[@dallascole1929]

Love it! A classic shave with a classic the Tabac for a classic gent! Well made Paul!!!

[@SyBass6]

"Some greenery thing"..........Thank you Mr Titchmarsh ;-)

[@gunner9010]

Hi Paul, I've been using a Tabac shaving stick with the Wilkinson Sword Classic razor along with a Blades Grim synthetic brush in the shower for the back of my neck about every 2 weeks for the last few years. I see my old post below from 7 years ago. That's amazing. Where does the time go. lol Thanks for the ideas. Lovely shave. Thanks.

[@jcarrickzilla]

The Edwin Jagger DE89 is truly a beautiful razor - just a quality shaver! Tabac scent is fabulous! Their balm is a winner as well. Another fine video Paul, thanks for sharing!

[@DavidTorres-zp1ef]

+jcarrickzilla I agree. I've tried over 20 SE and DE shavers and IMHO The Edwin Jagger DE89 is the best DE razor on the market. The Clones do not do as well as the real thing. Best Regards, David

[@PaulHFilms]

+jcarrickzilla It is isn't it, the Rolls Royce of DE razors, lovely scent on Tabac....all the best....Paul.

[@gunner9010]

Thanks for another great video Paul. I've been using Classicshaving's vanilla 3"pucks for 10 years with Clubman Pinaud vanilla after shave and I still like those but I was looking for something different but just as classic smelling without anything to costly or womanly smelling. I think I'm going to try some Tabac. Seems incredibly popular amongst the KZbin shaving community. Thanks again.

[@MarkBedingfield]

Thanks Paul, going to need to try the Personna Red---- Great Video as usual--Awesome Flora too!! Thanks to Mrs H---

[@juanluevano9244]

Thanks Paul for sharing such experiences that's fantastic of you. Warm regards keep it up and sharing 👌🏻👍🏿

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

Paul fantastic shaving! Beautiful product,Tabac my favourite soap and AS....

[@PaulHFilms]

+marco cerqueglini Thanks Marco, nice Tabac isn't it....Paul.

[@MichaelThomascga1996]

Another excellent shave Paul! Haven't gotten to Tabac yet, but I will! I have used persona reds and like them. Have a great rest of the week!

[@PaulHFilms]

+Michael Thomas Thanks Michael, all the best....Paul.

[@Stuart36]

Top shave... strange how different people can get different reactions, I love Tabac and I think the slickness is great. Keep up the good work

[@byrnedes]

Stuart Sidebotham I agree. Tabac is my favourite soap and I find it’s slickness to be excellent.

[@smarkl54bbin]

Paul I like the design of the Edwin Jagger looks sold & well built, when you said it was built from the same type of metal as a Rolls Royse that really confirmed it for me. I've reviewed Edwin Jagger razors online & I really like what they have to offer.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Mark Vehar Thanks Mark, yes they use the same Chrome as used in Rolls Royce cars...excellent quality, and they are a family business too based in Sheffield. all the best...Paul.

[@wtre428476]

Lemon witch hazel with aloe followed by after shave... then Nivea sensitive cream to finish....You taught Me Well Paul...lol

[@PaulHFilms]

+William Trexler LoL...yes it's all in the mix you see.. :-)

[@TheChaz5504]

Great video as always, Paul. Funny, I mostly use soaps (with tallow in them- tabac has tallow) and find them to be slicker than creams. I do a couple of things different, though... I usually bloom the soap for a couple of minutes while I do my prep, and load the brush a lot more vigorously. I mix in a tiny bit of water occasionally (dip the brush in the cup I had it soaking in) as I face lather, and give a quick rinse with warm water to my face between passes... not to get off the soap but just to re-wet. Of course, YMMV. My wife just read this post over my shoulder and is laughing at me!!! No one understands...LOL (P.S.- tabac IS a great classic, and I have to try those personna reds... love the blues- but people rave about those reds...)

[@PaulHFilms]

+TheChaz5504 Yes, water can make a big difference, you do a good prep by the sounds of it...my other half doesn't really understand either...lol...finds it all amusing. I think you would enjoy the reds, if you like the blues....all the best and thanks....Paul.

[@andrewmarshall1262]

Great video Paul. A tip I sometimes use if I have time is to steam my face prior to a shave. Piping hot water in a bowl and a towel over the bowl. Stick your face under the towel and let the steam do the work. Massage a little hair conditioner into the beard and steam a bit more. Can be a bit time consuming but well worth it in my opinion. See you Sunday.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Andrew Marshall Sounds like a nice treat prep that...thanks Andrew, these tips help many....all the best mate...Paul.

