Merkur Futur | Gillette Super Stainless "Spoiler" DE Blade

[@hilaallnaturalsoaps9628]

Dear Paul - it was a pleasure to see my soap again in your video, your description of the soap is precise . I am not overdose with the mint cause I have some sensitive skin men clients using it . It is very nice of you to support small business like mine :) I wish you the best Hila

[@MidwayShooter]

Great shave Paul. I’ve been retired 2 days 💈

[@profesam8457]

Learned to shave with my Dad’s old Gilette slim. He handed it down after switching to a twin blade in the 70’s. I’ve always kept it although there were years when I could hardly find blades for it. The internet has made that easier. More recently I was given a Future. Those are my favorite razors. In spite of the aggressiveness of a Futur I like to pair it with a Feather and dial it back to a less aggressive setting. That Feather will still cut. Well, thanks for another nice video. Shaving is a very personal activity. Thanks for sharing it with us. Makes me look forward to seeing you twice a week or more.

[@PaulHFilms]

Many thanks, much appreciated :-)

[@CBShaves]

Hi Paul, nice shave once again. Lovely flowers again Mrs H thank you.. I had a nice delivery today, Mitchell's wool fat in ceramic bowl, Progress Vulfix 404 mixed badger & boar brush and to top it off a bottle of Blue Stratos eau de toilette, my first ever aftershave that I bought.. Happy day's... And my Birthday is just around the corner on the 13th. I sense a new razor on the way.. Thanks again Paul, never get tired of watching your videos.. See you soon my friend take care:-)

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Paul- Great shave; thank you! Nice soap and use of the Gillette Spoiler blade. A really nice and versatile blade. Lovely flowers from Mrs H; superb roses! I hope you are having a great week and see you on Sunday for the weekend shave. All the best, Paul!

[@marcdoherty6636]

Turkey Dinners are Thanksgiving holiday in November....Independence day, aka July 4th...it's all about barbecue! Cheers!

[@kieran7891]

Thanks for the mention Paul 👍🍀👍😀 4th of July here isn't about roasted turkey tho!😁 Hot dogs, 🍻, burgers and fries and chicken and potato salad 👍

[@TheCrash212]

Great shave, Paul. I recently picked up a lot of Gillette "Spoiler" and Personna 74 blades, can hardly wait to try them out. Have a great and safe week.

[@edwardmiles6513]

I've tried them both, and you should be very happy, although the length of time between switching out blades can get monotonous.

[@toddf9321]

Good evening Paul! Splendid floral arrangement Mrs. H! I am so excited you are using that vintage Gillette Super Stainless again..wow, 4th use and it seems to be just as pleasing to you as the first use. No Turkey dinners on July 4th. Perhaps Turkey burgers...some folks. Normally, it is steaks, hot dogs, bratwursts, hamburgers, BBQ pork, etc. Cookout foods. What I like about that Spoiler blades, you can shave and they don't irritate or give you weepers unless you try very hard to that very thing. Gillette state they long knew how to obtain the perfect edge on their blades. They also said that they needed a better coating to make it glide with no plucky pulling. I think they nailed the cutting edge and coating with the spoilers. Another sublime shave Paul. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@chalkie110]

I'm new to using a safety razor. Loving your vids. 👍

[@johncope8368]

Make the most of it indeed. Thank you Paul.

[@gazjackarmy]

I love this soap. I am about to finish a tub. First time I have ever got through a whole tub of soap.

[@brianb.2894]

Good shave and good night Paul. Its my bedtime. Cheers.😴

[@ricktemmen6272]

As always a great video Paul. Thanks so much. Cheers from Florida USA. 👍💈💈💈

[@davidbarker8516]

Good thanks Paul. Busy working and enjoying the sunshine. My weekly shave is personna blade (USA one). Persona red cream and aftershave. Take care to you and Mrs H. 😎👍

[@sydneyplatzer1287]

Great shave. I cant seem to find the spoiler blades. Can you suggest a site to purchase them.? Thanks and enjoy the balance of the week

[@johncampos633]

They look like real good shaving Products, also that razor looks very sharp and very space age! Thank you for wishing us a Happy 4th of July here in America, Mr. H 🇺🇸🎆🎆🗽🇺🇸 !! And yes ,We have a great time B.B.Q. with Hamburger, Hotdogs, Fried chicken and potatoes or mac in cheese salads or T bone Steaks ! Wonderful Family and friends Photos too ! Have a wonderful week and Beautiful Flower arrangements also Mrs. H, enjoy all your video clips Too Mr. H

[@Warren.I]

Congratulations on a shave well done, Paul. I used my Hila Soap for a shave last week. Your video moved me to put it front and center for tomorrow's. What's special about the soap is the soy wax. I've seen it nowhere else. I always check to see if Hila has come out with a second scent. None yet, but we're still waiting. The Spoiler seems well named.

