Why I Love Traditional Wet Shaving 

This is probably one of the most, if not most meaningful shaving video I've ever watched. The whole looking back to the first time you decided to wet shave, the journey and the actual pieces you used back then. Something in that is very emotional, I can tell by looking at your expressions that this is something you are very passionate about. Five years from now id like to look back at the first pieces I owned and hopefully come back to this day and experience the feeling again. I'm new to wet shaving and I may have striked gold finding your channel. You have a brand new and loyal subscriber in me. Thank you sir.

At the year in which you filmed this, I had been de shaving for 24 years. I can still remember the awe I had looking at the Merkur Futur for the first time. I couldn't believe I was going to use this beautiful ,shinny thing to shave with instead of the plastic abomination that had left my face in pieces for years, called the Mach 3. I took my time and had a great shave with zero irritation. I was hooked from then on. I used the same blades and soap until last year when they discontinued the soap and changed the country origin of the blades. Since then I have been trying everything new and an glad that I have. There is so much more out there now than there was in late 95- early 96 when I started. I am glad I started watching your videos from your first time till now as I can sorta see what things others have struggled with and what techniques I can gain in using different soaps, including the ways to lather. Thanks for making your fun, quirky and helpful videos.

I switched to DE shaving last November after 38 years of cartridge/disposable razors and shaving foam. Always found shaving a chore but now really enjoy it. I now have 5 razors and a growing assortment of blades. I think it a appeals on a number of fronts. There is something therapeutic about a more traditional wet shave and I enjoy the whole ritual element. I also enjoy buying and trying out all the paraphernalia. Would not have got here if it had not been for chaps like you and your channels - many thanks.

The two times in my life that I have enjoyed shaving; when my father first taught me how to shave in my early teens and when I started wet shaving two years ago. Everything in between it felt like a chore. I did it because I had to. It was not enjoyable. It was a necessity. I saw an article on Facebook about using a safety razor and how it gave a better shave and it was cheaper. Annnnd then I fell down the rabbit hole. I blame you, Kensurfs, and Paul H. 😂😂😂 Just kidding, but seriousy, I have learned a lot from you three. It's been a wild, fun ride!

Why *I* love it? Because of you. Because of delightful, warm, and honest people like you, with whom one can share all this.

I just started wet shaving and I totally get it. I will never go back to cartridge shaving. I love the brushes love the difference soaps. I love the entire process 👍👍👍

I started wet shaving about six months ago. I'm not a morning person, so with my long commute, I used either electric or cartridge. But with COVID, I've been working from home and so had more time in the morning- and didn't need to shave daily. I started with a Henson (made an hour away, so thought I'd support a local company brave enough to open their doors in 2020). About a month ago I bought my second razor - a Wilkinson Sword Classic Chrome. And on Monday my Merkur 34 arrived. I bought the Merkur because you and others seem to love it and recommend it as a starter. So far, so good! I get what you mean about the rabbit hole; so far, about a dozen different blades, an equal number of creams (just got my first hard soap) and two brushes. And I have a long list of other things I want. Loving the journey! Thanks for all you share; I've learned a lot.

I think wet shaving is a way to relief the stress in your life, there's something so relaxing and peaceful about it, I don't know it's just so cool, you know mate once you get into it there's no way backwards.

Kevy, it is a joy to see someone enjoying himself with his shave. Its something that is hard to describe to another person why we wet shave. "Why?! Isn't it faster with xxxbrand shave goop?" And you go "No boy, you don't get it, I DON'T WANT TO rush the shave." The scent, the feel, holding that razor in your hands, expecting to cut yourself and of course you do that first time, but after you get the hang of it, and the shaves you get from DE shaving, you just can't go back. Nor can you truly explain to someone who hasn't wet shaved why. But to everyone who do wet shave, that glint in the eyes, says it al. 😁 That rabbit hole though. Yes, I could have shaved money by sticking to my original soap, razor, brush. But lets just say I jumped into that hole eyes wide open and its still a hell of a ride! (Mail call incoming soon I hope ... logistics the world over being borked)

