Wilkinson Sword Safety Razor, Catie's Bubbles LPV, and West Coast Shaving Silvertip Honeycomb. This was a decent shave, in the next video I will pair this razor with one of my preferred blades.

Doctor of the shave, I learned so much about shaving watching you a long time ago. Nice to see you still doing well. Building that lather is king.

I bought a 34c after your recommendation. It’s awesome and I’ve been using it for about 5 years now. 1000-1500 uses and it still looks like new!

I'm 77, but it's still fun to see your episodes and to experiment with different razors. I have a 1952 Gillette, the one I learned on, but my favorite, to this date, is Murkur. Good luck with your shaving adventures. Thanks for all the information.

Hi Nick. Loved this video. I am really pleased you are back in the saddle🙂. I have just started my own channel and posted my first video. Your beginner series started me off with DE shaving and I mention you in my video along with other well known shave channels. Keep your videos coming, you are one of the RU-vidrs that inspired me to start my own channel.

Really good to see you back Nick

@firlottp 2 месяца назад

This is what I lovingly refer to as the "gateway drug" razor... I picked one up on impulse two months ago and immediately noticed a huge improvement in my shaving results. Now I have at least ten razors, a half dozen brushes, a dozen soaps, tons of splashes, balms, etc. and there appears to be no end in sight. Despite a brand new Rex Ambassador, I with the Wilkinson Sword razor today just for the nostalgia. Or something. :)

@brianb.2894 4 года назад

Hi Nick. Really enjoyed it. I picked up that razor about six months ago and liked it right away. And like you said the price is right. I always try to make it a point to keep my hands dry with any razor reguardless of the knurling. No real slipping that way. Thanks for the video.👍

Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Haven’t watched you in a while used to watch your vids a lot when I started shaving years ago. Learned a lot from you. Even a 47yr guy needs to learn new things every now and then. Was curious about this razor just for fun to buy on Amazon and there’s no one I trust more for an honest opinion. Best to you an the family and hope all of you and the nice dog are doing well

I am fan of your videos! I've bought this razor in the last month. This classic line from Wilkinson Sword has nice products! Brush, soap and aftershave balm from this line are also pretty good! They are all more low budget products, pretty cheap, but pretty good! And Jefferson is awesome! That little guy looks adorable! Greetings from Brazil! 👍

@Rood67 4 года назад

Beautiful golden doodle. Thanks for taking a moment to show him off a bit. Soak a badger or boar brush in a 10% peroxide 90% water, overnight. This isn't strong enough to remove color, but seriously reduces the aroma. I prefer the TTO razor as well,. I twist open a little when rinsing, as this gets all the stubble and soap out. Tighten back up, keep going. Thanks for covering this razor. Most RU-vidrs show razors I'd never spend that much money on. This one is one most could buy and use. And as a mid aggressive, it could be a daily shaver. I recommend Feather blades. Yes, they are considered one of the sharpest blades available. You're shaving to cut hair, not tug and pull hair. In a mild to medium razor, with a lite touch, they cannot be beaten for the smooth shave, in less passes, and lack of iteration from grabbing hair instead of cutting it.

@pickinduck 4 года назад

I have this razor. It was my first safety razor. I think it is milder than my Parker 87R. It is a great razor. I wish that someone would talk more about handle length. It is one of the great unsaid of wet shaving.

@elgumpo1981 4 года назад

I would agree on those Wilkinson Sword Blades. I used them in my Merkur 34C and found they started to bite a lot in the neck area. Also, would like to see you try A&E’s SoCal Hipster Soap in a future video. Awesome soap, smells amazing and performs well.

@KRAZEEIZATION 3 года назад

I bought one and performed one shave, it’s mild but very good. It takes 3 passes. It’s well made, heavy and beautifully chromed. You can get a Shavette in the range too. It’s like the Gillette TTO from the 60s, my dad had one. For a beginner it’s a very good price and with a Palmolive soap stick and a €5 Omega boar brush you’re in DE land for less than €25! I’m selling it again now and I bought a Muhle R94 Rocco and a Fatip slant!

@gnomeoshaves4641 4 года назад

Wow! Jefferson!!! He id get big lol! What a great shave Nick. Keep the videos and reviews coming!!!!

@archangel2143 4 года назад

I have two Merkur razors, a 23c and a 34c and a Rockwell 6S. All 3 razors are awesome! Wet shaving is the best!

