Hearing “My skin is cleaned out, hydrated, and ready to go” is like watching Mr. Rogers routinely swap his jacket for his indoor cardigan. Welcome back!

[@shawnmand5607]

Had to rub my eyes and pinch myself there to make sure I wasn't seeing things. How the hell have you been?!?!?

[@cariza5]

Yep, he has been sailing and riding with the wind to New York and meeting his friend Arthur.

[@gnomeoshaves4641]

"Cleaned out, hydrated and ready to go!" I missed that lol....Welcome back Dr Nick!!!!

We were just talking about Nick bro!! haha

Great video you made Gnome!

[@bronsont7280]

Welcome home! We missed you, and congratulations on being a father. Your life has forever changed ... for the better 😊

[@NateK94]

Two years ago at my family’s Christmas gathering, we were searching through some of my grandparents belongings. My dad sat down with a box of stuff he had picked out and began going through it. One of the last things he pulled out was a Gillette Slim from the late 60’s, most likely the last razor my grandfather ever owned (he passed away in ‘77). I immediately claimed it (none of my family uses safety razors) and have used it ever since and would have to agree %100 that Gillette’s designs-especially their adjustable models- are top notch and clearly last forever in the right hands. Since I never got to meet my grandpa, I’ll always cherish this razor, as it provides some sort of connection to him that otherwise I wouldn’t ever have.

[@ElementalHeroJoe]

Congratulations on your first child Nick. The wet shaving world isn't the same without you. Regarding the head, Mantic59 contacted Gillette and they confirmed Muhle made the heads. Most likely their R89 heads. The box is cool though

[@alanh8101]

Congrats being father it’s a good feeling Cheers Alan

[@rileyh212]

Man, it’s been so long. I was researching safety razors and straight razors to start with when the last video was released. I love using my razors and got my dad into them.

[@krzynukka08]

Congrats on being a father. Your videos taught me everything and got me started wet shaving. Nice to see you back!!

[@TrentonHeath]

Congratulations, Nick! It’s good to have you back!

[@Captleemo]

I have a 1960 Gillette Fatboy adjustable that was my dads and it is my favorite safety razor. Although I try different blades so far I like the Gillette Wilkerson blades and I use setting 3 for my face. When I was still shaving with a cartridge razor shaving was a chore but since I transitioned back to safety razors shaving is now an enjoyable experience.

[@adamlee3789]

Nick, we all know you're busy... But make sure to stop by, your channel is classic!

[@enriquegarza3127]

He returns!!! Welcome back. I also had my first kid.

I have forgotten how much I loved your videos, I find them to be very calming and very informative. Congrats on all the life changes and success.

[@TheVirtualGroomroom]

What a way to start a new week, we’ve all missed you mate. Congrats on fatherhood!

[@griff4899]

Review more Stirling soaps. They are some of the best out there. You just started getting into them in your old videos.

[@vincentedgeworks]

So cool that you are back! I just got into DE safety razors in the last two months when I realized I had no idea what cartridges I needed to buy. I went home, rummaged through my bathroom cabinets and discovered I had 11 different razor handles from 5 different companies. Your channel has been a huge help in guiding me to my initial purchases, even in your absence from it. I feel fortunate to have found this community right at the moment that both, you have chosen to return, and that Gillette released this heritage razor.

[@domzals1]

Your channel was a reference when I first started wet shaving back in 2013 alongside the launch of your channel. I'm so glad to see you putting out content again. My wife and I just had our first son a month ago and I'm already dreaming of the day I get to introduce him to wet shaving.

[@davidharding5806]

Great to see you back Nick and congratulations on the new addition to the family, looking forward to your fine reviews of all things shaving!

[@chandlerveasey4259]

OMG NICK SHAVES!!!!!!! IM SO GLAD YOUR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on finishing school and growing your family. I know many of us were worried/concerned. WELCOME BACK NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ddbyrd2001]

Echo the others here... great to see you back Nick! Found your channel 3yrs ago and became a wet shaver because of watching you. Converted my brother in law and old boss. We’ve definitely missed you. Glad to hear life is going well for you and the family.

[@guganesan.ilavarasan]

Oh my god, found your channel 8 months back & binge watched it as I was going into wet shaving for the 1st time. Thought this was a dead channel until you show up. I relay enjoyed your content. Congrats & welcome back brother. Love and Respect from India 🇮🇳❤️🙏

[@magnoliamike]

Gugan Esan me 2 I came across to the snow machining thanks to him in a couple other youtubers. Look at me now with a huge collection and a whole bunch of vintage gillettes and fantastic artisan soaps

[@ryansmurda1552]

Welcome back Nick. Been watching you for years. Your like an OG shaver. Lol. Congrats on your first child.

[@marcbagwell6109]

One last entry. Nick... your de blade reviews are still the best blade reviews ever made. Please keep the channel going.

[@rubbertoe6384]

So glad to see you back, just recently got into wet shaving and you’re one of the first guys i found on KZbin and you’re my absolute favorite, keep up the great work nick. Much love from NC

[@seth_kennedy]

Nick, your archive of shaving tutorials have been such a tremendous help along my venture into the world of wet-shaving. It is such a joy to see you back! Thank you so much for all of the time, passion and effort you have selflessly contributed to the community!

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Wow I really thought you were gone!! Congrats on the fellowship and the child!!! This channel will always come second to your real life, but I’m so happy to see you on KZbin again! You were the first person to get me into DE!!!

[@mollerbt]

Id like to see some maintenance videos. Should we disassemble our razer every time after shaving and clean it? How often should we scrub off the soap scum build up? Ideal way of storing everything. Should the blade always be taken out when not being used? That sort of stuff.

