[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

Nice gifts from generous viewers.

[@SinatraLennon]

Absolutely!

[@luke_r1782]

I'm british and that accent is better than some Hollywood actors

[@SinatraLennon]

Ha! Cheers (as they say in the UK)

[@johncampos633]

Today's Shave was so cool Senior Sinatralenn , it was wonderful that Martin the Winner of the Phatboy sent you Sweet Shaving Products from the United kingdom. Wonderful music in the back ground too, have a good week. Can't wait to see more videos

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks John!

[@anthonybrooks5932]

Your British accent was decent, that’s not why I Subscribed but it helped , just kidding your vids are top end for shaving probably, my favourite.

[@tonyjax8454]

Your punctuation is better than most British! Quite Regal! 😆👍 I like that brand Hawkins and Brimble their products are available in Waitrose which is a big posh supermarket here in the UK.

[@SinatraLennon]

I’ve shopped at a Waitrose in London! It was very nice. I had a Scotch egg if I’m not mistaken.

[@MidwayShooter]

Great shave 💈 and very generous of Martin to send all that shave gear. I look forward to some reviews

[@SinatraLennon]

He’s a good guy, huh?

[@MidwayShooter]

SinatraLennon appears to be right

[@TheStressD]

That was actually a really good, well spoken British accent lol. Great video mate keep up the good work!

[@TrustNoOne88]

He sent you some great stuff holy crap! Nice care package 👍🏻 that dude is awesome 👏! Those polmoilive shave sticks are like gold nowadays since they stopped making them. I had to buy two from Germany and it wasn’t cheap, I couldn’t find any in the states. Cheerio! 😂

[@SinatraLennon]

I had no idea that the Palmolive sticks were in short supply. I’ll be sure to appreciate it more when I use the thing for the first time.

[@Kickflip1993]

The best British accent is from Michael Scott from the office though. There is an outtake with him and Ricky Gervais where he says: Sorry Mate. I forgot make me snotted cream. Ricky Gervais reaction to this is so hilarious :)

[@gabrielstonebeckershaves3524]

Hello 👋 Matt very nice 👍 on yesterday shaves 😎brother my friend 😃😊👍

Well Sinatra that was the best impression of Dick Van Dyke doing an English accent I’ve heard in a longtime 😂

Ha!

Thanks for featuring us in the review!

[@barrydore7623]

I use Hawkins and Brimble hair Pomade great stuff great vid once again.

Great review and shave just watched the end now In office today so up early and home late

Sitting at the pool, near the beach in the back in Bali, Indonesia. And watching mr SinatraLennon shave himself. 😂 Ha ha. Nice shave SL

[@SinatraLennon]

Now, that's the way to live!

FANTASTIC SHAVE and fun to watch as I am from the UK Too.....!!!

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks, and cheers!

Hope you and your family have a blast on vacation.

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks Shawn!

[@danielhughes5894]

Wow!!! You sir are in for a treat, Taylors is absolutely my #1 favorite shaving cream. All their creams smell amazing, like you can eat em out of the tub. You are really going to enjoy that Almond🍒🥃Great vid man💈

[@SinatraLennon]

I do want to eat it! It smells so good.

[@petekadenz9465]

I’ve seen H&B in supermarkets here in England, but have never used it (perhaps because its invariably located next to Harry’s shaving products). I’ll give it a try after having viewed your great video. I agree with you that ‘Hawkins & Brimble’ sounds very British.

[@nicetna2010]

Taylor of Old Bond St and the Palmolive stick are some of the best shave soaps out there. (Way to go Martin!). Looking forward to your videos with those.

[@jesserlund1339]

Looking forward to the Wilkerson Sword shaving soap review.

[@4ksandknives]

Super mild, but beginner friendly, especially young boys

[@tomas407]

A week ago I bought H&B shaving cream and balm, and it smelled so good to me that I ordered everything they produce. Soap, brush, face wash, beard shampoo etc... Btw, Elemi is also used to treat acne, itching, and its resin was used in Egypt for embalming mummies. That's probably why it smells so Classic ;)

[@christiansalazar4604]

TOBS almond is my favorite almond shave cream. Stirling makes an amazing almond soap too.

[@SinatraLennon]

It smells so good!!

[@SirTibzy]

Haha fooled me with that British accent! Spot on!

[@noorhasan6663]

Nice video sinatra... nice collection of products..

[@nihilisticexistentialist6007]

Nice shave. Received my first synthetic today, a Yaqi Timber Wolf. Really like it and I see myself using it more than my natural bristle brushes. Cheers.

[@SinatraLennon]

I love my synthetics!

[@ManBehindtheCameraOriginal]

Hawkins and Brimble is a very nice shaving cream and it smells amazing. And also Taylor's of old bond street is my favourite to the sandlewood. I love the muhle razor it's just amazing for a close shave. :)

[@BillHosler]

Thanks for the shout out!!! According to Paul H.'s videos that Palmolive shaving stick has been discontinued so hang on to it!

[@SinatraLennon]

Sure thing! Discontinued? Wonder why.