Six months ago with a Merkur Progress, a Yaqi brush, and Arko soap. Even though I never got past setting 2 on the Progress I loved shaving traditionally from the start. Next I bought the Rockwell 6c and some PAA CK6 soap. That was a revelation. I shifted the Progress on pretty swiftly after that. In the meantime I consumed you, Paul H and SugerDaddyShaves entire catalogue of videos, so thanks for that. This is a fantastic hobby. There's not many hobbies where you can get a good start for an outlay of a couple of hundred quid. I'm a keen photographer and the starting price for that is more like a couple of grand. DE shaving can be enjoyed for very little outlay. Great stuff.😃

A nice trip down memory lane. My journey began in March 2012, as I recall ordering on Amazon the EJ DE89, and caught the wave of resurgence in old school shaving. Used the Derby blades that came with them and just stuck with them for quite a while. Never looked back and wish I discovered DE wet shaving sooner. Now my den is becoming a museum of vintage and all sorts of nice new razors, lots and lots of soaps, blades, after shaves, and thoroughly enjoying it more and more.

Shaving is a hobby to me and I really enjoy it,does that mean I'm weird. Even weirder is that I enjoy 😉 watching the shaving videos!

I missed my 37 so much I decided to purchase it again, I parted ways with it when I began to downsize my collection sometime ago. It was missed!

Most of the time I think of myself as being an extreme dork about how much I love wet shaving. It's therapeutic and calming. More than anything I feel kind of silly when I tell people about it, because it's hard to talk about it well like you do. People smile and think I'm weird. It's good to know I'm not alone. Thanks Kevy!

Thanks for being you. Yes we all have a journey.

I started not that long before you Kevy. Like many of us, I started watching Paul H, Chris Bailey, Mantic, Stephen K and Michael F. After buying my first DE razor (EJ DE89) I was hooked. The first shaves were bad. A lot of irritation and frustration. Tempted to throw the towel in, I stuck with it. And I’m glad I did. Shaving now is enjoyable and irritation free and closer than shave with a cartridge. Thankfully I have found my way out of the rabbit hole and only have a very small collection of soaps, creams, brushes, blades and razors. Still Enough to last me for a number of years right enough. Great video Kevy and it’s been a pleasure to follow your journey from the start. You’ve come a long way and you’re now part of the wet shaving royalty I’ve named above. Top man.

Your enthusiam really comes through. I feel the same way. I cannot wait for shave days!

Oh man! I started less than a year ago wet shaving and let me tell you-I thought That starting with the Muhle R41 open comb was a great idea. 😂 I butchered my face 😆. Horrible idea! Not only that-I used a terrible soap that did not lather and dried up so quick! It did not tolerate any water! I thought I was horrible at building a lather but it turned out to be the soap itself. I learned my lesson. But now I have found my happy ground in wet shaving and have improved my R41 skill. Thank you for sharing your story sir.

I've only been a wet shaving enthusiast for about 6 months, but your comment on the Merkur 34C, which was also my first safety razor, was exactly my experience. I loved the way it looked, and still do. Love your videos, Kevy. Although, you've definitely contributed to my going down the rabbit hole of wet shaving, so my wife may not feel the same! Ha! Keep up the good work!

Kevy I’ve just started 1 month ago so I’m really eager to learn as much as I can.

We all love Kevy , keep safe you and mrs Kevy 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🪒💈

This community is the reason I love wet shaving. I have made many lifelong friendships from it. I still enjoy everything in my den. I've never tried Nanny's; someone told me they've not released anything new, so... I hope she continues to produce soaps. Thanks for sharing, mate. I'd like an appointment with Shona. A #2 guard all the way around my head please. Thanks for sharing, and look after everyone in your house.

it's been a little over 2 years for me. My first razor was a van der Hagen that I bought from Target. Now I have 13 in my collection and dozens of soaps. 👍

I’m in my late 20s and i started wet shaving about 4 years ago. I had been shaving with 3 or 4 blades cartridge razors (Gillette and Wilkinson mostly). I hated shaving, to me it was such a chore but i had to do it because of work. Until one day, when my dad ditched cartridge razors and bought a plastic Wilkinson safety razor. And one odd summer morning, i found it beside the sink and gave it a go. I « shaved » like an animal, putting enormous pressure on the razor, and the result was a blood bath... now, i’m shaving with a Merkur Futur (setting 3) with a Feather blade getting fantastic shaves. My soap of choice is the Martin de Candre Classique. Anyway, getting into wet shaving was the best decision ever for my skin!!

