Wonderful review and video. 😊👍🏽. I do look forward to holding this razor in my hands as soon as possible. The safety aspect of the razor which you confirmed is the attraction. Well done.

11:02 Synthetic brushes are not eco-friendly. Plastic, which the synthetic brush bristles are made from, is not biodegradable. It follows then that the most eco-friendly option is second-hand natural hair brushes, such as badger, boar, or horse, but then, in the case of badger, badger brushes have to be produced in the first place for those to continue to be available, and there is concern about the wellbeing of badgers. I would imagine it's similar for boar and possibly even for horse. Plastic handles are another problem. All handles should be made of (sustainable) wood or metal (or other biodegradable materials, if they exist for shaving brush handles). I wonder if soft bristles made from a plant will ever become available. And no, I'm not talking about bioplastic (bio-based plastic), because that's still plastic and still not biodegradable. Another thing to note, besides the brushes, is all the other accessories we use that still contribute to consumption of plastic. You mention eco-friendly soap packaging, and correctly note the futility of touting recyclability of plastic, but the fact remains that many soaps are still in plastic tubs and people are promoting them all the time... plus after- and pre-shave products in plastic, plastic razor blade packaging (à la Feather), plastic (PTFE) coatings on blades, plastic in the packaging for razors, lots of people use plastic washers for their razors... Maybe I should listen to the podcast episode. I think the key point I'm making here, besides the immediate response about synthetic brushes, is that while DE shaving is (at least from a surface glance) inherently more eco-friendly (or I guess I should say less harmful) than cartridge shaving (insane plastic waste) and electric (e-waste), and being eco-friendly is touted as an advantage of DE razors, the community is not necessarily more eco-conscious, as evidenced by the community's choice of accessories. The companies will respond to demand, so ultimately it's up to us to change. It's good to win other people over by promoting eco-friendliness, but ultimately it's a bit hollow when we (or at least many of us) are making up for our inherent lower consumption of plastic (no cartridges) by instead buying loads of brushes with plastic handles and possibly also plastic bristles, soaps in plastic tubs and blades in plastic packaging with plastic coatings on them. Okay, maybe it's still a lower plastic consumption overall, but we've a long way to go.

You are still the king of the face latherers!

I've been using the Genesis oneblade for a couple of weeks now and i now love it and wouldn't go back to DE razors and now oneblade have their own blades the HD carbon ceramic coated blade's theses are cheaper than the featherlight blades sharper and last longer apx 5-6 shaves i don't think it's an issue when you say the pivot is pointless around the upper lip it's not practicality useless it just doesn't need to be used it doesn't mean thats a negative issue

Wholly Kaw scents are awful. Their soap base might be good but what's the point of shaving with a product that smells like a tropical drink. I was gifted one of their soaps and immediately gave it away.

They should have used a Gem blade.

Hi there, I would want to buy face fat soap shaving. It looks like a really good one. Im from the USA. Anything else online?? Thanks!

You don't need to load the brush that much, just wasting soap. I literally load the brush for 5 seconds at the most and bowl lather the perfect amount for a three pass shave. Cella is great lather soap.

What is the name of S rank first artisan? And what is Maduff's logo? Where is it? Is it that sky blue colour logo?

I just purchased the Neon Sun aftershave to pair with my Taylor Of Old Bond Street lime zest shaving soap and Ariana & Evans unscented shaving soap. I am completely new to Noble Otter products so I also bought the Noble Otter deck of cards! I cant wait for my Noble Otter product to come in the mail! I am so excited for my next shave!

In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?

I don't like frothy lather and the post was quite uncomfortable

Just bought 250 Wizamet Super Iridium blades from The Razor Company. Looking forward to trying them for the very first time.

Sorry about this dude trolling me on this video, really trying to take the upper road but he is watching and clawing at me.

It looks as though The Razor Company is trying to kill the Lothur brand after purchasing it.

Hello nice shave. Smell strong or not?? Good cream....

Does this have a STRONG LIME scent? Im looking for a STRONG LIME scent. Any recommendations?

Great video. I have just used 4 of A & E's soaps. My fav is Asian Plumb. I would love to see Greece as a travel spot. I love Greek food and the pictures of the Greek Mediterranean I have seen are breathtaking. Cheers, Kevin

Man I miss this guy! One of the best channels and the whole reason I purchased a Blutt razor. He wasn’t wrong. Fantastic razor. This Paradigm video and commentary is why I wish he would come back to the hobby from a YT platform.

Great review. I just ordered a Pereira Shaving Bowl in Black.

Since MWF got rid of the tallow this is my favorite tallow shaving soap. This is a great performing soap. I love the smell, too!

Hello guy I agree about those blades don’t last long Like my RK blades last me from Friday to Friday then change the blades. On my Henson safety razor.

Do any Pucks or hard soaps will work? You can mix and match old soaps? to fit in any mug or cup that you like to use. like Mitchells' Wool Fat? Cut the bar soap up, put in a mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, microwave for a minute or so? if it foams up, stop ? let cool you just went to congeal' place in the sun, until soap hardens use dry brush more water i use Dove soaps there cheap and good save your money spend it on your wife don't listen to the shave mafia. wheelchair Larry Merry Christmas

What is the duration of the scent when you apply it!?? 2-3 hours ir less???

Who lathers for 10 minutes?

It was sooooo funny😂😂😂😂😂

I watched many of your videos, but now I know you a little. 🤞

Hi Enjoy your channel very much!How does this razor compare with a Rockwell 6 C/ Thnx!

Man I started 2 months ago and I already have 30 soaps ;D

Hi John here just put pre-order in for apollo light razor heard nothing good things on it

Refresh of top5 will be a good idea 😊😊

I have the Karve Overlander in aluminum. Absolutely love ❤️ it.

I bowl lather with distilled water. It works like magic.

I love la toja shave shave stick because it nourishes my skin and has a nice scent along with great slickness I just don’t like the packaging because the shave soap falls out great shave thanks for shaving !

Cella is very good for straight razor shavers. Does a good job of softening the beard. A lot of modern soaps don't

One of the best smelling scents ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you make of Lothur Grooming being purchased by TRC?

I will say that the way I use that I learned from another shave guy is that you want this more watery and not use a brush. Simply putting about an almond size drop on your wet clean hands and anb rub them really fast. It will get foamy then you apply to your against the grain up. I was skeptical, but tried it yesterday and it provided me the first time I was not irritated with the Arc shaver on my face. Results will always vary but maybe he was right.

Dude you out on Vids? You’re Blutt Rasur review is what made me get one! Phenomenal Razor! My current tops💪🏼