@nickshaves 4 года назад

Those are all of the razors you need! If I had to pick 2, I’d keep my 34c and grandfathers Gillette super speed

@timothys9288 4 года назад

Tomorrow I'll be using the Catie's Bubbles Le Piment de La Vie Luxury Cream from the 2015 era. Possibly my favorite shaving soap in my entire collection and I pair it with the high end Creed Royal Oud cologne (actually it's an eau de parfum strength). So glad Nick Shaves came back.

@zenon-paulking3399 4 года назад

After the Gillett debacle I dumped both the razors of theirs and treated myself a Wilkinson Sword Classic undoubtedly the best razor I have ever owned.

@jingledubz3989 4 года назад

Awesome to have you back, Dr. Nick! Great video as always. I never had luck with Wilkinson Sword blades, always caused mucho irritation, especially on my neck. I would love to see your thoughts on the Edwin Jagger 3one6 SS razor. Thanks Nick!

@drunkn711 4 года назад

Just a reminder: with TTO or butterfly razors, always remember to tighten it before each pass, they can loosen a little and that can give you irritation or unwanted pull or bite. Glad to see you back! You should feature a Stirling soap and aftershave soon! They are one of the best soap maker out there and the best "bang for your buck"

@Phessington 4 года назад

drunkn711 With this razor it doesn’t matter what you do, it still nips and pull and brushes against your face. Very poor razor. There are better TTO razors out there.

This looks awesome, I have the Wilkinson Classic, it looks the same except it's plastic and lacks that fantastic opening mechanism. Also metal looks much better.

@koosk41 4 года назад

I bought the razor just to try my first twist to open. I used an Astra blade (1st use). I felt a hollow chatter to the blade which wasn't too comfortable,and haven't used it since. I think I will try it with a known sharper blade next time.

@wilmergreen9480 4 года назад

@micheals1992 4 года назад

I really like this razor, my favourite blade out of all the ones I tested in this razor are the Gillette Nacets. They provide a really good shave and I manage to get upto 10 great shaves before the performance drops, my second favourite is probably shark platinum followed Gillette permasharps but both of those only last 4-5 shaves and are on par with cost. I only have one other razor though, The Lord L6, I find this is better if I've gone a few days without a shave, it cuts through longer hairs where the Wilkinson Sword classic premium struggles. Its a more aggressive razor then the Wilkinson Sword, you can actually feel the blade with the Lord L6. The Wilkinson sword feels super smooth and is also less prone to nicks, the Wilkinson is my daily and the Lord L6 is my goto when I've not shaved for a few days. I'm attempting to use the L6 a bit more to hone my skill a bit but it feels super close and I've still not perfected using it or found the best blade to fit the aggression (my comfort blades tend to pull in this razor).

@darkgladiator27 4 года назад

Everyone seems to hate those blades in Italy, but they're the some of the few ones that give me a perfectly smooth shave, with a tame razor like the EJ Kelvin. No cuts, no irritation. They all must have the blade angle wrong.

@nickshaves 4 года назад

Everyone also reacts to blades differently. That’s why you have to see what works for your skin!

@clarkbowen2935 4 года назад

I don't think I've seen you review the Rex Ambassador adjustable stainless steel razor yet. If you haven't had the opportunity to use one, I can attest that they are on a different level. The Timeless razor with the .95mm gap is also worth a try. It also is on a different level. Excellent video, as always and thanks for the info.

Hi there, I've enjoyed watching all your videos and thank you for the good insight to shaving. I am switching over from using disposable. please can you tell me right off ! out of all your shaving trails- what razor will give me the best and closest shave ? what razor blade would you rate the closest sharpest shave? also- if I bought the Wilkinson Sword Classic Double Edge Safety razor- would these blades fit into razor ? Feather + Blade: Gillette 7 oclock> or would i have to buy he actual manufacture of razor to match the blades ?

Nick, Watching this review of the Wilkinson Classic was my first vid of you I've watched. I think I wanted to hear that you had as bad an experience as I did. But you seemed to like it. I want to step away from disposable blades and back into a classic shave. My first shave (good cream, new blade, long shower to soften my beard), well, my face looks like a crime scene. Question: how far into trying new products do i go before it feels like good money after bad. This first experience already has me gun-shy for buying anything else.
