Trying out some Shave Soap from India that came highly recommended from some of my viewers. Trigodon Soap is Hand Crafted in India and I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’ll be also using a Topaz Platinum blade in a Pearl open comb razor.
Thank you for watching. Subscriptions appreciated.

You were the inspiration for me to restore a c-40 for myself. Thanks Ken. As I was reaming out the handle, it all fell apart into 2 pieces. No worries. A little more sanding and some great epoxy filled the handle and mated up a great badger knot on top! while not as beautiful as yours, it still fills the nostalgia and cool factor for me just fine.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Jeffrey Ramsower That is very cool. The first restoration is always the hardest👍💈🎄🎅🏻

Do not often come across products from India. Especially handmade. And in this country the culture of shaving is developed. It was lucky that soap having done this way got to you. Pearl razor returned, very good. I constantly tighten the skin on my neck, in the first pass. If the soap dries on the face, we can use a pre-shave, or add oil to the lather. Also add glycerin to the lather too. Thanks Ken!

Great shave Ken! Great products also! Can't wait to see the vids! You never talk too much either. I'm always so entertained with all your vids. I bought myself some shave stuff for Christmas, so I'm expanding my shave den. Keep up the great work! If you don't release another vid before Christmas, hope you and your family have a happy holiday!

Smokey 1471 Thank you Smokey👍👍💈💈🎄🎄

@Smokey-xg3db 6 лет назад

Kensurfs So, have you extended your shave den with Christmas stuff? I splurged on west coast shaves lol. Got myself a Parker badger brush, a merkur futur, a Parker progress and a few after shaves. Not too long ago got a fatip Nero. So the den is coming along nicely. Just out of curiosity, where did you get that awesome crystal skull? I gotta have one!

@quadras4joy 6 лет назад

Nice Shave!, Trigodon Soaps are good, I had a sample of the "Turquoise Dream Shave Soap" and it smelled amazing. If possible do try the Biotique - Bio Palmyra shaving cream - another good shaving soap/cream from India. As always Pearl OC did a good job, another OC which you may know already is the Parker 24C/ Parker 26C razor. Would like to see you using other products from India as well.

Good afternoon Ken! Nice shave soap journey story...very unique. Your Pearl razor is lovely. I am looking forward to the upcoming shaves. I'm amused by seeing Christmas trees in the warmer climates, such as the tropics and temperate regions...Christmas trees need snow or at least bitter cold...lol. I went to one of those updated AMC Theaters with those power reclining seats and at seat service...I fell asleep during the movie! Too much comfort I guess. Stretching the skin taut makes a flat surface so the razor blade cut cleanly without cut the slack skin. That is good technique. Excellent shave Ken. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Todd F Thank you very much Todd. I’m looking forward to one big rain storm to clean the air from the smoke and quench the fires👍💈🎄

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Joshua Nute I get so many requests and some of those companies sell me great samples or if the watch the channel they ask me to try them out👍💈

@johnnydee1140 6 лет назад

Another great shave, Ken! You're right more than 2 pssses with an open comb is risky. I do like my PAA double open comb tho. Happy Holidays to you, as well.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Johnny Dee That double open comb is a shark if you are not careful. It will bite..lol

@Nights_eye_puppets 6 лет назад

Superb shave Ken. Too bad the soap isn’t being sold in the states. Presentation is cool and from the looks of it, performance seems solid. Wishing you a healthy and happy holiday.

@michaelandcolinspop 6 лет назад

Ahh, for this Midwesterner, it's always funny to see people running around in shorts (ref: the quick clip of Fashion Island) during the winter. I've always appreciated having four seasons, I guess. And your gripe about having to run out for "popcorn and other crap" in the middle of a movie sounds really familiar. Anyway, as usual, great shave. I've been thinking about buying an OC, and this Pearl may be the one. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

@knightmare1015 6 лет назад

Great shave Ken. I'm back to DE safety razors now & I always pull downward on my neck area with my opposite hand. It keeps me from getting cut & results in a closer shave on my neck area which is very problematic for me. I've also learned to use the smooth leather side of my strop after installing a new blade to take the harshness away from 1st shave that you normally get. I get a better shave when I do.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Stephen Davidson I hear that works great. What is your go-to blade and razor?👍💈🎄

@knightmare1015 6 лет назад

So far i have 3 choices. The Gillette Slim, The original double OC razor from Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and the German 37 from RazoRock. I recently tried the German version of the Wilkinson Sword and they're fabulous.

Great shave. I saw Star Wars on Friday which was the opening day, but I will not share any plot details to not spoil the movie. Don't listen to these people spoiling the plot. It's cold here in Chicago, but it rained a little, and we need snow since we haven't had more than two inches of snow here in a long time

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

GoldenSteelTV Hopefully you get a white Christmas with good snow👍💈🎄

@fpark114 6 лет назад

if you get your hands on some clubman whiskey woods aftershave, its worth the $13 asking price. also look at the parker 63c razor.

@rajansharmaadv 6 лет назад

Hello brother Ken how are you, I am Rajan Sharma from India, here in India my experience with Topaz blades is not good, I found them scratchy, try ZORIK blades also they are indeed smooth.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Rajan Sharma Excellent. Thank you👍💈

@tanathos0414 6 лет назад

Merry Christmas, Ken! Could you do a shave video with a Denim aftershave? I own the black and gold and think they're fantastic. Don't like the original too much, though. There's also the "wild" one (green one) that I want to try out Friday and see If I like it or not before I buy it.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

tanathos0414 I do remember that. I’ll see about getting some👍💈🎄

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

It's unfortunate that Pearl do not sell that SSH-01 open comb here in India. They only sell that model for the US market. Have been looking to buy one for some time.

@rajansharmaadv 6 лет назад

Brother Ken kindly tell whether Topaz blades are equal to derby blades in sharpness and smoothness.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Rajan Sharma I have used Derby blades much more often and find them a bit smoother in the Merkur razors👍💈

@MrUlski 6 лет назад

Regarding the thing about the blade sticking out more to one side . You should check if the holes in the blade are cut different than normal - I never heard that being a problem before but you never know.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

MrUlski The holes were a slight bit bigger than normal, but it corrected very well👍💈

@shockwave5015 6 лет назад

Ken, have you ever tried Palmolive Shaving Cream? I have never seen you use the cream in a video. I thought that maybe you could try Palmolive in a video sometime.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

shock wave You we’re not the first to ask that. I will see about ordering some to try👍💈

@shockwave5015 6 лет назад

I think you will like the Palmolive Shaving Cream. I have seen Paul H use Palmolive several times; he really enjoys it.

Hi I have two questions: 1.What do you do with the soaps and creams that you buy, because I do not think you use them more than once? 2.How much money do you spend in a month, considering that you use new stuff in every video? I hope my questions have not bothered you.Thank you 😃

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

stefan andrei I only film 2 Shaves a week. The other 5 days I use all my soaps. In rotation. But if I used the similar ones in every video it would be like a repeat. I also give them to my family if I do not use them or give them away in an appreciation video 👍💈🎄

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

stefan andrei I average spending about $50 a month on items, sometimes more or less

@manishbhoola 6 лет назад

I had a look up on the ingredients in the soap a while ago and they disappoint absolutely. At appx 10$ i would prefer any of the wonderful artisan soaps available in the USA pay customs and import and still be cheaper than this local soap.

@kensurfs 6 лет назад

Manish Bhoola I really enjoy the artisan soaps also👍👍💈
