[@Meta-Drew]

Bought a 34C 15 years ago as a teenager, still have the same one today and never wanted another - so glad I got in on the safety razor game early in life.

[@pavelow36]

the way you describe the razors you can sell me anything! :) no sales talk. no promises. no exaggerations. just form and function of each razor. good job sir!

[@loughtonsmith]

My 23C has been in my collection from the beginning. I eventually settled on an Ikon shavecraft 101 head as my daily driver. Great video!

[@shanejan441]

Just wanted to say thankyou for vids Geo. Recently started wet shaving with a safety razor. All of your content is very helpful and I appreciate the upfront approach. Cheers from Australia.

[@jeffalbert3382]

I just got a Rockwell 6S. I have tried a few wet shaving razors prior to the Rockwell 6S. Never really got a good shave from the other razors I had. The Rockwell 6S for me has been the best experience in wet shaving. I highly recommend the Rockwell 6S.

[@TheGorillafoot]

Merkur is always my go to. Was a game changer the first shave I had with one.

[@KingOfAllDragoons]

Parker 96R was my first safety razor, very mild and gives me a nice smooth and clean shave, defenitley will buy more Parker safety razors in the near future

[@thomasressler]

I've had a number of these but the Variant has become my go-to. Highly recommend if you like an adjustable. But as always, your mileage may vary.

[@gbrandonwood]

Just bought from your website after finding this video. Keep up the great content! It works!

[@hepgeoff]

Nice review of these razors. The Merkur 34C was my very first DE razor. My favorite now is the Rockwell 6S.

[@albertcastro409]

Thank You. For the review. You have me thinking to get a new razor 🪒 with your company. I always enjoy your videos. Please ! Keep making these great videos. It’s very helpful

[@notme3686]

I appreciate your no nonsense presentation. I hope you put more comparison vids out. Worth watching if you want to know differences between razors. Started with merkur 34c, have tried multiple others and keep coming back to the 34c. It's simple, it works. Been using the same one since 2012. 7 years later and still find no complaints with it. Ymmv. Nothing more needs to be said.

Merry Christmas and thanks for another great video. I have the Rockwell c6 and the Parker Slant myself. I use the Rockwell as my everyday razor on setting 2. I'm still pretty new to this so that lets me get a good shave with little to no irritation. So far the Parker is a little aggressive for me but I still use it when I have a few days growth.

6 years ago I ordered the Edwin jagger de89 after watching your video of it’s use. Still using it to this day and have enjoyed wet shaving since. Thanks Geo have a great holiday and new year!

[@samb7758]

Good choice, that was a great version, paired with a good soap and badger brush. They’ve recently updated the design of the head slightly and produces a slightly more aggressive shave.

[@geofatboy]

Wow! You def got your money's worth out of that razor. Gleaming Chrome Baby!

[@KillerofGods]

@bigbadb10 Depends, how long does a cartridge last you? Id say most people change their blades once a week or every 3-5 shaves. Some people do it longer but for .10 cents a blade (depending on brand and what your face likes.) Its still dirt cheap.

[@Lemon-rk9hq]

bigbadb10 lol hey if gillete does go out of business I’m definitely switching to a safety razor I might even buy one very soon seems like they will definitely go out of business soon a lot of people seem to dislike them

[@geofatboy]

Hi Steven. Happy Holidays and all the best to you and yours in 2020. I know that your razors did ship out today! Thank you for your support.

[@Captleemo]

Ive got an old 1960 Gillette Fatboy adjustable shaver that used to be my dads. I had used cartridge shavers for years but the replacement cartridges got so expensive that I decided to go back to the old double edge shaver. It had been so long since I had used one that I forgot how easy it is to nick yourself with them. I noticed that it makes a difference in which blades to use and for the ones I have tried the Gillette blades seem to work the best. I haven't tried Astra or Feather blades yet but may do so one day. I set my shaver on 5 and that gives me a close shave with less chance of nicks than on 9 but nicks are much less common now that I have gotten used to it.

[@thejonathandoan]

Great list! Thank you!!

[@najib19nawas]

Fantastic video! Great explanations throughout.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks!

