Mama Bear’s Shave Soap-Drakkar, Bevel Razor, Cremo Horse Hair Brush & Drakkar Noir Aftershave.

Trying out a new soap for the first time from Mama Bear’s Soaps in Wisconsin. This is a glycerine soap that a lot of you viewers asked me to give a try. This on is based on the fabulous men's cologne, this duplication is very close to the original fragrance. For a men's fragrance, it has some very interesting notes of spicy berries, citrus, lavender and amber. It's a wonderful all-around men's fragrance.
Thank you for watching. Subscriptions appreciated.

[@msan2653]

One of the best pre shaves I have found is the Shave cream BULL DOG skincare for men. All natural ingredients. Made in The United Kingdom. Given a great shave, I hope you are able to get some, you will be surprised how effective it is. Boots the chemist were selling it half price for £1.75 for 100ml.

[@kensurfs]

Michael Sanders I’ll look right now👍👍💈I just bought some from eBay

[@chriseh09]

I have to give you a huge shout out Ken!!! I had received a pack of Feather blades with a sample pack I bought a few months back but have always been a little Leary of using them as my skin is a tad sensitive. I have tried numerous blades and have had a few shave really good but have "paid the price" for using a few!!! After your video the other week using the Feather and the Muhle razor I just had to try the Feather blade.....and I did with a Parker!!! Best shave, no irritation and my face felt the best it has since I have been shaving....no cuts or nicks either!!! I tried it again a few days later just to see if it was a "one time thing" but it was the same!!! I have now used a couple of the Feather blades and Have had to order some!!!! Thank you for the wisdom and knowledge that you share and I appreciate all your hard work that goes into your videos!!!

Killer deal for the Bevel on Amazon's new Store Front site. Nice shave video Ken, been pumping them out regularly lately..sweet. Mama Bear's is nice for sure, great vintage scents. No Shave November, I get it. Since I wear facial hair anyway, I'll continue to shave on. Vegas is fun for a day or two. Good to see you getting a new camera mount. Smooth finish. Enjoy!

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Ken- Very nice shave and soap review; thank you! I really enjoy using the Cremo horsehair brush as well. I would keep the mustache going if you are going to have a goatee for Movember and just trim it as necessary along the way. I hope your week is going well and all the best!

[@kensurfs]

Thanks for doing a Mama Bear review! I was one that suggested reviewing her products. I think I’ll have to order some after hearing your opinions on it.

[@kensurfs]

Lucas Krogmann Thank you Lucas. Sue is awesome👍👍💈

[@MadAzn53]

Another solid shave Ken. I love Vegas mainly cause of family and friends, but so much to do off the strip. When on the strip, I love checking out the lounge acts, and driving isn’t too bad (got used to it) but prefer just walking the strip and taking Uber.

[@kensurfs]

Mike Nguyen If you are used to that traffic that is super cool. It seems like most of the places charge parking now so Uber is a good alternate👍👍💈

[@MadAzn53]

Kensurfs Yeah, been a year since I’ve been back and won’t pay for parking either. Uber or other options much better

[@RSBurgener]

Hey, Ken. Great video! If only Mama Bear made a Hai Karate soap! I guess you can't always get what you want. As far as the moustache, perhaps you should consider what I call the "Doc Holiday". It's where you grow out the soul patch under your lip and shave it to a bit of a point with the moustache above it. I think it looks cool and I may be doing that for Mowvember. A little wax at the ends completes the look.

[@kensurfs]

Sellers Burgener 👍👍👍I’ve had one before

Great shave. I'm a fan of Mama Bear's soaps. I first discovered them looking for an Old Spice type scent. I currently have her Aged Spice, British Leather and Brute soaps.

[@kensurfs]

Claude Johns Excellent Claude👍👍💈

[@adamlee3789]

Claude Johns- hey man, I'm a fan of mama bear soaps as well. So how close to scent are the brut, aged spice, and british leather? I was curious about those on my last order. I can say, fall leaves, patchouli, and men's musk are all very good. They went well for me this winter.

Great shave. I'm doing No Shave November in which I'm stopping shaving altogether for the whole month. I was able to make it through that month last year and this year I hope I do make it. Although I found the Drakkar Noir, I still haven't used it nor tried it, but I hope to use it soon

[@robwalsh1322]

UPDATE: stubble starting to come back today 😂 I'd recommend the combination of a feather blade in the R41 to anyone who likes or only wants to shave every 2-3 days as this will keep your face smooth for that length of time if you do at least a 3 pass shave with the combination of a feather blade and the R41 😊

[@Gojira76]

Great shave Ken. Glad you enjoyed your trip. I need to try Mamma Bear soaps. I’ve been looking at getting some to try for a while. I’ve read many positive reviews and just need to find the right scent to try. I have a Cremo Horse Hair brush as well. I feel it performs well; however, the knot is pretty small. I wish Cremo would sell a brush with a larger knot. Is that the PAS Rocket brush on the top shelf? That is a huge brush.

[@robwalsh1322]

Grow the goatee 😊 also mounts with suction cups performance deteriorates the more you remove them from the surface it's sticking too, so maybe keep the old one for the trips you go on and leave the new one where it is so it'll last longer😊 also had a shave with the muhle r41 with a feather blade installed today 😂 smoothest shave ever 😂

[@kensurfs]

Robert Walsh did you get any cuts?

[@robwalsh1322]

A few small nics and alot of razor burn as I did a 4 pass shave with the grain, across the grain from nose to ear then ear to nose and finally against all the way, the allum block stung alot haha 😂 but what a smooth shave 😊 I'll post an updated comment in a few days cause I feel like I won't feel stubble for awhile after the shave 😂

Excellent shave and video Ken. Never seen a 50 ft tall stripper pole before, bahahahaha. I would keep the moustache and then start growing a goatee for Mowvember. No need to shave off the stache.

[@kensurfs]

Stephen Davidson I agree Stephen👍👍💈

[@seanmccloskey1981]

Thanks for a great shave. I like the Bevel idea, anything that brings DE shaving to people can only be good. How does that menthol and eucalyptus measure up to Proraso? As for Movember is it not the case you start 1 Nov clean shaven and go from there? If not keep the mustache and grow a goatee you could trim the moustache down to a stubble/few days growth to blend it in easier.

[@kensurfs]

Sean McCloskey Nice idea Sean👍💈

[@stephensmoot8874]

Great video as usual you might as well leave the mustache through next month.. you are right about not driving in Las Vegas Uber is great

[@sleve_mcdichael_]

I've always wanted to do Movember, but I just can't get past the itching! I love wet shaving and I have a nice collection of DE and straight razors. I have to admit, and I am ashamed to say it, but the best shave I have gotten is from a Gillette Fusion. I have tried multi pass shaves from every type of DE I can think of and I break out. If I make a single pass with a Fusion, my face is smooth as glass and I never break out. One question, was it difficult to get your wife on board with having your own 'shave den'? Lol. My wife would probably go for it, but she would give me a stare first.

[@chrisharrington4373]

It was all he used and he was the one that inspired me to wet shave. And it was also offered in a porcelain bottle. I wanted to try n make it as close to how he did it
