Thanks for another honest review! Looks like a nice razor, but nothing about it says $95 to me…

With that said, all of our products are made in the US, all of our customer service is based in the US and we offer an unconditional lifetime guarantee.

We really believe in creating the best product we can, manufacturing it domestically, and offering top of the line customer service. All of that can be expensive but it's just what we believe!

[@notpsychoanees9389]

@highproofrazorcompany3938 but if these were a bit cheap, it would be easy for us students to get one but in my opinion, this is the best razor I've seen, and definitely it will be my favorite razor after i manage to get one

[@proofrazor]

@@notpsychoanees9389 Thanks for the feedback! They're 100% made in the US which just costs our small business more, but we completely understand the frustration!

Hello sinatra you’re like a father figure lol and me and my friend do talk about you at times in our conversations. Love your channel and love your interaction with the audience. You do not feel like a youtuber but someone i know. Anyways keep it up ! ❤

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks for the nice comment! If I can bring anyone a little bit of fun or just something to listen to, then I’ve succeeded.

[@GoldDigger545]

That prototype of the leaf is awesome where did you order it as a kickstarter? Since I watched the video I’m looking all over the internet for one.

[@RagnarokKetsu]

is the price for the product going to be reduced? its expensive atm.

[@andrewhawkins6454]

Excellent review as always. Always an honest review of whatever the product. Hope that you and your family have a fabulous week. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@BartBuzz]

I will be surprised if they can sell many of these for $135. Even the $95 kickstarter price seems a bit high. The FatGuy kickstarter was only $90 and that safety razor was a lot more complicated to make. Plus, the Twig is only $70. Speaking of the Twig, how does the High Proof shave compare with the Leaf Twig shave? I ask because I don't get a comfortable shave using my Twig.

[@SinatraLennon]

I should compare this razor and the Twig!

[@chubs2893]

If I may suggest... Put the head of the twig flat on your face and then turn it just a bit towards the blade, till you feel it! Helped my shaves with the twig by a lot. Before that they were awful because I used it like a de, put it on my face where cap, blade and baseplate meet. Just razor burn. I hope it helps you like it did help me 👍🏼

[@BartBuzz]

@@SinatraLennon I would like to see that comparison. I can't recall if you've ever shaved with a Henson DE? Personally, I prefer DEs over SEs and the Henson is mild and efficient.

[@BartBuzz]

@@chubs2893 Thanks. If that is like "riding the cap" with a DE razor, I have tried that. My problem area is shaving under my nose, After a few shaves, I decided that if I had to focus that much to get a decent shave, it wasn't worth the extra effort. I had a similar issue with the Rex Ambassador. The RA's positive blade exposure was not comfortable because I don't enjoy shaving with a lot of blade feel. That's why I like my Rockwell 6S. It is effortless to use and I never get nicks. But I will try your suggestion to see if that helps. Thanks again.

[@chubs2893]

@@BartBuzz If used like this you shouldn't have any blade feel. I think it's intended to be used like this. As de razor users we are just used to hold a razor different. Just give it a try. For me it put the twig on my favorite list, even though I like efficient de razors a lot more. 👍🏼

[@alexanderespinoza]

I fucking loved you creeping up from the bottom of the frame after the footage of you tossing the razor in your bag hahaha

[@minex2005]

they could have put a filp top on it to were the top is attached and still magnetized but you just flip it over the back to pop a blade in then pull it back over to close it

[@WilltheHam]

I always leave some on cheeks when I use a DE versus a single edge even going against the grain. I think it’s an angle thing

[@pkj77]

i hope that razor comes too a Danish website, will not be buying it from America due to insane imports fees great shaving video fun stuff. Stay safe, cheers...Peter

[@Dr.PapaRock442]

How is the finish on the black version of this razor? Are there any imperfections on the finish? Also, it is anodized right?

[@haterskeephatin101]

Tbh cartridges still give me the near bbs on neck and jawline that I just can't get with the DE that pivoting head really is awesome

[@Big_Tony_Speaks]

I'll stick with my Parker Solo Edge. I'm on a very tight fixed income. Can't afford or justify $120 for this thing. I do think it's pretty awesome, I would like love to get one, but it's not possible.

[@Callahangonefishin]

Nice shave Brother! That looked smooth. Hopefully at some point they'll ship to Canada. Have a good Monday, Cheers

I am from India and I am a great fan of single edge razors, presently I am using Leaf twig razor. Unfortunately these razors are not supplied to india. But I would be really very pleased to have this razor for me.

[@Heritage-c8v]

Hi can you tell me please what better to buy high proof single razor or twig single edge many thanks

[@williamdoll711]

I got in on the 80 dollar one. 10 more than my Twig but this pivots witch kinda intrigues me. I wish the Twig did. Love single edge and DEs but this could be a fast mindless shave for when you need one. Guess I'll find out!

