Candure Shavette - Wilkinson Sword Classic - Maca Root

[@purpleglitteruk]

Hi Paul thank you so much for the birthday wishes & to Mrs H for the gorgeous flower display with all the purples! I watch all your videos on all your channels and look forward to them. Keep up the great stuff you do and I really do appreciate what you both did for me today. Hope you have a lovely Sunday ;-) Natalie

[@PaulHFilms]

Hi Natalie, your very welcome, hope you had a great Birthday, and glad you enjoy the videos on all channels, thanks for watching them.....much appreciated.....have a great Sunday too.....Paul.

[@jeremyvuozzo9677]

Nice shave Paul. For someone who doesn't care for straights/shavettes, you know how to handle one. You looked like you were done after the first pass!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Jeremy, my heart is in DE or SE razors, but it's nice to use one like this now and again....have a great Sunday....Paul.

[@stevem1563]

Great to see the shavette. I could not agree more about the Maca Root. Good stuff and very slick. Cremo does not lather as well, but is also another product with amazing slickness. Cheers. Steve

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Steve, hope your having a good week......Paul.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great shave, well done with that Shavette Paul! 💈👍🙂

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, enjoyed it, even though it was one pass...worked well for me...all the best.

[@yarekim5932]

[@PaulHFilms]

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there, hope you have a great day Michael, and thanks.....Paul.

[@stevewood3635]

Nice shave Paul. I always enjoy the opening music, and the wonderful job that Mrs. H does with the flowers. I can't wait to try the Maca Root shave soap. have a great week!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you very much Steve.

[@johnjames218]

I use a blade six times, the first five times with different DE razors then on the sixth I snap the blade insert it into a shavette and do a three pass shave, this week it's been the Parker 31R stainless steel shavette which gave a fantastic close shave Great vid Paul as always

[@PaulHFilms]

Sounds a great shave John....all the best and thanks.....Paul.

[@The_Spectre.]

Thanks for sharing the video, Paul. I have a Parker shavette that I take out for a spin now and then. Kudos to Mrs. H for the beautiful flowers!

[@PaulHFilms]

Nice to use them now and then, many thanks........Paul.

[@toddf9321]

Happy Father's Day Paul! You are man of many shave talents. Your WTG pass was very nice and you could have stopped there with a SAS. I did find the Maca Root cream at my local Military Exchange, so now I have a source. I see you are still sweating, so I know it is hot for you. The temperature here has hovered at 34° C for the last week with severe thunderstorms...a lot of damage due to 140 kmh winds. Roast lamb steak dinner with all the trimmings; drooling here. I could go for a cider just about now. My supper is a mystery due to it being Father's Day. If I am given a choice; Italian. Possibly my son will grill, so still good. I have had my Father's Day shave; an all British line-up: Gillette Aristocrat #16, 1970 Gillette Platinum blade, Castle Forbes Lime shaving soap with matching balm. Fantastic shave; close and comfortable. I am ready for my day, please enjoy yours...the Misses and you! Tell her those were lovely flowers. Cheers.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Todd, yes enjoyed using this shavette, the one pass is good enough for me, hope you had no damage with the storms, and also hope you had a great Fathers Day.....fantastic...glad you got the Maca root, scent not so good, but performance is yet to be beaten.....all the best and enjoy your week......Paul.

[@toddf9321]

Hi, I saw a more $$$$$ shavette on YT, a Feather SS I believe. It mimics a hollow ground straight in weight and performance. Storm damage: My area was hit hard over the course of 3 nights. Damaging straight line winds plus down draft coupled with some embedded funnel clouds made for many broken tree, roof damage, siding damage, and power outages. I have 10 trees on my property and each one is damaged. Two of them to the extent I need the Arborist to attempt a repair. Honestly, I live in Tornado Alley and Springtime is bad for these damaging storms. By the end of June they will diminish in frequency and intensity. Once the heat dome builds, it caps thunderstorm development. However, it will be HOT...41° plus. Stay cool Paul!

[@markanthonysmith413]

That was a different shave Paul, and some great products as well the Lucky Tiger seems very nice, hope you've had a good weekend, all the best Mark.

[@PaulHFilms]

A bit of a change Mark, yes enjoyed it, had a good week thanks, hope you have too mate.....all the best...Paul.