[@pugdognation3219]

Fantastic shave as always, will have to dust off the ole Tabac today :). Great use of that blade, I also strop the blade after use and once I got 6 shaves from a feather, will be interesting to see if you get 5 from the Reds, good blades. Lovely plant too :). Hello to Mrs PaulH, see you Sunday. George and Mrs G

[@PaulHFilms]

+Pug Dog Nation Hi George & Mrs George....nice the Tabac, 6 shaves is great, will see how this red does....all the best to you both....see you Sunday.....Paul.

[@markanthonysmith413]

Nice shave Paul , I have had some good shaves this week, T & H Trafalgar, Gillette vintage Fatboy, Semogue Owners Club Brush, Thayers witch hazel with cucumber and to finish off Proraso blue andwhite Aftershave Balm, fantastic shave, hope your keeping well, really enjoyed your films on your other channel. - All The Best Mark.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Mark Smith Thanks Mark, sounds like some good shaving going on there too...nice...all the best mate...Paul.

[@davidevans8858]

Completely agree with you about the Semogue - I have the 830 which I think is like yours but in red and with dyed bristles it's my favourite, mine was only £13 too. You are also using my favourite blades too. By the way Nivea Men cream is on offer at Tesco. Great shave as always! All the best, Dave.

[@PaulHFilms]

+David Evans Great brushes aren't they David....good blades too...impressed so far....yes always look out for the offers, but i have enough...yet still can't help buying it..lol..all the best....Paul.

[@davec6908]

Thanks for sharing Paul, like you I love my semogue when using soaps, it's a fantastic brush now it's fully broken in :)

[@PaulHFilms]

+Dave C Thanks Dave, yes they are great brushes aren't they....all the best mate...Paul.

[@gamekingkiler]

Nice shave

[@tonymarinelli7303]

My wiry, coarse, beard dulls all blades super fast, especially since it started turning gray. 3 shaves is about all that I can get.

[@idubbzz7790]

i use a samoge owners club badger brush i love it

[@PaulHFilms]

Semogue do very good brushes....all the best Perry.

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Good video Paul, the Edwin Jagger is a perfect razor. Re: Sickness - I feel you'll never really get much slickness as you favour a dryer/pasty lather, slickness is water, so a decent amount has to be added to the mix, a damp brush won't be enough.

[@PaulHFilms]

+DeeDeeDanone Excellent razor isn't it, I get more slickness in creams really, I like the lather "pasty"..as you know....glycerin would sort it.....quite happy though...thanks.....Paul.

[@DeeDeeDanone]

That's it mate, whatever suits your own style, you certainly get good results from your technique and enjoy the process. I love my DE89, it's impossible to determine my favourite between it and the 34c, i sway each week.

[@WiltshireMan]

Looked like a nice shave Paul considering the blade was an old one. Love my Edwin Jagger. The rotcoD

[@PaulHFilms]

+Wiltshire Man It was very good, see how long it lasts....glad you like the Edwin Jagger rotcoD

[@danieljans222]

Hey Paul, great shave...but mate can't believe you continued with that bit of lather on your eye lid!! Classic Thanks again....Dan

[@PaulHFilms]

+Daniel Jans I get too involved in the shave to notice....lol....makes it different i suppose....all the best Dan....Paul.

[@19bootsy68]

I have Tabac soap as well Paul...I purchased the balm as well...I wanted that negative reaction from work colleagues in the office...to my surprise I was asked what the nice smell was...I said "Tabac"...I don't think they believed me😃.

[@PaulHFilms]

+19bootsy68 LoL..yes it is one of those scents isn't it.

[@ZombieJohnny350]

hey Paul ìts funny how you had a dab of soap on your eyelid the hole shave. great video

[@PaulHFilms]

+Zombie Johnny I know, it was behind my ear last Sunday..lol.

[@Retro_Care]

thanks again, try the tabac scent cologne from turkey, most turkish shops will have them same as avin or other lemon colognes. i love my jagger too, it performs good with every blade imo. probably the cut angle is about perfect

[@PaulHFilms]

+hamdit Sounds nice the cologne version....the EJ are great aren't they....thanks and all the best....Paul.

[@jamie.777]

Paulie! Old video, but I am bored... I have about a dozen or so brushes (all kinds). most all my brushes are Semogue.. I find that the 820 is there BEST (for me). Just so soft and floppy but still enough back bone for a triple milled soap like the Tabac. I tell you the 820 gets softer and more luxirous the more you use it, Paul can you bust out the 820 on a new shave video! Gotta show some love to the Portuguese BRUSH masters!!! another excellent video Paul and remember " A 40 Year OLD PUCK OF SOAP!" :-)

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you Jamie, yes Semogue do a fine job, as you may know the 830 is one I love too.....and yes will use it in one of the next shaves......all the best and have a great weekend.....Paul.

