son isn't comfortable with an R41, give him a Merkur 34c.

The only blades that have cut me up like that have been the Treet Platinums. Those are the only blades I refuse to touch, and now those Bics that you used. I have a select few go-to's, and a few that I use from time to time, but I use what works.

That razor is the same as the Dorco Pace 6 plus. the Amazon "shave it" blades fit the handle too. Gives quite a good shave but the cartridges are hideously expensive! Currently using a Rockwell 6c (trying different blades), very happy with it.

He made that r41 his B|~€# for not using it much. But my god that banging. Awesome video. Watched it several times.

You should try the Costco "Kirkland signature" razors they are 3 blades and it's a $14 piece for like $22. Some people say the are made by Harry's but anyways I think they are good value for the price.. Love your videos! So much knowledge I can't find anywhere else!

Key Ken!!! Hope all is well , I just got my first Gillette Slim Adjustable today !!! 1964 I traded my R41 for it... my girl wouldn’t let me buy another razor just yet so I’ll have to buy it again later on the low LOL!! 🌊🌊🏄🏼‍♂️

What your son needs is the Rockwell 6C/S Run it with the R4 plate, drop a feather in there, and its a perfect combo. And holy crap banging a DE razor on the sink?! And I see how he would have cut himself, he's putting quite a bit of force on the head, I used to do that with the Cartridges, goes to show that you pick up bad habits from bad equipment. Good shave both. Brave kid. Needs to relearn how to use a razor if he wants to go DE though. But, that's what Dad - Son moments are for.

Just bought a muhle r41 from your reviews...

3 passes with no cream and no relather holy Toledo! I think he did pretty well considering. I also cringed when I heard the razor banging on the sink . thanks ken and son