[@talega1]

I'll have to try these blades. Only have one unopened 5b bank and then some others opened that I will never use...probably used then refilled... Very nice video, as always. I want to see those peppers!, but they need some leaves to survive....

[@purpleglitteruk]

Gr8 vid Paul 💈 Really like the of the skin bracer aftershave 👍 Wonderful flowers Mrs H 🌺 My toms are also sprouting fruits not sure if it'll be a bumper crop mind u 🤞 Read a tip recently re aphids on plant - mix some baking soda with water and spray over leaves. No idea if it works! Have a gr8 rest of the week both 👍💈🌺💈

[@edwardmiles6513]

It's so true that the 4th's for 'Que. And dogs, burgers, corn on the cob (woops, sorry, maize), baked beans, sweet potatos, and such (such as apple pie and ice cream). All turkeys are safe here until Autumn. (Then, yum!) If the Spoiler made the Futur less aggressive than usual, I'd be curious to know how many more uses it gives. The feedback in the video sounds the way my blades do when they've got at most one use left, but the Spoiler is for sure a very good blade, and it would be interesting to know whether it goes longer. BTW, the last two days I've gotten two spectacularly good shaves, one each with a pair of cropes, Cella and Connecticut Yankee. Any possibility of a review of each or either?

[@bendycard]

Very nice shave Paul, you’ll be putting the superblade in your shavette next. I’ve always liked the look of those old ever ready brushes, they look great. 🙄 Lovely flower arrangement LH 😌💐

[@stevensimpson1020]

Great shave...

[@bladeskull2482]

Very nice shave sir.

[@tamera.b3150]

Paul in my opinion the best razor for your skin Edwin jagger de89 i saw the reviews of it good job have a good day

[@bangbangyouredead]

A tip for green fly, if you can't use insecticides: My great nan used to pour the used cold dishwater over her roses, which gets rid and keeps the greenfly away. I've tried it myself and it works. Must be the drying effect of the detergent.

[@BillHosler]

My mother used to put washing up liquid (like Fairy liquid) mixed with water into a spray bottle and sprayed the leaves of her plants to keep the bugs from eating leaves. Btw were you taking the Mickey about turkey on July 4th?🤣

[@gnomeoshaves4641]

Great Shave Sir Paul! Looking forward tpo some BBQ on the 4th! Have a great rest of the week

[@tomhstorey]

I’ve found the Gillette Platinum to be working very well for me at the minute. It’s such a shame the spoiler isn’t produced anymore and is a bit of bugger to get hold of, will track some down and give them a go in the futur(e) :)

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

Beautiful shave Paul! Did you use this soap exactly one year ago, on July 4th, a coincidence? Good evening!

[@WolfRanger2008]

I am lukewarm on July 4th and esp at the present time....But I enjoy having the day off....Menu on the 4th is more burgers, hotdogs, and steaks on the outdoor grill but I wouldn't put it past some nonconforming soul to have a roast or more likely a fried turkey. ;-)

[@001PeteK]

I don't need a shave at the min but after that video I want to have one and use my chineses Merkur Futur copy shaver. Haven't used it in ages..... :-)

[@damianjones7554]

Great stuff Paul, I've really got to try one of those murka razors. Tell me though which is the best out of the murka and the gellette fatboy in your opinion?

[@DE_Razor_Shaving]

Good vid. Good ole Skin Bracer. Lol.👍🏼I’ve never used a horse hair brush before.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

The one that Paul's using looks like it still has the marks from where the jockey was hitting it!😉

[@terryph5035]

Couldn’t find that blade for sale in the UK , it’s for sale on EBay but again the shipping makes it a no no for me , I didn’t look where it came from but obviously it’s the USA 🇺🇸 , pity that I would have liked to try it , but not at £11 postage ...The Futur is to much for me now , but still a great looking razor.. I would like to see an aluminium Dorco PL 602 , it would suit me well ...Cheers Paul....Just found out the blade is discontinued..Oh yes , Happy 4th of July to all those friends across the pond 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

As usual, an amazing arrangement by the Mrs. One of my top blades.

[@johnsuffill6520]

Even with nearly a weeks growth, I rarely take my Futur off setting 1. Putting it onto setting 6 for a couple of days growth is like calling the fire brigade to put out a match! Try it next time you use the Futur, setting 1 throughout the entire shave.

[@Rumpleskin]

Don't know about everybody else,but we always grill.mostly hot dogs, burgers,etc.glad to here that their isn't any sore feelings over the 4th.lol

[@terrym1065]

Great shave Paul💈💈 Thanks for the 4th of July thoughts🎆independence comes first followed by hot dogs, hamburgers, fireworks and lots of ice cold brew😎 You would think with all the modern technology out there, someone could make good blades like they used to. Gillette Super Stainless "Spoiler", Personna 74 Tungsten, Wilkinson Sword "Light Brigade" 👍 Nicely done with chat and fun. Mrs H is on par again, beautiful display, thanks. Enjoy!