[@DismontDeSire]

I'm ready to shout for joy!)) At last. Shavette and without nicks and cuts. You did very well. Slippery and wet soap, a pledge of haste! Good choice of blade, I will also try it. Beautiful razor, bright. Thanks for flowers and good shaving video.

[@PaulHFilms]

Glad you enjoyed it, yes it was a good pass using the shavette....blade worked well in it too.....all the best....Paul.

[@davidpackkard3354]

*Lowri is killing the flower arrangements!* _Thanks for the vlog Paul._

[@davidpackkard3354]

_My hands are not steady enough to use a Shavette or Straight. More power to those who can._ The Wilkinson Sword Classic is one real consistent DE razor! *I really like it!!*

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks David...much appreciated.

[@kirkgreen4660]

Awesome video Paul. Loved seeing the shavette. Being primarily a straight razor shaver, it was a treat to see. No pun intended. Lol. Take care my friend.

[@PaulHFilms]

Many thanks Kirk, glad you enjoyed it.....Paul.

[@marccrawford2645]

After a year-and-a-half of high-quality shaves the Wilkinson Sword classic finally snapped. I will be ordering another.

[@PaulHFilms]

Shame that happened, but good they are not that expensive.....all the best Marc.

[@marccrawford2645]

Thank you kind Sir.

[@jarrydpitt6311]

Excellent shave Paul hope your having a happy Father's day and tell Mrs. H the flowers are beautifullly done.💈💈💈💈

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you Jarryd, much appreciated......all the best...Paul.

[@tborden5818]

Was nice to see you use a shavette Paul. You didnt look at all uncomfortable with it. I also use mine in combo with a DE. Great shaves that way. Applied to join your wet heads group on FB.

[@PaulHFilms]

Enjoyed the shave, nice change to use the shavette too.....hope you enjoy the FB group too...all the best....Paul.

[@AshOutdoors]

Hi Paul, great shave as always, maca root was the cream that gave me the confidence to go against the grain for the first time as i suffer from irritation, now with a good slick soap/cream and a good pre shave routine i can go against the grain every time and it was watching these here videos that i gained all my tips and tricks so i must thank you sir! All the best and enjoy the sunday dinner bud! Ashley.

[@PaulHFilms]

It's good shaving soap, and great to know it worked for you against the growth...fantastic.....all the best, and dinner is being cooked as I type :)

[@AshOutdoors]

PaulHFilms i like the floral scent to so even more of a bonus! it gave me the confidence to try ATG with my other soaps/creams too, i find Tabac to be the slickest soap ive tried up to now though and i love the scent of that aswell so another win win 👌 enjoy the dinner Paul! Ash.

[@alexanderjones8427]

Beautiful Flowers as always. Great shave again. My latest purchase arrived yesterday - Taylor or Old Bond Street Peppermint. I love the orange Lucky Tiger but haven't tried the Aspen. All the best.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you, love the peppermint.....and Aspen is a nice classic smelling aftershave.....all the best....Paul.

[@efcs1]

Paul another fantastic video. Once a week I do one pass with a Feather shavette. I like the scent of the Maca root. Not the best scent ever, but pleasant. Have a good day.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks John, yes nice to use it now and again....have a great week ahead.....Paul.

[@c.guardino6094]

Paul I think you may have helped me change my mind about trying out a shavette. Great shave. Thanks

[@PaulHFilms]

That's great, hope you enjoy it.....Paul.

[@mcjohnson87124ify]

have a happy fathers day, and how better to start out the day than with an awesome shave!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you Michael, can't beat a good shave, have a great day....Paul.

[@Gowntlet]

Oh Paul, Happy to see you again

[@PaulHFilms]

Many thanks.

[@kensurfs]

Great shave Paul.👍👍

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks very much Ken.

[@daringlisson9353]

Great job with the shavette Paul. Seemed easier than the last time I seen you use a straight.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Darin, yes this one pass seems more enjoyable for me....so may do more like that in future....all the best....Paul.

[@CincyShaves]

You made the 1st pass look easy, I know better. Fantastic shave as usual. I find that I cannot shave close with the Wilkinson Sword razor but I do like it a lot!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, I think the Wilkinson Sword Classic works best with short strokes and rinsing often especially for some people....good razor....all the best and thanks.....Paul.

