Safety Razors, TTO, 2 Piece, 3 Piece. What's the difference, what should I buy? 

I'm very new to safety razors and I was intimated to try them at first honestly. But with being in the military and having to shave every single day cartridges are just way too expensive. After using a safety razor I just randomly bought one day I'll never go back. 1. Hell of a lot cheaper. 2. You get a closer shave. What's better than that? But with that said I had so many questions and you answered them all. Great Video!

My dad used a twist to open razor, don’t remember which brand though but it was very sturdy even after decades of usage and he gave it to me later. I have also used it for quite some time. If maintained properly these go a long way

Ken, good video. I am at the end of watching 3 hours of DE videos. My first razor at 17 yrs old was a DE, given to me by the USNavy in bootcamp... now 62, realized how much I am paying for Harry's blades at $3/ea... good shave, but ouch! on the cost. After reviewing all, I've now decided butterfly-type razor (TTO) is best for me... only one thing to hold, no pieces to drop or lose with soapy slippery hands, safer when handling DE blades. I'm going with a Viking Blades Chieftan Jr... mainly because of the video on "Blade Alignment", and the no-frills but high quality mechanism. Blades, seems like Feather are best bang for the buck @ pennies per day. Forget the boar bristle brush + 19 other creams and lotions and spritzers... my Harry's gel-cream works perfectly, smells good and so easy to use. That's it... thanks to all!

My dad used to own a TTO razor. Sadly when he died, we couldn't find it anywhere. I guess he switched to cartridge razors and threw it out. I own 2 razors, both of which are 3-piece. I like the simplicity of a 3-piece razor. No moving parts and easy to clean.

Clicked on this video for information. Saw octopussy picture in the background. Liked.

been looking for this explanation!! Thank you

Amazing... There actually was a time with next to nothing in the background... You have come a long way oh Sifu!! 😀

Nice vid as always ken , i'm sure it helped a lot of new guys out . Guess whats just arrived... my att slant and that soap.. ill let you know my opinion on both sir ken of sunny california .

Nice job man. Love those TTO razors bro.

The TTO mechanism looks so sexy, but I understand that many of the popular modern DE safety razors are 3-piece and will probably get one of those safety razors as a beginner to wet shaving.

Been having fun with the Progress finding the pattern 5-3-2....4-2-1...etc that works best...the pattern I choose depends on the days I haven't shaved...but always ends with a 1 or 2 for that BBS shave

Smashing video ken When you said "wives will disagree" all u could think of was my wife saying "what more soap and creams why??" HA!! She knows nothing lol! No really my wife is very happy with my new found hobby at least im spending money on stuff that is usefull this time haha

Thanks for taking time to answer me, something I noticed some dont do. Are you on Facebook.?

If I can't find a Gillette Black Beauty in mint condition, what would you recommend I buy instead, new? Looking for an adjustable TTO of very high quality and a straightforward classic look.

You must be due for a splash of brut in a video. Paul H just done a short video on brut, interesting. Along with my skin bracer, Iv also imported clubman and lucky tiger aspen, love that staff, and that cool blue just makes it pop. Arko is another good brand, creams such adventure and cool are good, and the classic red. Owen in nz💈

Nice video thanks. Which tto would you recommend to a total newbie that won't break the bank, please?

LOL. My vote goes for the TTO Red Tip.

Have you ever use a electric razor before, and if not would you ever use one
