Here is a video for those of you thinking of making the switch from cartridge razors to traditional wet-shaving. Shaving like you father and grandfather did. It's a fun hobby, and costs are much much less for blades compared to cartridge refills. I will cover briefly; brushes, blades, razors, preshave, soaps and some techniques. Not in depth but enough to give you an idea of what you need to get started. Below I will include the links to some shave websites.
Thank you for watching. Subscriptions appreciated.

@highplainsdrifter9631 2 года назад

@@crimsontide1980 once you make the switch to a double edge safety razor, you'll never go back to the cartridge razor. I've been shaving with safety razors for about six years now and I love it. I've got a straight razor too, but more just to have one. Safety razors are the way to go. Superior shave, no razor bump, lower long-run cost, and the craftsmanship of a quality safety razor are all reasons to shave with DE safety razors. It takes about 3-5 shaves to get the technique down, but once you do it becomes second nature.

One thing I love about this style of shaving, or craft, is that it's just a part of your day where all the BS of life goes somewhere else. It's your own world. It's relaxing, and it's fun. And I will say, the smell that some of these soaps and creams have are out of this world amazing. Its fun to have a stand and a brush and a bowl waiting for you. It's a great experience.

Ken, had a 4 hour train ride yesterday and watched a bunch of your videos. Today went to the drug store and got myself one of those Wilkinson Classic razors. Here in Germany they go for 3.50€ minus a 20% sale that was going on. Just finished my first shave. What can I say? Awesome result and no cuts. My wife saw your den and now she's scared :-) Thanks for your channel - I love it! Greetings from Hamburg, Germany!

@thingsis 7 лет назад

Well, to be honest it is mostly that Wilkinson Classic that they carry in the drug stores. The rest is a bit more complicated. But at 3.50 including 5 blades it would be pretty stupid not to try it. If it works over the next couple days I will use it as a travel razor and get one of those Mühle R89 I think. Think that makes sense as a beginner? Henrik

Just found this video - as a neophyte I bought a Merkur slant and Feather blades on a recommendation from a coworker. All of which you don’t recommend for a beginner which is good. Needless to say, I wound up with more than a few nicks and cuts the first few times - glad I hung in there - a couple of months later and anything less aggressive leaves me impatient. Man oh man though the soaps, aftershaves and brushes oh my! I am glad I found this hobby and your channel. Wet shaving is really a salve that soothes the soul. The variety of scents alone have activated a childlike joy in me! Take care, Model B in Texas.

Nice video, Ken. I actually like your longer videos, personally. I know you average under 10 mins. but I think you should take your time... That's part of what makes it relaxing... If it's too long for people they can always fast forward. But anyway, I hope this video encourages the folks who are "on the fence" to commit to wet shaving. I'm certainly glad I did! It's been probably 4 years now... A really enjoyable experience and "addicting" like you say... But that's okay, it's a positive addiction...haha... Actually it's really just a hobby. Some (most) people don't understand how wet shaving could be a hobby... But there's a lot worse things to spend your money and time on. Thanks Ken!

@MrUlski 7 лет назад

Ken, good video. Just felt like adding that basically what is different about safety razors is that the head is fixed. On cartridge razors the head pivots. This means that with safety razors you do need to pay more attention to the angle and generally you need to learn not to put pressure on the razor. You could use shaving brushes and soaps with any type of razor. You don't have to use a brush in order to use a safety razor, but it is worth mentioning that a lot of the canned shave gels or foams do contain more chemicals compared to some shaving soaps and creams, and as you mentioned the brush will help getting the soap worked better into the whiskers.

@kensurfs 7 лет назад

I started exploring more traditional wet shaving when an embarrassing error prompted me to up my game. I bought the King C Gillette DE Safety Razor as a starter (still need the rest of the kit and goodies), but already, I can say that using a safety razor is not only a lot nicer feeling on the skin, but how much more concentration you need throughout is a therapeutic, head-clearing pleasure. I merely just went to clean up my stubble and ended up feeling so relaxed and ready for bed. Lovely!

I'm 70 years old and I guess they have changed things since when he wore it . I just want to say however that that is how I ran across your RU-vid shows and found you very entertaining and knowledgeable on the subject of all and found myself watching several of your shows . After ordering Old Spice original on ebay , I found that this particular bottle didn't smell at all and now will not do that again ... hahah ... but I want to say that I enjoy the history and knowledge you share and wish continued success ! BTW ...has anyone ever told you that you look and sound like Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men ? To me ... you sure do ... haha . Love your videos ... glad you admitted to having your lovely wife and daughter help you with the smells of the different after shaves ... hahaha !

FYI to new shavers, I use an old glass jelly jar with a slit I cut in the lid to throw old blades in. I’m guessing it’s going to be a couple years before I fill it up and toss it out. I also use a whisky glass I already had to soak my brush while I shower. No need to spend money where you don’t have to. 👍😎

I've always used olive oil as a pre-shave oil - great lubricant and good for the skin too.

I use a steptic pen and will put every where I shaved and let it sit there for about 20 to 30 second before I rinse it off with cold water.

Awesome video, thank you. I've always wet shaved with cartridges and wanted to try something more nostalgic and your video has made it more interesting. Thank you for all of the resources you've shared 👊💥👍✌️

Never ever... have I thought of shaving as a hobby. It is a chore. Now my hobby is wood turning.... and I have a hobby of making brushes with original badger and boar knots. Made my sons their brushes when they first started shaving. Made the handle out of their choice of material and they designed the shape they wanted... as I turned it. Also, made a bunch for other people. Nice hobby... but shaving.... not a hobby. LOL Soaps... I buy mine from a place called Em's Place. She puts a good amount of glycerin in her pucks... which helps with my sensitive skin.
