My Shaving Products & Equipment.

[@nilodrallub7812]

THANKS PAUL for making the video ! I like my visits with you !

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks for the recommendations, must look into them, thanks for watching this .Paul.

[@okiedokie_cool]

Great collection, life used to be simple then ;)

[@eightstorywindow]

Very nice collection Paul. The red bowl stole the show though.

[@PaulHFilms]

Hi Tony, I have been DE shaving on and off for 20 years, but never would I go back to any other way now..I very much liked the VERGULDE HAND soap, has a good lather when you work it, I always find dipping the brush slightly either under the tap or in the sink, helps keep the soap from drying on your face..may work for you. Thanks, all the best Tony. Paul.

[@ChicagoShaving]

Great items especially the edwin jagger razor and the palmolive shave stick

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks for watching it Danny. The Dutch soaps and products are great. :-)

[@delodelo1]

Love your posts - just getting back into de razors... Humour is great - Glad you have the Wilkinson shaving soap and brush, makes me think it was a good buy,,, cheap at Walmart... I like do like the smell of it.

[@bisognini]

Hello Paul! you need to do other latest video of your products and razors! Fantastic Video! Receive my greetings Robert from Brazil

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, It is Arko Classic, but not heard of the "oil" being in it. Heard of Arko Nem, but don't have any though.

[@fatihselimi1283]

Derby is a Turkish brand.

[@MultiErkan1]

Adamda Türk zaten. Aksanından belli orjinal İngiliz olmadığı

[@baz007]

How the collection has grown Paul!

[@ronr3623]

Paul it is nice to watch you on your videos, you are a natural on the camera and at ease most of the time.I watch GEOFATBOY & Nick shaves to learn more about shaving, watching you guys- I ordered blades and shavers and crème's and have not told the wifey all the details. I'm semi retired and have lots of time to shave and enjoy it for now.(learn lots on youtube)Thanks

[@PaulHFilms]

That's great Ron, thank you....semi-retired....that is nice, you will have some great time for shaves ahead then....fantastic....all the best.....Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

I couldn't compare them really, as I don't have the Merkur HD 34c, shame that, but thanks for the question. Paul.

[@sleggsman]

Nice collection. I feel a trip to Boots coming on to try and catch up.

[@PaulHFilms]

Hi Nick, yes boots are a bit slow stocking up, a blade lasts me about 5-6 shaves, hope you enjoy your DE shaving too :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

No not tried it yet, only looking at that the other day..must do it soon. Thanks. Paul

[@PaulHFilms]

It's fantastic, hope you get one soon. Thanks .Paul.

[@brianb.2894]

Hi Paul Thank you very much for your suggestions about Palmolive. I had pretty much done everything you suggested and then I got to thinking. My shaving mug is now full of Arko [which as I`ve learned from you is truly the nector of the gods] so because of that I was using a very slippery coffee cup for the Palmolive. Anyway in the mean time I`v found a bowl with a rough interior which acted as an aggregate and now I`m getting a great lather. Slippery is bad rough is good lol Now I`m a happy boy .Don`t worry about answering this as I know you`re probably busy. Have a good weekend. Brian

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, glad you like the videos, the "evin" I buy from a shop in Liverpool, L7 Market.

[@pankajnadkarni]

Hi Paul...so good to see your early collection of razors that you started with. I'm sure you wouldn't have imagined that it would grow into such a good variety of collection that you have today...especially the Gillette vintage ones :)

[@PaulHFilms]

Your right, I did not imagine how it would grow...lol....very happy. Thank you and all the best.....Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

That is so far my favourite shaving soap. Thanks. Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

I tend to buy things bit by bit really, you get more for your money too shaving this way, many thanks. Paul.

[@deshave5260]

Hi Paul. It's great to see you making a video when you were 10 years old. You've come a long way since then. I think that this vid is very inspiring and proves that everyone has to start somewhere. I would love it if you were to post it again for wet shavers who are just starting out. Even a clip on your next videos would be fantastic. Cheers, Rob and Theresa.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you, must check if I still have this on a drive, didn't used to back them up at the start. All the best to you both :)

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks very much. Paul.