[@shave-a-thon3415]

We're also usually treated to a concert on PBS (public broadcasting) from the Washington mall. Unlike the UK which brings out the cream of British pop history for holiday shows, we get to see a bunch of artists who'll put us to sleep. Once in awhile, a classic pop artist is on the bill. I think this year they have two major acts that had a few hits out of about 10 performers.

[@pkj77]

as always a great video

[@LPcasper]

Love the hair horse brushes. They're really soft in the skin. Let me tell you a thing, ok Merkur Future does a great job for sure but can't go conveniently under the nose and for me the perfect razors has to do the job perfectly in every centimeter of my face, because of that isn't in mine wish list razors. Great video as always and as always too what a beautiful arrangement flowers by Mrs H. Cheers.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

If you have copious hairs under the nose like I do (go right into the ridge of the nostrils), only a brand new blade on a low setting with any DE razor is safe for the dozens of buffs I need to do on each nostril. I sometimes wind up using the single edge side of the Fusion to trim the area under the nose. If you think that's tough, I'm at a age where the earlobes and edges of the ears need to be trimmed, too. For that I only use a cartridge razor or an electric nose trimmer when they don't break down.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Let me add that Paul's horse hair brush looks like it still has the marks from where the jockey was hitting it! 😉

[@LPcasper]

@@shave-a-thon3415 thanks for the tips. I always avoid to buy razors with huge "heads" like this ones. When I used cartridge razors I had the same problem with the 5 blades, because they can't cut well under the nose and it's so annoying to me. About the hair hears I'm using also the nose trimmer.

[@LPcasper]

@@shave-a-thon3415 my horse hair brush it's pretty new, so incomparable with the Paul's brush. :)

[@alexquinn7144]

One of the best razors for getting under my nose, imho, is the Gamechanger. Out of the few razors that I have this is the most comfortable one for me.

[@bendover8250]

I created a concoction called the Bracerita. 1 part Skin Bracer, 1 part Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic. Smells just like a lime popsicle and has a cooling menthol effect. Give it a shot!

[@markwalsh6714]

Great video as always. Sounds like you've found your perfect blade Paul. Better than the Wilkinson sword ? Dare I say it 😅😅

[@CravingShaving]

I love how most of the comments so far are correcting you on what we eat for the 4th! I've never heard of anyone having a turkey dinner. We're having hamburgers and bratwurst with some potato chips and apple pie. You just have to think more American 😉

[@krismckay8526]

😂😂 @ the ice cream truck. Classic!

[@alexquinn7144]

They now do a Merkur Futur with Braille next to the numbers, handy when you forget your glasses 🤓

[@cito4633]

The Fourth of July menu consists of outdoor grilling of beef (or pork) followed up with banter about how we kicked British arse in 1776 😂😂😂. Cheers Paul!

[@edwardmiles6513]

After Boston, the ass kicking that year was largely in the other direction, until Trenton (and Saratoga the next year, I think). But I agree, after a couple of beers, your story is far more satisfying.

[@r7eagle_]

Paul. I need your email because I somehow lost the last one you gave me. I have some interesting topics to discuss with you. Great video again, as usual.

[@cecilleebrown1439]

No Turkey but lots of hamburgers and hotdogs 😃

[@Eth3realwarrior]

You must scramble many killer squadrons of 🐞 s.

[@minty1422]

Great shave Paul. The Merkur Futur looks too aggressive for me.....P.s I'll have a '99' !

[@airdbreck]

Great shave yes great blade but no longer produced 😞😞

[@stephienycgooner6378]

On the 4th most people cook hot dogs and hamburgers, or have some kind of cookout🇺🇸

[@wtre428476]

Lavender & Lace...Top Marks Mrs H....were you scared by an ice cream truck as a child..lol...I wanted to buy that razor but over the years you have scared me off it...lol..."If Pauls scared so am I"..lol..Retirement is great..Thanks for asking...Sleep late. ...Long slow shave's. Less nicks when your not in a rush...wife cooking breakfast...Bangers and Eggs with toast...

[@Toxicbell]

Murica! It's all about the BBQ, beer, and fireworks.

[@TheEnduranceaddict]

I get drunk as fuck and blow shit up on Independence Day!!!!

[@airdbreck]

Not interested unless you plan on sending me some 🌶😂🤣😂🤣

[@airdbreck]

Order me a 99

[@cpfrombvbalisongs8696]

Is it called a Spoiler blade because once you use it, it "spoils" you to other blades? LOL
