Nice audio feedback from this razor !

[@BetterEveryShave]

No doubt!

Hi Eric great review and shave video! Have a great Sunday!

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, Robert. You too!

[@shavingwithpegleg3813]

Great shave and review Eric.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, Scott. Have a great week!

[@shavingfox7914]

Nice one buddy, that looks a very nice razor, I don’t think you can go far wrong with Pearl products Have a great day my friend Paul

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, Paul. Funny enough, I can say it feels a bit like the Future on the upper settings, say 4 and higher. The handle is easier to grip though, right? I'm curious but nervous at the same time about your new straight razors. I'm sure it will be fine. Have a great week my friend!

[@barbusthecompany9265]

Eric nice job Man. Have a great Sunday

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thank you! I hope you do the same.

[@jcshaves]

Great review. This is second review I’ve seen of this razor and you both pretty much came up with similar conclusions on it. Thanks for the honest review.

[@BetterEveryShave]

I appreciate the feedback and the vote of confidence. I don't mind accepting products for review but I'm going to be honest (respectful but still honest). I'm not sure if I left a comment but the slow motion snow (snow motion?) was a neat idea. I always forget that I have that feature. Have a great week!

[@jcshaves]

@@BetterEveryShave yeah I forget the snow mo too but for some reason remembered. Yes I think most viewers appreciate honest opinions not just saying everything is great just because it was sent to you. I’m sure companies do it as a free advertising but they have to take the criticism when warranted as well.

[@justlance9261]

Hey Eric, great video. That pearl sounds like a cool little razor. I may just have to take a look at what they have. Have a good one, and I will see you in the next video.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Lance! How's it going, man? Pearl has been making more budget oriented gear for a long time but they are starting to step it up with their newer razors and soaps. The Flexi and Blaze in particular are very nice. I hope you have a wonderful week!

[@justlance9261]

@@BetterEveryShave hey Eric, doing pretty good this week. I hope you have been doing good as well. Just been waiting on two mail calls to make a video; will be doing the video here in a bit. From what I understand, pearl was the maker of the old school razorock jaws. I was turned on to the Totra Blades by a subscriber that sent me some stuff a bit ago. Those are absolutely awesome blades.

[@BetterEveryShave]

They are the ones that I actually stand a chance of using 100 and needing more. I hope that everyone's can find their favorite blade. It's so nice to have something reliable.

[@TheRustyRazorOriginal]

Nice shave Eric with the Pearl razor, I'm not sure that I would enjoy a very strong scented aftershave that you used today. Nice to see you in action again. Have a great day

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, Rusty! I thought it was an interesting coincidence that you had just asked about me making a video. My ears must have been burning!

[@HendrixClassics]

Good Evening @TheRustyRazor. We are an artisan soap maker, Hendrix Classics. I'm starting a new thing where we will watch a shaving enthusiast's KZbin channel and do a random drawing from the folks who comment. The purpose being to encourage people to watch and comment on these folks videos. Congratulations, you are the current winner. Rather than telling you what the prize is, you can choose an item in the $21ish range. Let me know and I'll send it to you.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Pete, you are such a generous guy!

[@TheRustyRazorOriginal]

@Hendrix Classics Thank you very much and I'll look at the selection of soap to see 👀 what I'd enjoy.

[@soapthing]

Nice one Eric. Gotta love your attention to detail. That razor doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy personally, but I’m happy to see they’re making a high quality product that’s competitively priced. Take care now!

[@BetterEveryShave]

Not for me either however it seems reasonably popular and I've heard several people say they enjoy how it shaves. There's plenty of room for new razors, particularly affordable ones.

[@MarkTWilliams1969]

Great shave Eric, you have have made some great points of the efficacy between aggressive and mild razors take care and have a great week ahead 😀👍

[@BetterEveryShave]

Hey Mark. I end up making sense every so often, almost by mistake sometimes. 😅 Thanks for saying so. I appreciate it!

[@theinspector1]

Eric, great video! A lot of great points you have made here! GO STERLING!!

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, Inspector! I appreciate it. Stirling's products are so well done. I just got some personal care stuff like bar soap, shampoo bar, and lotion. All of them are superb. I hope you have a great week sir!

Thanks, Dave. I hope that people interested in this razor find this and get something out of it.

[@jimcosshaveden5259]

Love the review. Call it like you see it! Thanks for the info and you're time.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks! I appreciate that, especially coming from you. Have a fantastic day!