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

Superb paul! Great collection ..

[@titan90000]

Just getting into DE shaving and have a vintage Gillette Slim from 1963 on it's way. Wondering if you have ever used one and how it compares to your Futur. I have been using shaving soap, a brush, and my great grandfather's Old Spice shaving mug from 1948 for 7 or 8 years now. I will never go back to foam or gel in a can. I also have some Proraso creams on the way to give them a try. Just when I thought going to DE razors would save me money over cart shaving. I now see all of these products I need to try, lol.

[@PaulHFilms]

titan90000 It is nice you enjoy DE Shaving, and especially when you use handed down items, it's a nice feeling isn't it..I have a Gillette Slim Twist (non adjustable) razor and a Gillette Slim Adjustable, both fantastic razors, the Merkur Futur is in a class of it's own in comparison really, it is much more aggressive. the Slims are a good standard aggression, the adjustable can be made milder or slightly more aggressive of course, due to it's settings...hope you enjoy your products when they arrive, and yes DE shaving can become expensive..lol...and addictive...all the best...Paul.

[@shavefan12]

Paul I think your wife may call an intervention soon. Lol. I don't think I've seen a supply of shaving goods quite this large. You are ready to survive 100 years and never need to buy anything! I really wish we had stores here in the states that sell this stuff like in the uk.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, the EJ is great, good quality razor.

[@mikemanchester-miles7327]

Great video nice stuff

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you, the only method I use is to immediatly after shaving, rinse the brush under hot water, and then squeeze excess water out and give the brush a couple of flicks of the wrist, then stand up to dry..:-)

[@johnnnm9689]

O, Rapira Super Stainless. Very good and smooth blades.

[@WolfRanger2008]

What a timely coincidence! I received a package in the mail the same day I watched this video( 3/17/2016) and it contained a Russian razor I had ordered but did not expect to arrive so quickly. Point being; it is the same brand "Rapira" as the razor blade that you showed but did not know how name due to the Cyrillic text. Secondly, it is interesting to compare the size and type of equipment compared to your March 2016 Shave Den video.

[@PaulHFilms]

+WolfRanger2008 Nice to get a package, hope you enjoy the blade, they are a good blade I find. the collection has grown a bit since this video...lol.

[@PaulHFilms]

It's a great place to shop, thanks again, hope you do an update too :-)

[@gregharris128]

Wow, Paul! And your wife doesn't have a cow with all that stuff?? Great collection. I just got started with the Edwin Jagger (on your recommendation). I love the quality of the shaver, but still am a bit clumsy, a few nicks but still retained most of my blood. It's a nostalgia trip, huh? I'm in DC USA and still trying to sort out where the supply stores are. I ordered most of the starter stuff on Amazon, but like to put my hands on stuff to shop, mostly. Well, thanks for the great vids. They're fun to watch and really, I've gotten some great tips from you. Probably, you've saved me from myself on more than one occasion. Peace to you and yours .

[@PaulHFilms]

+Greg Harris Thank you Greg, much appreciated, all the best to you....Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

That sounds interesting..Thanks. Paul.

[@4ila1000]

Nice video Paul! Tell me please what method do you use to clean your shaving brushes? They looked like new!

[@andrewwilson9617]

Hi Paul you like your Turkish products. I love Arko shave sticks. I push them down into a bowl and lather up with a brush.

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes, they are good, I done the same into my "The Big Shave" scuttle Andrew, works a treat :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

I have about 4 - 5 max out of one blade..Thanks. Paul.

[@ponydeal1]

Nice collection Paul, I enjoyed this, I was surprised you did not have a Slant Head, have you ever tried one? also I want to mention, glad to see you have Old Spice, I still love the stuff, it reminds me of my Dad to.

[@PaulHFilms]

No, not tried that yet..lol..but thanks for the comment :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes that's right....thanks. Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes, a good blade too. Thanks Paul.