[@AvindraGoolcharan]

Started with the DE89 and landed on the knock off Futur (the QShave). I think I might have a go at the actual Futur. Love the style of the razor, and the versatility. Agree that the only problem is hard to reach under the nose with it, but can it gets easier with a little practice.

[@Baggereeno]

I think you've taken price into account in the making of this video, it's very appreciative really. All the razors you've presented are reasonably priced, a lot more people can take your advice into account and thus get into the wetshaving world much easier. A lot of these top 10 lists have razors like the Rex Ambassador and Karves and the lot which are roughly 200$, while are undeniably nice to use, have a hefty price point and thus lock out a large segment of the wet shaving customer base and discourage beginners.

[@Baggereeno]

Although it would've been nice if you mentioned that the 6S has a cheaper variant which is the 6C, and shaves similarly, but one is stainless steel and the other is Zamak But again, much appreciated

[@dayspoiler4608]

yeh i have it. love it. there is also a 2c which only has one head plate.

[@joemacrone2810]

@@Baggereeno I have the 6C and it shaves so well for $50 I haven't seen the need to upgrade to the 6S. Besides, I have too many other razors to begin with! LOL

Thank you Yazan. You are correct. I tried to keep it limited to popular razors ready to ship at Shave Nation and all within a reasonable price point. Glad you noticed and thanks for commenting. Most newcomers aren't going to jump in with a $250 razor.

[@b525252g]

Love your video reviews. Subscribed due to both your production quality and candor when reviewing products. I started shaving with a DE safety razor about a year ago. Made the switch from cartridges and my face is glad I did. Use the Merkur 23C on a daily basis. I like it. Bought a Parker 98R Super Heavyweight thinking that’s what I wanted next. Was way too heavy and slippery in my hands. Also too aggressive for me to use on a daily basis. Am considering another purchase to step up from my Merkur 23C. Have watched A TON of reviews. Although it’s pricey, will probably pull the trigger on a Rex Supply Co. Ambassador in the next month or two as a Fathers Day or B Day present to myself. What do you recommend to be my next purchase?

[@SandeepSivaramanNair]

I started with double edge razor to save some money on the cartridge razor shave. But the real factor was boring lockdown. So started with a King C Gillette double edge safety razor then I saw your channel and tried a mercur 34c later switched to 37c doesn't feel much changes so tried Muhle r41 Grande and I found it's good for me but I didn't stoped and tried a rockwell 6s it's good quality razor but doesn't glide on the skin. So brought another stainless steel razor Feather D2. Now my plan is to use a straight razor. Appart from razor, I brought so many brushes also. Started with omega boar brush then Kent vs70 brush then a muhle rytmo pure badger petrol blue colour brush. Now I got a Parker silver tip badger with olive wood handle, it's a very good brush. Apparently to save some money on the cartridge replacement I spend a lot of money. If any one new in to wet shaving try feather D2 with Parker olive wood silver tip. Best blade is feather original or one with Japanese inscription. I am a vegan so doesn't explore much with shaving soap other than glycerin soap. The moral is wet shaving is really an addiction.

Hi Samir! Happy New Year to you as well.

[@eminusipi]

I bought a Merkur 34c and I found a lot of play in both the blade exposure on both sides and also non parallel blade seating. This can be corrected if you adjust the blade while tightening it down but it's a pain to do every time I clean and dry the razor after each use. Maybe I just got a bad copy but other people have noticed the same thing. My Edwin Jagger is better but the best spot on that I have is my Rockwell 6C. Perfect, drop in the blade and good to go. I might be too picky but considering the small price difference the Rockwell is the better bargain and it has six levels of aggressiveness too.

I've bought into most cartridge razors over the years, but always returned to DE safety razors along with a traditional shaving brush and bowl with a good quality shaving soap. My preffered razors are: Merkur Futur, Merkur, 37c and Merkur Progress. For a blade I invariably use either a Gillette Nacet or their Pol-Silver. The soap I'm really loving at the moment is Saponificio Varesino~Tundra Artica. Love all your shaving Vlogs.

I am currently shaving with the Oneblade Core and I think it is much better than cartridge blades. Their blades don't come cheap, however, and I am looking into DE razors as my next solution.

I don't dig the short handle design at all. Thanks
