The Ritual of Shaving

A guide to making a ritual out of shaving, using a traditional badger brush and shaving cream as well as other men's grooming products, using Patrick Bateman's morning routine as inspiration in the wonderful surroundings of the 'Apartment' penthouse suite of the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, London.

Absolutely superb and time for Acqua di Parma to release a double edge razor. And sad that T&H Highgrove line is not for sale here in the US. Kind Regards from Utah and thank you for your stellar work withThe Rake.

Pro tip from our man Kirby across the pond, when applying cream to your brush turn the cream upside down onto the brush to prevent any water getting in your cream

What a superb video, very relaxing just watching it, a therapy in itself. I'm a big fan of Floris No 89 too, and, like yourself, I have multiple scents. I'm a big fan of Terre d'Hermes too. Very impressed with the balanced diet 😄

[@alexcavill1986]

Love the balanced diet and vigorous exercise 😂

I need tips from you

[@markfowler5612]

Perhaps a video on crunch technique?!

[@barrywa39]

Tom, I forgot to ask. What is the Santa Maria Novella scent at 2' 43''?

[@sarimento1]

Bravo! Very impressed with the hotel suite! £16,800 per night, eh?!

2.18 tegen de haargroei in scheren?

No DE razor?

[@aashutosh9285]

Exactly 🤣🤣 After all the expensive creams and lotions, a badger hair brush and and a trufit bowl, the last thing I was expecting was a cartridge razor 😭🤣

Самый крутой аромат у Floris это Honey Oud! В Москве его не купить, но при случае всегда его покупаю в Англии

[@s.b.9059]

[@haydensmith888]

Patrick Chamberlin 😂

[@bastiaanstapelberg9018]

Bijzonder dat het geen huid-irritatie geeft

[@vidaurreta]

Disappointed there wasn’t any nudity…

Remember, If your dad doesn't have a beard, you have two mums

[@yargoldberg1829]

why shave when you can be a bearded man

[@tfchamberlin]

I can’t be a bearded man. I grow such a terrible beard that I must shave.

[@herbtube7824]

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should, Sir.

[@evaoldman4358]

Such a shame that this gentleman uses shaving brush, cream and bowl but a cheap plastic razor ruins all these effort. Maybe it's time to buy a classy T-razor? One from Muhle or Rockwell might me a good choice.

[@JosephRocco-mi4cm]

Maybe he likes cartridge razors. And, there's nothing cheap about that razor.
