Top 10 Shaving Products! 

I love this dude, so many good tips for shaving and for general grooming. His store is fantastic, many items that are hard to find in stock in other places, shipping is stupid fast (I had items shipped in less than half an hour after checking out), the employees write a nice note (by hand) on the receipt, and send a nice gift on every box (I LOVED the hand towel).

Congrats on 11 years of ShaveNation! Always happy to buy from your business!

Great geofatboy Over 10 years of video tutorials Blessing's

Hi Geo, I’m considering using a DE razor for the first time ever at 72 years old, it’s been a hell of a journey from the Marine Corps to civilian life and always using a cartridge style razor and I’m sick and tired of paying ridiculous prices for cartridges. I have ultra sensitive skin so I’m relying on you to steer me to a razor and blade that may work for me. Your site is awesome and I’m a subscriber thanks in advance. Frank

Congratulations on 11 years. Here's to many more.

After trying a variety of products, I always keep coming back to the Muhle R89 Twist, Proraso Blue, Feather blades and TOBS sandalwood. Great recommendations

04:05 "glide this over your damn face". I know Geo said damp but I'm just a funny guy.

Hi Geo- Great favorite shaving products video; thank you! And thank you for 11 years of great videos! Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Geo!

Congratulations on your 11th anniversary...keep up the great work!!!

Great Video! Just started wet shaving and your videos have helped me a ton. Thank you much!

R41 is one of the best safety razors. Open comb and aggressive. Such a close shave!!

THE BANDANA IS BACK!

Muhle R89Twist my favorite razor!!!!

Congrats Geo 🤙🏼🤙🏼 Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷…all the best 🧿

You're really awesome dude,thanks.

A video about after shaves will be great in terms of themes!

Congrats on 11 years Geo! Got my first Shave Nation order that year; EJ DE89, Proraso Pro Brush, and Lrg. Proraso cream. You're still my go to for products and shaving advice, inspiration, and entertainment. Thanks for still hanging around and setting the bar... Top of the Class!

Hi Geo, You were going to do a video on the main differences between aftershave and cologne. Also why is the cologne always 10% more expensive than the aftershave? EG Tobs Sandalwood aftershave is $40 Vs Cologne $45.

I wish you many more successful years. Greetings from Greece ;-)

A back shaver? Now I've seen it all. I had no idea.

Tobs is the best

I congrats Geo on 11. Cheers Bro, 🍻

Geo great content! Would you consider doing a review on the irvin shavette? I'm interested in one but need advice from the man himself, I brought the parker razor after watching your video, stay blessed 🙏

Have you done a review on the van der hagen safety razor?

Hey Geo, need some advice on a great razor. I'm looking for something that's just as efficient, if not better, than the Muhle Rocca razor you recommended 3 years ago. I love how baby smooth my skin gets with a Feather blade, but it's a tad aggressive. Tried many blades like the Astra, Nacets, and other smoother blades, but I'm having a hard time with the aggressiveness on my cheeks and chin. What's a good alternative I could look into? The first few razors I had in mind were the Muhle R89, Feather AS-D2, and Henson AL13. Is the R89 still your go to favorite razor? Should I look at something else? Thanks!

Could you do a luxury shave with the most expensive gear available at Shave Nation?

Head shaving demonstration with a safety razor 😉

Hi Geofatboy Your favourite safety razor?

Yo!

Wuts with the duct tape on the forehead?

Congrats on 11 years, Geo!! Your videos gave me a lot of insights on the wet shaving world. I intend to buy a slant razor in 1-2 weeks time from your shop, can you do a vs video between the Merkur 39c and the Parker semi slant? Have a great shave... Have a great day 😊

my Simpson T3 Trafalgar is the best brush on the market today it's like buying a $200 badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a badger hair can, cheap to buy, i have owned it for 5 years with no problems wheelchair Larry.

