The Beatles' Favorite Razor - 1960's Gillette Slim Twist Safety Razor 

Great video! And yes that beautiful Rickenbacker hanging up there makes me extremely nervous! 😀 Have a good one!

Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby) Twist and shout (Twist and shout), C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on baby) Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)... Love the Beatles since I was a young boy. Need to get one of this razor too. Cheers

How's it's going ?) SINATRA LENON It was obvious that you would be a great fan of the wonderful Beatles, they were definitely a great band revolutionized at the time with their great musical successes, the safety razor incredible conservation. See you soon Mr BARBASOL !!!

As a guitar player I found myself looking over at the fiddle scared to death it was gonna fall. Looks like a really nice instrument!

My dad is a huge Beatles fan, so I grew up listening to them daily!

Help! album has to be my favorite. bought it back in 2009 when i was 9 years old. Sure takes me back to that time. The Beatles have always been and always will be my absolute favorites.

Yes you said it right thank you Sinatra i'm going to remember that in my life i'm your biggest fan ever

Palmolive shaving cream is a member of the hall of fame of shaving creams, It costs next to nothing, lathers extremely well, smells good and gives you an incredibly close shave.

When I listen to them, 95% of the time it's revolver and earlier. Love the live at BBC recordings too.

I name this video twist and shout. You twisted open that slim and shouted. Great video in respect of the Beatles. Andy from the uk.

I have fond memories of singing Beatles tunes on summer camp bus rides. They were always yellow school buses, so ‘Yellow Submarine’ was a great fit. Beatles were also a favorite around the campfires 🔥 at those camps. Great nostalgic shave!

That looks just like Paul H’s fathers razor Apparently he used Palmolive too.

Mr. Sinatralennon, Great video I'm a little younger than you, but growing up in the 80s I learned to love the Beatles, Lol my mom used to listen to them. George was my favorite I loved his work with them, solo and especially with the Traveling Wilburys. Favorite Beatles movie growing up was HELP I watched it countless times.💈

Watching this while the Beatles were playing in the background, "She Said, She Said" off the Revolver album.

I’m from Liverpool, I have to say, that accent was quite remarkable. Very well done.

I like it when you bring your “day job” to your shaving videos with the voices. A man of many talents.

Hey Brian! It's been a while, love this video alot, and appreciate, nice seeing some again.

Love the 325 in the background, the two channels collide (sorta). I just started safety razor shaving last week after 5 years of being plagued with razor burn after using cartridge razors, and had a great experience, first time I got bad razor burn and didn’t shave until later that week, but every time I’ve shaved since then I’ve enjoyed myself more and more, and done get razor burn at all, keep up the great work!

Tim Shull (who has a shaving channel) chose the slim twist as one of his 2 favorites in his 5,4,3,2,1 video.

As a scouser I can only smile and laugh when someone does our accent, I can't understand why people would get offended by such a thing. Great video as always.

Finally found the other channel took some searching but well worth it. Now I gotta binge over there lol.

I'm a Beatles fan too and can play some of there songs

It's also called " The Knack'' and came in White and blue handles. There in the tapered style you have and also a straight round barrel handle . Gillette wanted to capture a part of the cheap TTO market vs the Schick Krona. It was sold in a package as a FREE razor with a box of razors . Amazing.

Great Beatly shave, SinatraLennon, and great to finally see you rocking and rolling!

The Beatles are my favorite band as well, in that scene where they were shaving that was funny when John Lennon was in the bathtub, lol. I have wondered what they shaved with, I googled it and found this video.

Rubber Soul, Pet Sounds, Sgt Pepper, and Smile (sessions) are the greatest albums of all time. I wonder if there are any pictures of Brian Wilson shaving. More Ringo stories, please. Even if we’ve heard them a thousand times, let’s make it a million! Love that Rickenbacker!

So Cool that you Love The Beatles Music , thanks for sharing your music background Sir. Sinatra Lennon.

