Feather Popular DE Razor | Erasmic Shave Stick

[@cpfrombvbalisongs8696]

In 28 years of shaving, since changing over to bowl lathering with different soaps rather than mug lathering with the same puck brand, I have found that warmed distilled water makes much better lathers for my area. The water is so hard, you can sand wood with it.

[@sbcwinn]

I recently wrote a blog post on my recommended newbie razors. The Feather Popular was in fifth place. I have bought a few in my life before I started GSCI. I gave one to my son as his first razor. I used to give them to friends. For about $20 it is a great purchase. Comes with 5 x Feather blades which shave well with the Popular, without the risk of nicks etc. Nice video. Mrs. H really outdid herself! The flowers are gorgeous.

[@bladeskull2482]

Very nice shave sir. It’s great that you can visit the memories of your father.

[@Rood67]

Truly enjoyed you speaking of your Dad and grandfather. Good comments of the razor. Thanks for specifying this is a mild razor. Should do well with a Feather blade.

[@alteroldesloer1709]

Hallo Paul, was für eine schöne Rasur und mit einem völlig neuen alten Pinsel - ein hervorragender Pinsel, insbesondere für Rasiersticks. Mein Kompliment an Mrs. H, die Blumen sind wunderschön. Best wishes from north-germany.

[@johngoard8272]

Hmm, Feather Popular is one of my go-to razors fantastic little device for the money eh?

[@santaclaus179]

there is a very nice song from an italian composer speaking about the fact that the house where he was born does not exist anymore and everything changed in that neighborhood, the song is called "la maison ou j'ai grandi " " the house where I grew up ", by francoise hardy ( sorry don't have the c with the accent ) but was composed by the Italian adriano celentano and the name of the song was " il ragazzo de la via gluck ", very sentimental song

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Paul- Great shave and shave stick review; thank you! A very nice remeniscence about your Dad and his birthplace, thank you. Lovely flowers from Mrs H, as always; thank you! I hope you have a great rest of the week. Take good care and be safe and be well. See you on Sunday for the weekend shave. Best regards, as always, Paul!

[@toddf9321]

Good evening Paul! Mrs. H has done it again; lovely floral arrangement as usual...thank you! Shave sticks: the collection in the den has grown. My favorites are...La Toja, LEA, Palmolive, and Wilkinson Sword...in that order. The wonderful thing about the La Toja is weepers/nicks stop bleeding due to the salt content (I believe) plus in a creamy lather that feels good on the face. I had good luck with most Japanese products. They are 99.9% defect free. Even this inexpensive Feather Popular is precision made. SOTD: 1949 English made Gillette Aristocrat razor loaded with a 1970 made in England Gillette Platinum blade (5th use). Pre-1960 William Mug shaving soap lathered with a Graydog Spalted Maple 26 mm synthetic brush. This time I loaded slightly wetter brush about 25 seconds on the vintage Williams and was rewarded with a mountain on dense, creamy, goodness. Traditional 3 pass shave plus pick-ups. Finished with Thayers's AF SF skin toner and Stirling Executive Man aftershave. BBS results and I smelled good (just like Creed Aventus). My Grandfather was born in 1906 and all his life he kept saying life is getting overly complicated with newfangled devices. He died in 1977 in his field of trees (Nurseryman/tree grower). I think he would have a mental breakdown if he was trusted into today's world. Your products did the job; you have a nice shave! Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy please and take care!

[@mathieuplatteel1284]

started 8 month ago with classic shaving using a feather popular. Loved it and switched to a rockwell6s, for its weigth. Then i gave away the popular to a friend who had a lot of razor burn with cardridge razors (even with only 1 shave a week). He is also very happy using a DE razor. The burn is a lot less now.

[@deshave5260]

Beautiful flowers and music Mrs H. Great vid, Mr H. I agree about the hard water situation when it comes to lathering certain soaps. I live in Kent and whatever I try, I can't get Mitchell's Wool Fat to lather. I've tried blooming it overnight, boar, horse and synthetic brushes. We live in a hard water area, so I think that's the reason. Still, you can't win 'em all. Please keep up the good work, guys. We all really appreciate the effort that you make.

[@bradleycred99]

Howdy Paul and Mrs. H. Crackin’ flower arrangement and shave. Thanks for sharing your family remembrances. I hope to see your neck woods one day. Cheers! 🍻

[@audiopain]

my shave yesterday was the following : Hawkins and Brimble pre shave scrub during the shower,Pro Raso sensitive pre shave,EJ DE86 razor with Gillette Silver Blue ,T.F.S Stupefacente Shaving Soap,Muhle HJM 21 synthetic brush,OSMA alum block, Lucky Tiger Face tonic, a splash of Snake Bite and finally Floris London Elite balm... Amazing...

