[@dappershaves]

you wielded that sword beautifully, it’s approaching shovel territory 😂 The edge was very good and Eros is one of my favourite MSC soaps, you created a gorgeous lather. best wishes

[@seanstapelfeld]

Thank you so much my friend Jacques! I’ve been trying to get my lather as beautiful as yours! I watch your videos a lot 😂 love the Asmr videos with the birds in the background 🤌🏻

[@Lobstik]

That thing is HUGE!! I want one!! You handled those passes with authority…great job!💈🤘🏻

[@seanstapelfeld]

Thank you for those kind words! I think once you get used to such a big piece of equipment it can actually become easier than a smaller straight razor.

[@Lobstik]

I think you’re right, the more you use it the better you get with it!

[@longhaultanker]

Trying to make sense of the insane is… insane. Stand for what is right. What a razor! Good shave. I’m catching up. You gave me a good idea for a theme. God bless, Sean.

@@Dsktheshavingguy Thank you my friend! Eric the Cajun blade honed this one a Belgian coticule

[@josuetirado4499]

Bro! That blade is crazy lookin!!! Very very cool! That was an amazing video! Beast mode personified!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@seanstapelfeld]

Thank you so much Josue! It felt very different but looking at the video I must admit it’s a very cool looking razor! Would you ever try something that big?

[@josuetirado4499]

​@seanstapelfeld I haven't even had the courage to try a shavette yet😂😂😂😂

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@josuetirado4499 I’ll be honest… the shavette is probably going to give you more cuts that a big razor like this… the blade in the shavette is so thin I always cut myself with them haha

[@josuetirado4499]

Oh wow really? So when I'm ready I should skip the shavette and start with a true blade??

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@josuetirado4499 I would still start with a shavette because it teaches you technique without worrying about honing the razor and also if you get really good with shavette then you will be a million times better with straight razor!

[@asmrpillow457]

what is the background music you often have? it sounds like Elizabethan Tudor style classical music

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@asmrpillow457 You know your music man! You’re correct, it’s some form of classic style music. I use it because I like the aesthetic and it relaxes me. Did you study music my friend?

[@asmrpillow457]

@@seanstapelfeld at secondary school sure, plus I'm British so that sort of music sometimes gets played if you visit one of our many 16th century castles

@@seanstapelfeldI wasn’t doing the shave and it felt like my heart was going to rip through my chest. 😅

[@subtleartsoapco]

Nice shave Sean! That blade is outrages but it looked like it shaved great.

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@subtleartsoapco Thank you! Eric did a great job with the coticule edge on it, very smooth and comfortable shaver if you can get over the fact that you’re shaving with a shovel 😂

[@Martins-Shaves123]

Giant razors are awesome 😅 there's no size restrictions with straight razors , ⅜ to 13/8 , all are such a joy to use ....the edge is just as sharp on a ⅜ , its only muscle memory.....I bet you really enjoyed the feeling of achievement 😅😅😅. Well done Sean 👏. I knew you'd like the stability of a heavy blade .

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@Martins-Shaves123 indeed I did Martin and I must admit that you came to mind with your giant dragon razor haha it was one of the first videos I saw and remember being in awe! Cheers my friend

Fantastic shave Sean, even with big blade you make it looks easy, very true this world is gone soft, have great week ahead

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@jaguar-Films Thank you so much my friend! I shaved with a smaller razor today a 5/8 and I think I rather stay in 5/8 to 8/8 range hehe

Wow it was very nice of Micheal to let you use his razor to try it out. The intimidation was real. Thanks for sharing. It is always a pleasure watching your videos, you do an excellent job with your videos. Cheers!

@@nonamebear1136 Thank you Robert! Im really lucky to have a cool group of friends in the hobby! You guys make it worth it, Michael is such a nice dude! This was definitely intimidating to use such a big razor!

[@BigEShaves]

Great whisker cleaving with that Hatchet. It’s a good shaver but a bitch to hone it, but I am glad I got the chance to get’er done. Good stuff Sean.