Just purchased a Slim twist(£10) from a antique shop whilst on a short holiday here in the UK, just cleaned it up, looking forward to trying it out. Cheers🥃

Im a Proud English Man. I Live About 20 minutes From Liverpool.. We Are So Proud Of The Beatles.. Liverpool Best City And Best Football Team In The World ! .. Brilliant Videos Mate.. i have just Started To Shave With A King C Gillette Safety Razor Its Brilliant.. Cheers Mate..

A Beatle safety razor, eh? I need to find one on eBay and on Etsy. 🇬🇧🎸💈👍😁

Found your guitar channel but I'll keep it a secret

I literally just got one in the mail today, it's an L3!!! Mine doesn't have the case, but looks just like it!!!!! Great shave!!!!

Hello good day! I'm from colombia and i love The Beatles and be shaving so nice day to day; but you make a history class talk about the shaving. Good job.

I live in the Beatles' home city, Liverpool. Thus making this video extra special!

Also in the movie George uses what looks like an Old Spice Smooth Shave cream, but I guess trying to find that one will be even harder than the palmolive

Great Liverpool shave

I have the united states version the black handle and yes it's a mild shave razor

I enjoyed this. I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I thought it was New York. I'm old though!

Good shave, good shave

Love your vid ‘s my dads claim to fame was he was the support band to the Beatles when they played in Rhyl north wales 1960’s , you have a great John Lennon accent you made me laugh , cheers to you from wales uk ( Denbigh Paul H country )

Gotta Wear Them BEATLES BOOTS when you do a Beatles shave🇬🇧

Hey SinatraLennon! Great shave and pretty entertaining story behind it. BTW you cannot buy Palmolive shaving stick in Europe anymore, it seems PaulHfilms bought them all, lol.

My family and I liked the Beatles song from 1960s.

🎶 Yesterday.....🎵

Just found your videos and I love watching them. They are very calming in these weird days 😂. Anyways, best wishes from Hamburg/Germany. When the Coronavirus is over, definitely come to this city, we have a lot to offer ;).

The Beatles are a huge part of my local history and will be for the rest of time! Great tribute to them SL with a classic shave. Cheers.

The Beatles hell yes what a band, great video

great and fun video as usual....cheers...Peter

One photo of the Fabs shaving has a setup with Tabac soap and aftershave, and George was apparently a big fan of Tabac cologne.

Very clean !

Fantastic video, if you can, show us your Beatle boots! Would love to see them. Also, where do you play in Austin?

speaking of your other channel. i've searched on/off for months, and nothing. i can find your name, your private twitter account, your wiki page and your work. but that youtube channel is a freaking mystery!

Hi SL. If I had a nickel for every time I listened to Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band I`d be a billionaire. Great were those days. Great shave. Thank you.👍

I recently acquired a brand new Gillette Super Slimtwist from the 70s on eBay. It's a good little shaver. On mine, the handle is black and is not as fat.

Great video, it is a good mild razor. I have the white and puprple colors, of these.

I became a Beatles fan before it was cool...for people who were born when John Lennon was already dead. John and I missed each other by a few months. I'm not a Beatles memorabilia collector, but I understand the appeal. I even understood the Japanese guy in the "My brace Face" video when he said: It's my obsession. -- Maybe the Beatles were greater than Jesus, who knows. The Slim Twist is probably not, but my Slim Twist (I have a 1974 with a blue handle) gives me a better shave than any Parker. It feels a bit rougher on the skin than a Mühle R89 or any similar contemporary closed bar razor, but I find it quite efficient. Handle is light weight compared to that of a Parker TTO or one of those modern stainless bathroom floor kickers, but for me, the head does the job anyway. I actually like the twist wheel over instead of at the end of the handle because I am less likely to twist it accidentally open when I'm doing a body shave, for which I sometimes hold the very end of the razor. -- For some reason, the Fab Four shaving with identical white Slim Twists is a symbol of the uniformity that came with the band's original image. Identical suits, almost identical mop tops, John Lennon did not wear glasses and no facial hair yet, unless you count sideburns as such. After 1966 or so, their outward appearance became increasingly diverse and it mirrored the individual ways they went. George was exploring Eastern mysticism, John and Paul married women who had a profound influence of them, released solo albums and Ringo...Ringo had blisters on his fingers.