[@grizzer85]

Contrary to polsilver blades situation, Palmolive stick has not been discontinued throughout Europe , it's easy obtainable. Rumors got many people to stock on lifetime supply, it's cheap enough

[@BillHosler]

Przemysław Damski Good to hear!

[@LPcasper]

@@grizzer85 Polsilver blades will be discontinued? That's new to me and if it's true I'll made a stock of them. It's one of my favorite blades so far.

[@boomster64]

I'm glad you liked the ole Hawkins and Brimble old chap, it was the most English sounding product I could find hahah. Cant wait for the R41 shave...remember no strong coffee before hand, ensure the first aid kit is topped up and maybe leave a note with your blood type near by... you know.... just in case!

[@SinatraLennon]

I’ll have the ambulance on standby! Thanks again and toodle-pip!

[@cito4633]

Funny that you mentioned the R41... A couple of weeks ago, I bought the cap and baseplate and use it with my 6s handle - Definitely more aggressive than the 6s but I guarantee that you will have no problems with it. You will be amazed at how great of a shave it produces!

[@SinatraLennon]

I can’t wait!

[@ilaritakamaki3260]

Looking forward to your video with the Muhle. R41 was my first DE razor and I still haven't shaved with that many others but I do think it's superb.

[@SinatraLennon]

Can’t wait to try it out.

[@TomaisMac]

I use H&B Shave Cream and Aftershave, love their quality and scent. They're about 15 bucks each, but great quality

[@LPcasper]

Hawkins & Brimble not so popular in UK but I can find it in the supermarkets shelves here in Portugal, strange but it's true. Palmindaya shaving cream isn't Portuguese, it's made in Brazil and has you know they speak Portuguese but in a different way than us (different terms and accent), it's a mentholated cream and if it stays a little more longer in the face, can cause a certain burning and redness in your skin. About the Mühle R41, I'm just waiting that my wet shaving supplier have it back in stock to order mine too. Careful if you will gonna use it with a Feather. Really nice stuff Martin have sent to you. Well done, community wet shaving are the best. Great video as always. Cheers.

[@SinatraLennon]

Of course, Brazilian shaving cream! Can't wait to try it out. Might have to add some more menthol to it! Thanks again for traveling all this way with it. I appreciate it!

[@Chickenmusk]

In your last few videos you have used 2 of my favourite soaps/creams. Body Shop Macca Root, and Hawkins and Brimble. I also like the Italian 'Extro' soap, I have a lavender one. Very light scented croap. Leathers amazingly.

[@antoniorieger8461]

YESS the R41 Era is here!

[@SinatraLennon]

Let’s see how this pans out.

[@michaskiba7784]

Bloody era 😀

[@starlodear2987]

The R41 may be aggressive, but imho it only works well with a Feather blade. Any other blade and it leaves stubble on my face. The Merkur Futur though works with any blade, is heavier (130 g) and gives me an efffortless shave. Yes, it's even more aggressive than the R41 yet milder if that makes sense

[@Maccano]

Actually an excellent British accent, honestly impressed! Albeit a bit posh, but that's all part of the fun stereotype :D

[@SinatraLennon]

Right! Very posh. Too posh?!

[@Maccano]

@@SinatraLennon I have to say, I'm UK based, and this video sold me on a product I've overlooked for so long - too long, apparently! Off I go tomorrow to get some shaving cream!

[@niallwood]

Think im going to have to save up and buy both mugs and the t shirt!

[@jeffreylovely4346]

You made out like a bandit. Loved the accents lol

[@SinatraLennon]

I did, didn’t I?

[@jeffreylovely4346]

Ya that’s Excellent brother. Used to shave my head I’m letting my hair grow out right now though. Lol cut myself pretty damn good n I can’t shave for now.

[@jeffreylovely4346]

Think I’m just gunna keep the hair for a while

[@discus123]

Martin has sent you good stuff, especially the taylor of old bond street. I love it! By the way I should put a milder blade in the R41 for the first time.

[@SinatraLennon]

That’s stuff smells so good. Can’t wait to use it!

[@robstelten2856]

great video again. Are you going to use a Feather blade in that Mühle R41?

[@SinatraLennon]

Oh, heck yeah! (Wish me luck)

[@ajlanger5]

Just bought the brush you were using :). I apparently have been using "trial size" brushes that came with my 'Art of Shaving' kits that I got as gifts a few years back. They are both badger hair brushes, but very small knot and handle. Maybe those can be for traveling! This looks like a great synthetic brush.

[@SinatraLennon]

Great! Let me know how you like it.

[@mostafametwaly6557]

I have the muhle R41, the designer absolutely preferred aggression over comfort, I noticed the blade is not bended too much, so I get a better shave when I tilt the handle a little bit away from my face. Use a sharp blade and use very light pressure. Also make sure of the blade alignment because my razor head does not always align perfectly.

[@SinatraLennon]

Good advice! Thanks.

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

I like the strong, cologney type scents.

[@Alexander0189]

I'm from Manchester, would love to hear you do a mancunian accent 😂 or even just a northern English one instead of southern/London.

