The SHIBUMI Shave!

Geo removes 3 days beard growth with The Goodfellas Smile Shibumi (the Original) Japanese Shavette Style Razor. This Razor uses pre-split blades or a double edge blade that you can split in half and use one side at a time. Each side is good for 3-5 shaves depending upon your beard type. This makes the razor very economical to shave with. You save $$$! First see how to split and load the blade, then TOBS OUD Shaving Cream is face lathered with the Simpsons Trafalgar T3 synthetic shaving brush. Post shave features the Shave Nation Wide-Stick Alum Block and Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus Aftershave Splash. The result is a Super baby smooth shave! Watch and follow along to see how much fun this razor is to shave with!

4:48 Geo mastered his "Ninja style Clear the Runways" technique so well that he doesn't even make a sound anymore.

[@user-fh4sl2fz3y]

I think the reason why you can see better from your left side is because you may possibly be right-eye dominant. Excellent video, as always.

[@wowgoldwing]

I love that sound. Geo was scraping some burnt toast in this one.

[@user-nw4cy9kp7x]

My first shavett razor that i basically learned with , inexpensive , and great starter razor . Gives a good shave , slim and light . I like it and still use it often , thank you Shave Nation , have a good day !

[@vangoghsseveredear]

Used your videos to learn how to shave with a straight razor years ago. I still do it to this day. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks!

[@Hudayinabit]

same here Thats why am greatful so much

[@geofatboy]

Thanks so much for stopping by. I actually remember your thumbnail pic from back in the day.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks!

[@Bionicycle]

You kind of touched on something with the "I can see better on my left side" comment that keeps me from trying a straight razor. I've been blind in my right eye since about age 5 and even with a D.E. safety razor it takes great effort for me to see the right side of my face while shaving; even with two mirrors. That... and I'm on blood thinners so my wife would think I've gone nuts for trying. 😁 Enjoyed the video, now I need to go shave off my 4 O'clock shadow. William C. central Indiana.

Shibumi is a Japanese word that loosely translates to 'effortless perfection'. Anything that is Shibumi is quiet in refinement, noble and fulfilling in a manner that is not shaped exclusively by analytical thought.

[@xtxt9135]

He's the sultan of shaving.

[@izumionozaki6448]

渋み😂 It sounds like the expression word for Japanese green tea. But I think this "SHIBUMI"would be used for professional technique like for a veteran. Stretching skin is the key when we use a Kamisori. And flat surface will lead your shaving smoother, I bet as a barber💈 Beautiful shaving, Geo👍👏

[@kostasintzes9958]

What to not love in this video? Seeing my patriot geofatboy handling this beast like a champ and simultaneously giving advice on how to perform a smooth shave with the Shibumi. It seems easy but it's not. The finish with the proraso green aftershave lotion, my very first lotion while starting WS before 4 years and my all time favorite. Macho summer barbershop scent the other favorite macho winter barbershop scent is the floid genuine. Also love the proraso sandalwood. Thanks 🙏

[@troypower]

Another amazing video GIO!! Absolutely love my Feather SS Japanese style, this one is next on my radar!

[@CherylCasaSep]

~One Of My First Shavette, That I Purchased, For My Headshaves.. A While Back Ago Nice Razor To Use, It Gives Me A Very Close Headshave. I'm Not Impress With The Ability To Be Abled To Clean It, But A Nice Razor Regardless. A Very Cost Effective Razor To See If Shavettes Are Your Way To Shave. I'm Still Enjoying The SS Feather That I Brought From Your Store. So Far My Favorite Shavette For Headshave. Excellent On Your Customer Service & Packaging.

[@djchubbsShaving]

Very nice shave !!!!!

[@ianmayer2951]

Shibui (渋い) (adjective), shibumi (渋み) (noun), or shibusa (渋さ) (noun)are Japanese words which refer to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty. Like other Japanese aesthetic terms, such as iki and wabi-sabi, shibui can apply to a wide variety of subjects, not just art or fashion.From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibui

[@markm0000]

Ow yeah this is exactly what I wanted out of shaving. The perfect mix of old and new technology.

Anyone can. It takes practice.

[@TheDeaconShaves]

Great shave Geo. I have mine still in the box. Just needed a little info on a shave technique with this one. Thanks !! Have a great day and smooth shaves

[@markm0000]

Did you try it?

