[@DouglasSmythe]

Wow...there a few good reviewers out there but YOU Mark, are the best!!! I’m not just saying that either because you enjoyed the products, but because you are extremely thorough and do the research. I feel like you know the product as well as me by the time i am done watching. THIS is exactly the kind of insight the shave world needs. Bravo my friend and again, Amazing job!

[@MarkSzorady]

Douglas, thank you.:) You and Fran make some amazing and wonderful wet shaving products It's a real pleasure sharing them with others.:)

[@joaonevessantos]

Love the sheer enthusiasm :) What a shave Mark.

[@Earl2700]

This video made me want buy the soap and the brush, and I did! Wow, I can't wait! Amazing video once again, sir.

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, Rommel Alcobendas.:) Thanks so much for th ekind words.:) Regarding the soap and brush, you are going to love both!:) It's been several days since I did this video and for each morning shave, I keep reaching for this brush and soap.:) Great, great stuff!:)

[@madridberlinidiomas3208]

Hi Rommel. Are you living in Madrid?

[@IvanKaz1]

I just got a tub of the Future Fiction CK6 soap and an Atomic Rocket brush. All I can say is I believe my search for a good soap is over. You weren't lying about the lather. The lather I got from this soap was absolutely incredible. I originally ordered the original formula but after watching this video I contacted Phoenix Shaving and they were able to change the order. I am incredibly happy with that decision. Thank you for the great video.

[@elmini81sm]

All these products look super fun!

[@israelburciaga7966]

I just bought this safety razor and is on its way to my house from Phoenix. Is this safety razor good for touching up my goatee? Or will a close bar will do better? Thanks!

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

I have the CaD starter kit and it is marvelous Comes with everything you need for a traditional wet shave

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, She Shaves with Jill. This is wonderful to hear.:) Marvelous is the correct word, for sure.:)

[@leehaseley2164]

Yet another great shave, Mark. That new brush is without a doubt the single most beautiful shaving brush I have ever seen or am ever likely to see!

[@Andrew-nx9jr]

Looks very soft. My only synthetic I’ve tried was too stiff and made face lathering difficult, and not especially comfortable. Looks like these bristles splay very easily. Looks comfy!

[@ddcarnley]

Love your passion my friend. Your enthusiasm is what led me to subscribe.

[@santaclaus179]

so scent of soap is wonderful

[@lewisge53]

Great video, Mark! Absolutely LOVE the products Douglas and Fran put out at PAA!

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, Gary.:) Absolutely agree!:) Love PAA shaving gear.:) Really looking forward to my next shave with Future fiction shave soap and the Atomic Rocket or Peregrino shaving brush.:) The Doc razor has also been a really nice performer.:) Great stuff!:)

[@lewisge53]

Mark Szorady ... my daily driver has become their Copper Ascension Twist Adjustable DOC. Really nice weight. Best buffing razor, IMHO. That Peregrino brush has also become a favorite of mine. Love your videos!

[@Biber0315]

Great looking brush, but what's with that black line going through the green acrylic?

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, Biber0315. The dark line appears to be part of the logo art on the bottom of the handle. At least, this is the way it's always impressed me. I'll have to give it a closer look because, to me, it's never looked out of place.

[@Shaverboy516]

Wow Mark, you could hardly contain that lather from the tub!!! Very nice, love the boxes and the marketing from Phoenix, I’ll be getting that brush soon:)

[@akashicfibers8205]

Everything about Dougs' art and marketing is the absolute best. He has made a universe for all the PAA products. the scents, stories, names, history, art, marketing.. NO ONE else does what he does. I fucking love it.

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Mark- Great shave and soap/brush review; thank you! I can’t agree with you more about the PAA products- the CK-6 formula was definitely a game-changer! I hope you have a great Sunday. Be safe and be well and best regards, as always, Mark!

[@MarkSzorady]

Thanks, Mike.:) Yes, regarding formula CK-6, "game-changer" is the right word!:) Stay safe and have a great week.:)

[@nydieselinfl]

Good shave Mark!! I knew you'd love their products!!! CK-6 in my eyes is one of the top 3 soap bases out there in the shave world. The lather it builds, the sheen it has, and the protection bit offers are spectacular. Plus the post shave feel is wonderful. I just used Gondolier a few days ago for the head and face shave, and it was a spectacular shave experience. PAA has so many fantastic products, you'll never run out of things to choose from. Have a great day!!!