[@SinatraLennon]

When I was in my Beatle band I used to do a fake Scouse accent all the time, so I’m probably better at the northern accent then I am the southern one!

[@Alexander0189]

@@SinatraLennon haha really?! Please do a scouse accent in your next video?! That'll be HILARIOUS 😂

[@talega1]

Your fake UK accent is actually good. Martin sent you a LOT of good stuff! that was a win! Wait....you didn't use the manly R41? I want to see that video. Now, will you use a Feather in it....., the Wilki....or ? I tried my 59 Pig, compared to 58 and 60 feels the same.... I only used 5

[@SinatraLennon]

I plan on using a Feather blade with the R41. I know that it’s a risky venture but I feel that I am up for it.

[@talega1]

@@SinatraLennon Cool, lots of people use this mix. I have both and haven't found the testosterone to mix em....more of a Gillette dude..

[@jeffbriggs1987]

I only have 1 de razor and 1 soap and 1 aftershave balm. My balm is hawkins and brimble. It is the best and smells amazing. Also seems like i get no irritation or red bumps the next day. I'm gonna try other razors and creams and stuff but im too broke right now.

[@SinatraLennon]

Stick with the H&B! This stuff is great. My skin still feels good even hours later. No need to buy a bunch of stuff just to have it. Sounds like you found a good combination already.

[@CounterNerd]

I have some news regarding my ebay auction ventures! I have won a razor. And no, it wasn't a Fatboy -- it was a Gillette "Super Speed Safety Razor". It reminds me of the one my father gave me when I first started shaving as a teenager around 8 years ago or so. I might just bid on a Fatboy to own one of those SinatraLennon-approved legends but I was in need of a new razor because I've been getting a lot of cuts lately when shaving and changing the blade doesn't seem to work so I'm suspecting my modern safety razor might be going faulty from age (goes to show how you can't beat the vintage stuff [if my theory is correct]).

[@SinatraLennon]

Hey, congrats! You might just win a FatBoy sometime and join the club. Let me know how your Super Speed shaves!

[@CounterNerd]

@@SinatraLennon I absolutely will give you the word on the Speedyboy! Though seeing how I'm in Sweden it probably won't arrive until the end of this month but when it does arrive you have some insight to other safety razor models to look forward to!

[@Vanadse]

@@CounterNerd It's a pretty good razor the Super Speed. Started off with a flare tip super speed, love it. In my case it worked fine with a Treet Platinum, Gillette 7o Clock Super Platinum, or an old Spoiler blade. I recently grabbed another one just because it was in much better condition than the first.

[@CounterNerd]

@@Vanadse That's a wonderful reply, I appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to it, honestly. The one I got looks to be in very good condition. I think the guy who auctioned it makes a small living out of fixing up old Gillettes.

[@Vanadse]

@@CounterNerd Then it should be all good. So long as the blade is showing even, the rest is just cosmetic. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

[@4ksandknives]

Martin, you gem!

[@mikeisgettinupset]

Did you set up that PO Box I mentioned previously?

[@SinatraLennon]

Not yet.

[@MrTelecaster101]

You can get pretty much all of the Hawkins and Brimble stuff on Amazon. Shaving cream, Balm, Aftershave. Hair pomade and it's pretty reasonably priced.

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks!

[@paulcharlesworth809]

Haha up north we don't sound like that, but a good take on the southerners lol, enjoys the products, and be careful using the r41 don't use one like I did after drinking 5 good measures of Jim beam, nearly ended up in hospital lol, all the best mate from the UK.

[@SinatraLennon]

I could have done a Scouse accent, because I am such a Beatles fan and have listened to them speak for what must be hours. I decided to go with the southern accent, albeit not great.

[@paulcharlesworth809]

@@SinatraLennon you brought up the Beatles, do you plan on watching the Yesterday movie, the trailer looks so good, also you should check out a UK band called Slade, and one of my favourite bands called Sweet, both groups released some great tunes.

Interesting! The Black Country. Okay. I’m on it. (I’m back from watching one KZbin video) Holy Cow! I’ve never heard an accent like that one. I wouldn’t know where to start to mimic that accent. Very cool, though.

If you want a very very good quality shaving cream that is made and produced in the UK then try Taylor of Old Bond Street products or geo f Trumper both which are absolutely fantastic

Hey UK folks. I've noticed House of Fraser are selling Hawkins and Brimble shave cream online for £4.00. 👍 The downside is the £4.99 delivery charge 👎...wonder if it's 4 quid in store?

[@JackMellor498]

Never heard of Hawkins and Brimble over here, doesn’t actually sound like a British brand, how ironic, with a name like Hawkins (a name you don’t hear much over here), sounds like more American. Over here in the supermarkets it’s mostly all Gillette, Nivea, Wilkinson Sword, Baylis and Harding, and Boots has a tie in with Harry’s Razors. BTW Boots is not really a chemist, we call it a pharmacy, but it’s perhaps better defined as health and beauty chain because that’s mostly what they sell nowadays.
