A bloody average Pearl shave!

It’s fantastic to get a truly honest review of products! Thank You.

[@seanstapelfeld]

I really like your shaving technique! A lot to learn from your videos my friend

[@Nav_M]

Thanks for such an honest review. Unlike the other KZbinrs giving glowing reviews for rubbish pearl products.

Hi from Perth. I was given your details from one of the forums. I’ve subscribed looking forward to viewing some of your backlog videos. Not many Wet Shaving KZbinrs from WA 😊

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Nah certainly not buddy! Good luck with the back log, there’s over a 1000 to choose from 😂

If you won’t be using the shave soap and still have it, I’ll give it a go. It did look like your lather was a little dry.

I get a totally different scent off the soap. I get some lavender, some cider and citrus. Very nice scent to my nose.

Hi Chris. I feel sad to say this but nothing like the skinguard to those cuts. Although i love a DE everytime i cut myself i come to the skinguard next day. My everyday now is a rex envoy and untill today i have no complaints. Cheers mate.

If you have used the Rex Ambassador, how would you compare it to the Pearl Flexi? I've never heard of a poor soap being the cause of weepers? The lather looked thick and cushiony. But based on your experience, I'll pass on Pearl soaps! Considering all those weepers, I was surprised you didn't use alum and/or witch hazel in the post-shave. Better luck with your next shave!

So likely true; that some soaps if were never intended for wet-shave purposing, can allow giving face/skin cuts during the shave. This problem has only happened to me when trying certain bar soaps which were NOT advertised nor intended nor labeled for wet-shaving. Soaps which are packaged and sold AS shaving soaps have been just fine, not leading to cuts to skin.

@@10floz30minutes I should have said "shaving" soaps. I've never had irritation/weepers using shaving soaps (artisan or off-the-shelf). I have actually shaved with Dove Men+Care hand soap which also says it can be used for shaving. No issues. Dove would be an acceptable substitute if need be.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience with pearl shaving soap I’ve not tried it and certainly won’t be purchasing it either now but what a will say is pearl flexi is a winner for me as well does a great job. Good to hear about your football as well can’t beat football management kids learning of your coaching and skills a few of my mates here in Scotland do it also there young lads boys teams they work with and coach also 🙂🙌👏

[@leehaseley2164]

Sorry to see that the soap treated you so roughly, mate. What a load of old shite!

[@jmw3938]

Great video, Cris. Is it the (lack of) slickness in the soap that caused the damage, or something else? We’re all different, of course, but Derby blades give me a rough shave at the best of times; and I’ve never had the skill to use an aggressive razor. I thought you were game dialling the Flexi up to 6, but you handled it well. It was the final two passes (on setting 1) that got you. Go figure. Cheers. 👍🪒
