The Magnificent 11 - Eleven Double Edge Razors I'd Use 4 Life - Tag Series

[@jonnytesillo1142]

Kevy !! All razors are special and different in their categories, each individual will classify them according to their own experience. An example you have mentioned that the Mühle as aggressive in my case is my daily driver (😂) I explain this world of wet shaving is so relative that makes it interesting. 💯💯💯👍🏻

[@MrDanijelho]

I started with the Wilkinson plastic one, now I shave with the muhle r41 open comb, I don't shave every day but every three or four days.

[@NAGOL4043]

If you want an excellent shave with minimal cost, time and effort try this: Q-Shave adjustable (Merkur clone for $20) razor and Creemo. I tossed out my brush and cup when I discovered Cremo, massaged with fingers, provided superior softening. The Q-Shave razor will not dazzle you with with a jewel-like finish and precision machining but it will provide a first class shave.

[@maurizioc3515]

Fun and interesting. Thks. However, what most surprises me is the expertise you have already acquired in these "first" 5 years. Great going. All the best.

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Kevy- Great tag video; thank you! You have great choices across the board; definitely a lifetime of wonderful shaves. Enjoy the rest of the week. Take good care and best regards, as always!

[@normanchristopherson5434]

Nice video. I am 70 years old and started DE shaving just a few months ago. I purchased a Merkur Progressive and really like it. Having fun trying out various blades and find the Personna blade ideal for me but continue to experiment. Of course, no real DE shaver uses shaving cream from a pressurized can so, am also enjoying trying out various bowl lathered soaps and a fine brush. Began with a puck of William's and now trying out Geo Trumper's Spanish Leather. Have a Taylor's Of Old Bond Street in peppermint waiting for me. What an enjoyable hobby. I savor DE shaving similar to savoring a fine cup of coffee. Your videos are appreciated Kevy, thanks again. A hearty thanks from Norm in the Black Hills Of South Dakota!

[@kevyshaves4109]

Hey Norm. Thanks for sharing your story, sounds great. Spanish Leather from Trumpers is one of my favourite scents in a cream. Cheers. Kevy 👍

[@danilobernaschina1842]

I completely agree with your choice, a Rex envoy as an allrounder, or a gamechanger as a gamechanger😊😊

[@beyproctor7673]

Great list Kevy! It’s an embarrassment of riches. I already feel out of control owning more than two DE razors, so I rely on folks like you to help me narrow down my choices. You have really helped me there. Recently I shaved with the Masamune and found I got a really close shave! It is much easier to use than I thought it would be. Nice razor!

[@ernienanos1957]

Kevy, Great job and great video. Keep up the great work! The best to you, Mrs. Kevy and Riley.

[@matthewkniser8367]

@@kevyshaves4109 Kevy, First of all, thank you for what you do. I really appreciate your enjoyable content and your knowledge regarding all things wet shaving. I am looking for a razor that is a one and done razor. My criteria are a. shaves consistently b. has even blade centering. c. leaves me looking presentable in two passes when I'm short on time and bbs when it matters. d. can hack at a five day growth that is relatively thick. e. has a narrow head to get into tight spaces. What would you suggest as a budget option that punches above its weight class (lot of value for the money) and could compete with more expensive razors and an "if money was no object" option? All the Best, Matt

[@matthewkniser8367]

I have some of yr choice razors , yes DE89 is very cheap , the old gillette TOO are great , merkur 34C for me is mild, rockwell 6 C I have the gunmetal finish , great great razor , use it with blade 2, greetings from Mexico , robert , for me the mildest razor and cheap one is still the lord 3 pces , cost here only around 3 dollar ,

[@MrGShave]

Some great choices Kevy, quite a few of which featured in my Magnificent 11👍 I am so tempted by the Blackbird though. It is the only razor that I may end up breaking my one in one out rule lol. I have the Vector which is the most beautiful SE I have in my den.

[@vlscrnt]

Great collection Kevy ! Use them all in good health!!!😀. (VLS)

[@saevans63]

Great selection. For me the Rockwell 6S on R4 is my daily driver. I prefer the Merkur 33C over the 34C. I’ve also got the Gillette Heritage but I’ve found it too mild. Might have to try a Feather in it.

[@erniefay8644]

Great video. Just received the Rex Envoy and I really like it. Fantastic razor.

[@BartBuzz]

Hi Kevy! It's me again. Is this your most recent review where you said the 6S was still your favorite DE razor? I will say that you almost got me. When you said you'd use the Gillette Heritage as your daily driver, I was expecting you to say it was your new favorite. Then you followed up saying the 6S was still your favorite because you could shave with it in your sleep 😉 But I can understand that you had 11 categories to fill. Maybe the 6S should have been daily and favorite. Anyway, I always find your comments interesting and informative...filled with a bit of humor. My regards.

[@Ali4451_]

Great choices!

[@alexdeleon7135]

Excellent choices! I'm curious that Parker was left out of contention for budget friendly, or daily driver. Nevertheless, all contestants were well chosen. I'm in full agreement with the 6S. It shaves well with ALL blade brands. The Muramasa haunts my dreams. I want one now, then again, I want a Blackbird just as badly. Arthur did a smashing job on the numbers of the Progress! He's quite handy, and always a fierce friend to all who know him. Enjoy your weekend, my friend. Stay safe and my best wishes to your loved ones at Castle Parr.

[@kevyshaves4109]

I forgot about Parker. That would have been ideal for budget. Kevy 🙂

[@ripvanwincle2258]

Hey, Kevy! Love your videos! I've been watching for over a year, but this is my first comment. Could you ask Arthur what kind of paint he used for the numbers on your Merkur Progress? It looks beautiful! I'm now thinking of doing the same, but I'm not sure what kind of paint would work best. Great lineup of razors for your Magnificent 11!

[@Leenunes007]

I know you did this list a while ago. Would you change any if you did it today? I saw this video a while back, before I had 11 razors, so I'm just working on my list now. I have mostly vintage razors, but I am tempted to use the Merkur 34C as my classic choice. I know that sounds silly when it's newer than most of my other razors, but I look at DE shaving as having 2 periods, last century and this century. We're in an era where people are rediscovering how they may have shaved years ago, or it's a brand new way for younger people. Even though most of my razors could be considered classics, I think the Merkur 34C is the classic of this period of wet shaving. Most people started with it, and didn't get any vintage razors until a bit further into wet shaving. Fat Boys and Techs are newer to most of us than the 34C.

[@Leenunes007]

1. Style: Gillette ABC Pocket 2. Budget Friendly: Gillette Tech 3. Under Appreciated: Gillette Super Speed 4. Premium: Rex Ambassador - normal version 5. Sentimental: Gillette Slim Adjustable (I started wet shaving because I'm a James Bond fan, and this is the razor from Goldfinger) 6. Versatile: Rockwell 6S 7. Classic: Merkur 34C 8. Daily: Gillette UK Aristocrat 9. Autopilot: Gillette Red Tip 10. Aggressive: Rex Ambassador - an earlier batch from 2017 that's much more aggressive than the version 11. Cannot be ignored: Razorock Game Changer

I think some of these choices will change as I try different razors as the years go by. Cheers. Kevy 🙂

[@edwardmiles6513]

The handle on the Gillette Vintage razor is a reproduction of the bar handle Gillette put on its New Razors of the 1930s. It's a shame that Gillette didn't release something more classically Gillette, for example the original heavy Tech, which would also have also been very inexpensive to manufacture. Gillette doesn't get high marks for imagination, nor understanding the likes of its customers.