Mrs Kevy did a fine job with substandard equipment for sure, needs must in these challenging times. We definitely have time to reconsider our collections, and revisit some products pushed to the back of the shelf. Found a packet of Bluebird Stainless blades today, very nice indeed.

Its funny, I started wet shaving because I got so tired of being screwed by the cost of cartridge blades. So I started watching paulHfilms Kensurfs you and another cut above. I got sucked in I love wet shaving. I now call my bathroom my shave den and spend more money than I did with cartridge shaving, But I love it. I love the variety of hardware and the scents and my skin is better for it. Its my hobby now. Love the channel.

I started using a DE razor about 10 years ago. Started with a Merkur 33C and I then bought a 34C and a 34G. I've always used a brush and soap to shave probably because it's so much cheaper. Must be my Scottish heritage 😆 I never got into the multi blade cartridges because of the cost and irritation. So before I switched to DE razors I just used twin blade cartridges. Just found your channel and enjoy seeing what else is out there for wet shavers. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Great shave and journey Kevy!!! My journey into wet shaving was weird. In 1999, my favorite uncle passed away, and my dad gave me one of his old razors, which was a Gillette Super Adjustable 84. Blades were hard to come by, but my dad had a friend that was in the military who was able to send soaps and blades from overseas where he was stationed. He used to send thousands of blades a month and soaps like Mitchell's Wool Fat, Proraso, and TOBS pucks. So that's how I was able to get blades and shave soap here in the US, where it was not widely available. I didn't buy my own DE razor until around 2007 when I saw a Gillette Aristocrat in a pawn shop here, and since then, the bug has been around. I love this hobby, and I'm glad to see that it's so much easier to get supplies now. Cheers!!!

Thank you for sharing this retrospective shave. History is important in this hobby and all history is personal. Take good care!

What a joy to watch, thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you and Mrs Kevy are keeping well. I felt the same when I got my first razor (EJ DE89) and thought wow, this thing looks beautiful. When I got this, I also got a sample pack of different blades from the same place as the razor. Having not watched your videos or anyone else's for that matter. I picked the Feather blade out of the sample packs and had my first ever DE shave. My chin and the front of my chin were covered in weepers from what I remember, that was just over two years ago. After then, I started to watch shaving videos, I then learned that Feather blades are the sharpest blades around. They are still a blade I like to use in SOME of my razors (more milder razors they seem to suit me in best). I must admit that my moving to DE shaving was I was fed up with the price of Fusion cartridges. But that was before I fell down the rabbit hole 🐇🤣

Hi Kevy, I have been watching your videos for a long time and I am writing to you from Italy. I knew your channel thanks to a friend who, like me, makes videos on traditional shaving. I really like your style and always look at them with curiosity and pleasure. Beautiful shaved! Best wishes, Dario.

Great shave buddy! 🤙🏼

I join you with the 34c / Feather. Was exactly the same feelings for me on both counts - really thought my face was going to be sliced off, after reading the Feather comments. But it was all good!

I started wetshaving a couple of months later than you. I remember placing 2 parallel international orders that ended up costing me double the price I paid, due to customs taxes I was not aware of. One order was from the US: I bought almost everything in Nick Shaves Gear of the Year 2015. The second order was from UK, where I bought TOBS creams and Captain Fawcett shaving soap and badger brush, the same products used in a ouple of Barber shops I went to in my hometown. I still remember my exitement when I smelled TOBS Sandalwood for the first time, and how the sent invaded my bathroom. The same exitement I felt when smelling and using B&M Seville for the first time. And my love-at-first-use of Fine Platinum aftershave. Trully unforgetable experiences that made me a wetshaving adict. Cheers, Kevy! I don't always leave a comment, but always a pleasure to see your videos.

I started 3 years ago with a cheap Chinese razor I bought in a truck stop. I'm a truck driver. I used brushless Creamo shave cream, tried a single pass and never really got it. I stumbled on your channel and the Australian guy. I really learned a lot. I really have saved money untill recently. I lost all my razors when I left my DOP kit at a truckstop. Just starting to replace some of it now. Toys are made of plastic (cartridges and disposable) men know real tools are made of metal!!!

