Just shaved for the first time with the 39c and feather blade. Best shave I have ever had. This is my second DE razor. My first I got 54 years ago for Xmas from my mom. I needed a new one cause I gave mine to my son.

@Wittar7090 3 месяца назад

I recently purchased a slant blade from Merkur. I was worried about it being too aggressive. I have shaved with a safety razor for 10+ years but not with the slant. I plan to try it tomorrow. Thanks for assuring me that I would not slice open my face. 😃

Gentlemen there is only one product that Geo uses in every single video, no matter what.... can you guess what it is? It's the shave Nation Alum Stick... if you don't know what an Alum block is, I suggest you search it on RU-vid and then buy yourself one from shave Nation... best couple bucks I've ever spent in wet shaving!

@Diamondblade2008 2 года назад

Two months on after getting this razor and I can honestly say its one of the best razors there is. It is really comfortable and it just erases the hair! I like using it with the Nacet, Silver Star and the Wilkinson Sword blades. It shaves so close it takes a full 3 days for my beard to grow back.

Got mine three days ago. Merkur Futur with Feather blade is eficient and agresive, this one in eficient and very gentle to the skin.

@antiquegeek 8 месяцев назад

This is one of my favourite razors. I can put practically any blade in it and get a good shave. You see some posts about the "risks" of using a slant head razor but it has never been an issue for any user I have talked to. You cant daydream when using it but it is not out to get you. A go-to razor for sure.

@geofatboy 8 месяцев назад

Agreed, they require a little concentration, but it's not rocket science and the slants provide a nice shave.

Hey Geo. The 38C was my first DE razor, and I love it. But my new 37C, is the most comfortable and efficient razor I own. Doesn't matter what blade I use, the result is outstanding. Keep up the videos. You have been a solid supporter for our community, and I appreciate all you have done. Cheers

Obviously, everyone has always been impressed with your full 3 pass shaves, for sheer efficiency, speed, and hardly ever getting even the most slight weeper. However it is ultimately, your shave, and should do what makes you happy or just works best. Cheers

@OHBrowne Год назад

Geo, would you say this razor is good if you have sensitive skin? I’ve been DE shaving for a year now and I have one area of my face that seems to be quite sensitive - my right cheek. Often comes up a bit red and a few blotches/spots that come up too. I’ve seen some comments online that say the sledgehammer is good if you have sensitive skin because of the slant. Wondering if you agree? Or if you’d recommend something else? I currently shave with a ES Outlaw and I sometimes use a Timor for the 3rd pass. I always use a pre shave, I take my time lathering and use a balm. But still get the irritation and only on that area for some reason. Rest of my face is unaffected.

@karmo0 3 года назад

I have this guy's smaller brother the 37c. The only way I can make it work for me is by using a Feather blade, but the slant bar seems to dull blades quickly.

@imransuhaimi3522 2 года назад

Hello geo, for a boar brush, how do u remove the excess amount of water from ur brush? I know there are several ways to do it; some squeeze it out while other flicks the brush 2 - 3 times. I'm still new when it comes to using a boar brush, so I would like to know ur method. Thank you! 😊

@BrettzGaming56 3 года назад

IMO, a 6S is extremely smooth yet efficient. This is going to probably be rougher than a 6S. The Rockwell will probably feel more solid, as it is stainless steel.
