iKon 102 with Derby Blades and Speick Shaving Stick!

[@timminor4219]

Thanks! That was a great instructional video. I recently got a 102, and now I have a reason to break out my beginner's stash of Derbys that have been sitting around for years.

[@moelarry8088]

Had my first shave with a safety razor yesterday. Pretty good for a first time. I've been watching as many of your videos as possible so i can learn, you put out nice content.

[@revshave6248]

Nick, just wanted to say thank you for your video's. You may not realize, but for me, they helped me get into what is now an awesome hobby. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@mark7994]

Really liking the blade review series and the tips in choosing a blade. Choosing a blade was the only confusing part of starting to shave with a safety razor, which I love now. Thanks for the great content.

[@bdubt30]

Thanks for the video! I got a ikon 102 for Christmas from my son and the first time I used it with a polsilver blade and it was a little too aggressive, but when I put a derby blade in it I had a great shave! Keep up the good videos!

[@michellehernandez9308]

Speick is my favorite... Try the aftershave, has great healing properties and a lovely scent, I believe you'll like it

[@Andrewmylife]

It's very subtle. I love it and I think my coworkers appreciate it too

[@dharvell]

I have always heard nothing but bad things about Derby blades. As a fairly new wet shaver, I have been having a terrible time finding the right razor/blade pairing. Everything has been too rough, too sharp, or not sharp enough. Today, for the first time, I tried a Derby... just because. Loved it. So much so, I may have just found my daily shaver.

[@alcohen83]

Speick stick is great...but their aftershave lotion is even better! Highly recommend!

[@pjo1964]

Ahhh, You didnt want that mole anyway, no loss !!! Love the smell of Speick !!!

[@Andrewmylife]

Speick ist sehr gut. Nice and subtle

[@jcarrickzilla]

Good idea on the pairing! - It really is all about finding the right combination ......finally got some Speick on order - look forward to trying - Thanks!

[@hebersmac]

Started with the Gillette Platinum, watched your videos and I purchased the Personna Lab Blue blades. I bought a sampler pack of blades and fell in love with the Feathers. I've seen you shave with them too and I will keep up with your review of the blades to see if there are any more I need to have in my routine. Thanks for the videos they are great!

[@andrewsemedo9458]

Another good video nick. I've tried alot of products based on your reviews here that I wouldn't of known of had I not tuned into your channel. The best thing is I recently found out that I only live 2 cities over from West Coast Shaving! I'm there like every week now lol.

[@Fenrisulvur]

Hey Nick, coincidentally I bought some Speick products in a local store, including the shaving stick, but was wondering about how to actually use it. Now I know, thanks to you! I agree, the scent is very nice and I'm looking forward to shave with it. There is also a shaving cream and an after shave lotion by Speick, maybe you get the chance to pick them up somewhere. Shave on! PS: Your pronounciation of Speick was spot on :)

[@tom9653]

As always........thanks for your great vids. My go-to blade in a wide range of razors is Polsilver. I'd really enjoy hearing your take on them.......T.

[@Nobody-mr3ih]

Great video! I think I'll order the Speick stick soap, it will travel well. Getting ready to try my first wet shave Friday, when all my new shaving gear comes in...

[@yetanothershave]

Speick products are excellent and fairly priced.

[@nightshaver529]

great review - I enjoy using a derby from time to time. My only complaint with them is they're a "one & done" blade but they're very affordable.

[@bimmerdude11]

Maybe you can try the derby blades with the Merkur 37C for a smoother shave.

[@paulodevic]

Nice video, Nick. You should try the Speick ASL (the blue/red one). Nice scent and feels great on the face. Definitely one of the best.

[@imcndn27]

Awesome video Nick. I'd love to see you review the RazoRock RAKE. I'm really interested in a midrange priced open comb modern razor.

[@connorgmehlin2986]

Nice video! I have the speick cream in a tube. It's pretty good. Sorta like the nivea cream in a tube. It dries out a bit on me and lacks a bit in slickness/post shave but decent for the price. I love the fine aftershave american blend. I find that it only lasts for about 2-4 hours though. I have to apply an EDT or EDP afterwards. Do you have any colognes (Not aftershaves)?

[@rbrrhllngswrth]

I like the stick better than the cream....

[@brianb.2894]

Hi Nick. Great video as usual. Curious about Polsilver blades. Thanks.

[@FI9009]

Why don't you go with the grain on the left side of the neck, if hairs grow out? I noticed that creates redness. Great video as always!

[@victoralvarez1413]

great video, are you planning on reviewing gillette blades? Im curious on how good they are since I've heard great things about them specialy the silver blues and the platinums

[@simantov4UUU]

hi nick great video. i love the smell of speick products. about the pronouciation, the speick medical plant grows in the alpine regions in southern germany. there it is pronounced "shpeik". in northern germany they call it "speik". in the east i dont know. so it´s both right and you even said it without any accent.

[@Andrewmylife]

schpike

[@1017dantheman]

Hi Nick, I'm extremely curious to see how Astra blades compare to Personnas.

[@jbarbaresi5118]

I too would be curious about your opinion on the Astra SP blades.

[@Biodoc100]

I think CVS sells blades branded for them. Could you review those?

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Nice video sir! I really covet that iKon, it's a lovely looking razor, must be really smooth too as you accomplished a 200 pass shave on your chin! Lol.

[@Neukem1]

Great video Nick. I think Fine Platinum is suppose to be based off Creed Aventus.

[@brettdills]

Nick, how about a Voskhod or Rapira blade from Russia? I also would like to see a Bolzano if you have one.

[@nicholasrosa2676]

i noticed you always use time lapse when you apply the soap to your face in yr vids. On average how long do you work the soap into your facial hair?

[@CRAM1REZ51]

Pencil stings like a mother, but the blood stops! LOL.

[@lenniebruce]

I never see any 7 o'clock stubble when you shave, ie. you look clean shaved before you shave!

[@ktshaul11]

Do u like the 102 slant better than the stealth slant?

[@ortiz11039]

Do a shave with the dorco st301

[@jojnbarcelos]

good video nick I just got that shave stick from Amazon.com good stuff

[@robertcastroalvarez4076]

I paid 160€ for an Ikon DLC in Spain. After one year of use the head has become useless and the seller (Gifts&Care) doesn't answer my e-mails. Wth.

[@Sky-ec9eu]

Gillette 7 o'clock, and Astra please :)

[@reinouddelporte911]

A review of Astra blades would be nice, and Personna red (made in Israel).

[@fiatlux5042]

Nick, wouldn't you smell like 21 flavours? You put (i) Speick, (ii) Aftershave splash, (iii) Nivea Post-shave balm, (iv) Cologne, and (v) (unless you're using the alum block as deodorant, you will have another scent). What's the outcome in that?

[@Andrewmylife]

I tried this and due to the chemical reaction I ended up at the doctors office

[@andrewburmatoff]

Please use trix blades in your next video

[@johnumek5273]

Pol silver-Merkur blades

[@martyaguilar6299]

seems really time intensive getting your lather up. yikes.

[@WOMPITUS]

You look kind of like a young Howie Long. Just not as jacked.