I just ordered my first safety razor. I was going to purchase the Merkur 34C but after looking around youtube a bit, I settled for the Rockwell 6s. It reminds me of a stainless steel nose hair clipper I purchased a decade ago, you can't beat the rugged quality of stainless--plus six razors in one. Hopefully I won't cut my face too much learning how to use it. Your videos and a few others' have been very helpful to me. Thanks.

Then Plisson knot is 22mm Kevy:) That's an oldie but goodie. I used to have everything you used in this video.

I started DE shaving around the same time you did. I just checked and my first order was March, 2015. You probably watched the same videos that got me started (Geofatboy, Nick Shaves, PaulHfilms, Busta, etc). I buzzed all my hair off a few weeks ago with decades old electric clippers. The guides were long gone so I cut off about 6 inches of hair with a pair of scissors before starting. I haven't worn my hair this short since grade school when I took crew cuts and used "stickum" to get the hair in front to stick up.

I got started, because I wanted to save money, lower my carbon footprint, and I just became a dad. I want to teach my kids to wet shave. Felt it would be an awesome memory for me an my kids

Hi Kevy. Mark from Malaysia here. Been shaving for 23 years. The last 15 years I used a cheap Gillette plastic DE razor and mostly Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp blades. Hated shaving all those years. The razor felt aggressive and the blade although sharp, was very uncomfortable. Like u, I watched a Nick Shaves video by chance and that was it. 6 months ago, I bought my first real DE razor, the Edwin Jagger DE89 and instantly fell in love with it. 6 months later I have a Parker Variant Adjustable, Merkur 34C and my EJ. As for blades, I use mostly the Astra SP, Personna Lab Blue, Personna Red as well as some Feather blades. I love the Arko sticks. Can't go wrong with them. Some Proraso soaps and creams, Arko creams and some very good Indian made shaving creams like Vi-John which are very cheap and easily available in Indian stores here. From hating shaving, I now can't wait for my daily shave ... at 43 years of age! Especially now since we have been in lockdown and can't go out that much. Thanks for your great videos. I've watched pretty much all of them. Thanks to guys like u, Paul H, Nick, Geofatboy etc, wet shaving is kind of making a comeback. Keep it up Kevy. Take care and stay safe.

Mrs. Kevy did a great job.

Very nice shave sir. Been wet shaving for two years. Wasn’t aware of any stores in the U.S. that sold wet shaving products, so I ordered from Executive Shaving. First razor was a Muhle R89, TOBS sandalwood, Personna Platinum Blue blades, and Muhle silvertip badger brush. Still enjoy it and all the products. Got my son into wet shaving and he’s been doing it for a year now and also loves it.

Hello from the other Scottish wet-shaving Kev! (Fife). I've been wet-shaving with DE razors since 2013 when I became sick and tired of the cost of cartridge razors. I couldn't for the life of me justify paying the quite honestly rip-off prices for plastic 3 or 5-bladers any longer. Shaving had become an absolute chore, and to be honest, I was fed up with getting razor burn on the bottom of my neck all of the time. I started off with a Pearl Open-Comb DE razor, but have since moved onto owning various razors, such as : Merkur 1904 41c, Muehle R41, Fatip Piccolo, Fatip Grande, Parker 60R, Muehle R89, and another open-comb whose name I can't remember at the moment. I don't have that heavy of a growth (I shave every 2-3 days on average) but I find the open-comb razors more suited to me as I like the closer feel of the blade on my skin, and I can 90% of the time avoid nicks and weepers with careful technique. I think the worst spots for me are at the bottom of my neck and underneath my nose/nostril area, always seem to get cut there if I do manage to get any. I've tried various shaving soaps/creams, including Taylor of Old Bond Street, but I keep on coming back to Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol because it just seems to "work" for my skin and facial hair growth. I do like the Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood, that is a very close second in my book! I've tried various brands of DE Blades, including Derby, Gillette 7 O' Clock, Feather, Astra Platinum, Shark and Personna. For me, Shark or Astra Platinum blades work the best, and I occasionally work up the courage to use a Feather blade, though there's a slightly higher risk of nicks and cuts with one of those blades. I think I now have enough blades to do me well into my 50's and 60's! (I'm in my late 30's) It's funny how you said initially it seems cheaper, and in a way it is because you're not paying into Gillette's coffers any more, but it gets replaced with that G.A.S. I'm always tempted to check out another razor, brush, soap etc simply because I can. Right now I fancy getting myself an Edwin Jagger DE89 and a Merkur 15c.

