How to Shave with a Straight Razor -- Be More Interesting (Pt. 8 of 8) 

There is exactly one video on the internet that gives me ASMR. This is that video.

There's something relaxing about this whole video

The barber's voice is soooooo relaxing. And I love how he dealt with the host's shit so well. I loved this episode.

The sexual tension in this video was unreal.

A guy named straight edge on a show sponsored by beer.

This was the best one of these so far. Max is much funnier when he isn't getting in the way of what the guy was saying, and this time he definitely got a chuckle out of me.

i like how they had a traditional barber conversation too lol

I actually laughed out loud on this one. I like this little series.

i really enjoyed this series, thanks max!

Straight Edge Kevin was so laid back and cool! And this was a strangely hypnotic video for some reason.

This is the last one of these? Bummer! I really enjoyed them. I'd like to see more, in fact. Good job, Mental Floss.

That was bad ass. That guy would be a dope barber to go to.

Awesome series! Please do more of these!

Love these. Keep em coming.

ya know, i'm actually gonna miss these "be more interesting" videos since this was the 8th of 8. its really cool to learn new things like this

I really enjoyed this series!

I don't understand why so many people are hating on Max. I think he's doing a pretty great job with the material he has to work with. I haven't really found any of the things so far very interesting in and of themselves, but I come back for more because of his interactions with the guests.

Can I shave my legs like this? I really enjoyed this series and I think Max is great! This guest had great chemistry with him and I think that made all the difference. You go, Max!

I loved this episode. I am really going to miss these.

There needs to be more of this! D: This is such an amazing series. Please put more out! I know this is 8 of 8 but... :C Please?

I like these videos and the host isn't bad. Just has a very different sense of humor.

Informative and entertaining...as always.

That was a really informative video. Nice.

He doesn't look half bad with that clean shave. I also love the dude that was shaving his face. He was hilarious.

That is one smart shave. Nice result.

Wow, that was pretty fascinating. Thanks.

usually watching people shaving gives me the heebiejeebies, but that dude was so relaxing that i didn't get creeped out by the razor... except for when max would start talking. while the razor was on his throat. hahaha

I'm so glad the shaving dude had a good sense of humor.

keep the series going!

I enjoy this series

This was actually pretty awesome. I've always wondered how this worked.

I love the host! He's so goofy, I feel like he'd be really fun to know in real life

Love Mental Floss, but pretty done with these men-only segments.

Haha, the end! "So is this what you do in the mornings?" "Oh, I use an electric razor."

I've replayed this video soooooooooo many times. I just need Straight-Edge Kevin to release an album. Frankly he could be talking about anything from baseball to the most economical hookers and I would listen/be soothed.

I would like to see this series continued.

This was so... relaxing...

That was awesome and really interesting, I should get one of those badger hair things.

I have watched this video over and over, only because the master barber Kevin has such a soothing voice...

Amen to that, brother. And I say that as a one-time webmaster for a bus company who had "pubic transit" sitting on the home page for a day and a half...

xD That clean shave really suits him!

I have that exact badger hair brush and bowl. Its great.

He is like one of those old barbers you see in movies that have a nice relaxing voice and own a small barber shop... just in young .

I love watching a man shave. I've always found it fascinating ever since I was little.

There is a part 7 it's in the playlist, but for some reason never showed up in the normal video list. It was uploaded on Oct. 2nd.

The best of the bunch

"Oh I use an electric razor" "oh, perfect"

I actually liked this one a lot better than the other episodes in the series..

This kicks that archery video, that tightroping video's asses. THIS is how you be more interesting.

Good question, I was just thinking the same!

Max, you clean up nicely.

That razor guy is bangin'.

Did you notice that the barber was the only one of the people in the videos who didn't hold a beer at the end?

Lol, this is the only gut badass enough to refuse to hold a beer at the end.

"is this pretty close to what you do in the morning?" "oh, I use an electric razor." hahaha, perfect response!

I liked this little series. The host has got a fair bit of criticism, but I like his sense of humor.

"No no...she's Anne Hathaway, she's doing alright." Man, that was a great laugh first thing in the morning, thanks.

I cant find part 7 of this series anywhere

This has always been my dream to have this done to me.

can i ask where video 7 is?

Can these tips be applied to other body parts?

Where does one buy disposable straight razor blades? He said he changed his halfway through the face

me + straight razor= slit jugular

Things ain't nobody got time fo: 1. Dat.

Great last ep

How long did it take? I don't have time for a 45 minute shave in the morning

AHahah the subtlety of the product placement is so hilarious

I actually found this entertaining

I like how he was the only guy who didn't hold the beer at the end of the segment.

"is this pretty close to what you do for yourself in the morning?" "...nah, I use ah electric razor." Lolz

That Barber is the coolest dude I have seen

Barber man has a nice soothing voice

I've been straight razor shaving for a while, and all of the sources I've dealt with have suggested three passes for the closest shave- with the grain, across the grain, then against the grain for finishing. Personally I find that my skin feels softer since using the straight razor- though this could have more to do with the higher quality shaving lather I use.

I want more videos with Max

I like this barber guy, he's got style.

If the videos are funded by this, then I'm totally all for it.

Max looked so much younger after his shave!!

Well done, sir or madam. Best is the simplest.

What happened to episode 7?

I seem to have missed numbah 7. Any news on that?

This barber is a boss

Woo! The barber didn't hold the beer at the end!

what happened to part 7?

This is pretty interesting.

How long did it take?

Does "part 8 of 8" mean we're not going to see these anymore? That is overwhelmingly sad. More Max, please!

shaving legs and or the under regions?

Damn! I thought this was going to be the final episode when Max Silvestri gets his throughout slit Sweeney Todd style!

its about procrastination, its a very good way to be more interesting :D

What happened to part 7?

Do more of Be More Interesting

Max: "Are there people that tell your future by your beard?" Kevin: "I'm gonna punch you if you don't shut up."

same here but I have never seen a place that offers this service

I'm actually gonna miss these...haha

Lol that ending!

I use a safety razor and a badger hair brush for a wet shave, I keep a 'mach 5' for emergencies, or if I've get way too much time or no money and I need the back of my neck shaved after allowing a trusted friend cut my hair.

So, no part 7?

I want to know how long it took from beginning to end...I don't have 45 minutes to shave my face the legit way in the morning

Thats nice and all, but when I've got shaving cream on my face, I can't "stretch" the skin. It just slips because there is no grip.

What happened to Part 7?
