How to Shave with a Safety Razor (MÜHLE Shaving tutorial) 

Finally a video by a barber and not just a salesman or executive.

40 years on that planet, and finally I get a good lesson on how to properly shave with a safety razor.

This is easily the best shaving tutorial out there! Cheers!

Wow. Best teaching video I have seen. Outstanding! Thank you! Amazing technique and instructions

My r89 arrived last week and just love it.

Really great explanation. Thanks!

Boy, I thought I knew everything...not the case. Excellent presentation.

Great video...the secret is in the sonic feedback as the razor does it's job...also let the weight of the razor do the work don't apply pressure.The most important part for me is the face prep.Ideally shave after a shower otherwise hot water applied via a flannel and consider a pre shave.To finish,cold water rinse followed by alum bloc face wipe,after shave moisturiser and then a great aftershave lotion. Some people love the whole Spa/weekend pamper thing you know what,do this whenever you have a moment for that selfish pamper love yourself time and the more you do it the more your skin will love you. Importantly,above all else ditch those bloody cartridge razors,save a ton of money,improve your skin and, like the girls do,pamper yourselves fellas!

I got a R89 Grande for Christmas and love it. I used cartridges for years and the Muhle gives me much more comfortable and closer shaves. Baby smooth. I also lost the razor bumps on my neck. Great razor.

Great tips , Elliot. I like the fact you're doing the with-the-grain shave, and got a very close shave nonetheless.

So I tried the r41 with some feather blades for my first ever safety razor shave and tbh it didn't go as bad as I thought it would

great tutorial

Excellent tutorial video. Love my Muhle R89, my first DE from 8 years ago and still in my daily rotation

Nice shave tutorial

This actually a really good explanation video!

Great video!

Very helpful tutorial. My neck area grows like yours and I've always had blood spots and irritation. Now I know where I've been going wrong!

Great video

Hallo Leute! Ich bin Welschtiroler... Now I start to write in english to arrive better to all people. I bought directly to your site the r41, better known as like "the shark". It's simply fantastic. The best razor I ever used! In just one time I shaved my beard perfectly when compared the other razors I had to pass at least 4 times. When you say quality you don't have to be worried, especially if costs can be amortized over years of daily use. You have a great product produced in Europe (made in Germany) and now you have in me a great estimator and client. Viele liebe Grüße aus Welschtirol.

Would you not want to be rinsing the blade with water more frequently ? and applying a larger amount of cream. Although i use mach 3 and regular gel from a can, so i might be unaware. thanks

I need one of those videos with a man with a thick and hard beard. I always have the problem of the beard shadow even if I have a close shave.

That's a Great video I have all Muhle Product and have razor 106 Muhle ohhhh it's aggressive not mild on my skin at all...I wonder how is Muhle Rocca and I did order one and haven't tried it but there is a new head for Muhle Rocca and I send email to Muhle and nothing yet or response..I'm little upset I was hoping Muhle would help or do something.. Great Video Alan H

Are you using argon oil as a pre-shave in this video?

Nice tips ... 👌

My old safety razor of 4yrs broke so I bought a muhle r89. Im so impressed and its so gentle on the skin

Good video

What Blade are you using?

thanks!

I don’t know what’s he’s shaving off, but it was a very informative video and your products are great, so thumbs up anyways.

This or r41 for one week shave?

Great Video and explanation this is my problem I go down sideway and against and sure get irritation cause I chase for BBS but have to avoid that habit... Alan H

Was that a King C Gillette razor?

Wish you had shown the area around the adamsappel, mine is quite large and often get nicks there trying to get a clean shave.

How about when it grows side ways under the cheek?

Thanks for your tips.I am from Brazil and it is very difficult to find MÜHLE safety razors.

Just ordered aR89 grande gotta do I look after the razor do I clean it after every shave... Do I ever need to oil it etc etc... Thanks for any help....

R41super!!!

Shaving cream is the best gel is absolutely terrible I cut myself so many times but with the shaving cream it’s great

Should I never shave against the grain?

I have a spiral on both sides of my face so shaving is hard :)

Pues vaya un peluquero jefe… la espuma que ha echo era muy finita y encima se corta en el cuello afeitado muy regular

Wait a minute, this is the shaving ASMR guy. Elliot Forbes

Not sure how I feel about taking tips from a man shaving with a DE razor but only uses one side of the blade then washes it off. When one side is full of soap and whiskers, flip the to the other side. Keeps the wear to the blade equal on both sides.

I just received my first R 41 open comb. I will never buy another brand again. This open comb design is perfect. One pass. No blood. It’s not aggressive, it’s efficient.

Does anybody know ? Do shaving soaps expire ? Mine are a few years old, I shave twice per week or less and I bought a few pucks.

What do you do with the razor after you shaved? Rinse it down? Dry it after rinse? Take blade out? Use both sides of the blade? Cheers

How often should you change the blade?

Any tips for getting a closer shave out of a safety razor? I just bought one, and this is my 1st experience with a safety razor, and it doesn't seem to shave as close as a cartridge? I haven't nicked or cut myself or anything, but it just doesn't seem to shave as smooth.

Hahahaha i actually caught myself making the same faces as YOU were shaving. In the bowl: cold water, hot water, Luke warm water ?

What exactly did he shave?

dude you barley had any hair to begin with lmao

Okay. I have a big problem with this product and video. Firstly: the tutorial guy got the beard I would get after 8 hrs of sleep. nobody shaves like that - it's just frustratingly misleading. Secondly: I bought this, I got a good 4-5 days non-shaved going because I wanted to test this product. And wow was I disappointed; had to finish with my wife's legrazor and now my face is all cut up and it's Monday tomorrow. I bought the alum pen, also from Muhle, though and it helped somewhat with the legrazor issue so I guess I can recommend that. So there's a tip for you that is more worth than wasting 10 minutes on this. Gg from Sweden.

What frustrates me most about tutorials is the teacher tells us to take our time, then proceeds to zoom through their face in 3 minutes. Like watching a futball star teaching you to dribble at top speed This gentleman goes at a beginner speed

Oh and great for the environment! 'nuff said!

Best beginner blade?

Does buddy know its a double sided razor? Why constantly rinse one side lmao

Can anyone give me advice. I decided to get one of these razors, And on my first use, I've got a sub par shave, One I could do better with a standard cartridge razor, Red marks all over my face, Cut myself 7 times during it, And my face itches like fuck. Wtf do I have to do to get perfect faces like you see in the videos?

Can never get a close shave with mine? Even going over twice???

"Shit this seems so easy here, i all most lose half a liter of blood shaving like this". ;)

Much easier when you don't have any wrinkles...

I got so scared when he put the razor near the edges of his mouth XD

Is this guy shaving his skin?

Where is ur beard? 😂

The main problem of the Mûhle blades is the plastic box, which actually destroys one of the main advantages of using classic razors over cartridge razors. The general claim is that traditional razor blades, as opposed to multi-edged cartridges, do not pollute the environment with tons of plastic, which is, however, thwarted in the case of razor blades supplied in plastic boxes. The former Nazi Germany producers of Mühle obviously ignore the problem of plastic pollution.