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, NY Diesel in Fl.:) Agree on al l points especially post shave feel.:) Extraordinary.:)

[@nydieselinfl]

@@MarkSzorady you should also try the grinder on the head shave with your favorite soap. My goodness it feels great!!! I'm in Florida, so it's always humid and hot here. This instantly cools you down, and it actually makes the shave experience that much better. Who ever thought a soap like Tabac would have metholated crystals in it? Well, now you have that power!!!

[@MarkSzorady]

@@nydieselinfl Thanks! Great, great idea!:) I recently used the Chill Mill for the first ime and it's terrific!:) Video coming soon!:)

[@rjwrightrw30]

Hey Mark. I just got my Perigrino brush and a tub of their Atomic Age Bay Rum soap, CK1 formula. Thank you for the recommendation on the brush and soaps. The brush is a lathering beast and feels great on the face. The bay rum scent has a soothing, heady scent to it. I love it. And given the PAA sci-fi themed products, I used my '57 Flair Tip razor while listening to some retro sci-fi sound tracks. Great time in the shave den. Have a great weekend.

[@jamesdaigle8690]

I’ll have to try face-lathering with this model, I normally make my all lather in a bowl, but I should be proficient with both. Thanks for this video Mark, I’ll practice with it and my own Peregrino till I get it down pat!

[@griff4899]

I had the same thoughts about future fiction CK 6 formula. The slickness is beyond great. The lather is so thick and protective that I never cut myself while using it. Also the scent is like a nutty, woody apple pie. Absolutely delicious and complex. I have a few after shave samples, their travel scuttle, solar flare brush, and some other soaps coming for my birthday next Sunday so I'm very excited. PAA really has a nice product selection.

[@MarkSzorady]

Agree, griff.:) Formula CK-6 has a great protective barier and some excllent slickness.:) I'm a fan!:) The Solar Flare brush defintley caught my eye.:) Early birthday wishes and enjoy the new gear!:)

[@DE_Razor_Shaving]

CK-6 is sooo buttery smooth good! Lolll. Future Fiction is a good scent too! The nickle plated DOC was my 1st razor i bought from PAA. Really mild razor that work's good with a sharp blade. Even with a feather it's smooth. Oh! I got my Rainbow blades in the mail yesterday. Gonna give them a try in a few day's. 😁👍🏼💈

[@hoonshaver3047]

My final brush choice was Peregrino! And with it, I purchased Droid Black bundle, samples of Future Fiction & Cavendish. All were gorgeous scent soaps! Because of new knot, I decided Peregrino and it was excellent. Enough long handle & soft & rich knot, though a bit chubby handle. Future Fiction seems to me similar to Stirling Sandpiper & YSL La Nuit d'Homme fragrance scent vibe. What do you think the meaning of the Future Fiction soap label cartoon artwork? I'm curious.

[@MarkSzorady]

Honn, Future Fiction was the very first PAA shave soap I tried. From that moment on, I was hooked. The artwork is fantastic, and I definitely connected to it. It certainly has the same look and feel of the Bucks Rogers and Flash Gordon comics from the 1930 and 1940s. Those cartoon characters and comics really influenced my childhood. Although they were introduced long before Iwas born, they've come back time and again for new generations in comics, movies, books, video games, etc. In particular, I love thestyle of the Future fiction label because it harkens back to the origin days of these iconic sci-fi characters. The artwork also has the same look as the classic Superman animated movies from the 1940s produced by the Fleischer brothers' animation studio. Here's one of those animated shorts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3rIcoSvjN90mKs Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLhGipfv0juZWw5lM_NyhY1n32UXVSn37Q

[@hoonshaver3047]

@@MarkSzorady Thank you so much Mark for your kind explanation! Though I'm Korean wet-shave youtuber, I wanted to understand & introduce the authentic culture background like this to Korean wet-shave community. In my childhood, every weekend joy was watching Hollywood cinemas & comics like Popeye the Sailor, Superman, Batman, Tom & Jerry, Woodpecker etc. Understanding American culture background like Star Wars is interesting & very informative. Nowadays a big miracle to me is happening like Korean culture shares with American & worldwide people like Squid Game, Parasite, Minari, BTS etc. Thanks to you, I'm gonna be into Superman comics. I'll use your information about this Future Fiction background when I review this soap shave in Korean. Thanks a lot again! Have a wonderful day, Mark!