Congratulations Geo on SN 11 years in business! 🍾🥂

Congratulations ! Eleven years of Great service. I had never heard of Taylor’s of old Bond Street, until I started to watch your videos. The funny thing is, I live in London, England. Take care Geo.

I’m still learning so much about shaving from tutorials like this, keep up with this kind of thing Geo! Very helpful for me and even more so for newbies to wetshaving!

Such a underrated channel, glad I stumbled upon it. you bros been in business since I’ve entered high school! I’ll be buying most of my shaving needs from shave nation from now on. 🤘🏻

Congrats on 11! I started 11 years ago with DE shaving took a hiatus u til earlier this year and you are still here along with Mantic59. Quite an accomplishment bro. I am surprised no shave nation bowl but I appreciate the bandana. Have a good one as one of the original traditional wetshaving OGs. Your story is awesome and inspiring for Americans or anyone. Keep it up.

Hey Geo.. what’s your international freight rates like. For example to Australia ?

Can't believe I only found your channel last year wish I had found it sooner. Here's to eleven years and here's to even more congratulations!

Top ten aftershaves.

How about 3 or four best USA DE razors for everyday or every 2 days. Mid aggressive. No Newby razors. $150 or less. No adjustable. North American made also, same criteria.

Thanks for the video, question is there a video on the Boker butterfly Shaver?

@8:00 i really though it was a joke haha.

I’ve almost only exclusively used TOBS cream since I’ve started shaving. A few other creams at the beginning about 8 years ago for me, but about 95% of the time TOBS for sure. It’s been fantastic every shave.

Hello Geo, thanks for the new one. Here are some ideas for new vids: Please make a thorough tour of your store. Maybe two or three parts. Make a video of an order process from A to Z. Make some videos of your team. Who makes what, how is their day in the company.? Visit your local suppliers and make some videos about the production process. Please make some videos of weird shaving supplies. Make some tests of shaving creams and soaps. Any trouble shooting known about shaving supplies? If yes, a video can be made. A video about maintaining your shaving supplies as a fresh up. What about a monthly news video about shaving stuff and new innovations as a teaser for future testings. Maybe a video about long term relatability of certain shaving stuff. How to extend the life of your brush, straight razor or DE razor? What about a long term test? How long can a blade last? Do you think is is feasible to make videos of the shave dens of you fans. Maybe they can send you good videos. Q&A videos. Your youtube subscriber’s have questions or need tipps and you answer them in videos. Do shaving supplies fairs exist? Maybe you can make a walk around video. What about a video about comments regarding your videos? So thats all that came in my mind. Hopefully you can adopt some of my ideas. (sorry for my grammar.) have a great time. Werner from Germany

Congratulations, My daughter married an Italiano. Enjoy your enthusiastic videos.

Hey Geo, could you please review the Leaf Twig razor. Thank you in advance !

Ideas for a video. How about comparing straight razors. I know you’ve got different sizes on the website differnt grinds etc. i would be interested in a head to head. You don’t need to talk badly about one either you can compare there postives and negatives. “This one is better if you’ve got really dense beard growth or better for trimming up etc.” yeah i remember i asked my grandpa if he had a safety razor after watching your video. He had a gillete little boy adjustable if I’m not mistaken. Still got it but now that i’ve got a colection I’ve got options. Still i would never sell it. Keep it up geo.

I recently discovered my new favorite DE blade, after having tried dozens including most of the biggest names. It's my favorite, and is on the low end price-wise. It's Lord Blue Sword. GeoFatBoy, if you're reading this, have you tried the Blue Sword? I can't find it on your website.

Enjoyed the video thoroughly! 11 years is indeed a long time. Keep it up Geo. God bless you ❤️❤️ Dr. Basu ( India)

Lmao I lost it when I saw the big razor for back shaving.

Congrats, love your videos. I would like to see a Irving Barber Company (IBC) shavette review, I've searched for one on your channel. Greetings from Denmark :-)

Is your store a walk in store?

