In Depth DE/Safety Razor Tutorial Shave using Proraso Products!!!!!

[@tomanderson848]

I was given a Proraso kit as a gift, I'm 64 and I thought that I knew how to shave. I did not! Thanks brother. Very thorough. What a difference.

I love how brutally honest you are, mate. A proraso tutorial and how you express and forget your troubles through DE Wet Shaving. Hopefully you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. Much love, a new subscriber to your channel.

[@lantholiday]

I was 50 when I decided to try a de safety razor and it was you that ended up teaching me how to use it. Thank You for making these videos. It was also because of you that I found out about Proraso. I'll probably never use anything else, it's a pure joy shaving with that soap. Thanks again.

Cheers mate, im looking at one of these type of razers. the tip you gave was ideal.

[@paulpedron8879]

I now know why I enjoy watching your channel so much. I obviously have the same tastes in shaving as you do. I started out with exactly the same products apart from a rose gold handle on my razor. And your lathering technique has worked well for me even while travelling to towns where the water effects the soaps differently. Thanks for all your efforts in your videos💈💈

[@otter1234]

just getting into wet shaving, and just today discovered your channel. THANK YOU! the way you lather and the way you describe shaving, is exactly what im looking for help on.

Well it’s great to hear that buddy, hopefully it helps you get the enjoyment out of the shave 🪒!

[@otter1234]

@@AnotherCutAbove So I finally got to shave using your tips and following your information and video today. Made one slight modification, I bowl lathered just a bit so I had some for at the end (and more so, to see if I could actually do it). To be perfectly honest, what transpired was life changing for my shaves. I had the single greatest shave I have ever had, and I've been shaving for almost 20 yrs. The lather was so rich and soothing, the razor glided effortlessly access my face and head. Using your tips and things to watch for made the world of difference. Much like you, in Law enforcement and hated shaving, did it because have to keep the professional look, switched to DE and was working on it, but still not understanding what all the hub bub was about. Well, today I got it. I understand. The first time I've been able to actually get BBS for both my face and head. It's true, my wife compared it to my toddlers butt. So Thank you again!

After sampling several different fancy artisan soaps for a few years, I ultimately went back to Proraso as my primary go-to shaving soap. It's a good-quality soap sold at a fair price, and you can conveniently find it at most pharmacies and supermarkets here in Canada. Gimmicky soaps don't give you a better shave; practicing your technique does.

Great story. I'm just after my first shave using this shaver. Wished I've watched it before :D I've started just because of using too much plastics - so environment + disposable shavers were clogging too much. Thanks!

Love this video. I got my prosaro set today. The pre shave cream, soap and post shave balm are so nice. Had a shave with a straight razor earlier and my face is literally as smooth as a baby's arse! I had to stop using the cartridge razors as they were giving me razor burn. I get no irritation with the single blade and the feather safety razor and the shave is so close.

Fingers crossed, dont be disheartened if there is some blood and irritation. You and your skins need to adapt. It took me a long time to be come comfortable and every now and then I still have a rough shave. The main thing is I now look forward to shave rather than loathe the thought of it!

Synthetic knots are very cheap to purchase, AP shave co and Turn N Shave do some of my favourite synthetic knots. But with regards to handles it’s all down the preference and price willing to pay. Turn N Shave is one of the best in the business but there aren’t really any bad artisans in the traditional wet shaving space. Only different styles etc.

[@diamondmafiamedia9100]

Cheers mate, I ordered everything that you had in your video. Hopefully it arrives next week in Adelaide. When you put the brush into the soap container I see it makes a lot of mess. Is that the reason why some people put the soap inside a Ceramic soap mug? Also, I have very sensitive skin so would the pre balm be good to use as a post balm as well? Thanks

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Yeah it can certainly be used as a post shave balm but I find it a little almost greasy for that.

@@AnotherCutAbove because I brought so many accessories that i probably won't use. I got the bundle of blades as well. What blade would you recommend for a beginner? Is sharper better or too many cuts? These are the samples thanks Astra Superior Platinum Derby Extra Derby Premium Feather Hi-Stainless Merkur Super Platinum Parker Premium Platinum Wilkinson Sword

[@AnotherCutAbove]

The blades are the most subjective part of the shave. What works for me may not work for you. Astra is a pretty common and reasonably good blade. If you have very thick and heavy growth maybe go feather.

[@crustyskellington4056]

Loved the video mate! I'm not new to the hobby (well, I'm roughly about a year in) but still enjoyed the various tips. I actually used Soap Commander today (it's the Classic Spice I believe) and found it to be the only soap I've tried so far that took ages to get that translucent look to it that I've had since using your method to face lather. It seemed to drink an absolute ton of water and I still don't think I added enough! Definitely one that requires a major drink, but lathers up lovely anyway.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Yeah man but I find if you get it to the translucent point then you’re never a million miles away. It’s the biggest learning curve creating the lather in my opinion.

[@KR-dn7xd]

Fantastic lather! I think you used a little too much soap!

[@justinpainter4298]

Didn’t know you were a police officer. I’m currently a police officer and have to shave everyday, I hate it. My girlfriend recently bought me a “rapid beard shave kit” one of those cheaper shave kits. I’m a beginner to wet shaving and was wondering what “equipment” you’d recommend for a beginner? Razor, DE blade etc. I currently have the Proraso green shave line and love it.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Proraso is awesome stuff for sure! The 2 razors I recommend for beginners and advanced shavers alike is the Rockwell 6c or 6s and the Karve Christopher Bradley razor! Both offer exceptional smooth shaves. The Karve is my favourite by far though!

I just started shaving this way and I've been using the same proraso products. No matter how wet the soap is or how thick the lather, the soap always dries up before I can finish. It dries up so much it comes off my face in flakes that float around as it falls off my face while shaving. And I still end up cutting myself on my chin and neck. Any idea why?

[@AnotherCutAbove]

I've never really has those sorts of issues with proraso. Do you shave in a bathroom where there is any like drafts blowing through that could dry the lather? I know when I have my ducted air con on it causes all sorts of issues with my lather drying out!

[@AnotherCutAbove]

It may just need some more water too, it can take quite alot proraso. Then again it could also possibly be your water. I know it's a pain but just to rule it out maybe try distilled or filtered water to see if that makes a difference.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

I won't hide behind the fact either that proraso isn't the best soap available. There are many many soaps that are far superior and yield better lathers that stay wetter for longer for sure!

Sorry to not have been much help. At all.

[@ToxikPizza]

@@AnotherCutAbove no air drafts and I keep adding water and relathering and it dries so fast lol. I never thought about the water being the possible cause.