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

Great shave Paul!

[@PaulHFilms]

Many thanks Marco....hope your having a good week.

[@josefmaier4173]

I like the Wilkinson razor too. A cheap razor, i bought in Austria under 4,-- Euros With 5 Blades. And a very good razor for wet shave beginners.

[@PaulHFilms]

Good razor isn't it.....all the best and thanks.....Paul.

[@bendycard]

Nice shave Paul, for an occasional straight/shavette user you don't do badly 😌👏 As a shavette nut, I recommended the Treet because I know it's good, it's my favourite shavette blade at the moment because of its smoothness, I've used one about 100 times, for 3 passes and never had a single problem. Beautiful flowers Mrs H 😌👍💐

[@PaulHFilms]

Great blade choice Dave, it worked great.....hope you have a great weekend......thanks.....Paul.

[@bendycard]

Thanks Paul, and good job with shavette, you never looked like catching yourself. Weekend is going well, and my little Ben is almost fully recovered after twisting his knee last week. Have a good week yourself!

[@1o1s1s1i1e]

Great shave Paul! I have no desire to try a shavette or straight razor but I'm glad to see how to use one properly. I was fascinated to watch my barber use a straight razor as a boy waiting for my turn in the chair. Watching him use the big leather strap that hung off the chair to put an edge on the razor, and the sound of the brush in the mug as he made up the lather are still fresh in my mind. Just when I think Mrs. H couldn't top herself she does! Beautiful flowers! My guess on the pink ones are peonies, love that scent. Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's out there! Sunday dinner sounds a treat Paul! 61f and raining here this morning so no need to water the gardens today. Take care, Ossie

[@PaulHFilms]

Many thanks as always Ossie, my preference is DE too, but I enjoy using the straight or shavette now and again (keeping my hand in)...lol.....nice you don't have to water the gardens, hot here today, no clouds about 30c at the mo...with humidity too.....just watered the toms and chilli.......Mrs H says thanks too for your kind words.....all the best....Paul.

[@s.j.l.8736]

Good video Paul. All the best....Steven.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Steven.

[@conversationalshaving9805]

Now, I want to try that Lucky Tiger Aspen. Also, I was wondering if a straight razor might be easier for me to use than a shavette, and you've given me food for thought there. Nice flowers again too. Great video!

[@PaulHFilms]

A straight is more forgiving than a shavette Don, the Lucky Tiger Aspen is nice.....all the best..and thanks....Paul.

[@spikeg.jr.4893]

Nice shave for a change, a shavette and de shave!

[@PaulHFilms]

A nice change, thanks.

[@nikospap8470]

First off, Vivaldi winter !!! Lovely music choice albeit in summer onset it'all seasonal.Gonna watch the rest of the video now!!!

[@PaulHFilms]

Hope you enjoy it Nikos thanks.

[@nikospap8470]

I know you own one of those excellent dovo shavettes with that long dovo blades (you had bought it from a shaving store in London) meant to have the straight razor's actual length. I think it's more comfortable using it with those blades. Remember to stretch your skin at all times, it really takes its performance off. I used to be an exclusively straight razor shaver until i started watching your videos whitch turned me into a semi straight,semi DE razor user.Your videos fan from the off Paul and i really did enjoy this one! BTW maca root looks good is it pricey?Cheers !!

[@ericnepogoda9165]

Waiting for you to grab an Omega brush & dig into one of those Col. Conk pucks. The scents are ok, but no issues with performance. Never had a problem whipping up a thick, "pasty" lather. Definitely one of my favorite inexpensive brands of soap.

[@PaulHFilms]

Should be good Eric, I have used there soap before and it worked ok too.....all the best and thanks....Paul.

[@Chris-zz8jx]

Nice shave Paul. In my opinion i think it would be fitting for UK youtube shavers to do a shave dedicated to those that passed away at Grenfell Towers.

[@PaulHFilms]

Glad you enjoyed it Chris thank you. That tragic and horrific fire is still tender in peoples hearts here at the moment. I'm sure those who want to make dedicated videos will do.

[@Chris-zz8jx]

PaulHFilms I agree it is still raw in peoples hearths and minds. It is my hope that many good KZbinrs do a dedication video in the same way the recent terrorist attacks were acknowledged.

