Ken, I've been watching your shaving videos since I got into Wet Shaving Aug last year. I've never commented, (to my knowledge, maybe 1 or 2) and have been a subscriber for a while (I'm sure you can verify all stats) I've felt the need to jump into the comments as felt a little let down by the various moans you mentioned in the video during the shave, about being too forward to the camera, not doing this, or should be doing that! It did/does seem to bother you... but I can tell you from me and thousands of others, your videos are top-notch. We love watching you, you're relaxing, and you aren't afraid to get a nice aggressive shave on. You STAY SAFE and keep well my friend. Keep telling us to do so. Love from the UK.

You're not too close to the camera Ken. Your vids always look and sound great! In fact I'm impressed you make such great videos on a phone in a shave den! If that viewer wanted to make a shave video that showed everything he could add a second camera to show what's going on by the sink. But don't do that. It's unnecessary and more complicated. We love your presentation style and that you keep it simple, friendly and clear with lots of variety of hardware & software. It's amazing you are so responsive and read all the comments. Thanks for taking one for the team with these aggressive razors. Please try not to sweat rare critical comments.