Enjoying your videos. Looking to order some items and would like to know if the brush & shaver stand will accept a Simpsons T2 brush and a Henson shaver? Thanks.

East or West... Geo is the Best! :), I'm not sure why I never subscribed to you sir, but I have been a long time follower of yours. Oh and I always "clear the runways" :)

Geo, I always wanted to make a shaving video, maybe during Halloween, where you are demonstrating a straight razor and accidentally cut your jugular vein and bleed to death from the neck. I don’t think this is your style, but I’d love to see someone do it.

Have you considered opening an Amazon store? I get a ton of free Amex membership points that I can spend on Amazon, but not if I come to your existing website. 🤷‍♂️

All excellent products Geo. I love them all although I won't be buying that back razor thing. All the best for the next 11 years!

Just got my first R89 style razor, King C. Gillette. It really was a worthy investment and I cannot get enough of it.

Some of the shaving products are really awesome in billions of ways

Congratulations on 11 years!

I would love to see a review of the Dovo Bismarck straight razor. Thanks for the amazing videos!

I didn't expect to see the Henson up there! Is it really that good? Like better than any Merkur, Edwin Jagger, Rockwell or Parker that you've seen in the last 11 years? There seems to be very divided opinions about the Henson DE and a lot of people dislike it or call bs on the whole hype from what I've read. I've only just started watching your content a few weeks ago, but I'm curious to hear more about what makes it so much better besides the friendly angle? Cheers!

Congrats on the 11 years.

you should review the cheapest double edge razors on amazon, and by that i mean actually use them then criticize them

from where do you have the neck bracelet? looks cool

Yea...got a question...I can't find Brush Stand. I have a lot of Brushs and no stands

And he chose streetglide over roadglide!

How is the full line of paraso shaving line - pre shave, shave cream and post shave balm, all in a shave to see how it works as a combo set

Congratulations on 11 years of being in business and delivery of great shaving products and wonderful videos on how to use them!

the 10 COMMANDMENTS for PREVENTING RAZOR BUMPS & INGROWN HAIRS 1. THOU SHALT NOT USE DIRTY BLADES! Avoid shaving with dull, over-used razor blades. And be sure to keep your slightly used tools as clean as possible. Scrub the cutting heads of your tools with soap, hot water, and rubbing alcohol to destroy bacteria. Pro Tip: even brand new blades still need to be cleaned. 2. HONOR THY DELICATE SKIN! Avoid too many blades! If you are prone to ingrown hairs then you don’t need 3 or more blades. More blades equal more passes causing the hair to fall beneath the skin and become ingrown. Plus, more blading the skin leads to micro cuts through which bacteria is more likely to enter and this leads to razor burn. 3. DO NOT TAKE PREP TIME IN VAIN! Wash or steam the skin for 2 to 3 minutes with warm water. Then apply the shaving cream leaving it on for at least 2 minutes to really soften the hair. 4. THOU SHALT NOT GO AGAINST THE GRAIN! Shaving against the grain (upwards) may get you a closer shave but doing so also increases ingrowns. Shave in the direction of hair growth…it’s usually downwards. Confirm this by doing a face/ body inspection to see which way your hair grows. 5. THOU SHALT NOT PRESS! Avoid pressing too hard on the skin with the blade. If you follow STEP #3, then a gliding, light touch is all you need. The hair stubble should literally fall away with little or no pressure from the blade. Pressing hard is the main cause of shaving irritation! Be gentle so as to prevent the hair from being cut so low that it falls beneath the top layer of skin. 6. THOU SHALT NOT PASS, PASS, PASS! Avoid too many quick passes with the blade. One pass per hairy area - going 1-2 inches downward at a time - will prevent ingrown hairs. Always shave like you might cause damage, not like you’re mowing the front lawn. 7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT OVER SHAVING! Avoid shaving too often. This rule is hard to follow, especially if you have to be beardless for your job…but if you are prone to ingrowns, try hair removal with electric clippers (the barber kind of clippers). The results are not super close but no one but you will know the difference. Provided your skin can handle these alternatives try waxing, depilatory, lasering or an epilator. 8. THOU SHALT NOT CLOG! Avoid using skin/pore clogging creams or lotions since they keep hairs from growing up. After a shave, keep your skin bare; let the tiny army breath, and allow those newly shaved, microscopic hairs to grow out just in time for the next shave. If your objective is smooth, bump-free skin following a shave or wax, then right after hair removal allow the skin to heal first. Promote healing by proper shaving techniques followed by 70% rubbing alcohol which kills any bacteria that may enter those micro cuts created from the shave and prevents the onset of razor burn. Sure your skin will be a little dry at first but this is a temporary tradeoff. Wait 2 hours then moisturize. 9. KEEP THY SMOOTH SKIN FREE! At least for the first day or two, try to avoid tight fitting clothing around the Adam’s apple (neck) and/or below the waistline region. Newly shaved hair follicles need room to grow up. 10. REMEMBER TO EXFOLIATE! Whether you shave, sugar, wax or epilate, not enough exfoliation to remove excess layers of skin can lead to ingrown hairs. There are two types: chemical exfoliation (AHA, BHAs) and physical exfoliation (beads, coffee scrubs, gloves, brushes). Exfoliators like the WIZKER brush have soft and firm bristles. When you follow these 10 tips religiously, you’ll prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs permanently!