[@MadAzn53]

Thank you Mrs. H for the great floral arrangement. Oh yeah, great shave Paul

[@brookbrailey3666]

Semouge 830 . Just ordered one now and it will be my first bore brush . Many thanks for making me aware of it Paul 👍.

[@purpleglitteruk]

Great shave again Paul 💈 Gavin has Erasmic soap & cream but not the stick so interesting to see that. Seemed to work ok for you. Beautiful flowers Mrs H again 💐 Have a great rest of the week both 💈💐💈

[@danielsbackforty8094]

Great shave today with the SOTD. Global Shave Club ICE 🧊 (Compared to the GSC RAIN 🌧) 💈FINE American Blend Shave Soap. Mr. Sheldon said that the ICE should be same aggression as the RAIN but a little smoother. I did not find that it was any smoother. Maybe a smidgen ruffer, but that could have been the new blade. ** So far i am very happy with the purchase!! I like the weight of handle. Not much different in feel of size from the RAIN. *** RECOMMEND BOTH!!!!

[@terrym1065]

Nice shave Paul💈💈 Nothing to detract from those spectacular flowers presented by Mrs H👍 The soap may work ok but sure looked pale by most standards🤔 I suspect way more soap needs used than usual, you're spot on there😎 This razor seems to be milder than expected, of course it was made for Feather blades too😉 SOTD: PAA Banana Cube, Tallow & Steel "Boreal" soap/splash, WCS synth Infinity brush, Rockwell 6S w/Gillette Swede blade, alum, Thayers and AV 5 in 1 balm...Super👌 Great video again. Stay safe. Enjoy!

[@pkj77]

Week so far alright i had a Erasmic stick i grinned it with a cheese grader it pulverized i saw that video you made very nice...great shave ....we need that smellavision i had to try that after shave i found it on E-bay from polandstay safe...cheers...Peter

[@nikosloumos3021]

Thanks Mrs H wonderful flowers. Interesting shave using low budget things.Many Thanks Paul.

[@OG_Jack]

Beautiful flowers, as usual, from Mrs H!

[@km-yx8vl]

SOTD: vintage german 1933s' Apollo razor, Treet Platinum blade (3rd use), Williams mug shaving soap, Wilkinson badger brush and Williams Aqua Velva aftershave. I had a very good shave using the infamous Williams mug shaving soap, but I did a little trick Paul thought us in one of the last videos: I've used a food grater to shred the soap into fine pieces and then let them soak in hot water for about 15 minutes. That way it created a beautiful lather,that lastet long and gave a good slickness and protection... You maybe need a little bit more soap than normaly and make sure the water is hot,then it should work...!

[@telekon809]

Thank you Paul , Good old Dwr Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 it’s good stuff , cheers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏻🌈🪒💈

[@JulesB-zv9dp]

Great video 👍 thanks for uploading Paul.

[@nydieselinfl]

Good shave Paul! My shave will probably be my Karve Christopher Bradley Aluminum with the D plate and a Gillette Nacet, some Ariana and Evans Kaizen Soap and Aftershave, and some Nivea Men's Cooling Lotion to seal it all in. I'll face lather it using my Semogue Owners Club Boar brush, Cherry Wood handle. My meal will be smoked salmon fillets, street corn, Caesar salad, and O'Brien Potatoes. Have a wonderful day and stay safe!!!!

[@johnny_3514]

I used my Semogue 830 last night for the first time in a couple of years... had the same results with the lather using a Palmolive stick. I was reminded of why I almost never use that brush. It’s floppy and doesn’t hold/breaks down lather.

[@seanarter1092]

Thanks Paul nice shave and as always beautiful flowers Mrs H :)

[@stewartsimington6240]

SOTD Merkur 34G, Gillette Silver Blue (4),Fine American Blend shave cream, followed by Fine American Blend after shave.

[@santaclaus179]

I can understand that you are talking about the grave of your father , it is sad that when I go again to visit the grave of my twin brother in belgium I have to hear that the grave does not exist anymore ,unbelievable , thanks God the grave of my parents is still there , since they died not long ago , here in Mexico people have family chapels , such as the family of my wife, and these are for ever , so they will never destroy the chapels , also since chapels has many places under the ground of the chapel to put the death people ( normally at least 20 , my family has 128,) the good thing is that this will be sufficient for many generations , so my grand grand children will keep the chapel in good shape , greetings from Mexico .