[@TheDeaconShaves]

I will this Saturday

[@10floz30minutes]

Here is a comparative observation: You wondering out loud for us if that plastic handle would be too slippery including with wet fingers. The plastic bags for fruits and veg's in the grocery stores are too slippery to open until you get a small amount of moisture on some fingers and then the added wetness allows the fingers to grip the bag opening sheets to easily open the bag. Maybe the same thing happens with that razor's handle.

[@clvyboipvrti8523]

Man ive tried everything to keep from getting ingrown hairs and razor burn but i just cant get away from it. I feel like a kid using a gilette one blade but its the only thing that gets a close shave and doesnt hurt me later. Straight razors look super satisfying but i think it will just do the same thing.

[@sanchezking6188]

I have this exact razor. It’s comfortable to hold, handle and maneuver. But the blade insertion is a pain to be honest. It is very lightweight and while that’s good for fatigue, it loses some power and does struggle to go through heavy growth even using a Feather. Especially for its price it is a nice item to have and a overall capable razor for general use with some drawbacks.

[@markm0000]

I’ve read online it can start rusting? Is that true? I think about soaking it in oil.

[@markm0000]

I always strop my razor blades along my arm hair and it keeps the blade sharp for a very long time. I do it out of habit before and after every shave.

[@geofatboy]

Interesting...

[@spanishman3349]

No swoshing sound when you cleared the runways?!

[@alexandermarquardt597]

Never saw anything like that, and I agree: it is fun to say Shibumi :)

[@briansimpson4310]

Geo, you committed a shibubu by forgetting the sound effects while clearing the runways. I always look forward to that on your videos.

[@michealbenanti2665]

I love this razor and use it quite often. As always, great shave man!

[@Dan-ot2ry]

Hey Geo, great video as always, I have a question, what is the product you use after every shave to seal your skin? Thank you

[@quintonrichards4805]

Any shaving techniques you’re still “working up to?”

[@ManosRK]

I sold mine (and bought a Bluebeard's Revenge one) just after a couple of shaves for less than half the price I bought it and then the guy I sold it to, sold it again almost immediately!!!!! 😂 It's a good tool: good quality, extremely easy to use even for your first one (as it was mine too). Way easier than a shavette that folds etc. BUT the way you load the half blade needs to be redesigned for real! It's so unnecessarily difficult, dare I say an accident waiting to happen!!!! Maybe it was just mine but the tabs were way too tight.

[@ManosRK]

Oh, and Shibumi (which is what is written on it, I suppose, like you 😂 ) is the Japanese word for "astringency", that's what Google says anyway 😛

[@mrmasher1126]

Yep, can support that statement with my TGS Abysos. Same loading mechanic but the tolerance are really questionable, need to adjust alignment with the razor blade box.

[@ChessterFritz]

Shibumi, Shibumi, the razor's hard to get.

[@walterplinge6152]

YOU'RE THE BIGGEST PIA ON KZbin NEXT TO Mark Szorady!

[@terrym1065]

Nice! Good job there Geo🪒💈 I have a hard time with the XTG pass, the other two passes are fine. Of course using a paint scraping blade glued to a pop-sickle stick could have something to do with it....

[@user-zb2ux2gc2l]

While I have no idea what the Kanji says on the Shibumi shavette, I wouldn't be surprised if it says The Goodfellas Smile. Kanji characters are very complex, and sometimes a single character can convey more information than you realize.

[@righteousredneck777]

Geo,great video as always. I came across a video talking about how hanging a brush upside down (proper way) does NOT allow for proper evaporation of water and that the bristles will not properly dry with the bristles hanging down. The point of hanging is to maintain the knot integrity. Might be a good video idea..just to hit on the importance of this. Even if you Google "why Not to hang a shave brush Upside down" you will see the same spill on how evaporation goes Up and not down and how hanging a brush on a stand will not allow the remaining water to evaporate off and that the brush will not fully dry. I just got a Simpsons T3 from Shave Nation,love the brush and I'm not about to ruin the knot. Lol..This idea about proper evaporation is quite funny in my opinion. It's like saying that if we wash our Hair and then hang from our ankles...that our hair will not dry. LoL

[@ManosRK]

Won't the glue melt away though with all that water pooling on the base ?!...The (stupid) things you read on the Internet! 😆

[@brooklynproduction]

too much moves with blade and high price for Chinese shavette 10x I think a couple dollars on Ali )))) and funny part - shave ))))
