Parker 99r and Frank Sinatra's Favorite Aftershave 

Another great shave. I really enjoy watching another grown man shave. Weird, but oddly satisfying. Thanks brother haha

I bet that aftershave is as cool as the Summer Wind. It might be good to wear, when meeting Strangers in the Night. By the way, that photo of Frank shaving with the safety razor was from 1965 -- It Was a Very Good Year.

Love your videos👍👍

i recently started using a safety razor and your the reason, thank you for teaching me!

My son bought me the Parker 99r for Christmas. Love it!...an awesome razor. You should try the Parker 94r. Great shave as always.

Wow! The realist guy on RU-vid! Thanks for another solid video!

Great video really enjoy them!

7:54 This would have to be the best cliffhanger in the history of recorded Media. I’m so excited!!!

Love this razor, been using it for almost 10 years.

The bic chrome platinum is all Ive used now for 5+ years . Theyre perfect for my face . Im glad you like them because i want them to be bought and made so they dont go away :)

I love Bodyshop Macca Root shaving cream. I've had a couple of tubs of it. And it lathers well and smells amazing. They also make quite a nice synthetic brush. Which in the recent holiday sales I got a tub of Macca Root shaving cream and a brush for only £8. Absolute Bargain.

Like how you went right into the shave with the gifts from your mail call. Btw, that vintage aftershave The Boss preferred is definitely boss.

Love your videos! They inspired me to start shaving with a safety razor. My stubble is pretty light but I have quite sensitive skin so I still suffered no end of problems with cartridge razors. Yardley are still going strong here in the UK, I use their colognes sometimes. Keep up the great work!

Thai is the language of Thailand. Dang, I was there 4 years ago and scoured for shaving stuff. Got 100 Feathers for like 15 bucks. Sold them to my barber because I did not care for them. Did not find any razors except for a plastic disposable shavette by Hai. I think that means shark in Japanese. I lived there for 2 years. Mostly cartridge stuff there. Now I'm talking Bangkok, Chiang Mai, smaller markets. The market is where I got the Feathers. My son is Thai, so we'll probably go back and look some more. ขอบคุณมากคุณเชียง that means, thank you much...mr. Jim

Interesting that a guy from Thailand sent you a Body Shop product when it's a British brand 🤔.

I'll put this Parker 99r in my wish list. It looks great. Thanks for the video

Oh, yes, Maca Root Shave Cream and calming Maca Root after-shave clear gel. Wonderful stuff!

BIC blades after a few shaves are sharper than Feather blades. They stay sharp for longer. Great blades.

I like the Parker 99R and the fact it has a longer handle. It's a little more aggressive than the Merkur 38C I have although I've used different blades in them. The Derby Extra with the Parker and the Merkur Super blade with the Merkur. I feel very safe with both of them.

Love that burn

Bic Blades are very good I use them regularly made in Greece

I have now shaved with this 3 time I was interested as it has a twist opening I have good razors R41 R76 great razor but this was a challenge and it was so good I will use it time and time again

I shaved with a cartridge razor until I was about 20 then I tried my first safety razor... the rest is history

Wooow.. awesome!!!! Nice job Man... Regards from Buenos Aires

You and kevyshaves are two most entertaining people in youtube wet shaving. Parker is doing india some proud.

Now thats a shave video A bit of a surprise with new gear Love the history of ol blue eyes

Holy I live in Thailand!! That is great seem like I am not weird person anymore. I am 22 yrs old and only the person using safety razor. All my friends using cartridge razor.

Parkers a solid product! Great shave man!

Thanks for sharing and so cool to see you stropping straights. Hopefully, it won’t be another bloody shavette experience 🤙

This was my second de. Requires a soft touch because it can be a little aggressive. It is a great razor with excellent quality and weight. Great vids, btw.

Nice Picasso!

Awesome shave enjoyed it

Sinatra I have to ask a technical question? What is a Rubber Doohickey? LOL 😂

The difference between the black/silver and the yellow feather blade packs is the former is a 5 pack and the latter is a 10 pack, that's all. Parker butterfly razors are the best of the cheaper butterfly razors, without a doubt. I've got a few and I do like them, great razors!

