I've learn so much from this channel. Just an example. When I apply all the tips i know from here and go to work aka many different clothing tips. Getting my shoe polished etc etc I always get noticed by just walking around. I am probably the rare 24 yo using these techniques around me. Even my dad does no know how to polish his shoes and how to choose a fitting Shirt / jacket.

I can shave myself at least 5 times during this video! I would say it is way too long compared to what the subject is.

I learned to shave with my dad's safety razor over fifty years ago. I eave used a straightedge razor when I was participating in Civil War re-enacting. I find that a good shave takes time and experience and most of what you have shown is the correct way of handling any razor.

[@fille00100]

I’m 20 and have been using a double-edge for two years now. I really like the vintage feel which goes with the old school lifestyle, the cheap price of the blades and functionality of the razor. Next step is a straight razor ;)

I find the straight razor easier but more time consuming

[@louiethepitt]

[@Shadow_Hawk_Streaming]

@@louiethepitt I got Derby premiums on a recommendation but been since told they're terrible, buy a sampler pack to try of different blades and ideally a razor with adjustable angle heads is your best bet for a good shave

[@billhill3526]

I'm 58 and have a heavy beard, the double edge is the only thing I use. Iv'e tried the cartridge junk and it plugged up in one pass. Iv'e tried the electric and I had to go over my face many times and missed spots everywhere. My dad gave me his old double edge when I was in my teens (it's probably as old as I am) And I still use it. My younger brother who is more haired than me wants one too. I still hate shaving, but a beard is much more irritating.

A found a small niche Oldschool Turkish barber shop in the city i live in. I decided I wanted to try shaving old-school as my grandpa did, so decided to get a haircut and a shave. Man, that straight razor shave from a pro is unlike anything. Now I do it around 4 times a year and on special occasions. He eventually convinced me in getting a DE-shave and even gave me a discount price since I've been a regular customer. I have not regretted it since. He even learned me a technique on keeping the blades sharp if you don't have a buffing belt, by using the skin of your arm. I have been shaving with DE razor for 3 years, And I have still not gone through my first package of blades! Then again my facial hair grows quite slowly. But it has indeed saved me quite a lot of expenses! + you feel much more like a gentleman. Since I have been mostly self-learned, this video still taught me a thing or two about shaving which is great!

Great video, as usual. My first razor was a Gillette Slimboy adjustable. Left it at home when leaving for college. Retrieved it 34 years later and now using it again off-and-on for the past 14 years. Post shave I use a splash of witch hazel, it's light, refreshing, and doesn't fill the pores.

[@RS-B5ZV]

Great video. I have been using DE razors for over 10 years now. Another tip, especially if you live in a hard water area, is to ensure you keep the razor clean by every so often placing the razor parts in boiled water and one part white vinegar in a bowl for at least 1 hour, then using toothpaste and toothbrush give it a good scrub and let it dry. It will leave the razor polished and gleaming and will last years.

[@oscarmoreno65]

Water cannot be hard unless it is ice. So hard water areas are cold areas? The only way water can be hard is if it gets frozen. Just warm it up and you will have liquid water again!

Just used a safety razor for the first time. What an experience! Holding the steel razor feels much better than handling the plastic razors. And then the result is very satisfying, no cuts, no swollen skin. Very recommended!

[@ryptoll4801]

I started using a safety razor for my face some 5-6 years ago. Back then it took me almost an hour as I went through some 6+ passes going in all sorts of directions and wouldn't stop until it was perfectly smooth. But that technique irritated my skin a lot, because I have very thick, coarse hairs plus very sensitive skin. These days I typically only do one pass (across the grain) and it only takes me 5 minutes. I don't feel I need to go with the grain first if the last time I shaved was the day before. And I can't go against the grain at all without causing some serious issues. It honestly took me a long time to learn how to use a safety razor, but now that I know pretty well how to use it confidently I'm much less likely to cause nicks and razor burns than I used to with cartridge razor. I'm also loving how cheap safety razor blades are and that they come in big packs. I didn't know about the angled technique though and I think I wanna try that. At this point I'm definitely confident enough with my safety razor that I can elaborate on my technique.

