4:20 Totally reminds me of "The Sims" when speed up. Thanks for the info! Good to see that blades actually last longer than two times. I'm starting with a "Parker" shavette combined with "Feather" blades soon and I like that one blade actually equals two blades. Used to shave with cheap, disposable savety razors, where the plastic handle is attached to the savety blade. Always hated the huge amount of plastic waste such razors cause, that hair sticks in between the multiple blades and the inferior shave, which was sorta acceptable, but I think using a bigger blade will actually feel overall better if mastered. Cheers!

Hi Nick, Geat video as always. That Merkur 37C slant has been my "go to" razor for months now and I recently tried Personna blades in that razor and they didn't last. They might last longer for you, but I only got 2 multipass shaves out of those blades. I also tried Feather blades in that razor and I got quite a shock at how mild they are in the 37C slant. In fact they were almost forgiving. They only lasted for 2 multipass shaves in the 37c slant in my case.

I actually find that shaving every day is better for irritation. One tip I've learned is that you can get more shaves from the razor by turning the blade over. I usually do four shaves on one side and three on the other so I change my blade every Sunday. Looking forward to day 2

You're an Orthopedic Surgeon, correct? What do Radiology duties entail for surgical resident? Do you review/examine scans or imaging for the Attending? Just curious, because I just started on the education path towards Rad Tech, so I'm trying to learn more about the hospital work environment.... while fighting for my life to get/keep an A in Human Anatomy.

@KadenNephi 9 лет назад

Nick, is this the best barbershop scent in your opinion? And what do you suggest for hair products?

@tblemtube 9 лет назад

Have you ever tried Rapira Swedish Supersteel blades? Those are my absolute favorites. I can sometimes get 10 shaves out of one. I also do Douglas Smythe's feather blade trick with them because the first shave can sometimes be rough.

@sergiucelibidache1943 9 лет назад

I recommend you to shave with the famous "see buckthorn" soap by muhle if you want a nice quick shave ;) good review thx

@SteelTownErick 9 лет назад

A daily shave. Welcome to my world. I shave five to six times a week for work.

@WingMane52 9 лет назад

Great shave Nick! I hope your 5 days go well, I am curious to see how the blade holds up and what other products you use!

I tried ordering the soap, but they don't ship to canada. ??

@pjo1964 9 лет назад

Maybe you can get some Lab Blue blades from the hospital? lol I used a LORD Platinum Series blade yesterday. I usually get good shaves from them. So far my four favorites in no certain order are LORD Platinum, Astra Green, Personna Blue (want to try Israelis) and Shark Super Chrome. Feathers a bit too sharp, and i get decent shaves with Dorco St300 or St301, same blade, and theyre super cheap. Worst are Derby, Merkur, and Wilkinson Sword. They rip my face up. Rough edges i guess. They need to strop them suckers.

Still owe you that derby cream review!

@mooturner 9 лет назад

Nice one. Am keen to see how you hold up for 5 shaves in a row. I too have quite sensitive skin, and so I shave every second day. But I also have a corse beard, and so tend to look very scruffy in the second day, which I don't like for work... Thinking of shaving every day too, but only one or two passes. I find my 1930s gillette long comb is very close, and gives a good one pass shave. The test will be whether I can leave the bathroom knowing that there is still a little stubble to be remove... Although my face may not be irritated, my soul will be instead ;)

@johanndaart7326 6 лет назад

Matt Turner Sooo, after three years, what's your routine? Do you shave everyday :) Using mild machine head and a mild blade can help with shaving everyday.

@anthonylowder6687 2 года назад

The best way to get the maximum use out of a razor blade is not to switch sides of a razor during one shave this will use your blade up faster. The best and most efficient as well as economical way is to use a fresh blade for the first 15 days of the month than after that use the other side of the razor for the rest of the month. Not only will you get a BBS every single time but you can make a pack of blades (depending if it is a 5 or 10 pack of blades) last for months and the cost is even better….sure they are cheap compared to a cartridge razor but if you use your razor blade for 2 to 5 shaves every time and buy new packs the cost in the long run will be expensive. I have been shaving this way for 10 years and I can vouch for it’s validity, this is the best use of a razor blade any other way is a waste of blade and money.

@gabrielbennett5162 8 месяцев назад

That actually makes a lot of sense! I'm going to try that.

@gabrielbennett5162 7 месяцев назад

Well, I tried your method and it worked! I made one blade last a whole month. Problem I ran into is, that by the fifth and last shave on each side, the blade wasn't cutting nearly as well and not only took more effort to shave with, but was more prone to giving me nicks and razor burn. On average, I shave about three times a week, so I'm going to limit it to three shaves on each side and change the blade after six shaves total, that way, the blade still lasts twice as long, but will be at optimum sharpness.

Gilette Mach 3 blade i use max 6 months at 2 times shave per month then finally the blades wears off

@antona.4572 23 дня назад

I was able to get a total of 34 (thirty four) descent quality shaves out of my single green Astra Russian-made blade, before it finally started to dull down and tugging on my hair instead pf cutting them. Not bad, considering I have a coarse and thick stubble.

@albertcastro409 4 года назад

I don’t know how you can shave 🪒 every day. I try to do just once a week. LOL ! Make my blades last longer ! 👍🏻👍🏻

@alexcarter8807 4 года назад

It depends.... I need to shave at least 3X a week. My dad, to look sharp, would need to shave 2X a day.

@matthewolivier2883 3 года назад

I get 15 shaves from feathers, thats 15 3pass shaves with medium growth. Bear in mind i use super slick soaps and ride the top cap a lot.i replace when theres tugging.

@rannytrom6694 2 года назад

I use a bic disposable, a brush and normal soap, shave every day. Last for a few weeks. It takes approximately 60 to 65 strokes each shave. The most shave I got was 105, mind you it was ripping them out At the end. Also strop it every couple of days on my arm.

You strop a a disposable bic razor?

@@user-qu5un3ff6d hey, at least you are not throwing it away after the first use, when it's still good for a few more shaves, unlike some other people, who has turned the planet into a one big plastic scrapyard, so my respect to you 👍👍👍

@glytch5 8 лет назад

if I shave everyday, I skip going WTG, I just go straight for XTG, and ATG... I realize you do not ATG though.

@antona.4572 23 дня назад

But overall, the lifetime of a blade greatly depends on the quality of it's metal and on how coarse and thick your beard is, and even the quality of your shaving lotion, so there is no right or wrong answer.
