[@whippet6636]

ive had my starter kit for a week i love it what a deal thx for the head up nick guys dont worry about this purchase like nick said its a DEAL

[@kristfur]

That brush alone is worth the money. Great brush!

[@gzo313]

I have this razor and it is very good for the money. Derby blades not so much.... my go to blade is the Persona Lab Blue for this one.

[@Ryland_28]

It's cool to see that they used this review to accompany the page for the kit.

[@kadendecker880]

Thanks Nick! This video came just in time I’ve been looking around for the best starter kit to get my dad into wet shaving for Christmas

[@UniversalExports]

I purchased the brush based on your recommendation Nick and i have not been disappointed, its an amazing brush!

[@mikeh9701]

Thanks, Nick- enjoy the rest of the week. Take care!

[@ElnuevoCologne101]

Excellent video Nick, don't know about the razor or the blades but the soap and the brush sounds very appealing to me

[@ThtsDirty]

I think the best shaving kit is very subjective but this starter kit is pretty good for the price. Might have to pick up the soap to try, I dig the label design.

[@ianmuessig]

Those baili razors really aren't bad at all! I'm impressed with the RR WTP soap, it looked like even just the bloom water started to lather with your fingers.

[@ninjagous]

Good to have you back Nick!

[@jondaniels4325]

Your awesome man, love watching your videos. You've inspired me to purchase a safety razor and begin my unbelievable shaving experience!

[@nickshaves]

Thanks man! I am glad that you are enjoying a safety razor and that my videos have been helpful

[@jondaniels4325]

nick shaves so ummm........can I please have that brush in your giveaway?

[@jondaniels4325]

nick shaves I entered 😆

[@stephenmkeer]

Are we going to get a shave gear of the year 2017 video soon ?

[@panchotheaddict420]

yes maybe at the end of 2018

[@39Cholo]

That's a great deal, all that for half the price or the merkur 34c. Even if not the best quality great for a travel set if nothing else.

[@anthonypalermo7143]

Excellent video, Nick! This is now going to be what I recommend when suggesting gear to new wet shavers. Loving the variety of your newest videos. What RazoRock razor is your personal favorite?

[@aerosnout]

Can you make a video of the best barbershop scents ? Thanks!

[@johnny5.56]

Roger Duran Seville, Ghost town barber, Kraken

[@Crazy4CaitlinHart]

For just a trim like that I don't use anything but the razor, no soap, works fine if you don't dilly dally too long after getting out of the shower.

[@darkwish210]

Nick I’d like to see you use something adjustable like the Ming Shi razor. Under $10 razor but does the job so well. Basically the same as the Merkur Futur.

[@goldensteeltv8546]

The RazorRock Quick-Change razor is a rebranded Baili razor, if you don't know about this

[@nickshaves]

Good call! I will mention this in a future video

[@jillsnoddon4463]

Mine arrived today and sure is a good value. I love Italian Barber. Of course, they always throw in some samples of products. The Quick Change Razor is a knockoff of the Vikings Blade Chieftain. but with a shorter guard and not as heavy.

[@pwnyexpress15]

That's a great deal, not a fan of the derby blades but the rest of the kit is a steal.

[@russellbailor1707]

Great starter kit.

[@williamlohnes3838]

Question for you Nick can you please do a video of the stick version of the same soap you're using in this video? Thanks.

[@koskey06]

I need to try derby blades again. I tried them once and it was awful. I was using a 59 super speed. Might try it in a adjustable or something since most say its a decent blade.

[@nate4shave]

Nice products details provided

[@nathanieldaiken1064]

Blue tee shirts suit you! Reminds me of Superman! Surely someone else has commented on that.

[@halloweenfiend666]

the muhle r41 is my daily shaver

[@evanblake7604]

I use a Merkur 1904 open comb

[@tomarnold4504]

This is perfect thanks Nick! I have 3 kits to buy for Christmas this year for my boys. Kits I was looking at all ranged around 50. You just saved me some money!

[@kurtramdath8341]

not sure if i missed it, but are you using the derby blades? or another DE blade

[@joyghosh7239]

Nice kit nick me2 also participating in movember why don't you buy the merkur futur for ur movember shave

[@Madkent94]

You should do a video where you try to get the cheapest wet shaving gear possible while still being a good shave. I reckon you could get a cheap chinese razor, some derby blades, an arko stick and a cheap brush for under $10.

[@tkmr2]

Can you post a link to that kit?

[@Ryland_28]

I'm still new to wet-shaving and I just recently tried a soap for the first time. Being that I much prefer face lathering, I went with a couple of sticks rather than pucks which I found to be incredibly user friendly. Why don't sticks receive more recommendation for beginners? They're much more user friendly.

[@warrenburch6545]

👍 Nice kit for the price! 💈

[@shavefan12]

Great kit! Oh, Italian barber has their what the puck soaps on sale right now for $2.99.