[@rajansharmaadv]

I have seen your videos of Merkur 34c and Edwin Jagger de89, think Merkur gives better results and a bit convenient to use kindly suggest me that which razor should I buy for daily shaving, thanks.

[@PaulHFilms]

I can recommend the Edwin Jagger DE89.....very good quality, medium aggression.....many thanks :-)

[@joevining2603]

Paul,I'm not sure the availability of variety of soaps over there, but I think you'd be surprised by the slickness of some of the American artisan soaps like Soap Commander, Barrister & Mann, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements, etc. compared to creams. They're at least on par or can be more slick than creams I've used such as Proraso and TOBS. Unfortunately, I've not yet had a chance to try Tabac so I can't say one way or the other about the slickness of that soap, in particular. Great videos, as always. Happy shaving :)

[@tonymarinelli7304]

+Joe Vining All of the artisans that you mentioned, I can second that. One that should be included, Stirling Soaps, absolutely fantastic.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Joe Vining Thanks for the comment Joe, yes, those soaps sound great...nice when they are like that too...Artizan soaps tend to be better made and thought out...all the best and thanks again....Paul.

[@IORIYAGAMI32]

Wooow You Tube recommended me this video. The bathroom Washington quite different

[@rajansharmaadv]

Hello Paul, how are you, I watch your videos quite often, at present I use Merkur 37c, along with Gillette 7o'clock super platinum blades, made in India, I want to purchase a new razor can you suggest me that for daily shaving which razor from Edwin Jagger de89 and Merkur 34c should I buy, booth are available on Amazon over here in India and there is not much price difference, Thanks.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you for watching the videos :-)

[@ashi6838]

love that soap :) been using it for a year and over half left. wouldn't use the aftershave tho, i think it's a bit to strong!

[@PaulHFilms]

+Ashi Good soap isn't it....thanks and all the best....Paul.

[@owenparratt4537]

Another great video as always Paul. I'm viewing from New Zealand. As is all of New Zealand at the moment with the rugby World Cup over your way, Are you a welsh supporter? I hope so. Anyway keep up the good work, I always tune each week, really enjoy your channel. And go the All Blacks of New Zealand

[@PaulHFilms]

+Owen Parratt Thanks very much, yes a Welsh supporter...enjoy New Sealand...all the best....Paul.

[@RealTalkThomas]

That lather looks very thick. You may get even better shaves by adding more water to the brush as you're lathering on your face. To each their own!

[@PaulHFilms]

I have always liked a thicker lather, but thanks :-)

[@cariza5]

Paul talking about DE Razor blades ... the best and longest lasting blades ever made were Personna 74 made with Tungsten steel which could give you around 50 shaves on 1 blade and there is a guy on KZbin that got over 100 shaves on a Personna 74 , personna stopped using Tungsten as they were making a loss as those blades lasted for ages and can still be bought on ebay , i got exactly 15 shaves from a single ASCO orange blade as the ASCO is made in Egypt by Lord and are amazing and also last ages and they are cheap on ebay , i was amazed at the number of shaves as my Wilkinson sword lasted me around 3 shaves , the Supermax Stainless blades i have are in bad condition as bad Qaulity control , have you ever used treet blades from Pakistan , i am realy loving my Parker 65R which is a heavy weight and only cost me £17.99 inc P&P but many nickname it a Wisker cutter and i can see why .. honest far better than my EJ DE89. John Hallock = Mad Scientist of Wet Shaving rates the Parker 65R very high , i say its Amazing , keep up the great vids and that Tabac soap is a excelent German Soap. Jock Stewart From Glasgow.

[@PaulHFilms]

+cariza5 Thank you Jock, those Personna 74 sounds very good.....I have used treet blades, and they performed very well for me too....must use them again some time...Parker are very under estimated razors in my opinion, good razors indeed...all the best Jock and thanks....Paul.

[@cariza5]

yep but Personna stopped using tungsten as they were not making money , the same way Gillette stopped making classic DE Razors. Jock Stewart From Glasgow.

[@nevermore311]

Paul, I finally splurged a bit and got myself a British classic: a Simpsons badger brush. I got the little Berkeley model for about $50 USD, but it's very effective for it size and has a surprising amount of backbone! I know you like your boars, but you dabbled with Simpsons at all?

[@PaulHFilms]

+Evan R Excellent, good brushes, yes I have a Simpson X2L "Colonel" Best Badger...fantastic quality brush...hope you have many great shaves with your Berkley...Paul.

