Most helpful, thank you. Lubricating also made it much easier to turn the dial to set the blade gap.

@rightsideupvt Год назад

The video that the internet has been waiting for!

@Icewolf81 Год назад

Thanks. Sy but that’s one of the best videos you ever made. 😅👍🏻 Best regards from Germany.

@UliWiethoff 2 месяца назад

Use dish soap with your razors, keep them away from acids. That is the best way to preserve your safetyrazor.

@geofatboy 2 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing

@Luciferhm634 Год назад

You inspired me to shave with a DE razor so i shaved today with my grandfather vintage slim hand gillette razor with an astra sp blade result was fantastic for the first use only 2 passes was enough big thanks for you ❤

@SteleaTube 11 месяцев назад

Great video! Can't wait to see similar videos for other adjustables.

@righteousredneck777 Год назад

On the threads of my DE razors I use a military grade gun oil. A synthetic gun oil. Mil-Comm gun oil. I use a few drops on the threads especially. Metal on metal with threads especially..its a good idea for lubrication and also to prevent any future rust. I've seen guys even put the heads of a DE razor into a small container with baby oil at the bottom. This keeps the blade from rusting and maintains a sharper edge for a bit longer

@Shaverboy516 Год назад

Excellent demo Geo, the one thing I learned with this razor is that the blade tray has to face a certain way otherwise it won’t calibrate back to the one setting. There is some text on the blade try I believe it says Merkur, that needs to be facing to the right when assembling the bottom portion with the line indicator facing you. I hope this makes sense and will help others who may encounter this when reassembling the razor.

@michaelswanson437 Год назад

Yup, agreed. I discovered the same thing. Best way to tell if you have the wrong direction is turn it back to setting “1”. Then squeeze cap and base plate together. If it moves, it is on backwards.

@ThomasSarantos Год назад

That's right. When the line indicator is facing you, the bridge or blade rest should say Merkur on the right, and Made in Germany on the left. If not, shaving is suicide.

@Shaverboy516 Год назад

@@ThomasSarantos Yes, you’re correct 👍🏻

@kcc1762 Год назад

Omg! I didn’t know that. I’m starting to think mine might be on backwards.

@Shaverboy516 Год назад

@@kcc1762If your setting won’t rotate to the one setting then you have to rotate the blade tray the other way.

I use Ballistol for service on my Merkur Futur 700. It works very well.

@SIGSOLO Год назад

Thanks, Geo. An other great and informative vid, as always. I've been a fan of your channel and content since Covid started. However, you state that you've made more than 500 vids. Wouldn't you say it's about time you learned to at us (into the lens) rather than past us and on the cameras screen.? Keep up the good work and Have a great day and have a great shave!

@Irish381 Год назад

I use a small amount of of Dovo Oil to clean my straight Razor and then I would wash the safety Razors in a jewelry cleaner with distilled water and dawn dish soap. Let them dry and then clean with Dovo Oil for additional cleaning lubricant and corrosion prevention. Thanks for the advice and insider tricks on Razor maintenance.

@eliasragi7472 4 месяца назад

Excellent demonstration. Thank you. Tip, learned from tweaking a Chinese copy: if you chop off (filing or with cutting disc on a mini drill) the tab sticking out of the circular bottom of the baseplate, the razor becomes more adjustable. The tab is a detent that limits the lowest setting ('1'), and it is possibly located erring on the "efficient" cutting blade-gap. But this may still be too aggressive for some. Removing the tab (detent) allows uninhibited rotation: tightening and loosening the top plate, for a more "customised" setting. In fact, this is the mechanism Markus have used on their vintage ebonite Merkur Progress. Caution is needed, however: I am working on a copy of the razor, and modification may invalidate any warranty.

@geofatboy 4 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing, but seems too extreme for a bit more aggressiveness. Not worth voiding the warranty.

@eliasragi7472 4 месяца назад

Thank you. I agree. In my case, however, it is for less aggressiveness - a narrower blade gap.

@hassyg4083 Год назад

you should do a video on cold water shaving. i found it stops irritation and burn with cartridge razor

@BartBuzz Год назад

Excellent demo. I assume mineral oil would be acceptable for lubrication?

@gloryboxxxxx Год назад

god bless you geo

@terrym1065 Год назад

Geo's Tech Channel...love it! Now about that electric motor installation on the Harley for instant acceleration? 😉 I don't have a Futur but plenty other adjustable razors and do the same with them using food grade mineral oil. Take care of your tools and they'll take care of you...

@flashytubeboredom.1796 Год назад

You should have mixed all three version of the futur parts together and made a custom version👍

@brianmccarthy1322 10 месяцев назад

Great video, BUT a word of warning from me. Make sure that the cap is depressed fully and that you turn that screw ALL THE WAY IN. Otherwise a razor with a reputation for being aggressive delivers a #6 shave in position #1 and gets increasingly insane as you increase the setting. Now that I have addressed that issue today I had a 3 pass shave for the 3rd day in a row with BBS results and no nicks or weepers. The beast can be tamed. The blade was an ASTRO platinum. All creames and magic potions from the masters at Proraso.

@steveramirez8270 Год назад

Wish I could get a smaller light top razor head and a longer handle, maybe a better grip too...

@aminkhashm Год назад

love your reviews. I Recently purchased Henson AL13 aggressive, Which is discontinued apparently. But I noticed from your videos and on their website there's actually a difference between AL13 aggressive and the titanium aggressive version. which is interesting to me. since you got them both, Would you kindly do a shaving comparison between Al13+++ and Ti22+++ please. Thank you.

@steveramirez8270 Год назад

My one and only is a discount Vander Hagen, my affordable razor looks very very similar....is it made for several companies....Going to shop with first and favorite Geo (the master) at Shave Nation, recovering from a Urolift at home now....the day after same day procedure, I am looking for a long handle safety razor, after 40+ years of curved handled disposables wonder if I can find a long curved handle...may not be safe, love Edwin Jagger, Rockwell, Hensen, and even Viking...but think I would most prefer a Rockwell long handle...this video makes me proud of my first safety razor design, but it is a little heavy...any comments? You should be celebrity, you are a great speaker, thanks for your content, hope money is good for you Geo.Hoping Jesus is blessing you...thanks so much for your great variety of videos and website....

hey guys and geofatboy, i’m in dire need of help. i’m 18 and have so many razor bumps/ingrown hairs on either side of my neck that won’t go away, I had them the entirety of my senior year. no matter how I shave they don’t seem to stop. what should I do to stop this? should I just not use razors on my neck? should I not shave until everything goes away and I get the ingrown hairs out? please help, I love shaving with razors but this shit is killing me 😂😂

You mean I can't use frog lube lol! Seriously I wonder if you could probably is a gun lubricant but it's food safe and it smells minty fresh lol

Works with the chinese clones (QShave, MingShi) too! Just take the advice about quality oil seriously, gents! I first used silicone grease as a lubricant, but it turned into a disgusting black gunk. Never again!