Congrats Geo, my first shave was with a Muhle R89 Twist, feather blade and TOBS sandalwood cream 👌🏻🇦🇺

I also use R89 daily. Perfect razor in my opinion. Great video as always

Wow it’s been eleven years. Thanks geo. I know you get it all the time but your videos years ago taught me the proper way to shave.

Great video, congrats on the 11 years! Here's an idea of you haven't already done it: On a standard 2-3 day stubble try a mild razor on one half and an aggressive razor on the other both with everything else the same. And then discuss whether you can get similar result with less passes?

Hi geo I have scars under chin and neck what’s best to use for razor

Congratulations on 11 years!! I've learned a lot from you!

how about you make omega evo vs simpson chubby 3 synthetics

I think that back shaver is the perfect size to shave my bawls.

Geofatboy u rock

Nice and congrats🎉

Backblade is a great product, however, their refills get bad reviews because they are only good for one shave. Recently they've been out of stock for a while, so hopefully they have improved the quality of the razors. They are too greedy so the have sealed the razor head so you can't replace the blades yourself and have to buy their expensive refills. Broshaver allows you to replace the blades yourself, however, I still prefer the Backblade. I just wish they use more quality blades like Astra that will last at least 4-5 shaves per refill.

I got a homepage and my orders goin here in north sweden, i have one that makes razors by hand and i got alot of the famous gear like the futur and merkur and the others for less than half price. But i think i have razors that can use shark stainless and chrome version and do one single pass on my thick thick beard and head too and one single pass is enough . I rarely have to do two , i think alot of the razors are just not close enough and the blade is the problem when using like voskhod on my italian super hd csr i just are fine after one pass and with merkur i need like 3 with a feather blade. There are so great safety razors from india and china too coming that kicks serious ass and razorock tries to copy them and alot of others too but just dont come close to the same crazy good shave. And im all in for the soaps that have oil in them for thick hair growth i like the northen lights and north star razor also the mellon razor and with the swedish de blades there is closer shaves and sharper blades than feather for sure , i would pick Kai blades , Personna lab blue , Gilette rubie plus, Merkur super platinum , Personna platinum (germany),Wizamet super iridium ,Matgicol Swedish steel platinum blades , Polsilver super iridium blades, Razolution (germany made blades), Timor stainless , all of those blades works better for me than feather . Feather and not as smooth either as those for me, i recomennd the shark chrome first and the most get the best and closest shave with my razors and one pass are as smooth as you can get also there is zero need for balm with the right soap with oils just warm water and rub it in the skin loves that in winter. There are alot more better shaving than merkur and edwin jagger and the others now , and why would you use a razor than need so many passes? And like the Futur thats a big scam , that razor is from china and cost 8dollars and they have better versions than that one. Zaqi razors have released some crazy good ones but i got my handmade ones that will be awailable this year . My prices are so low on ALL of the products some soaps are 1 dollar , a 100 pack of shark for 4 dollars and the razors never over 40 dollars . Brushes from 5 dollars to 15 badger white top and special made ones for everyone . The new shavette stuff coming out will be hot on the market too.

