"Maybe you've heard you can save money" YES that is what i've heard too Geo ;-)

[@joescully8951]

Great video. I've watched your old video about wet shaving about 3 years ago and that's what made me switch to wet shaving and still am wet shaving. Kudos!!

[@britt5126]

Thanks for the great customer service and fast shipping!

[@brianreigle7905]

Just started about 1 months ago wet shaving after I stumbled on to a Geofatboy video and that changed everything. After watching videos for about 1 week of binge watching I made my first order to get my new Mekur 34C HD and some other supplies. About 2 weeks in I thin ordered a few different blades to try and that's were I'm at today. Already planning another order for another DE Razor. I really enjoy the Geofatboy videos.

Thanks Brian! I appreciate your input and support!

Shaving was a painful chore, now wet shaving is a pleasure. Thanks Geo for showing me the light!

[@Smootus]

Thank you Geo, wet shaving is the ONLY way to go.... no more irritated facial skin, no more ingrown hairs, and shave soap makes my face feel good.

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Geo- A nice introductory video for those interested in exploring wet shaving- nicely done, as always! I hope you are having a great weekend. Take good care, be safe and be well. Best regards, as always!

@GeoFatBoy You're the only shaving channel I subscribe to, and the only one I recommend. Because you're the only shaving KZbinr that just get right to business, with no nonsense. I don't need a weather report, a movie review, etc... I want to know about a razor, soap, blade, or whatever I'm looking at buying, and you constantly deliver. *Thank You!*

[@slyslancewall8156]

I have in my possession, the Gillette, 1909 or 1911 I guess you’re called the wet shave. It was my great grandfathers who was born in 1882 and was a prolific speaker and teacher and that was his razor blade and I’m gonna use it from Now On. Thanks

[@geofatboy]

Great hand-me-down! Enjoy it!

[@dannybeeson5084]

Thanks for making this video Geo. This is going to be my first recommendation now for anyone thinking about getting away from disposables.

[@briced.hornback1062]

Great info on how to use the Alum block... Still watching videos before my first wet shave with a vintage Gillette one-piece.

I have started shaving with safety razors in 2011 after seeing a video by geofatboy which he made for a friend or relative. Never went back to cartridge since then. I have several safety razors and a couple of brushes. The razors can last a lifetime. The quality shaving soaps and creams last much longer than what comes in the pressurised cans. Overall shaving became very pleasurable, not to mention way cheaper.

[@geofatboy]

Wow! That was back in the very beginning of ShaveNation.com . Thank you very much for your long term support!

[@juliancupillari8243]

10/10 video. Informative and concise. Thank you

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Julian. Greatly appreciated!

[@justkickitsfaceoff]

You got me into double edge and then straightedge shaving what 8 plus years ago? It’s the only way I shave, and my son is learning now. Love your vids and if you were in the UK I’d be all over your store. Keep it up Geo!

[@crunchyblack2224]

New subscriber here. I have been using cartridge razors since joining the Army 16 years ago. I’m beyond ready to change over as my face still gets very irritated after all of these years. I’m going to check out your store, thanks for sharing!

[@rossmcdonald7951]

1st Rate as per usual. You mix the information w/humor!

[@ursusmaritimus2224]

Great Geo as usual. Have a good day and you're fine 👋👋👋🇮🇹

[@ussilov]

nice subtlety Geo! way to keep it classy!

[@petervernelen6784]

Thx for the helpful videos, finding the right products and especially blades is the hardest part and can be a hassle I don't want to spend hundreds to try all the different stuff out

[@Kingrhem.]

This guy has a trust worthy feel to him trusty guido vibes

[@Samuel-ge7im]

Nice video Geo!

[@icecold2042]

Great video Geo, I always love to see those film references in there! 🎬

[@frankblack8448]

Nice video Geo. For any noobs out there who are wondering if it's worth it make the change to wet shaving you won't regret it.

