Gillette 7 O'Clock Sterling razor - Park Avenue shave foam and aftershave 

My work here is done.

Absolutely and we would all likely make do with *at least* the razor and just reach for a cheaper shaving soap and a boar brush, or synthetic if animal products are not an option. All the best to you, it's nice to have a four day week every now and then!

Parker makes some nice razors, but the better ones rise rapidly in cost as well. What about the Pearl razors?

@@mfreedberg i think their most expensive offering is parker variant for around 50 dollars here. Pearl razors are descent as much i have heard of them. But not quite the finish and heft of parkers. Threading of top cap on parkers is horrendous though.

@@rajeshsweet194 hey so o thought that maybd you would like razors made from merkur they make really nice razors german made also and they have adjustable ones as well the the futur and the progress alao some slanted ones maybe you would like to geve them a try the most expensive ones would go for 80 dollars max from them directly and thats the futur some normal ones go up to 50 at max but thats rare not including delivery tho

@@petermikus2363 i would like all of that but no one sells them here🐈.

@@rajeshsweet194 yeah understandable as the delivery woupd run for about 20 dollars at least probably anywas where do you live i mean country

Good tip, and you can also try adding a bit more water to the foam if it is too dense, but in the end you are not going to get that good a lather from it. What is your favorite local shaving cream? The Godrej?

@@mfreedberg yes Godrej is a good shaving cream, I have used all three and liked the menthol one the most 😊

As Mad Eye Moody always said: "Constant vigilance!" Best to be prepared for the days ahead when and if this is it and we all have to make do -- may that day never come!

Years of practice and a derring-do attitude - anything is possible!

In June 2005 i am 5 year old 😂. I started shaving back in 2016 and use qshave safety razor but moved to sterling razor just 2 weeks ago great results very cheap and time saving product

Thanks!!

That's for next year, I have to wait for somebody else to make the long trek there and back again :-)

Thanks, it wasn't TOO much of a sacrifice :-) You can add water to this lather, and I think you can make it slicker than it starts off, but you will never really get what I would call a *real* slick and protective lather. I had a pretty good long weekend, how about you?

I never used this type of shaving cream, and it just feels weird when you touch it. Glad to be using real soaps and brushes :-) I look forward to seeing your review of the Eco!

I guess you could, but then you are cheating yourself of the entire experience - and that is half the fun! I wonder if this lather would just break down. I may have a go...

I can imagine, this is already a pretty mild razor :-)

I know, it's really not a bad razor at all, certainly for the price! They should sell those over here too, and lower the in-store price of DE blades. The foam just feels so wrong, and you are right: even the cheapest shave soap will out-perform this product. I would take Arko over this any day. Let's see how the shave cream fares (at some point in the future!)

Yup, enjoy!! Welcome back - so many new things for you to explore!

I now have a tube of the shaving cream, so that will be coming up in a future video!

Good "save" -- that was funny! The aftershave is actually quite pleasant, and I am glad I have it. No brush, no face lathering, funny how much I missed that.

I actually have one coming up!

Poetic, I like it!

No worries, and thanks so much for watching!! What are YOUR local favorites?

@@mfreedberg Parker, Pink Woolf, Pearl Shaving company products

Mild

To be fair, I did get a close shave, but that's more down to my EXPERT TECHNIQUE :-) That foam kind of works, but cannot really compete with a real shaving soap. Wholly Kaw has literally *nothing* to worry about!!

I think this razor would be fine for a beginner, it is *very* mild and feels very safe on the face. Even if you were to press down a bit, I think you would still be totally fine. Most people learn pretty quickly to ease up after they give themselves a bit of razor burn with whatever razor they start with, so I think this should still be fine. What blades do you find work well for you?

@@mfreedberg Vikings sword and all Personna and Astra s.p. These are my top 3.

He does...he's like me though I think. Shave with one side, rinse and turn over - use the other side, rinse and repeat.

I absolutely do use both edges, just not one right after the other. I really don't like shaving with one side full of lather and stubble, so I use one side, rinse, turn over and use the other side.

Listening to it now, not sure I have ever listened to any Tool before. I will let you know what I think!

I can well imagine, and I hope that a lot of people will continue to use this set of products! I have finished the foam, but still have most of the bottle of the aftershave, as well as a practically unused Godrej shaving round. Good stuff!!

@@mfreedberg indeed sir i agree with you

Review things for what they are, and you can find great shaves in all kinds of places. And yes, for lots of people this is IT for shaving, and they are getting the job done as well.

Sir, I am from INDIA and here from Rs 30 to 30000/- razors are available, even Merkur, EJ, Muhle are also available, Parker razors, Pearl razors, Pink Woolf are some reputed brands moreover GSC i.e Global Shave Club is importing razors from INDIA and CHINA and marketing those in your country, so you can't say that every one is shaving with this razor, My daily go to razor is Merkur 37c, EJ-316 and Parker 94r in my rotation if you want I can send you photos of my collection of razors, I have razors from INDIA, USA, UK, Germany, Russia, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey and many other countries, so I would request you not to under estimate INDIA and Indians only on the basis of a razor, my WHATSAPP number is +919041400914, thanks.

Agreed, and this is not for me, but I bet there are people who love this stuff! Barbasol is popular for good reason, especially in terms of the familiarity of the scent. Roger Daltry > Sinatra or Lennon - fight me!
