I once asked an aged barber (he'd been shaving men's faces for a living, for over 50 years) how he knew where to 'draw' the lines of a mustache or goatee. He told me he asks the customer to smile. He makes note of the lines on their face as they do. He would then work the edged of the hair so that it naturally continued and complimented those lines. It's not at all what I was expecting him to say.. But I thought that was a pretty cool answer, all the same. Everyone looks better with a nice warm smile! :)

Mrs Nick must be really happy to see the moustache back 🙄

@TheAndreastt1 7 лет назад

Awesome video, Nick! It looked like you were pretty confident with that straight razor. Good job. I might have to use my straight razor for a shave pretty soon. It's been about 2.5 months since I've used it, but this video has definitely inspired me to pick it up again.

@bretthopkins1475 7 лет назад

Sad to say I have been looking forward to this for days lok

@slave0zero100 7 лет назад

Finally I've been waiting for this video. Nice job. Should definitely keep the handle bar stash!!😄🤘

@daringlisson9353 7 лет назад

Awesome Shave Nick! I too shaved off my month of growth with a straight razor today and it zipped through it literally like a hot knife through butter. Even ATG was effortless today.

@theclinger 7 лет назад

Oh hell yes, this is the video I've been waiting for! Nick! Nick! Nick! Nick!

@jean-francoisgalipeault1037 7 лет назад

Hi, nice to see you back ! I will be watching you trying new stuff.

@jeffbarnett8173 7 лет назад

Another great video Nick! That straight really takes the hair off.

@punisher7473 7 лет назад

Gondolier is one of my favorite Soaps/aftershaves from PAA. But then I bought Speakeasy and it became my new favorite scent from them. All I can say is that it smells like a nice cologne. I wish I could grow a beard, I'm always clean shaven because my facial hair is patchy. I'm looking forward to watching your reviews of your new soaps.

@bheinatz1 7 лет назад

Dude, Nick... It was so satisfying watching that beard come off in those layers!!! I don't know why, but it gave me an extraordinarily fulfilling feeling to see! The 'stache looks pretty good; wish I could grow one like that. Though when you put the lather on, I think to go across the grain, the lather covered the handlebars, making it look like a shorter, regular mustache. I gotta say that one looked perfect for your face. The handlebars look like they're needing a leather hat along with them...if you know what I mean... Though it might be kinda cool to have everyone at work start calling you Dr Handlebar. "Paging Dr Handlebar. You're needed in the OR Dr Handlebar."

@Crens3 4 года назад

Awesome video, you inspired me to go out and get me a straight razor!

@jackapples1 7 лет назад

Hey Nick, ever realize how weird you look after a clean shave from a beard? I shaved recently after growing a beard and I almost didn't recognize myself haha

@afrog2666 6 лет назад

I used to keep mine growing, and after taking it all off (usually keep a doughnut), I was asked for ID when I was buying some wine hehe.. Don`t know if I look weird, but I DO look like I`m 12.. Probably not a bad thing when you`re 37 ;)

@prestonorrick3498 Год назад

@@afrog2666 I give my ID to cover the one taking the order. They can be canned in my area for not asking if you look young enough.

@jake31376 7 лет назад

Nice shave with the straight didn't look like it took much effort! I'm still learning to shave with a straight too and get small nicks like that occassionally. Still using my right hand for left and right. You've got the technique down!

@nikhilsuri99 7 лет назад

does blade exposure make a difference to a certain point? I'm like 5 shaves in with my "Blue beards revenge shavett and I know a staight razor can flex more to your face where with the shavett it's just you and the blade's sharpness (I'm using feather...absolutely love it! thanks nick) but does a staight razor still beat shavetts? and also do you get deeper cuts with the straight razor?

@TheDqwt 7 лет назад

Nick, are you planning on using the Muhle R41 again?

@euci3207 7 лет назад

you rock it like chuck "iceman" liddell mma , I enjoy all your videos, great stuff:)

@borisvandruff7532 7 лет назад

Nick, how is the protection from the lather from PAA soaps? I've been wanting to start using a straight razor but I want the right soap first.

@jaredhopper4713 7 лет назад

Hey nick are you interested on a blade renewer that's called razorpit for de blades heard it was giving guys months of shaves ..Like ta see a good review on one .. anyways nice video

@markonybelgrade 7 лет назад

@phddropout18 7 лет назад

Wow, looks like a carpet you're scrapping off on the first pass! Almost makes me want to use a straight razor myself!

@ordinaryman4751 2 года назад

Why everytime I shave with straight razor causing bleeding some area.

@LTT.Official 7 лет назад

Next up, clearing the stache with the Hawk. Great video Nick, to bad I can't grow a beard.

@ridgebringger6520 7 лет назад

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but how long should a shave take? From a safety razor. I find myself spending to much time and would like to time myself to get quicker

@ridgebringger6520 7 лет назад

In order to do that I need a time to get to. Got any suggestions? Love the vids.

@jwbbrunz 7 лет назад

Try High Jump 47 from PAA excellent scent

@Saloom98 8 месяцев назад

Why did you hold the blade in your left hand? Are there any advantages?