[@valleyshaverjohn2821]

Morning Geo. This is an excellent video now all that has to happen is get or snare someone surfing KZbin to give it a chance. That is what happened to me. Enjoy!

[@johngoard8272]

Great video Geo short sharp (pun intended) and to the point no fluffing around with stories of different scents and such like - one of my pet dislikes about shaving videos - going on about notes of this and that instead of just staying it smells like whatever it is some of the shave vids you think you were talking about a fine wine LOL!! Take care mate - John down under

[@EasyTarget82]

Very good and informative. Great work Geo!

[@dangiampietro6606]

Excellent, as always.

[@johncuevas2745]

Thanks so much great information thanks

[@geofatboy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@riflessionitonsorie]

[@tonyk.9212]

Nice one geo... Super informative!

[@erokbrewmeister9231]

20 M views now Geo WOW ! Cheers my man !

[@dziadpaskudny]

Just wonder, would it be wise get into the wet shaving with feather artist club folding ss?

[@lommerdpassievrucht8555]

I love the safety razor shaves so far. I only have one problem. When i shave my neck i get a terrible rash. Any tips how i can fix it?

[@arbernani4727]

Job well done!

[@eminusipi]

You are my godfather of shaving! Where is the music in the background?

[@nawafalrashidi4774]

Thinks Geo you are excellent I learned a lot from you thinks💞

[@skoulikantera]

i've invested myself in traditional wet shaving for the last few months. i am enjoying every part of it (cremes, soaps, brushes, alum blocks, after shaves) except the safety razor. even with the sharpest of blades it doesnt seem to slice through my whiskers. guess its not for everyone. prolly gonna stick with cartridge/electric razors

[@colombianshaves9827]

if you enjoy it, you could try a slant razor, or a single edge AC razor since they seem to be more efficient than standard DEs, as a last resort, if cartridges do it for you, you could do still do the prep and wet shaving process with a cart; it is bound to give you better results than can foams/gels.

[@hUrFaH54]

Have you tried feather blades? One of those in a slant razor should do it

[@skoulikantera]

@@colombianshaves9827 yea i've been thinking of trying a slant. Thx

[@skoulikantera]

@@hUrFaH54 yea slant razor could be the real deal. Thx

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

Which one is your favorite DE razor blade?

[@MichaelBlocksom]

Wondering if anyone can help me out. I’m pretty new still to safety razor shaving. Still a beginner. Used it a handful of times. I know practice makes perfect. But I’m just wondering if I’m doing something wrong. I make pretty decent lathers with a shaving brush. But it still at times seems dry on my skin after a shaving pass. I always hear about how some soaps have good slickness but I’m not getting it. I’ve used arko soap and proraso cream. My other issue is it seems no matter where I hold the razor it doesn’t take hair off quickly. I use a Murkur 23C. And I’ve used pretty sharp blades. Feather. Gillette 7oclock. Sharks. But it never seems to get the hairs off as quick as it seems in some people’s shaving videos.

[@thomaspowers6761]

Nice video for the newbies Geo, I wonder how long it takes to consider oneself a veteran shaver as opposed to a rookie? I'm still going strong after about 7 months and I will never use a cartridge razor again. Keep it going Geo. Stay safe my friend.

[@nolinchitnis]

Is there a 'Make in America' or 'Made in America' movement for shaving products in USA which discourages sourcing razors and equipment from China?

[@ausvalvey7677]

What's the point of all the different aggressiveness razors when I could just get something adjustable like a Futur and have all of the options with one buy?

[@denniskarnes8680]

Because once you buy one razor, you WILL buy more razors, trust me, it becomes a hobby/addiction😂🤣😂No down side though.

[@HailLuzifer]

I got the Futur and its perfect exactly because its adjustable

[@mayankbhola4223]

Hello,im a 15 year old with a proper beard growth like adults and i find the cartridge razor very expensive, should i shave with a de razor? Also i get razor burn everytime i use a cartridge razor

[@HailLuzifer]

[@mayankbhola4223]