[@Y-2-K]

Just shaved with a 1972 (birth year) Gillette tech that I recently bought on eBay for €11.30. Excellent razor and beautiful shave. I wouldn’t have got a pack of cartridges for that money. Great hobby and a great video Paul 👍 See You Sunday

[@leventdepevent]

SOTD Muhle R89 razor, feather blade, Mondial baylis brush and a mixture of two TOBS scents rose and lavender. Don't really like the individual scent of both but mixed together it smells really nice. Thanks again for sharing have a nice day.

[@CBShaves]

Nice shave Paul..Thankyou for the flowers Mrs H. I have used the Erasmic cream but found there to be no slickness at all, yes I could add stuff or use something like the cube but we shouldn't have to. I've had the same razor for a while now but have not used it yet. Enjoy the rest of the week my friend:-)

[@conversationalshaving9805]

Good job getting that stick to lather. I may simply not have the patience for it, as so many other soaps are no brainers to lather for me. Great floral arrangement too, as is usual. Take care, and all the best to you, the missus, and your cat! 🐈

[@MattWatsonAus]

Hi Paul. Another great vid. I've only just discovered your channel in the last week. I've been 'binge watching', as they say! Thanks for all the time you've put into these. Some very handy info and tips. Best wishes from Australia.

[@davidanderson3425]

Thanks, Paul. I enjoy watching budget shaves and I'm quite happy being a tight old miser when it comes to buying shaving products! I haven't tried Erasmic soap before, so I'll have to add that to my shopping list.

[@Melkbone]

In my area we have super bad hard water it makes it difficult to make a good lather. Switched to distilled water and now the lathers are very good.

[@yigidofstudio3844]

I like Semogue brushes, but these bristles sometimes destroy the foam. Feather Popular was my first traditional shaver and I had my first shave with Bic razor with it. Have a nice day!

[@odysseusjak]

SOTD: Razor: Gillette Adjustable Super-84 (P2 -- 1970) Blade: Gillette Nacet (x3) Brush: PAA Peregrino Soap: PAA Scentsless (CK-6) Aftershave: PAA WOW Signal (sample) Balm: PAA Mysterium Serum (Yes, I use mostly PAA products. I'm loyal in that when I find something that works well for me, I stick with it.) Have a good week!

[@PerroneFord]

No brush I own gives me as poor a lather as my 830. I went to synthetics exclusively after buying it. I did try it this morning after watching this video. Used a TON of soap (PAA Cube Rabid Banana) and got three passes without having to go back to the puck, but the last pass lather certainly wasn't great. If I had used that much soap on any of my synthetics it would have been overwhelming.

[@andrewhawkins6454]

Great shave as usual Paul. SOTD is a Muhle R41. Gillette/ Wilkinson blade. Tabac soap. Yaqi brush. Nivea 2 phase. Stay safe.

[@santaclaus179]

thanks for mentioning the name of the composers of each music beginning of your great videos, also flowers are as always wonderful

[@nawafalrashidi4774]

Wonderful, nice ihave this razor very excellent, thanks very much

[@rsolsjo]

Just tried my first shave stick yesterday, the Mühle Sea Buckthorn. Beautiful fresh scent, but it worked exactly like yours, meaning you'd probably need a lot of soap on the face to get a thick lather. Also got in two new razors, Merkur 30C (small but works great) and the 37C Slant which can't wait to try. The new brush is a Mühle Rytmo Synthetic, Resin Black. I also have my eyes on the Mühle R103 (open comb) and a shavette. That way I'll have one of each: closed comb, open comb, slant and shavette. 😀

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great shave Paul! ;) My #SOTD was a Miyake 55 15/16" Best Silver Steel Japanese made Straight Razor using Proraso White Shaving Soap. Please tell Mrs. H she has done a fine job with the beautiful flowers! Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! #Heart

Great shave , seems like a light razor , would be good for travel

[@johnwestwater4418]

How does she do it, every video wonderful flowers. Thank you Mrs H. Finally got my Paul H Films brush....just a pity about my beard lol!!