[@hobbitofny]

Since this video, I see your collection has grown. I had alway wondered about the red bowl. I have enjoyed your many videos.

[@PaulHFilms]

+hobbitofny Thanks very much.....Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, yes Arko is great, it is reasonably priced here too, good product :-)

[@donfraysier5079]

Your collection has surely grown, but these products all seem fine.

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes grown quite a bit since this was filmed Don...lol.

[@munzamy]

Nice collection of chemicals

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you.

[@whitecrusher010]

Nice collection you have there Paul, can you tell me, how many shaves you would normally get out of a DE razor blade? Went into Boots today to buy a Wilkinson Sword Classic (my first DE razor) but they had none in stock. I'll keep trying. Many thanks, Nick.

[@LampuhkapsChannel]

Thats quite some collection of stuff you got there Paul. I can recommend the Merkur 39c to you, the Sledgehammer/Slant. I can also recommend the Proraso Aftershave Balm and i Bluebird blades! You should really give it a try! :D

[@PaulHFilms]

Many thanks, no don't have the Slant....(YET)...LoL....never tried one either, I have an idea of what they are like, but still nice to actually try one, ah...yes...old spice, I have a dab now& again too... Thanks .

[@paperhanger29]

If I ever travel to england I need to visit that L7 Market! Great video Paul you have some great stuff mate :) reminds me I should do a shave den update too

[@nelg70]

Hi Paul super videos your putting up. How would you compare your edwin jagger with a merkur HD 34c?

[@PaulHFilms]

Wonderful scent, woody but very "clean" smell I would say . Paul.

[@mapp47]

HI PAUL, nice stash you have there! i still would love to get my hands on a BOOTS razor.what are your thoughts on the VERGULDE HAND soap? i have not found a soap that stays moist on my face yet! how long have you been DE shaving you make it look so easy! thanks regards tony in Canada.

[@duncanidaho7494]

Hello Paul. Lovely video. However I wouldn’t say that the EJ DE89 is the Ferrari. Check the Chatsworth Barley, that is a fine razor. Have a good day mate

[@Peter007666]

Have you used the Vicco (Mr. Smiles) cream yet? If so what did you think of it?

[@m2jjd]

Thanks for presenting your shaving kit. does it sound accurate that I ordered the arko classic oil cream and I got something calls Arko Nem?

[@PaulHFilms]

Cheers Graham, must keep an eye out for it :-)

[@hunkylee]

Hi Paul, i love watching your videos. I have been shaving with with a DE safety razor for a couple of years, but still learning different techniques and its surprising that products i tried when i first started shaving with a DE safety razor that did not give good result work very well now. Any chance you can do and update of your shaving products and equipment. Thank for all your hard work.

[@PaulHFilms]

Lee Bingham Thank you, I think we are all still learning as we go, especially little things or techniques we find work better each time...I will be doing a video on my products etc in future yes. all the best....Paul.

[@Kirretje]

Hi Paul, how many shaves you do before changing your blade? When using the wilkinson sword classic?

[@tobym43]

interesting video paul. i want a edwin jagger razor now :)

[@davidposadas8409]

Todo un experto en todo lo que tiene que ver con el afeitado. Saludos.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you for your kind comment :-)

[@srhius]

I'm glad my first DE is rated as Ferrari. It really is a charm.

[@mikerose51]

John Nordstrom -Mines the Muhle -R41... I’m guessing Monster Truck? Lol

[@polpan1973]

Greetings from Qatar again! I don't know why this was pushed at the top of my to-view videos. You should do this again now... Talking about an epic-long movie that is going to turn out!

[@sherjeelchaudhry2773]

cool stuff

[@PaulHFilms]

+Sherjeel Chaudhry Thanks.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, I would say I like them both....for being different....if that makes sense, the futur and the EJ have excellent build quality, weight balance, etc, but I like each one for there differences.....I hope this makes sense? LoL...Thanks.

[@doneanddone4952]

Britain seems like paradise for a traditional shaver.

