Labor Day Shave 2019. PAA Cube 2.0, King R. Emporium Soap/Aftershave, Razorock Hawk- Green

Trying some new items today. The newly formulated Cube from Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements, just released today and is a fantastic pre-shave. Next by popular demand the King R. Emporium - Shave Soap & Aftershave. Finally first use of the RazoRock Hulk Green Blackhawk Razor.
CUBE Directions: Before shaving, wash face with CUBE. This “Degreases” the face. Immediately before applying lather, wet and rub CUBE against the grain, do not rinse off, apply lather on top. You need only apply CUBE before first pass...BOOM! Scent free = No clashing odor!
King R. Emporium!
Sourced from Gillette cannisters of the 1900's this scent is a wonderful complex mixture like none other! Masculine, and dark, light, and sweet, it is reminiscent of a better time. Men were gentlemen and 'vintage' was on the cutting edge.
Thanks for watching. Subscriptions Appreciated.

PAA is my brand of choice. Being of a younger generation I dont remember DE razors and I definitely don't remember the classic scents. PAA is my portal to experience some of the Discontinued classic scents that he has brought back to life. The new CK-6 formula is awesome too! If only he could keep the Copper DOC razor in stock until my pay day I would be happy..

Commando is an all time classic and one of my favorite films. I just watched Cobra earlier this evening and forgot how great it was as well. Anything from Matt and Doug is going to be a stellar product, as always. At least, in my humble opinion.

Hello Ken, That cube looks interesting, I always use a Pre-Shave, so I may look into that product. I've got your 2019 summer edition brush, the Badger and I'm well impressed with it. I've been testing it out for the last week, it's excellent, this is the largest (widest) brush I have. Thank you for your entertaining videos. All the best

[@kensurfs]

Drcharlesworth Thank you very much👍👍💈

[@scottbruce8951]

I have the Hulk razor and am surprised by how much I enjoy it in my rotation. Just picked up the old version of the cube and love it as a pre shave wash.

Great shave Ken. Looks like pre-shaves are here to stay. Would never have guessed that a few years ago. A really good razor I think but didn`t care for the color. Take care.👍

I have switched to using Mitchell's woolfat as a pre shave soap. I rub it on my face, lather it up with my hands and let it sit while I load my brush with soap. I then rinse my face and proceed to face lather. Nothing has compared to this for an awesome pre shave prep!!

Fantastic shave Ken!!!! I really like that razor!!! I may have to pick one of those up! I did just make a vintage Gillette score this weekend. I was able to get a near mint Blue tip and a Red tip for less than $50 bucks at a garage sale locally. I'm going to send the Red tip to Razor Emporium for restoration. But after that Red tip comes back, I have to buy that Hulk green razor! It would be my first single edge razor, hopefully it's worth the purchase. Enjoy your week Ken!!!!

[@kensurfs]

NY Diesel in Fl They are super smooth shavers with the Pink blades 👍👍

[@nydieselinfl]

@@kensurfs yes, I just put in the order for the Hulk green one, and sent off the Red tip for a restore. Hopefully mine comes back looking as sharp as yours did when you sent yours off. Cheers!!!!

[@knightmare1015]

Great shave Ken and happy labor day to you and your family as well. That's the newer version of the Hawk SE which has the same weight and blade exposure but with a rounded top cap while the old one had an angular top cap. I'm waiting on the Eco which is RazoRock's Half DE blade version. I recently got the "Tube" preshave soap which is a travel size twist up container of the old 1.5 version of Cube and it's excellent.

[@kensurfs]

Good shave. Did you know that for shaving brush started about 1756 in France. They uesd Badger & Boar.it was an old saying : ( A good lather is half the shave ) however, the shaving brush arrived in England by the beginning of the 19th century. Interesting "eh"

Another great shave in the books! You need to try MAOL Grooming’s aftershave. It comes in 4 scents. I have all 4 scents but Frankinlime is my favorite. It comes in regular or frosted (menthol). In my opinion the best aftershave on the market. West Coast Shaving has them.

[@WolfRanger2008]

It's true, a broken clock is right twice a day and I actually have the same Brand/Model/Color/Blade of the razor used in this video. Will wonders never cease? :D On a slightly more down to earth note: I do not find that extra width of this razor to make a significant difference in the amount of shaving time. It's just wider but it is one's overall shaving technique and mastery of handling the razor that makes the length of the shave shorter or longer, just my opinion.

[@kensurfs]

WolfRanger2008 You are correct. What blades do you use?