Solid advice. In regards to the straight razor I actually shaved with one every Saturday morning for over a year and a DE blade during the week. Now several years later I only use the straight razor. In regards to the time it takes, I look at the shave as a ritual. Takes me about 20 minutes to do a great two pass shave. If I don’t make time for a two pass shave, A one shave pass takes just over ten minutes. I have used several brands of electric razors in the past and none of them provided a comfortable shave, however I never had one that you could use wet. I have a very coarse beard, and have found that straight razors provide the most comfortable shave, but they do not shave any closer than cartridge or DE razor.

[@pappap3788]

Prior to using a safety razor for your long term use of shaving, it is both wise and prudent to try the various brands of open razor blades. By trying out the various brands you will find a suitable solution for your type of skin and facial hair growth. Three stages of shaving: One. The pre shave; that is the preparation prior to shaving. Two. The shave. Three. The post shave; that is the aftercare of the shave. The hot towel, hot water is to excite the hair into standing out from the face thus making the hair ready to cut. The brush is used in a circular pattern and just like the hot towel or water, the brush movement helps to mix the soap and lather into the hair, the follicle and onto the skin layers. Three cuts or passes in the the three main directions, no more and no less (a fourth pass may be required if a heavy growth or thicker stubble is seen). Danger areas; lips, under the nose and the Adams apple. Some men require to shave twice per day. If that is the case, shave in morning and at night. UK Army method.

[@karlraffelsieper1232]

Great tutorial. I respectfully suggest, staying away from can shaving foams. Real shaving soaps create a better treatment to protect your skin not to mention the lather. I have a few DE razors to avoid buying an electric. I would suggest an open comb like my Muller Traditional, with the right blades, it mows down even the most difficult growth on the first pass. I then switch to my Merkur 33c to do the finishing passes, the results is equal to any of my straight razors. Rinse with cold water as mentioned and I also use an Alum block. Your pores and skin will thank you, especally if you have sensitive skin or acne. Then a balm. I have some pre shave oils and cream, and they are good, but nothing better than a warm shower can achieve. Really enjoying your content.

So after your video about DE razors, and then this one i bought my first DE safety razor set with a bowl, shavesoap, and brush with badger hair.

After getting my technique down, i hade never in my life hade a close a shave as with a DE razer, and my face stays clean for up to 3 days. Also the process now of shaving because of the tools involved, the pre shave balm, lathering up your face, shaving, aftershave, has become a peacefull ritual for myself in the morning, i look forward now to shaving.

My facial hair growth always required me to shave every morning and noon in order to maintain the clean-shaven appearance. Electric razors have never worked. Disposable razors always had to be replaced with a brand new cartridge before starting each shave. For the last decade, I've resolved to using electric clippers, as well as the permanent 5 o'clock shadow that comes with using clippers instead of a shaver. This video has me interested in trying a double-edge razor.

As a novice DE safety razor user, I am getting a better shave, but it took me 3 shaves to no longer cut myself. I still had a few nicks, but nothing that was bleeding as profusely as during my first 2 attempts. To stop bleeding immediately I cannot over recommend having a styptic pencil handy to address and cuts. I also, and perhaps this is a defect in myself, but after shaving with disposable razors my whole life I grew accustomed to applying a lot of pressure and quickly shaving. With a DE safety razor, the slower I shave, the fewer cuts I have. Lastly, I found that frequently changing to a fresh blade was helpful.

[@SharpsBox]

If you are just starting out, I recommend a Leaf Twig with Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades snapped in half. If you don’t want to snap them in half use Derby Usta half blades. Then you can try others once you get the hang of it. Bic Chrome Platimums are also very nice, extremely sharp and smooth.

Tried this for the first time a few years ago. I bled like a stuffed pig for quite a long time the first time. Now, through learning and doing it more, I do quite well with a safety razor. It offers the cleanest shave possible. However, one pass on the shave won't do it fully. You have to do two or three. If you are short on time, use an everyday razor. If not, then use a safety razor. Trust me, you'll love it once you get the technique down.

It really is this simple. Once you get used to it, it becomes routine. Also, you get to invest in a beautiful safety razor handle that just gives the whole procedure a feeling of quality. I'll never ever go back from shaving with safety razors and proper shaving soap.

My fav part is his shower, electric shave and top off with razor blade...practicality is refreshing 🙈