I bought one of those brushes from West Coast Shaving and love it.

Sinatra Lennon should be declared a national treasure.

Love the video as usual! Could anyone kindly identify the painting at the beginning?

Great shave with the 99R. I've got one and find it a little on the aggressive side - too easy to get the odd nick/cut. Which I can't accept on a work day so the DE89 is best for me. The 99R is another great product from Parker and at a great price. Thanks for the videos, always excellent.

BiC Chrome Platinum start out sharp, and seem to be sharper on their second and third uses. Some say they are sharper on their second use than a Feather on the first use.

Amazing video

I had that Parker before, nice, n i love them BIC's too, smooth. MacaRoot is known to b very slick.

great video as always

Used a Parker 94r this morning along with the Body shop Maca Root shave cream. I find that Maca root cream to be really good, lathers great and super slick. They've actually replaced it with a new formula in the UK and added in Aloe Vera, haven't used the new formula but heard its not quite as good. Great shave.

Looking forward to knowing about those Thai super thin blades.

What a fun video! (I would agree that the Bic is a nice blade, the Parker a nice razor.) Loved the Sinatra stuff--I read both volumes of James Kaplan's bio of him, and I don't read two volume bios of just anyone. I have to point out that in the first picture he appears to be using--quelle horreur--an electric razor, but sure enough, he's enjoying a morning donut with the aftershave behind him. Thanks for the vid!

Very nice!!

Great package! What about a video about the best shaving kits in amazon? Those that includes shaving razor, brush, soap and a bowl? Keep making great content!

"Like Vegas in 1955" - 👍 Greetings from Nevada.

I have some Arko on the way as well. It will be the first shaving soap I try.

Macca is a root from Peru. Yes it's available in the US. Are those bic blades made in Thailand or Greece. Those Gillette thins should be nice...... I clean the razors w dish soap and brush dry em. Then douse them w alcohol. Cheers mate

Parker 99r made in India look good

i like razors too Sinatra Im Jeffrey. i shave every day i get haircuts once a month im a lonely guy thanks for the videos i use electric razor s and disposable razors. i go get a haircut and i do it myself once a month

good video

I personally enjoyed the other brands from Gillette and discontinued Barbasol after shave balm, because I won’t have an issue from flammable in it.

I lost my recipe for boiled water. Grandma had a good one, no one made it like she did.

I bought a 99r about a month ago, lovely razor for £20.

Picked up a bunch of Gillette Super Thins at a flea market some years ago; probably the most scratchy and uncomfortable shave I've ever had with a DE blade! Hope you have better luck with 'em.

I don’t have it yet, but I always wanted the Parker Varient adjustable .you should check it out And I only have one brush , it’s my synthetic tuxedo knot I got for like 30 bucks

Great shave man. The language on the packaging is probably Vietnamese since it's near by.

Awesome

How's that bottle of whiskey I sent you doing?

In regards to boiling, I personally don't recommend putting the razor IN the pan that's boiling the water. If the razor is sitting on the bottom of the pan it will see MUCH more heat transfer due to he heat from the stove, through the metal, TO the razor will be higher than 212deg. I put my razor in a hot water safe dish, then poured boiling water on top of it.

Forget the package, what's up with that painting?👍

Btw a lot of ppl say the 99R is a pretty aggressive Razor for a closed comb. I didn't use mine yet . Would you agree that it's an aggressive Razor? I think with a lot of people mean that it's a medium aggressive razor or just above medium. Either way with a good sharp blade it looks very efficient looks like the whiskers are coming off effortlessly

I just got a 99R as a surprise gift from one of my Shaving buddies. I had no clue it was going to be inside the package he was sending

I've heard Frank Sinatra used Creed Bois du Portugal later in his life. Creed created Bois du Portugal for Frank, or in his honor or something.