[@mrsrhardy]

Thats a hobby, I have a collection but others have an obsession. You start with enough, progress to sharing and lastly you end up on an episode of horders! Im yet to be convinced you have to buy expensive gear to enjoy shaving too. Loved the video, bring it with you when you come on holidays to AU and visit me anytime paul! Cant get arko here, so theirs your ticket already sitting on the bathroom shelf(s).... Steve, TheDailyShaver

[@PaulHFilms]

+Steve thedailyshaver Hi Steve, A visit to AU would be great, some Australian wet shaving..nice...yes I would bring you Arko...your missing out not having that there, not even online?.....all the best mate....and thanks..Paul.

[@mrsrhardy]

+PaulHFilms Well yes, i can get arko online if i really wanted too of course, but damnit Paul thats just not as much fun as having visitors bearing gifts! Just ask Jesus... Im in Bundaberg Queensland, 10k from the GBR, just off the shore at bagara beach. Visitors with a smile, gifts and a deep desire to milk every bit of R&R welcome!

[@Shaman_Ray]

The unmarked Boots razors you have are the same as the ones at Tesco. Personna, made in Israel. You should also try a Taylor of old Bonds St, if you want to splash out, and I also find Erasmic is an excellent shave stick, dirt cheap and doesn't smell like an urinal block, aka Arko. Arko is a nice lather, poor smell.

[@PaulHFilms]

Yes, there are a few names which tend to be used, but boar myself..Thanks for watching. Paul.

[@jojnbarcelos]

nice stuff paul which blades do you prefer

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you, I enjoy the Gillette Wilkinson Sword, Personna Reds, and the standard Wilkinson Sword.

[@lalu225]

hi Paul. is the red Evin supposed to smell like tobacco?

[@GiosSimCorner]

great video. How often do you shave I usually shave after a 3 day growth.

[@PaulHFilms]

Giovanni Messina Either every other day or 3 days maximum...thanks..Paul.

[@JackVeryEvil]

Great stuff and nice video!!! I just thought funny that you've lots and lots of stuff, almost like an arsenal of shaving products. - LOL But I think it's good to be trying different products to find the ones that you most like. I can't poke fun at you because I'm like you, mainly with fragrances and boots (shoes), I actually have dozens and dozens of them. Greetings from Brazil!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks, yes, I have too much really, but we have to have something eh?..lol..Paul.

[@Borna958]

Wilkinson classic was good for me initially, but personna is my blade, I get best shaves (almost bbs and sometimes bbs after hot shower) with it. I see you love arko :), in Croatia arko shaving creme costs less than 1€ good stuff, but I prefer wilkinson sword soap, for aftershave I use pitralon, cost about 3€. Thank you for making videos. Best regards.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks for watching the videos, you have some good products your using too..love pitralon ..Thanks again. Paul.

[@zacharyjroth]

Paul you are ready the shaving Apocalypse!

[@DismontDeSire]

How do you do? Paul you have already used the blade Supermax Super stainless? We are waiting for your review. I just think to buy a pack. As we have in the country sold the blade Rapira Super stainless, who also is in this video. If you have used them, please share your impressions. Your opinion is important to us. In addition, the blades we sell very cheap, so, too, can buy a pack.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Dismont DeSire Yes, I have used the Supermax in some videos, and it is a good blade, as you say especially for it's price...very good.....will use it again in a video....thanks..Paul.

[@jetblack4715]

Paul, where do you buy Astra blades? They are said to be from Russia, I am Russian but I've never come across one though I've been trying to find them for a couple of years. Widely sold are Rapira, Sputnik and Gillette platinum, Merkur and Derby you get only from online shops.

[@PaulHFilms]

Сергей Белецкий They are mainly bought online here, although the big Cities here sell them of course....it is funny how they don't sell them there isn't it?....we find things like that here too...weird...thanks..Paul.

[@Bisinski]

Сергей Белецкий The Astra I bought here in Brazil came from Turkey. I searched on the nets and they say Astra has a plant in Saint Petersburg though. badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/394868-Astra-blades-where-are-they-from

[@PaulHFilms]

No, but they should do, with the amount of there products I use. :-))

[@PaulHFilms]

You may be right there...LoL...yes it's not until you everything together.....you think....wow...maybe hold back a bit now.. Many thanks.