[@MrUlski]

the pink things are called Paeonia. Maca root is my preferred soap if I'm in a hurry. I never get any cuts or nicks when using maca root - it is incredibly protective and rises off nicely and doesn't clog up the razor. Some should tell body shop to make some more creams with nicer scents, because I agree with you that the scent is the weak point of maca root.

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes, so I am informed by Mrs H....nice flower.....good shaving soap isn't it.....(scent could be better)......hope you have a great Sunday.....Paul.

[@MrUlski]

PaulHFilms I only know what they are called because I have them growing next to the garage - they are super pretty but they will bend down when it rains because the flowers will become too heavy so you end up having to have sticks and pieces of string to hold them up

[@stevecrane3054]

So true mr h maybe fishing to lol great video

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Steve.

[@maksim3944]

thank you!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you too.

[@thorwulfx1]

I do like the Maca Root cream. As you say, super slick and nutrative to the skin. I find the scent underwhelming, which is my only complaint. I may try it tonight and put something in to kick it up a notch. Perhaps some lemon oil and a bit of menthol. I like that the lashings of...has become an audience participation gag during the shave.

[@PaulHFilms]

The scent is not good, but soap works well, good idea to add something.....all the best and thanks Patrick....Paul.

[@lennardwillemars1329]

Hi Paul! Shaving has been good lately! I got my hands on a puck of ''De Vergulde Hand'', and just a few days ago my two new razors arrived, but still waiting on my shavette (Funny how I plan on doing something and then you make a video of it, keeps happening!). A Ball end tech and a 3rd quarter of 1965 Gillette Slim Adjustable, of which the last I used today going all the way up to setting 7 because I couldn't really feel the blade doing much. But I have a question: the Ball end does not have a date code. It is like yours, and pictures on the Internet say that it is a 1950's Ball end, going by the placement of the logo and ''Made in England'' stamp, and other information says it should be from or after 1952, because of the corners of the guard. Also, mine has a light (Aluminium) handle and guard, and a heavier head. I don't know if that is standard or not. I can't seem to find much information on that, but do you maybe know something that I don't? Much appriciated in advance! Also a tip for you: If it is hard to keep the blade in place in the shavette when closing it, you kan put a little bit of water on the shavette to let the blade stick to it. ''Heb een fijne week Paul!''

[@PaulHFilms]

It's great your having good shaves of late.....good soap that, I have some....hope the shavette arrives soon, your Ball End Tech sounds exactly like mine yes, no date codes, very light handle and slightly heavier head.....very much the standard for them....1950's is all I know, hope you have a great Sunday...all the best and thanks.....Paul.

[@technicallybrilliant2760]

Hi Paul , ive actually commented after a brief silence :) not intentional , just due to work mate . I have been thinking of getting a shavette , just for the tricky areas .... and using my slant for the main open spaces :) - good video as always mate , ive taken my chilli plants out of the greenhouse and stuck them on the table under the umbrella on the decking up the top of my garden , i have several decking areas . take care have a nice relaxing sunday .

[@PaulHFilms]

Hi Mark, no worries mate, life is busy, and these videos are always here.....nice to get the chilli plants outside, hot here at the moment.....good luck with yours....all the best....and thanks....Paul.

[@technicallybrilliant2760]

your the tops ;) x

[@bendycard]

Technically Brilliant if you don't mind me making a recommendation, as someone who has been using a shavette pretty much daily for over 18 months, then go for something like Paul bought (or a Sanguine, Parker, ...) rather than one like a Dovo. They are great and I love mine, but they have more blade exposure and I honestly couldn't recommend one for a first shavette. 😌 I'm an admin in a FB group called Shavette World (Ronnie Greher's group), it's a really nice group, and if you ever want any tips or tricks we'd all be more than happy to help.

[@technicallybrilliant2760]

[@PaulHFilms]

A great idea, I have done the same in previous years too.....nice touch isn't it.....all the best and thanks.....Paul.

Hi Mister H ,Please tell me which of the DE razors are good for a sensitive skin? Not to be aggressive.thank you greetings from Romania

[@PaulHFilms]

Hello, The mild razors, such as: Wilkinson Sword Classic DE Razor Edwin Jagger DE89 (slightly more aggressive than the Wilkinson Sword) Vintage adjustable Gillette Hope this helps a bit......Paul.