Thank for the shoutout!

Awesome shave!

yes the Ricki 325 had me on edge. Heads up, looks like Gillette is finally releasing the 1960 fatboy replica.

Nice themed shave and very interesting story. 👍

The US version of the Slim Twist is known as 'Knack' and has a better dark blue handle that is completely round & tapered a little less than the Brit version. It's a mild razor, similar to the Schick Krona.

At 0:00 - I don't need this kind of stress in my life! At 1:55 - Fine, I'll trust you this one time but I'm not sure if I like it! Updated timestamp.

If watch A Hard Day's Night, George is using Old Spice Smooth Shave

I'm a huge Beatles fan, as well. I follow a couple tribute bands who tour here in the east. 1964 and the RAIN show. Any of your music videos posted? Did you watch GET BACK documentary on Disney+ ?

Till i sawwwwww herrrrr standinggggg there! Loll. Nice video. Well. Both that is. 😋😁👍🏼 Have you ever seen the Say,say,say video with Sir Paul and Michael Jackson? If you FF the Official video to about 2:43 you will see Sir Paul with what look's like an blue and white Rubberset brush. Also, the producer put himself in the video at 3:05 playing pool in the hat. 😁👍🏼💈✌🏼

I feel you, the only reason I own an Edwin Jagger safety razor is because I really like the Arctic Monkeys and they're both from Sheffield

Just got your reply to check out this video. Glad you're into music dude. You have any music vids? The elvis stuff is cool man. What's your favorite Beatles tune?

Haven't used my Slim Twist in ages.

Can you shoot the video of how to clean and sanitize used safety razor? Would be cool, in my country there is a "marketplace" called a Dry Bridge where they sell old soviet items and I've seen them selling vintage soviet safety razors, but they were heavily used and I brought one but dont know how to sanitize it, also i would love to send you one to test it out!

Hi SinatraLennon, what is your top 3 Beatles songs?

Hey Bob, nice video, GILLETTE Slim twist is very good razor. About music 1° FRANK 2° SIMON & GARFUNKEL 3° ABBA...and many others obviously...a big hug from COVID19 country. Ciao

Thanks for the great video and best regards from Germany ;-)

I was lucky enough to find a complete set with case, blades and paper in London in s flea market... for like 6 pounds

Nice guitar SL, you should have worn it across you while you shaved! The liverpool accent is pretty good also 😁

One of my favorite shavers! Can you do a Stones shave?

Sinatra ficou muito boa essa legenda

I got a slim twist white handle I got off my dad... Actually it was the razor that I started using that got me in to the rabbit hole that is DE razor shaving. Your liverpudlian accent almost had essence of mancunian in it. But not bad though. I'm waiting for you to perfect the Yorkshire accent.

gran vídeo amigo

See if you can find the barbasol lemon lime shaving cream on Ebay or Amazon. I haven't seen any in the store since about 2004 or so. I don't find any barbasol anymore except the original, soothing aloe, and sometimes the sensitive skin one. Never even see Pacific rush anymore. But if you get a chance, look for the barbasol lemon lime

Beauty it is...

I wonder why there were so many pictures of the Beatles shaving?

Damn! Great video... A simple, feel good video. That's why I like this channel - life doesn't have to be all shit, and bitching and moaning about insignificant shit. Sometimes a man just needs memories, a good shave and whatever happens after that.

You have an amazing accent 🤣 I see how you making a living now! 💸

Love the guitar 👍Phil from the UK

Dude, did you feature in a music video by a well known Texas band?

Funny thing is I remember the Rapid Shave

Fantastic video 👍

derby extara blades are best ive try with my safey rasor Blades and your recomand SinatraLennon for me ?

We can get Barbersol over eBay and i think even Amazon. When i looked it up it was around 10 Dollars. Not cheap but not like couldn't afford it...

Cool👍 Could you do Elvis shave as well? Greetings!

Nice razor.

Forget the concept album this is a concept shave.