[@nevermore311]

HEEEYYY! NICK’S BACK! CLEANED OUT HYDRATED READY TO GO!🤣 Glad to hear that life is going well! You’ve done quite a bit! In the time that you went from Resident to Fellow, I went from X-Ray tech to CT tech, so I feel you on life getting busy. I hope that you’re not steered into moving again, but if you do... University of Rochester has been a fantastic place to grow in the medical field, and the areas around the city are extremely livable.

[@dkgoff]

I have quoted you many times to newcomers and now I get to watch you again! Welcome back!!

[@TBROWN423]

Nick, I'm usually not one to comment on KZbin but I must say it's great to see you back. Your vids were the first ones I watched when I started wet shaving and oddly most of the products that worked well for you, seemed to do the same for me so you also saved me some time and money. Congrats on fatherhood and your career and looking forward to following along again.

[@markanthonysmith413]

Great to see you again Nick, hope all the training and studying is paying off and belated Congrats on the new family arrival, all the best Mark.

Congratulations on both your fellowship and fatherhood! Watching your vids is what got me into wet shaving and I'm glad to see you're not only doing well but doing very well. Hope to see more shaves!

[@WazzuCougrrs]

Congrats on your growing family, Nick. Just made the jump myself from oncology to the Pharma side as an MSL. What a difference in hours, stress, worry. About 3 days a week in my home office now. I recommend it. I bought the Muhle with the Common Bar style handle too. Now my vintage long-comb NEW type is in the nifty Gillette case, a perfect fit. I already had an R89 so this razor is redundant for me. But the handle is great. Welcome back. Hope you have time here and there to post a vid for all the new guys. Your technique instruction is excellent. I don’t care if you ever introduce a new product. I point newbies to your videos so they can pick up some ideas for DE shaving. Everybody does it a little differently but nobody describes the process as thoroughly as you. Cheers, Dad!

[@thierrydegroote3571]

Nick is back. What a great Xmas present for all the wet shavers of the world !

To be irreverent, Manhattan, NYC or Manhattan, Kansas? LOL ! Welcome back, buddy! You were sorely missed! Here's to many more shaving videos made by you! Edit: Re the guest bathroom: I detect a better sound versus your previous videos. I listened to this video with stereo ear buds.

[@1BestEnemy]

Question. How do you maintain your hair? Like what hair products and all. Because they are always so slick and clean looking.

[@jeffsmith67]

Congratulations Dr Nick glad things are going so well for you and it nice to see you back making great videos

[@bigwavebooth]

Welcome Back. Here's what you have to look forward to: I'm now 53 and started wet shaving about 8 years ago. I've gone through many razors and have my all-time favorites, almost exclusively stainless steel CNC and (2) KARVE brass razors, all for longevity and craftsmanship. I have a Gillette Superspeed that was made on my birth year (1966), all in anticipation of teaching my son the art of shaving. Fast Forward...Now he's 19 and in college. He DE shaves and will have access to all of my other stainless steel and brass razors when I'm gone. I have over 6,000 blades of various brands to outlast my lifetime and maybe his 😂. His 4 other friends went off to college with DE razors as senior gifts, too. You'll blink and they'll be all grown up. Cherish the younger years. It only speeds up as they get older and older. Good Luck!

Good to see you back, Nick! This was the first youtube shave channel I found when I ventured into DE shaving early 2019, and then I realized that nothing new was coming... But now you are back on again.

[@koosk41]

Wonderful to see you back. I would say that you were massively responsible for helping me get into D.E shaving with your very helpful posts. Looking forward to seeing more in 2020. Cheers and Happy Christmas 🎄👍

Since your last vid I’ve welcomed two new grandchildren to our family..big diff than having your own, when they cry u can just say here u go take care of your baby, done my time but miss my daughter being young.i ordered one of those as soon as they came available to order and I really like it it’s very close to my de89 but that’s ok ,I love my 89 but I also like my vintage Gillette’s too.. have fun with the baby they grow up fast, have a great week

[@metal_slug7729]

NICK. SHAVES. IS. BACK !!!!!!!! Welcome back and Congratulations.

[@StephenRahrig]

Great watching one of your videos again. I haven’t done a proper wet shave in years. I got super into it for a couple years and I would slice up my face almost every shave so I threw away all my soaps in frustration. I still use the DE (Feather) just not the soaps. I’ve gone back to what I used to do-straight out of the shower, no soap, no cream, nothing at all. Super smooth, cut-free and no aftershave. But this video makes me miss all the soaps and brushes and balms. Good to know you and your family are well 🤙🏼

[@brianlilla6253]

[@Smokey-xg3db]

First off, welcome back! Congratulations on the completion of the residency and birth of your child. I'll be the first one to say that the time really flies. Seems like yesterday my son was born. Now he's 27 with a wife and 4 girls of his own. The razor sounds really good ( being a huge fan of Gillette razors). I have several vintage Gillette razors including the new, black beauty, fat boy, etc... I have to try the cream though. Really hope to see more vids from you!

[@SoundPerformer95]

I bought a Merkur 34c and while it performed well with a Derby blade, I found the ultimate razor while travelling last year! The Yuma performs above and beyond even the best designed razors, in my opinion. I bought this ultra-light razor almost as a joke, as the price was next to nothing and I didn't have any expectations. However, when the blade is lined up evenly and you apply gentle pressure during the shave, it's a game-changer! The closest shave I have experienced with one pass, due to the razor's more agressive nature; but this doesn't cause any irritation even on more sensitive skin. It would be brilliant to see how you get on with this Yuma razor if you can get your hands on one! Great to see you back! Cheers!

[@Sierra-xi2ty]