[@christopherwalker4606]

Have you used Wilkinson sword classic cut throat razor yet

[@LeeBscHons]

I used a haryali shavette when I first started traditional shaving, I used it for 2 years and rarely walked away from a shave cut free. I then switched to a real straight razor for a year and had some of the closest and most comfortable shaves. After a year I went back to the shavette, just to try it after experiencing a real straight, I cut my face a lot... again. For me personally, for my skin, the shavette is too precision, too machined. If you are starting off straight razor shaving, I recommend getting a real straight. Real straight razors are more forgiving. You don't have to spend a fortune, I use a gold dollar 66 everyday and it is perfect. 20 euro for the gold dollar and a strop on ebay. I have been using a real straight for 3 years now and I rarely touch the shavette.

[@PaulHFilms]

Very nice, I too have the Gold dollar straight razor, much easier to use than the shavette, as stated in the video...hope it helps others to decide....DE is my first choice, always enjoyed it......all the best and thanks....Paul.

[@Alex00789]

Hello Paul. Do you clean the Wilkinson Sword Classic in the same way as another safety razor?

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes more or less the same.

[@Alex00789]

PaulHFilms Use a toothbrush or scrub brush with dish soap?

[@davehenley3375]

Paul do uou you rate the Taylor of old bond street aftershaves? hsve they got a nice smell?

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes they are very good Dave, but they don't last long enough for me... 3-4 hours.

[@timkennedy1192]

No Paul, I am not going to try a shavette. You did well: I was very impressed that there was no blood. Recently, I discovered that the Chinese have brought out a clone of the Merkur Futur (which always intrigued, but was too rich for my blood.) It is marketed here in the US as the Qshave or the Ming Shi at 1/6 the the cost of the Futur. If any of your followers have experience with this clone, I'd appreciate advice as to whether to purchase it.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Tim, I think the Suffolk Shaver has used the Ming Shi 2000.....also Steve Faragher from the Big Shave, he states there is not much difference between the real Futur and itself....all the best....Paul.

[@davehenley3375]

have you got any geo f trumper aftershave paul?

[@PaulHFilms]

I think I may have one Dave....can't remember which....must check.

[@Alex00789]

Is the Parker 26C a good second safety razor ? Edwin Jagger 89DE was my first.

[@PaulHFilms]

They are both good razors, it depends what you want from a second razor, but yes it is a good razor...DE89 is excellent too.....all the best Alex....Paul.

[@Alex00789]

[@DavidTorres-zp1ef]

Don't let your majesty watch this shave. Only two razors as he throws arms up to the air Queen Guinevere observe this peasant. What do you speak of. His Lordship replies this little man only used 1 shavette and one de razor a plastic one too boot. Well I would have used 2 SE razors and 3 DE razors made of gold I tell you. Yet I cant look away from Mr. Humphreys channel. Queen replies so now he has a name. All The Best, Paul

[@PaulHFilms]

Good script that would be David....lol.....thanks and all the best.....Paul.

[@royrobinson7570]

Paul did the same as you with the shavette then a de razor prefer the de razors got a cheap shavette all stainless steel from ebay for £2 then bought a bluebeards revenge the cheap steel one is better for me

[@PaulHFilms]

Nice Roy, makes the shave interesting, and it works well....all the best.....Paul.

[@davehenley3375]

ok paul

[@WolfRanger2008]

Speaking only for myself but shaving with a shavette or straight is something done to prove more to oneself that the talent and/or skill to do so is there but not an absolutely necessity to be a "legitimate" wet shaver. Or as you said, something to do to keep your hand in. Honestly, I see that a straight style razor is more intended to be used on the shaver and not so much by the shaver. So, shaving at awkward angles is unavoidable and it makes good sense to have a second razor for that purpose. Although I must say I have found that using a shavette on unwanted body hair is a breeze... It annoys me to no end when I see the adage 'a straight razor shave is the best shave'...A BBS is a BBS. It does not matter which tool delivered it....Anyway, enough pontificating... ;-)

[@PaulHFilms]

Yep a shave is a shave, no matter what is used....and these did the job very well for me...hope you have a good week ;-)