@kishenpankhania363 7 лет назад

I know u love PAA soaps, but there are just so many to choose from, what should I choose first? just about to finish a taylor of old bond street sandalwood tub and want to try a PAA soap

Kishen Pankhania Try CAD I have many PAA soaps, but CAD is the he staple aroma.

Your wife won't let you keep that.

@MichaelPace2.0 7 лет назад

When you shave with a straight razor (or even a safety razor with decent hair growth) does the blade cut smoothly, or does it take some effort?

@bheinatz1 7 лет назад

Michael Pace I have always found that longer whiskers make for a very smooth and easy shave,with very little tug or hair pulling. The long whiskers just get mowed down.

@JeppeHSchultz 7 лет назад

Every hair is still only cut once, so it feels somewhat the same in smoothness. But the hair gets mowed, and can even get a little in the way. Let the lather be in your beard for some 2 mins before beginning the shave, and the hair gets softer, I feel.

@bheinatz1 7 лет назад

JeppeHSchultz Great pro-tip. That or some kind of a pre-shave; anything that will soften and hydrate those hairs before shaving. Long facial hair, or short stubble, your preparation is paramount. Happy shaving!

@DuckNoire 7 лет назад

Ah I had hoped you'd shave that beard down with the R41.

@loebmazzetti2851 7 лет назад

One word on the moustache: awesome.

@irvingcarrera9994 7 лет назад

Trim it with clippers first a lot easier and will save wear on your straight.

@Stoeff1987 7 лет назад

Booooooo I wanted a DE shave! No worries, just happy to see you shaved again - the beard looked cool, but your contoured face is perfect for a clean shave!

@Stoeff1987 7 лет назад

OK, OK, I commented while you were doing your first pass, so I got my DE shaving at the end. But HOLY MOLY what the heck is the 80s porn star beard ^^ LMAO

@chrismitchell7198 7 лет назад

I always thought Gondolier kind of smelled like Axe as well.

@willcartershaves 7 лет назад

great shave man....you look better without facial hair.....lol.....nice technique and nice precision...you the man bro

@fukreynojawan2199 4 года назад

Great job but it is very hard to clean moustache....😀

@manelra 7 лет назад

Great Shave! You're right.. work with your straight more often, it will pay up, I can guarantee! I have the most sensitive skin and I now shave every single day with a straight (well... I had to switch from straight to a feather kamisori shavette, it's more practical and I do believe it's sharper)... BBS shave every single time! And I managed to take minimal time shaving that way in the morning, before heading to the office! it's my daily pleasure moment!

@jaquene9182 7 лет назад

Manuel Rebello de Andrade I've noticed the same thing, shavettes are more practical daily use and when you put feather blades in it feels much sharper than a traditional straight razor.

@manelra 7 лет назад

I was using a sanguine shavette with a bic blade... funny enough, when I switched to the feather kamisori, I thought it was less sharp. But I was wrong. It's just different. Very smooth really. But I have to admit that although it feels sharper than a straight, it is less forgiving. but more practical ;)

@sa1a5s 7 лет назад

Awesome shave, bro! It's a shame you don't like keeping the beard tho.

@shayan_ecksdee 7 лет назад

Waaaaaiiit... what happened to the game you always had on your office of having the funniest stache after movember

@irvingcarrera9994 7 лет назад

Please help me

@stephenlegg262 7 лет назад

I bet the tash will be gone soon.

@dinoquijote 7 лет назад

Geez that is a lot of passes

@marcbagwell6109 7 лет назад

Nick! What are you doing?! That's a cut throats razor! Where's the Merkur 34c? You know that I bought a Merkur 34c because of your videos. I love the videos, I learn a great deal from them. Thank you for making them, but I am NOT buying a cut throats razor. Sorry Nick, but this is one rabbit hole you're going down alone. :-)

Is it me or with his mustache he looks like a cop who drives a police motorcycle

@pkj77 7 лет назад

just an idea, you love shaving and love a beard....do an in between thing keep a Goatee, that way you have both the beard and the shaving :) you have enough facial hair to make a great goatee

@Poacher221 7 лет назад

you turned into Freddy Mercury

@Pingaheimer 6 лет назад

Tried the straight, couldn't get into it. I'd rather spend the time continuing to improve with the safety razor.

@tudorrenegade7052 7 лет назад

@MoudBarthez1 7 лет назад

now that was scary :D sounds like it was scratching your skin out of your face

@Cambaudio 7 лет назад

I like the stash but it looks a little bizarre with that haircut IMO. I'd take it all down to 1/8" with that killer biker stache.

@charlessamuel8243 4 года назад

Why is it important to hone and strop straight razor. Can't we just change blade when we find that it's not working efficiently? 🤔🙄

@alexbike01 7 лет назад

just by the sound, your blade is not enough sharp! make sure your straight razor is sharp as hell and you will enjoy it more and more! ;)

@afrog2666 6 лет назад

You know, a bit less Danny Trejo and more magnum PI would be a good look for you, good face for that classic stash..

@Darkninja282 6 лет назад

Its a short beard, it aint a five o clock or peach fuzz

@lordofgangstas 7 лет назад

Just FYI, Inox is pronounced in-ocks, not eye-nox - it's short for 'inoxydable', a French word referring to stainless steel More on topic though, damn if it ain't cathartic to watch a big beard get erased like that! Welcome back to smooth cheeks, Nick! :P