[@saevans63]

Good review. For what it is the razor seems to be very expensive. I’ve got a Twig and it’s a great razor at a far more reasonable price. You can also buy an aluminium travel case for it. In any case, the Highproof is only shipped to customers in the USA so good luck to everyone in the USA that gets one on Kickstarter.

[@proofrazor]

Hi Steve! Thanks for the comment. As a quick clarifying point, we are now shipping outside the US, just send us an email at [e-mail] and we'll get you taken care of at the Kickstarter pricing.

[@normanperry9807]

How is the handle length? Only shaved twice with my new Supply Edge Pro. I’m feeling like I would have more control with a longer handle. Definitely need to get the grip sleeve

[@WolfRanger2008]

I have no criticism of this razor. My observation is: it is a design that is already in production albeit in slightly different configurations. So, it is more a variation on a theme rather being an entirely original or unique design. Your solution to place the razor in a sandwich bag is a superb remedy. Another tactic would be to simply place a rubber band around the head. I've found that razors with magnetic head attachment seem to fall victim to detachment in a drop as this also happens with the SNMIRN DE razor.

[@ИванСав-й4р]

Hello. Have silver one, its jumping on skin without lather. I think its beacause wide flat head on razor. Do you have such problem on black razor?

[@andreizuerch]

I like your videos. I've been using shave soap from caisson shaving company and there in house made blades and razor and so far I like them. Especially the soap. It would be cool if you ever got your hands on there products and hear how you think their products hold up to the competition.

[@Lemingtona-x5g]

try Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel...heard its very calming less razor burns etc

[@brucer6239]

Outstanding product!

[@johnjaworski7673]

I’ve been just using Gillette shave gel but will have to try it

[@paulbenson1610]

The twig or thorn razors would have been opened after the same rough treatment. There is no resistance to opening them. Granted the head wouldn’t separate but more likely to be damaged.

[@peterkaufmann8579]

Great razor. They'll sell tons of those at $135. Look at the Overlander, shaves like a Muhle R89 and look at the price? Good thing it's not aluminum and not pot metal like the leaf. Much better value for sure. All the peeps in our hobby that put pot metal down but own the twig or thorn, tooii funny. Great shave SL! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@proofrazor]

Thanks for the comment, Peter! Much appreciated!

[@theinspector1]

Great video, Brian! I ordered 2!!

[@ThePad549]

This looks similar to the Broman razor from a few years ago. The head was slightly too wide and made shaving under the nose difficult. Furthermore it was so mild I ended up with razor burn. I eventually sold it on. This razor will find it difficult to compete with the twig I feel.

[@proofrazor]

Hi Chris! The Twig can be a good option for sure. If you are looking for something made domestically, with a pivoting head and an unconditional lifetime guarantee, we are happy to help out! Have a great week!

[@s.garabet1677]

How does it compare to the twig? I'd like to back them but honestly, this is pretty expensive.

[@firemedic54561]

[@jackdolinger820]

Cool video. Just out of curiosity have you ever tried electric foil razors?

[@notpsychoanees9389]

i cannot wait to get enough money to get one of these or the twig. for now im on cartridge razors just because i can get a cartridge for 1$ and shave with that cartridge for a month because i dont really shave very often but still its so irritating and i get razor burns mostly. cant wait to use SE razors and make shaving comfortable

[@SinatraLennon]

Save a few dollars each week if you can. This razor is worth the wait!

[@notpsychoanees9389]

@@SinatraLennon i wish i could save some but it's not easy for a student to do so In fact, im willing to get twig as it's cheap, but that one is also out of range for now i wish there is giveaways so i could participate and get a chance to win one

Perhaps a silly question. Let’s say you are taking a flight and bring an extra blade in you dop kit in a carry on. Will that get flagged by TSA?

[@devenhunsaker9257]

Yep, all blades have to be in checked luggage. (I’ve even had my empty DE razor checked at some airports to make sure there wasn’t a blade in it).

Yeah, blades have to be checked. Sigh…

[@mattiasakemalm1412]

Sure, but why? Get a Parker 99R, Merkur Progress or whatever and start shaving. If you want it milder, get a milder blade; if you want it more aggressive, get a sharper blade. Don't build a bridge on flat ground.

Very dissapointed you didn't toss the bag out the second story window. 😁

[@SinatraLennon]

[@Tristin471]

Technically, even cartridge razors are safety razors lol. The “safety” name came from the fact that they were safe to use, compared to the old, cut-throat, straight razors.

[@pyotrberia9741]

Don't you need some weight in the handle for a razor to work properly? Popular triple blade razors often have a metal rod built into the handle to give them weight. I have a nice tradition safety razor and that is heavy.

[@proofrazor]

Hi Pyotr! Great question.. This will definitely shave more like a cartridge razor than a safety razor. As a result, you will need to apply a bit of pressure to allow the pivoting head to engage thus the reasoning for a lighter handle. Hopefully that answers your question!

[@tlong9421]

Great vid AS ALWAYS!! Thank-You. I have over a dozen DEs. Lately I've been using the Henson AL13 almost exclusively. It's mild, forgiving and shaves close with no drama.