You seem like such a chill lad. You should try Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it's a super fun mostly calm martial art. You'd fit right in. Best wishes to you and shavenation.

I love your videos. I bought the Rockwell 2C months ago. It shaves well but not as well as I want it to. I want a cartridge shave with a safety razor. Can you recommend something,

Congratulations!

I see you finally updated the watch to apple watch with casio g shock style band. Welcome to 2021 bud 👍🏻

Geo👍👍 Great items in your top ten and yep, can't forget the SN bandana... Shave Nation birthday(month), mine too!, congratulations to the both of us. I'm a little older than Shave Nation but still enjoy my shaves, thanks to Geo and SN for supplying great products and personal service. Top shelf company, videos and more, always a good time watching Geo do his magic. Thanks for enduring eleven years and uploading weekly videos for us, amazing. See you soon.

would you recommend the Henson razor over the Merkur 34C/23C or even a Futur for my first DE?

Hi geofatboy, I have recently transferred to double edged shaving recently I use the 38c merkur with feather blade.

Thnx G.O.

You do not pronounce it ˈmyːlə

Great Video! You could make a vid testing out my favorite blades: Sputnik from Gillette.

Congratulations on your channel and business. oh and when it comes to ideas, how about a video about what to do if you knick a strop and how to fix it (if possible).

You can't do this to me!! I just stopped buying new products for myself lol

Video ideas : 1.) shaving Definitions. 2.) What I use Daily. 3.) what Products not to buy. 4.)My Travel Bag. 5.) compare a ton of Razers to Rockwell 6C/6S so people know what else to buy like this razor shaves like the Rockwell 6C/6S R4 plate so you have a standard of how aggressive a shave different razors have to help people purchase more razors

Do a "top 10" bloody deaths when using a Muhle R41 razor.

No pearl flexi? 😅

Thnx for all the videos and tips you give. I must admit that I use Muhle R89 and R41 both twist, Feather and Astra blades, Feather SS artist and Parker SRX shavettes, TOBS sandalwood, Arko, proraso soaps and aftershaves, proraso brush...mostly because of your reviews. I watched manyu reviews and explenations but I fund yours are the best. The only miss for me was the Parker 22R, idk if mine is a bit defected but the blade is more exposed on one side and never really liked to shave with it. I want to get a more serious natural brush in the future, but the cheap Proraso by Omega one is doing a good job since more than 1 year. Muhle and Simpsons brushes are on my radar, idk witch one to chose and they are quite pricey tho. I use a bit of everything, cream tubes (proraso and TOBS), hard (Proraso and Arko) and softer soaps (TOBS), I like the Proraso brush size, I wouldn't go smaller. Tips?

maybe you can do a video about your experience when traveling. Storing, hotel bathrooms.... Planes... ? - I switched from cardrige to DE When I was a student by accident. But stayed. Now, I bought a shavette for the first pass when I haven't shaved for a couple of days. What makes me think about buying a nice straight razor once I find a good and beautiful one. But when traveling all that is more complicated. Often they take of the razor blades at the airport. The bathrooms have no ideal mirrors and light, not enough space to put on all the things needed etc..... Last time I went for a 5 star hotel just because I wanted to have a nice shave in a nice bathroom too 😅and they actually had an adjustable magnifying mirror. That's fantastic!