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@BigEShaves great honing on the hatchet aka shovel Eric! Super comfortable coticule edge. You’re a master with those stones my friend and I encourage any person reading this to go check out your channel. Your latest coticule video was superb!

[@garys_shave]

Reminds me of the type of blade Jacques at Dapper Shaves would use. He has tried some really wild and cool looking blades. Cheers Sean🍻

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@garys_shave Thank you so much Gary! I like that, Jacques is such a master and really cool guy. Have you seen his motorcycle videos? They are extremely fun to watch his POV

[@borbelyhaz321]

Hi Sean. Like you're saying such a huge razor. Never tried such a big razor ever. Have a good hump day

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@borbelyhaz321 Thank you my friend! I enjoyed it, very fun to use but I think the biggest I like for my personal use would be an 8/8! Would definitely encourage you to try one tho if you had the chance they are fun haha

[@ChristiansWetShavingWorld]

Hi Sean my friend! This one hell of a shave with one hell of a straight razor 😮 Well done but kind of scary. Have a nice eve! Greetings from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany 👋🏻 Christian

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@ChristiansWetShavingWorld Thank you Christian! It was definitely a fun experience but I won’t lie to you I was nervous going into the shave. I think I will stick with smaller razors and play around with DE. Thank you for stopping by I’m looking forward to your next one!

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@Bamaboyshaving Thank you Michael! And thanks again for letting me try this giant hatchet hehe! If anyone is reading this make sure you check out my friend Michael over at Bamaboyshaving!

[@rp2construction]

That thing is a beast!! By all means, take your time!! Lol thanks again for sharing!! Just joined the world of SR shaving. Always wanted to, but dove in head first this year. Got myself a 6/8 Boker Elite Carbon 3.0 & a 4/8 Boker green abalone and I’m in love !! 😅 I’m hooked! 😂 Learned how to hone & I’m exploring new stones.. started with Naniwa 3k/8k combo and Naniwa 12k super stone and of course a 400&1200 Atoma diamond.. looking for a good cotucule now..

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@rp2construction Thank you my friend! That’s awesome, it really is the best way to shave and it can be very fun both the shave and the honing. For me it’s the fact that it’s a skill that you have to practice that makes it fun, not many people would know how to use a straight razor so it’s a small hobby and I love it! Those stones will get you some good edges and yes the coticule is a great stone! My most comfortable shaves have been from a coticule edge. Glad you joined into straight razor shaving my friend!

[@jpo31]

It's a large razor, but it identifies as a small razor. LOL.

[@seanstapelfeld]

Hahaha the best comment in this video for sure jajajaja

@@MesserOpa thank you for that comment my friend! This shave was a scary one 😂

[@MesserOpa]

@@seanstapelfeld Those are not for the faint of heart. I always liked them better than 7/8.

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@MesserOpa yeah I believe this was a 12/8 and I didn’t feel that comfortable but I’m in a raffle for a 10/8 razor and hopefully I win it and try that out… my favorite so far has been 8/8

[@MesserOpa]

@@seanstapelfeld Yep, 8/8 are great along with the 6/8. Never was a real fan of 5/8 as I do not shave every day but they work.

Small fat faces like mine are limited to 8/8. Nice of Michael to let you take the test drive.

@@jacksonsammuel486 Thank you for that my friend!

[@jpo31]

Nice shave Sean. I like large razors. In my opinion this type of razor needs to be perfectly balanced and the grip needs to lock the razor in your hand. A unbalanced heavy razor can be quite challenging to use. If you lived in Norway I would let you try one of my WoolfBlades. You forget that you are using a large blade because it's so well balanced and easy to hold on to. The new hyper sensitive woke movement is in my opinion doing more harm then good.

[@seanstapelfeld]

@@jpo31 That would be awesome my friend! I’ve seen his work and he is a master, I especially enjoy the way his smiling razors look. I think with enough use I would like such a big razor but for now 8/8 is what I feel comfortable with. I never thought I would see in the Olympics a man hitting a woman in a sport. Cheers my friend!