I have a question what’s your opinion on the new Gillette ad that people are going crazy on?

gorgeous razor similar size as "merkur slant 39c barberpole sledgehammer long handle nickel 2 piece twist to unlock" razor

I read before that Sinatra liked Yardley English Lavender and when it became unavailable or hard to find, he switched to Antonio Puig Agua Lavanda. As cologne. Not saying he didn’t use this aftershave. Just in case you want the full Sinatra smell.

Tony Rome/Lady in Cement rule!

Hey have you ever used '4711 original cologne'? A friend just gave me a bottle. Lovely scent.

Interested to see what you think of arko shave stick I daily shave with it

Frank Sinatra?? Is so that’s cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Are you related to Sinatra?

I bought it yesterday, but I haven't used it yet. Is it good or no🤔

I'm new to the game.. Any stuff you wanna send I'll gladly pay shipping.. My wife said I can't spend any more money because I just bought a dovo lol.. If your serious just let me know how to contact you

99% isopropyl alcohol is good to soak in as well👍🏼

I’ve seen you use this Parker 99R in quite a few of your videos. Have you used any other Parker razors? I’ve been looking at the 26C because it’s open comb and was wondering how aggressive it is compared to this and compared to the Merkur 34C (not sure if you’ve don’t a video with that one or not).

Do a straight razor tutorial pls!!

@SinatraLennon, When Frank switched from Yardley's, he used Agua de Lavanda Puig

You used a BIC blade in your very first video 😉

Purchased my third fatboy. The fatboy market isn't super kind the prices vary between $60-80 right now. If you add a case, the price easily goes up by $70-100

Hey mr. Lennon ... I sport the beard but my neck grows pretty far down would you recommend the safety razor to take it off or would that be over kill and should I just use the good old disposable ones?

I am a bit confused between Parker 99R & Bombay Shaving Company razor. Since you have used both, pls suggest which one's better as both are almost equally priced in India. I have shifted to DE razors since around a month & used the Gillette's 7 o clock plastic to just give it a try. Been on Gillette's fusion 5 blade cartridge razor till then & was never happy with lining up. So shifted to DE.

Straight razor??(;

Hi SinatraLennon😀. I don't think boiling is a good practice. It can damage certain platings more easily. Even if you don't have much plating on it use soap like dish washing ones and a old tooth brush. Don't washing razors very often. Maybe once a year if it is plated. If it is stainless steel then you could do it very often as they don't have platings and are very strong.

Thanks for another great video! Isn’t the language Tagalog?

After looking at those pics of ol blue eyes ...it's either a gillette slim adjustable or fatboy...by the width of the handle alone I'd bet on it being the fatboy AND another pic of the shaving cream he used was none other than....wait for it....BARBASOL. ..clearly by the stripes coming from the top....so you've been using Sinatras shaving gear of choice all this time...well done!

SinatraLennon, I've always used cartridge razors, but I've finally used a safty razor and I'll never go back to a cartridge razor again can you please advise some good shape blades that last at least 3 or 4 shaves?

All aftershaves like that I feel like smell like old people. Any good recommendation that don’t smell like old farts

I can't find the Yardley anywhere ! :(

It is cool 😎 SinatraLennon 🤗 in cool 😎 aftershave my friend 👍🏻 very nice shaving my Friend 😉 very nice 👍🏻 shaving Queen 👸 my Friend 👏 😃

Would you recommend this razor for a beginner? Also what razor blades, i've heard you say that the Feathers are really sharp and unforgiving would ASTRA be a good starter brand?

I’m not going to send you anything, but if you ever come to Chicago lunch is on me.😀 P.S - Sally Beauty Supply sells Barbicide in their stores.

What safety razor would u suggest to start out with for the first time ?

👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

You might wanna frame the letter from your friend

I'm more of a Dino fan than Sinatra

It is a crying shame that companies like Yardley reformulates the most wonderful products to useless junk. I know nothing about this 1950s Yardley labender but the formulation in the 1960s was the greatest. I could not get it in the early '70s so the salesman at John Wanamakers suggeststed the CARON Pour un Homme line that I have been devoted to ever since. Now I am disgusted to discover that Canoe has been corked.

Thats thai on the razor