Kevy is the man! He is a shaving superstar A lister, the go too!

its addictive as hell wet shaving greaat shave ....cheers....Peter

Great video! 👍🏻 Those who say Feather is sharp should try BIC. Even sharper and I love them as they are cheap as well! 😊

Hello Kevy, congratulations for the shave and the hair, a hug and see you soon. 👏👏👏👋👋👋🇮🇹

Great hair cut , my wife gave me the covid cut the other day also, Merkur 34c was my first razor when i started wet shaving, if i can ill shave every day , really enjoy the whole process, relaxing for me 👍💈🇨🇦

I missed this one earlier. It popped up in my suggested videos. I enjoyed your trip down memory lane and some of your sentiments on some shaving items. One thing that I was hoping that you would mention was why you picked up wet shaving in the first place. I know that for me, I kept thinking, "There has got to be a better way." I am glad that I found it.

I can remember your troublespot under your right ear. 😂🤣 You learn a lot, this was a nice shave.

Thanks so much for teaching us the basics. You popped up as one of my first searches about a year ago and have been watching since.

Nick Shaves and GeoFatboy were two traditional wet shavers I followed as well and I can’t imagine going back to my joyless cartridge shaving days. 🤑 I shave Sun & Wed and I really, really look forward to it. 🥳 I got my Son converted to DE shaving a couple of years ago. He’s hooked and now I’ll never wonder what I should get him for a gift! 😬 Bored? 🤔 Naaaaaahhh!

It's great to see that you've retained your joy of wet shaving after almost five years😀. The other great thing happening in October 2015 was the appointment of Jürgen Klopp as manager of Liverpool Football Club 😁😁. My first wet shave three years ago was an old English tech razor, derby blade, T&H 1805 shaving cream and a cheap synthetic brush...

Blades are so important for de shaving. I recommend ordering some sample blades.

Sadly, I heard last week that Dovo Mekur has filed bankruptcy. I can’t find out any more, but I have no reason to doubt it. Nice shave Kevy. I’ll have to look for Silly Soap. With a name like that it must be great.

Lol! That’s what I’m doing now... I am watching the videos of all you gents on wet shaving trying to pick up tidbits of information from you all! Being new to wet shaving ( not new to shaving - 45 yrs old ) I definitely find that I am learning a lot. I must admit though, I’ve kind of went whole hog and bought like 3 different razors ( EJ DE89 , Merkur 15C & Merkur Futur in that order ) and also 2 sample packs of blades along with 100 pk of Voskhods , 100 pk of Astra green ... kind of leery about the Feather blades! ( I find that I really like those Astras ) I have some Feathers from the sample packs ( Guess I just have to put my big boy pants on and try not to have a face cutting good time lol!) Anyway guess I’m rambling now, thx for sharing the knowledge you’ve gained... there are a lot of us who truly appreciate it.

Very nice video kevy 💈👍🏼hair cut very good excellent job.. My wife is done it for me too as well till everything starts... Good thing I have all things to get hair cut like barber 💈 Take care Alan

She did a great job on your haircut Kevy, my wife cut mine as well, and did a great job too:)

Great shave kevy. Nice trip down memory Lane. I remember my first wet shaving gear and experience. It seems like it was just yesterday. First razor was a bigfoot shaves razor ( butterfly open style), used the blades that came with it. Vanderhagen brush/bowl / soap set. The brush was boar hair and the bowl was green and blue and smooth inside and out. Still have the razor, brush and bowl. I thought I was going to kill my face with cuts n such, but I did a pretty good job! I came from cartridge razors, electric razors, etc... That's when I started following you, nick shaves, Ken surfs etc... I've never looked back. Granted I started following other youtubers such as: Kai triska, TrevieB, shaving with rich and El chingon Marcos Mendez. I have always watched you as you were the first youtuber I saw and followed. Since my beginning, I have amassed quite the den and continue to do so. Thank you for being you and enter and educating us all in this not only art, but lifestyle and hobby! Cheers mate!