[@madridberlinidiomas3208]

Hi Mark. My question.... I wonder if you can produce the same lather / feeling with a Yaqui synthetic brush . Thank you

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, Madrid Berlín Idiomas. I have several Yaqi shavesynthetic brushes and they whip up a wonderful lather.:) The Yaqi 30MM is a favorite for head shaves due to the large knot and generous coverage it has.

[@madridberlinidiomas3208]

Mark Szorady Thank you. I have checked out and the Peregrino costs us (Spaniards) an arm and a leg, for we have to pay 30 € for its shipping... which makes it unreasonable

[@alexarmstrong4188]

I really want to try some CK-6 now lol I’m just afraid it’s going to irritate my skin due to all of the exotic ingredients. But can’t know unless you try it, maybe next time.

[@lolcanoe2472]

I doubt it will do anything. I deal with a lot of chemicals at work and wear a helmet a lot. My face and neck used to get irritated a lot but hasn't since I switched to this stuff.

[@talega1]

Nice vid. I do shave head and face at once, and need enough lather for 3 pases in each area (i do NOT reload soap ever). BTW those double comb razors are good for pasty lathers as they hold water and will hydrate/dilute such lathers and optimize glide. Cheers

[@lolcanoe2472]

I've been a CK6 user since right after it came out. Watching you load the brush and was thinking "oh no, he's going to have enough lather for next week!" The stuff seems to love water btw.

[@MarkSzorady]

Agree, Lolcanoe 2.:) Absolutely spot on.:) CK-6 makes heaps of lather! I now swirl a bit less and still get a huge heap of lather! The puck is going to last a long, long time.:) Yes, it likes water, but that's a bonus. A splash of water between passes and the soap lights up again! As I mentioned to another viewer, I have other soaps but keep reaching for the CK-6.:)

[@massimoalicata1965]

Ciao Mark,guardando questo video mi è venuta voglia di acquistare questo rasoio Phoenix,volevo dirti è molto aggressivo?le lamette rainbow non c'è l'ho,sono affilate?🤗

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, Massimo. the razor isn't overly aggressive. However, the double comb has a function to gather a bit of lather so you can go over an area again without having to re-lather with a brush. I tried using the vintage model this way and developed some irritation. With the Doc from PAA, I use it like any other razor and get some great shaves!:)

[@MrUncleLS]

Very nice brush, love the shape and colouring. Unfortunately the PAA CK-6 soaps are a bit out my price range once I get them to my door, but I love PAA's range of soaps and other gear.

Great shave Mark! Have you considered trying Terrorade by Barrister & Mann? It’s about 9 bucks - its a menthol alternative - comes with a dropper - it’s odorless - all the benefits of the menthol crystals without the menthol smell. Anyway - stay safe and have a fantastic day!

[@achimkohlhage1328]

Mar4rk, what a stunning brush, must have... Unfortunately I cant buy fm Phoenix Artisan, they charge $35 shipping to Singapore. Had lengthy conversations with Douglas, but no way. Other vendors can ship at $4 to 8, so I'm speechless. Can I buy this brush somewhere else?

Hi, Achim. I'm unaware of other outlets. I'l keep looking though.

[@achimkohlhage1328]

@@MarkSzorady Tks Mark. I find this Phoenix Co advanced, productswise (Cube etc) but not focused on overseas. A dilemma, why they so afraid to speak to USPS, they seem to be flexible... Other vendors like WCS, Maggards can do. Matt of Razor Emporium seem Douglas partner, he's one of the most flexible man on the planet.

[@DouglasSmythe]

Achim Kohlhage hey brother! Sorry about the shipping cost but we only ship Priority there due to many lost packages that we have had to replace. As a small artisan we can’t afford to continually replace shipments. Those other companies you mention are a lot bigger than us and can afford to offer shipping deals. Again, we are just a little guy! However, if you are willing to accept the risk, we will gladly ship to you first class my friend! I look forward to hearing from you Achim! Shave on!