[@magnoliamike]

I picked up my shavette yesterday . Figured I haven’t used it in forever... I only did about 10-15 full face Shaves with it but have only been using it when I have a beard. To shape up my cheeks & neck. It gives crispy lines. I also use it every now and then for my pick-ups to get extra close.... So when it comes to using it... I’m fine on the neck and cheeks...but going against the grain on the chin area and mustache area it’s difficult for me most of the time. And I like to get a BBS or near BBS everytime I Shave and I think that’s a bad idea to do with one of those suckers lol. I’ll keep at it maby you never know. But I do enjoy using it every now and then like I said when I have a beard or with my pick ups.. I got a cut near the corner of my mouth... I WAS MAD AS HELL. Because I was just saying to myself “jeeze, I haven’t even got a weeper in months “ 😅 lol makes me love DE’s that much more!!!! -Rant over ~Mike 🌹 ~

[@TallysVids]

SOTD for me tomorrow will be: Gillette Heritage. Gillette Silver Blue (first use). Sterling Soap Lime. Yaqi Mysterious Space brush. Post shave will be the left over lather rubbed onto my face and left on while I clean my gear.

[@hoonshaver3047]

Hello. Always good to see your performance of shaving. I think the video itself shows exactly the quality of soap, razor, brush etc. I love my Semogue1305 boar brush though handle cracked in breaking-in process in one night refrigerator. My recent purchased MWF refill soap performance is like this poor. While I shave my left face, my right side lathers fade away leaving translucent face skin. And following result is razor burn, skin redness. What's your opinion of recent MWF?

[@vlad-florianbatrinut5528]

The shave of the day for me will be a anniversary one but not with a DE razor. Today is one year I think since buying myself a Gillette Fusion Proglide and I want to remember how it feels to shave with a cartridge razor after switching to DE razors for almost 7 months.

[@andrewhill1965]

Interesting vid Paul. I've not seen shave sticks in my area before. Still enjoyable to see. Its 3am here in my part of the U.S., and I'm going to work. Have a good safe day 👍

[@lesliefitzer2846]

Hi Paul I bought an Erasmic when I spotted it in Savers mainly as I remembered my farther using it when I was young and it made me curious. It worked but not keen on the scent. Keep well keep safe to you both.

[@steelyowen]

Hi Paul, I had the same brush which has now been made redundant because of constant loss of hair, I have a Yacqi now much better. I found the Semogue too short and too soft. The third by the same company, but never again, they all did the same. Thanks for your great video.

[@WolfRanger2008]

I've just noticed that a lot of your mannerisms, facial expression and the way you carry your upper body remind a lot of the actor John Nettles! I didn't know he existed until a couple of months ago when I started streaming "Midsomer Murders" for the first time.. :D

[@goldensteeltv8546]

Great shave. The next blade to try in my SOTD tomorrow is the Voskhod blade. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype. The Gillette Platinums worked awesome for me while the Silver Blues did alright, but my face felt tight afterwards

[@ohmortimer]

I've tried the Erasmic cream and I really like how it lathered and the aroma. Because of this I tried the puck soap and had a stinging sensation that accelerated between passes and decided then and there to stay away from this brand.

[@patrickleonard5129]

Hi paul. Todays shave is the merkur futur copy from manly stuff. Mule sea buckthorn soap gathered from the porcelein bowl,i find not the best soap. All finished with truefit and hill post shave and cuba gold edt. What about that. Have a lovely day

I had problems lathering the Erasmic and the stick actually crumbled too.

[@xvulture21gtav24]

Boar brushes tend to eat the lather inbetween the passes

[@razormichl2004]

[@petrub27]

Feather popular needs to be use with feather blade. It’s the law

[@RichardE62]

Looks like a pretty good shave stick. I'd thought about getting a popular razor. Is it worth $20. It'd just be an addition to the collection. I like mild razors.

[@RichardE62]

Just thinking out loud but I'll bet a synthetic brush would do better with that soap.

[@UniversalExports]

Thanks Paul. I am lucky to have the feather ASD2 and as a daily shaver it is superb. I very rarely deviate to another in my collection now and when i do, i am left disappointed! I have tried the erasmic cream but left disappointed. I took the plunge with some Bulldog shave cream but it will not lather....☹️

[@SolidShaves]

Nice shave Paul, the lather was rather weak on the last pass. 😆. Nice towel, i heard the Erasmic stick is no longer made. The popular is a good mild razor, i gave mine away. Have a nice day.

[@abbas1872]

SOTD for me Yaqi Blue open comb plus polsilver iridium blade and Tabac shave soap.

[@jamesgentry6864]

Will not touch the Erasmic stick, it doesn't maintain the lather. The Puck (bowl) and cream are absolutely A1 excellent, especially for their price.

[@patkaczmarek7362]

Don't think I will be purchasing that shave soap anytime soon. That lather dissipated. Good shave nonetheless.