[@PaulHFilms]

LoL...yes I thought it might.. Thanks .

[@morph2g]

whats the scent of old spice like?

[@T-R.e.x]

I want an update of your DEN 2017 Paul! Cheers!

[@PaulHFilms]

Here you go: bit.ly/2jhcxTA :-)

[@Kurtsyoutube]

wow, nice :)

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

That's great :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

No not really, they have a very long shelf life, but if they were "off" I would throw it and replace it.

[@murathanakordeon]

You became heavily Turkish LOL :D

[@smert_rashistskiy_pederacii]

6:20 and now 2015 arrived. I belive now all of those gone now. Let's assume you have used 1 blade per 3 times shaving. That's 29 months x 30 days / 3 times = 870 / 3 = 290 blades? And on video we see 100 pcs + 14 pcs of 5 pcs each = 170 pcs only. So which brand's blade performed the best?

[@PaulHFilms]

BAU Wilkinson Sword and Personna last the longest...but it changes depending on your growth at the time of the shave, and which razor your putting the blade in.. thanks..Paul.

[@smert_rashistskiy_pederacii]

PaulHFilms thank you for the response. I'm a newbie to T-razors, so I bought a Feather Popular T-razor + 50 pcs of Feather blades. Will see how long 1 blade last. Now it is 4 times shaving.

[@zellerized]

That boots razor reminds me of a Gillette Knack.

[@bignewshound]

Wow you have come a long way from this early start. It's been interesting to watch you go from total novice - pronouncing George Trumper as gee-ohh (the victorian short form) to raving about the terrible Yuma - to being one of the best reviewers on KZbin. Love how you called the Jagger a 'Ferrari' before you knew about IKONs etc. Anyway. Keep up the great work.

[@PaulHFilms]

+bignewshound Yes come a long way from this, amazing when I think about it...thanks for watching.....Paul.

[@BuyVWRD]

Your razors look so clean. How do you keep them so shiney. I have a Edwin jagger and try to keep it clean but it doesn't look like yours!

[@PaulHFilms]

I just clean them regular, and dry them after use..but other than that..nothing really. Thanks. Paul.

[@omerfarukbozkurt7736]

I got the same problem. It's especially the Arko soap that sticks on to the Edwin Jagger.

[@selladore]

wow, you have so many wilkinson blades. Do you like them? I found them to be very, very dull, they were doing more pulling than cutting for me

[@PaulHFilms]

I like the wilkinson sword blades, a good all rounder for me, never had tugging issues with them up to now..thanks for the comment.. Paul.

[@inthmurm]

Cheers Paul! You mentioned you buy some stuff in Liverpool. I’m looking for a decent shave shop, where do you go in Liverpool?

[@PaulHFilms]

I got some Arko products and blades from the L7 Market in Kensington Liverpool, it's not a shaving shop, but they sold some Turkish products, not sure if they still do....cheers Mark :-)

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Good video mate, its weird the Edwin Jagger is your 'treat razor' and not the Merkur Futur which is more than double the price of the DE89.

[@PaulHFilms]

It's just the quality build of the Edwin Jagger, that I like, I use the futur a lot, a great razor. Had many more since this video..haha.. Paul.

[@UnoBadBadger]

I believe that odd blade with the black blue and pink/red is a rapira? I know its russian blade if i remember right.

[@mostafametwaly6557]

massive difference between this den and the recent den lol

[@PaulHFilms]

It is a good quality razor. It maybe over rated at times, but the reason they are rated so much, and the price they sell for, should speak for itself. You are entitled of course to your opinion, but please refrain from using such language on here please. Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

It is a copy of a gillette razor in many ways I think...Thanks. Paul.

[@Nobody-mr3ih]

Nice video! Remember keep it wet and smooth...

[@PaulHFilms]

+Deward Yocum Thanks for watching.....Paul.