I started in January and have 3 razors including a vintage gillette, 6 brushes (which are my big draw) soaps and various blades. It's the TOBS sandlewood reminds me of my Grandad tho. It's a relaxing moment down and fascinating understanding the combinations that work well or not down the rabbit hole!

This was just great!!!

I have been cutting my own hair since I was 16. I had the same thing happe to me. My #2 size guard broke and I have to hold it lol

I agree Kevy, love variety. I started my channel after Cincy Shaves encouraged me to. My first video was my first use of an R41. Yeah, my elevator don't go all the way up. It's been pretty much downhill from there. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Stay healthy and happy.

That merkur 34c was my first DE razor when I moved to wet shaving. Bought the merkur 34c TOBS coconut shave cream and some persons blades all from the executive shave company :) never turned back and love wet shaving these days :)

Thanks Kevy You My friend make it fun to watch .

Hi Kevy, I swithed to wet shaving after my electric razor (battery) gave up. I went to the supermarket with only the half of my face shaved and bought a can of Gillette foam and my first (and last) Gillette cartridge razor. But when I noticed the price of the spare cartridges, I started to check out safety razors and watching Geofatboy videos. My first start kit was a razor, brush and shaving creme from China, but it was a total cheap crap. Then I bought my Muhle R89 and R41 razors, then Razorock German 37 slant that I loved and now my absolutely favorit Rockwell 6C razor. I love the wet shaving because it gives BBS shaves and I also try to avoid plastic stuff etc. And wet shaving are for real gents, OK Ok... and ladies. 😉 It is also a nice hobby. Stay safe and Take care. Cheers

Great shave kevy.Best thing I ever did switching to DE from cartridge ! Thanks to your channel .cheers buddy.stay safe Col.

Hey kevy! I just got a PAA ecliptic slant and I'm excited to get it in and have a good old fashioned shave!

I've gotten a bit pruny from time to time when I stayed in the shower a long time but I've never needed to prune anything while I was in there.

I was beginning to look forward to seeing you with a ponytail. I think Mrs. Kevy did a good job on your haircut. I started wet shaving because I'm old and alone and keep getting older (DAMN IT!). I tried to think of ways to improve my existence. Wet shaving turned out to be a great choice. You shave anyway but wet shaving makes it more enjoyable. I am going to get a gift card tomorrow and will probably send for something wet shaving related.

Now in the quarantine I spend 15-20 minutes only to wash out the equipment and dry it. I need 10 minutes to hydrate the lather on the face. You don't want to know how much time in total I am inside the bathroom. A "quick" shave for me lasts about 45 minutes!!! 😅 And when I use a US artisan soap that needs tons of water.. Don't even ask!!!

Not long after I got into wet shaving back in December 2014, my girlfriend and I had a conversation. The conversation was after I watched a stallion video, and in the video, Anthony talked about some of his shave gear. I thought wow, that guy has quite a bit of stuff, and I do not want to get like him when it comes to shave gear. But here it is 2020, and LOL, Has that conversation gone right out the window. I originally just want it about five razors, a couple of brushes, and a few soaps. Now I have almost 50 razors, I have 20 brushes, and almost 40 soaps. Let’s just say that I did not stick to the conversation LOL, but man has this ride been fun. Stay safe Kevy and have a great day.

34c is my favorite razor. I prefer German-made Wilkinson sword blades.

my journey started 5 months ago with proraso red. Then the shave virus kicked in and had to buy more soaps, now 8 total.

Fantastic video Kevy... Great haircut, perfect shave and awesome insight as always! I keep checking the UPS tracker can't wait for my stuff to come ;)

i recently started out with a cut throat razor and i have very quickly moved on to a muhle r41 and now after watching eve more videos on youtube i have just ordered a Edwin Jagger de89. i have the proraso white set and the proraso red shaving soap tube ( will end up with the pre and post in red at some point as i love the smell. i also want the tob sandlewood as all you lot see to love it but ive ran out of money now.

I think there coolness factor hasn't gone for me. Everytime I get something new it's like the feeling when you got that cool new toy as a kid. I like that fact that I actually enjoy shaving now. Before I dreaded it and hated how my face hurt with ingrown hairs. That's a nice brush by the way.

Kevy, jealous on you. Here (India) Lock-down. 35 days over. No saloon or barber. My hair crossing my eye !!! Thanks for video

Nice haircut you look 20yrs younger!