[@lastshadow9351]

Great! I like that you explained the aggressive and efficient terminology so people have a better understanding of their meaning. I have a more than couple of aggressive razors that aren't that efficient and I have couple of moderate razors that are very efficient. The funny thing I've found is that straights/shavettes don't really feel aggressive at all and I only get that feeing in some safety razors. I like the scent of Nag Shampa, but surprisingly I've never checked out Stirlings offering. Good to know that it's super strong. Not all strong scents bother me so I might have to check that one. I'm a big fan of your "commentary" shaves. I really think they're great and if I were going to do a shaving channel I'd steal that idea-borrow it.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks for the compliment! You are welcome to use the format. I think I'll eventually try a kamisori style shavette that uses an Artisan Club blade. I'm afraid of a half DE version because besides the Leaf Twig, every half DE blade razor I have used was way too harsh. Honestly, I get such good shaves now with the collection I have that there's no real need for anything else. Thanks for the comment!

[@lastshadow9351]

@@BetterEveryShave The AC shavettes are good and so are the hair shaper blade razors like the Weck. The blade really makes the difference in any of the shavettes. I'm glad you have a good collection that works great for you because in the end that's what we are trying to accomplish.

[@BetterEveryShave]

Awesome! I have looked at the Weck ones and wondered how they shave. They make a really cool sound for what it's worth. I don't have a strong desire to get into open blades at the moment but I may bug when I get there.

[@erwesthernandez7032]

Hello. Is very agressive? O not?

[@BetterEveryShave]

Hello. I personally think it is aggressive and I have seen many others say so as well. However, for people who prefer aggressive razors, it seems to be a popular choice. Hope that helps.

[@erwesthernandez7032]

@@BetterEveryShave woww thanks partner 😊 thanks for your answer and good shaves

[@unclelshaves]

Great review video Eric, Pearl are making some nicely finished razors at a reasonable price, sounds a bit on the aggressive side & heavy for me though. It seems Indian made razors are on the aggressive side.👍🤠

[@BetterEveryShave]

I agree with that so far, having tried this one, the K2, and the Flexi. I've heard good things about the Blaze so I'm hoping it's a bit milder. Have a great week!

[@randyshaves7956]

Nice review Eric. It doesn't sound as though I would enjoy the razor due to the aggressiveness. I am like you in that I like an efficient razor, but not one with a lot of blade feel. The blade forward issue was all I needed to hear as I do not like positive blade exposure on a razor. I guess that's why I love the 6s and the Yates 921M so much. They are both very efficient without the aggressiveness. Thanks for the review. It is reviews like this that help me when it comes to what to look into and what to leave alone. I believe I will leave this razor alone. 😉 Thanks again!

[@BetterEveryShave]

My pleasure, Randy. I think I got the important info out there but I had a heck of s time putting this one together. My usual editor wasn't working so I had to use other things. The good news is that it makes me realize how much I like my usual editor and now I know what else is out there. I hope you have a good week. Spend some time with your grandson!

[@okieshaver997]

Nice video and review Eric. Too bad this razor isn't necessarily for you. Very good looking razor. Nag Champa is another outstanding offering from Stirling! Great products from great people at phenomenal prices! Thank you for sharing your experience with this video!!

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, Patrick. It is well made but yeah, just a bit too aggressive. Stirling is hard to beat. I just got a bunch of their personal care stuff like bar soap, shampoo bar, and lotion. All of it is basically perfect for me and it's pretty hard to beat their prices. Have a great week!

[@hcshaves8542]

I Think I tried that once. Extreemly mild as I recall 😊 the blades I like 😅

[@BetterEveryShave]

Well, you do prefer aggressive razors from what I've seen. I assume this one would feel just about right. Have a good week my friend.

[@hcshaves8542]

@@BetterEveryShave right back at you 😃 but it was smooth that one 👌

[@avishekchakrabarty2560]

Is it safe to shave with a zamak razor whose plating is worn out ?

[@HendrixClassics]

Avishek, I would suggest against using the razor. Properly made Zamak is non toxic. However, some manufacturers put heavy metals into it. It wouldn't be comfortable for me to shave with one.

[@BetterEveryShave]

I agree with Pete. I have tried many inexpensive razors bought from local stores that did a fine job of shaving. It would be better to find one of those. Thanks for asking.

[@JMac.]

Nice shave Eric! Definitely not a razor for me, I do an ATG pass every shave and prefer to sneak up on it with mild razors. Have a great Sunday!

[@BetterEveryShave]

Thanks, JMac. I think you're right based on your recent video. It seems like we have similar taste in razors, efficient but mild. Have a great week!

[@JMac.]

@@BetterEveryShave you’re welcome! And oh most definitely, efficient but mild is a must for our sensitive skin, luckily there’s a plethora of options!

Great shave Eric 🪒 I’ll take the razor off your hands if you are willing to sell it to me. I received a bar soap sample of Nag Champa and it’s amazing 🥰👌🏾 I like strong scented soaps! Take care 🙏🏾