[@shavefan12]

Haha, I posted that right before you mentioned the promo. Lol

[@whippet6636]

55 year old noob at safety razor shaving, just bought the kit.

[@oscrm1760]

Sorry my ignorance , im an rookie yet change at DE razor , the shaving soap when brush and form that paste after i only clean with water the soap and ready for the next shave, how much can long that shaving soap sorry my english thanks

[@lumberbrain]

Oscr M....If I'm getting this right you're asking how long the soap lasts. If you shave once or twice a week the soap should last a few months.

[@MrIsaac-qc8dc]

Nick, what did you think of that shave soap.

[@jillsnoddon4463]

Just ordered the kit tonight. They are out of stock on the aftershave though :(

[@oneshoeless]

Do you bloom all of your soaps or just the soaps that are very hard? Like you, I have a few more days before the beard comes off. I really been working on my straight this month. I figure I might be able to use it for a full shave by December. We'll see...

[@johnny5.56]

Joe Jackson all artisans I've seen on r/w_e say to not bloom their soaps. Maybe if the soap is extremely hard but you shouldn't bloom 99% of them.

[@oneshoeless]

That is why I was asking. Because in almost every video, I see him bloom the soap. Thanks.

[@GavinB111]

Well spoken, awesome video. 10 months late but great nonetheless!

[@rb6120]

I’ve tried the what the puck Orange sunrise soap...excellent scent..I’m gonna order the other 2. Great video!

[@nickshaves]

I bought that one too, and the line. I think that the orange is the best scent, but at the price point they are all worth it!

[@GadgetMart]

Best wet shave kit: Merkur Progress, Semogue boar brush, Proraso soap, Gillette Rubie/Nacet.

[@ramjet118]

Derby blades....Not the greatest, but good for atleast one shave. Just careful with multiple passes on the shave. Best item on there is the brush. Soft wonderful goodness! lol

[@aronali1122]

Where do I get this at

[@anthonygonzalez7362]

Where do you order all of your stuff from

[@davidpackkard3354]

. I just ordered 2 of those *RazoRock Quick Change razors.* 1 4 my stepson & 1 4 my grandson. _They're both lazy so the quick cleaning of the razor should really appeal to them._ lol

[@davidpackkard3354]

. Don't use the *Muhle R41.* Use the *Merkur 25C* or the *Parker 24C.* *_Open comb_*_ is the most efficient way to remove long hair without a doubt!_ You know this Nick.

[@6.4DieselDoctor]

Looks identical to the Rockwell R1 razor

[@TheBritishPatriot]

Damn, if only international shipping didin't cost an arm and a leg.

[@muirhouseterrace]

I know, a fairer price would be a toe nail and dump.

[@YamadaDesigns]

Which starter kit is it?

[@cariza5]

That Razor is made in China under the name of Baili BD179 and can be found dirt cheap on Ali Express.

[@spikeg.jr.4893]

one day left then goodbye to Nick's beard ):

[@RealNoahMC]

What is the best shaving soap you've encountered so far?

[@Darkninja282]

Lol when you said it smelled of citrus and powder I thought what do you mean laundry soap?

[@scottrcall]

That razor looks exactly like the Vikings Blade Chieftain, which runs for $37 by itself.

[@IDWIE]

Derby blades are the shit. I don't care what anyone says.

[@MrBeyboo]

IDWIE there was a time maybe 10 years ago that any forum members like on B&B and others used to have derby as their go to shaving blades...

[@IDWIE]

Beyboo Boy When I was getting into wet shaving, all I kept hearing was Feather, Feather, Feather, and Derby is a starter blade. Have tried many blades including Feather and Derby keeps being the smoothest.

[@rayr5950]

I'm in the Derby blades are shit camp. I can't understand why some people say they are smooth, to me they are rough and really irritating. Last time I used one my neck was red for 2 days, and I don't have sensitive skin.

[@IDWIE]

Ray R I guess we're all different. I have crazy sensitive skin and Derby is the only razor that doesn't irritate my skin. Are you using a good soap/alum block/after shave? What blades work for you?

[@rayr5950]

Obviously we are all different. Yep, I think I was using Stirling then and I use an alum block. A lot of blades work for me, Astra SP, Polsilver, Dorco's, Bolzano etc...

[@DismontDeSire]

I think you have an inaccuracy in the description. Razor from RazoRock. ) Thanks for good shaving video!

[@JRCW892]

We can understand by the noise that this blade isn't sharp.

[@lumberbrain]

Movember...should be called "No-shave-nobody-gives-a-shit."

[@davidcoleman2463]

That is stupid . I shave when I want .

[@jetblack4715]

Really used to like Nick, but since he started growing that beard don't see a point in his videos. It's not wet shaving its trimming.