Loved the background story!!! I switched-over last year right before traveling to the West Bank & Europe. Wanted to save space on my luggage lol so I bought one of those Bevel subscriptions to take with me. Their products are pretty sucky; but once I landed in Italy I loaded myself with proraso soaps (dirt cheap there!) When I returned to the states, I had to get myself as many soaps and razors I could get my hands on 😅

🖐️🙂👍 great shave, Kevy! All the best for you 💈

Looks good

NSS still trading Kevy. Most of the soaps on their website are out of stock. But ESC are selling them

You can shave your head too. I did it....feels and looks good. And if you don't like it, you can regrow. But head shaven, no meds and straight jacket might make shaving videos imposible....... I still need to try the Feather.....stuck w Nacet , Astra and other Gillette

Basically, apart from a better technique and increasingly voluminous lather [making cake decorators green wth envy, I'm sure], your attitude hasn't changed. And still entertaining. Well done! Must be something in the water, the c-c-c-old Sssc-c-c-c-cottish water!

Naaemen, This is what we are saying ( In Egypt) to some one after he finish his hair cut or shaving.

nannys silly soap is still going but they are out of the zinger

I wish the scents on the shaving soaps and creams lasted longer on the face.Its a bit like having a nice smelling shower gel.Smell only lasts 5 mins on application.Cella Aloe Vera was good.Never knew about that one.

I was a little scared you were gonna use those shears on top of the shower Kevy!

Have to be honest Kevy Yaqi brushes are outstanding just love em handle designs and quality of knot is amazing.. I got my Yaqi collection on little shelf 💈👍🏼 Alan H

Great Video again Kevy. Thx again for the funny faces. Man i laughed tears 😂😂😂😂 I started September 2017 with a bluebeards shavette. Two shaves later i baught a TTO (1000 names) and than Merkur 37C and and and 😂

Hey Kevy, Do you ever watch Chewin the fat? I think of you when I watch it. Scottish humor is great!

I'm receiving my Plisson soon hope would be great as my Yaqi's, now as per wooden handle won't rot??? Anyhow I give trust to brush makers in France they do some great craftsmanship.. Alan H

great video Kevy! also a good lough with the over hang shave.. and who knows.. maybe you are into something new lol

Is the branch cutter for your toe nails?? ;P Started 4 weeks ago with the 34C...

Good evening Kevy! I must say this; what are those pruning shears doing in the shower? It is my considered opinion that disposable/cartridge type razors feel like toys and cheapens the shave experience. Whereas a traditional safety razor is and feels like a tool! This automatically increases the significance and relevance, and, for some, the enjoyment of the shave. I know what you mean about the reputation of the Feather Hi-Stainless blade. I was afraid to use it knowing I would slice half my face off. My first brush was a bit of a floppy disaster; synthetic boar. Horrible when compared to the ones that came after, especially with the likes of Simpson, TDR, and Greydog. I was lucky to have been to Barber College, have a barber's license, and practiced in a shop for 10 years. I knew how to make a lather yet I learned even more from watching others on RU-vid. Now I make a really luxurious lather...just not Kevy super lather. As far as the rabbit hole, I try not to collect too much shave hardware and software. If my equipment cannot fit inside my shave den cabinet then I need to downsize. I do know I have about 30 years worth of quality razor blades and about 15 years of shaving soaps, but it fits into the cabinet. I hope the enablers leave me in peace. Weepers/nicks/cuts are a part of shaving and can never be completely eliminated, even with a cartridge. Some people even manage to nick themselves with an electric razor (WTF?). I can't use the Nivea due to the fumes and makes my asthma act-up with fits of coughing. Pity. I can use the Old Spice! Great stuff. Nice shave and a fine looking haircut. Please be safe. Take care.

Where to the garden secatuers came in Kevy? Was it part of the haircut?

Sorta clickbaity,but still good.

I wish that brush was still widely available 😔

It would be rude of me not to comment on the haircut. For a first attempt with damaged goods, it's not too bad. Like you, holding that razor and thinking this is it...This just got real...This is the the last razor I will ever have to buy...It'll last a lifetime... Oooh, look at that DE89... Feather... Rockwell etc etc 🤣
