Gillette super speed - 5 blade eval (re-upload!)

[@melteds3008]

Very satisfying and enjoyable shave to watch, as you start your journey into wet shaving. Looking forward to your next video. Enjoy.

Excellent second shave post. After 10+ years of wet shaving I still get super excited and try to use everything at once too! I enjoy learning German words while you shave, so I hope you keep that up. Cheers

[@Shaverboy516]

You got a great deal on the super speed, looks brand new!

[@Heiko-shaves]

I just bought another vintage Gillette. A 1965 slim adjustable. That one clearly looks used but will clean up i am sure.

[@Shaverboy516]

@@Heiko-shaves You will love the Slim, having the adjustability is so good.

[@Heiko-shaves]

@@Shaverboy516 looking forward to getting it. It definitely needs some clean up.

Well done Heiko ! Thank you very much for showing you learning curve. I always use a bit more shaving cream so the blade glides a bit better and you won't get a much cuts and burns. Just keep up the good work and try some soap from Stirling, I've always loved the soaps and they aren't that expensive to buy and try.

[@Heiko-shaves]

Thanks for your comment. I will put Stirling on my list.

An adjustable razor is also a good idea to allow you to choose aggressiveness. The Rockwell 6C is a very good razor at a good price.

[@Heiko-shaves]

I have been eyeballing the 6C. I will add it to my list of things to try. Thanks.

you should also try Israeli personna reds for the neck issue it might help ;)

I found a Super Speed Flare Tip today, but had substantial green oxidation (perhaps loss of nickel down to brass). They weren’t willing to negotiate, so I told them I’d have to think about it and come back. It was in decent shape otherwise.

Bic CP blades work great in my '57 regular and '63 slim adjustable

[@Heiko-shaves]

I might have some BIC, better try those out.

[@johnmaguire7823]

Really enjoyed your videos Heiko, excited to see you progress and upload more. Also looking forward to hearing your German words 👍

[@Heiko-shaves]

Thanks for the encouragement. I will keep them coming. I have a lot my stuff to try out. Don't tell my wife how much shaving gear i have ordered. 😉

[@metalsoso5460]

It would be interesting to know how you would rank the blades.

[@Heiko-shaves]

That is a tough one. I have noticed that the sharpness and efficiency is highly subjective and to be honest I have not really taken notes during shaving to keep track of my finding. Who knows, maybe in the future I can come up with something.

[@MisterRz]

TABAC's puc is the best puc I believe on the whole entire market which ironically enough is a german brand ;) so you better give TABAC puc a try

[@Heiko-shaves]

I will. I love that scent. My dad, who passed away long time ago, used the tabac aftershave.

[@donkee011]

Please don't over complicate the shaves in the beginning of your hobby. There is a nice group on one of the forums that is promoting a 30 days beginner system. One razor, one type of blade, one soap/cream, one brush. Just to get to learn the technique. After that, you can be experienced enough to recognise the subtle differences and adjust your technique accordingly.

[@Heiko-shaves]

I will heed you advice. Thanks

If you ever want a German made safety razor , check out Timor . Wide selection of premium safety razors and they even make their own blades that are pretty good

[@Heiko-shaves]

Oh, I definitely want a German razor. I have been looking at Mühle, Merkur and some others. I will check out your recommendation. Thanks
