I’ve never seen someone that cares so much for his costumers like geo does! Normally I compare prices when I buy something, But I’ve never done that with shavenation because the fast shipment and quality service is worth every penny. Have a great shave have a great day!

Way to go Geo, another master class shave video. I think it's a myth to pair small razors with small hands. I have smallish hands and much prefer a longer razor, I believe I'm going to retire my 34c and Gillette Tech. Well maybe not the Tech.

I literally just bought this 2 weeks ago. Not bad. I find that my blades last longer with this razor. Maybe because the blade is more “exposed” = less shaving = longer lasting blades.

Hey Geo and thank you for the ton of information you provide to us about wet shaving! I'm new to this type of shave and I already got 2 Merkurs: the 30C and the 25C. Definitely better results with the 25C but I'm still looking. My problem is that my neck area is very sensitive and prone to nicks especially after multiple passes so I'm looking for an aggressive combination that will give the closest shave with fewer passes. Do you have anything to suggest?

@Phessington 4 года назад

geofatboy Hi Geo, the very popular video that you made 9 years ago was for the AS D1. The AS D2 was first put on sale in 2014. Also the razor in your video, has two large slots for the base plate. The AS D2 has three slots. I feel like Sherlock Holmes now. The conclusion is, you may want to make a AS D2 review video.

Geo! How does this razor compare in aggressiveness to the Rockwell 6C? Specifically, plate 2 of the Rockwell is what I use currently and I'm looking to purchase a comparable or slightly more aggressive open comb razor. Thanks in advance!

@aristeideskon.1147 Год назад

25c isn't aggressive, is efficient smooth open comp razor. Rockwell 6c plate 6 is more aggressive but less efficient! I have these two razors and always i prefer 25c!

@1basmatidrive 3 года назад

I’ve tried the 25C with many different blades and I find it beyond mild and very difficult to dial in the angle to get a close shave. It sure is comfortable but doesn’t give me a close shave. I think the blade exposure and blade gap must be extremely minimal. It does work well under my nose though.

@hardinmichael1981 Год назад

It’s actually rather mild for an open comb but it can be efficient if you have the right blade and get the angle right. It’s great for heavy growth but can also be one’s daily driver if you learn to use it correctly. I think the greatest thing about open combs is that the don’t clog easily. Some, like the Merkur open combs, don’t seem to clog at all.