[@thompel69]

Paul good morning from Saint Petersburg,Nivea cream for men, can be used and as presave cream?

[@PaulHFilms]

Hello Thomas, I have not tried it as a pre shave, but it may work, would certainly leave a slickness on the face before the shave anyway.

[@Musikministeren]

is the Lord razor more agressive then the EJDE89...???

[@PaulHFilms]

No it's not more aggressive.

[@Musikministeren]

+PaulHFilms Okay thx Paul

[@WOLFMAN2975]

Hey Paul : ) If you strop your blade on a piece of leather/strop after your towel a few times each side each side ; ) your shaves will feel like you're shaving with a new blade. Have a Wonderful week. : ) Tyler

[@PaulHFilms]

+Tyler Murphy Yes good idea....see how long this lasts...very impressed so far...all the best Tyler....Paul.

[@jimbob2676]

i bought a pack of derby extra blades and seen sticky glue stuff on each blade that ends up on my razor , have you came across this on the derby blades.

[@PaulHFilms]

+jim bob Yes, I have seen this on many blades, I tend to use hot water and a toothbrush on it, seems to work, and a bit of soap if needed...thanks...Paul.

[@collinsm6]

Hey paul how are you? allways in positive humer what kind of smell is shaving cream i know you say classic but what does it smell like?

[@PaulHFilms]

+Michael Collins It smells quite woody and old barber shop to me anyway....very nice indeed...all the best ....Paul.

[@dalriada842]

+PaulHFilms I've been dithering over trying this one for a while. Reviewers say it's great, but the name puts me off. Does it smell like tobacco, because I find that off-putting?

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Paul - I've read members rave about Tabac soap on the shaving forums. I noticed that once you load the brush, you apply it directly to the face. I've seen other videos where once the brush is loaded, a few drops of water is added to a separate bowl or mug, and then it's worked into a lather from there, with a drop or two of glycerin added if necessary. Is it just a matter of personal preference? In regard to those Personnas, the Personna blade issue is incredibly confusing. I'm looking forward to a video where you compare them to the Personna Medical Prep blade. Just a note regarding aftershaves. Pak Cosemetics has a bunch of stores in the UK and they sell a great variety of GLASS bottles of Brut aftershave, cologne and EDT that we can't get here in the USA, at a reasonable price of about £3.00. Take a look at the four pages of products here: www.pakcosmetics.com/search/brut I would like to compare them to the US versions, but the one I think you really should try and the one that's highly recommended by Joe from Queens (Briarwood 138) is Brut Dominant. He mentioned it in one of his videos and it's become one of my favorites. It's very different than anything Brut has ever released and smells like a much more expensive brand. Unfortunately, it can only be had for a reasonable price online at a few sites in the USA. www.walgreens.com/store/c/brut-dominant-cologne/ID=prod6207000-product www.drugstore.com/brut-dominant-cologne/qxp491658?catid=88142 Very favorable thread about Brut Dominant here: www.basenotes.net/threads/325663-New-Brut-Dominant Looking forward to the Sunday shave. I'm sure you and your team of writers are preparing the production at this moment.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Shave- a-thon Thanks for your input and information yet again, always helpful...and the links too....yes I have just been handed the script for tomorrows shave, so I must get all the shaving equipment and products ready now....all the best and thanks again....Paul.:-)

[@wtre428476]

Hi,Paul..I use cella in the block form...and this leaves a slick film that is enough to do the pick ups with out relather ...I have tons of soap pucks and creams...but always come back to the Block..and my DE8911...with Darby Blades...3 passes and never a nick....My magic Combo...Every day

nothing smells as great as Tabac. Hey try coconut oil instead of your Nivea men. it's great skin cream IMO :) I bet the women love your smell... I find Tabac to draw many compliments!

[@PaulHFilms]

+ANT T It is a classic Tabac, good soap and aftershave, yet the scent is not one of my favourites funny enough, love coconut, fantastic...thanks and all the best...Paul.

I am a 30 year entertainment veteran and I must say, I would love to have my own shave channel, however, if I did something like this in my home, my wife would think I was more nuts than now and REALLY yell at me and say I was mad.

[@PaulHFilms]

+Tony Marinelli This did make me laugh Tony....my wife thinks I'm nuts and mad anyway...lol.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

[@andreev.andrey13]

You always have a dry lather. Give some water.

[@PaulHFilms]

I prefer it thicker to wet.....but thanks.....Paul.

[@9897samf]

I personally don't push my DE blades past 2 or 3 shaves. There so damn cheap anyways.

[@PaulHFilms]

+9897samf Very true that, I just like to try them out of interest really...thanks.....Paul.

First! haha
