I love my vintage tech razors. They're so forgiving and provide an excellent shave that's both close and comfortable. I haven't tried all the available blades but my favorite so far is pol-silver.

A brush test comparison would be an interesting video (synthetic vs boar vs badger vs horse). To see what gives a better lather with hard vs soft soaps, what you think feels better on your face, etc.

Thanks for the video. You and I are around the same "vintage". (1962 here). I just bought a 1962 tech and 1951 tech. The 1951 tech is in almost new condition in the original case. I can't wait to shave with that one. Love your videos man!

Hi Ken, i found your channel about a month ago on the advise of someone in the wet shave society on Facebook and i have to say ive enjoyed your videos. I have been shaving my head for ten plus years with a 40s tech i got off ebay $20 and restored. I always loved the shave from it but recently updated to a rockwell 6c so these videos showing side by side like this are a huge help for a "newb" like myself. Ive learned a lot from your videos since ive started wet shaving my face recently, so thanks for that. Keep up the great work sir.

I use a vintage Tech (NDC, c. 1946) for my weekend "me time" shave ritual. This video is helpful, that I hadn't considered that many modern 3-pieces would be knock-offs of those old war horses. If mine ever does break, I can consider a replacement without ~70 years of prior wear on it.

That's an unusual angle you used with the Vintage Tech, but as I watch more and more videos from you and other community members, I learn that the angle is subjective. It seems to boil down to the usual YMMV hehe. I have a Gillette Tech Fat handle on its way to me, can't wait to use it but after this video I really want a Gillette Tech with a slim handle. It's funny how we keep buying razors even after finding one that is like... perfect. I have my Merkur 34c but I had to have a vintage gillette with butterfly doors... thenI had to have a 3 piece vintage gillett, now I want a vintage classig tech and I'm pretty sure I will "need" to have an adjustable gillette by xmas hehe, that without taking into account the lovely razors that are in the market right now (like the Muhle Rocca... OMG what a beauty) . I wish my beard grew faster and my skin healed faster so that I could shave daily xD

Just purchased 1940's gold vintage tech so looking forward to trying that. Have a vintage gold Ambassador that I'm having replated and refinished that I love as well. Also, checked into the Mers soap as I was impressed with the lather shown in your video. By chance have you or anyone following tried their Myra or Chromium soaps? Like to get feedback on those. Also impressed that they customize strength of scent so if anyone has tried the extra scent to either or both - would appreciate feedback. Ken, if your ever in Santa Fe - like to meet and buy u and the Mrs's a beer or glass of wine - maybe swap salsa recipe ideas. Take care and as always - great video.

Hey Ken! I love your shaving videos. I am a college student and was trying to find a cheaper way to shave. Now I know too much about shaving and it is much more expensive! I think I am so intrigued by everything because you get a piece of history and you feel like you went back in time everytime you shave. My real last name is Gillette but my first safety razor is a Merkur Long Handle. I feel like a traitor to my own family but I am using a Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade! I am saving up for a Black Beauty. I can't wait to shave with some quality Gillette history! Keep up the videos!!

And at the end of my 3rd pass I still wasn't satisfied with where my shave was. So I won't be using the blades any more. Lol

Hi Ken! You really got me hooked on wet shaving. I have ordered most things to get started. A Merkur 33C is on the way from Amazon UK. A 100 pack with Wilkinson/Gillette is on the way. A green Proraso pre shave cream has been ordered. But what I haven’t ordered is a brush. I’m looking at a Mühle Kosmo silvertip badger brush. The price on it is 90$ in Sweden and I wondered if you have tried it and if it’s a brush that you could recommend. Love your videos, don’t know why. Shaving isn’t very much action but I still got hooked and I’m a subscriber now. Ooh and one more thing, I think I have seen one of your videos were you say that a new razor should be sanitised before using. I have a one litre of 99,5% proof Isopropanol, spraying some of that on should kill any germs or is that overkill.

Mikael Sällström Not overkill at all. A new razor should be no issue but a used I’d clean quite . Brushes, you should look at the Semogue Owners Club Badger. About 1/2 the cost but Muhle are excellent but cost more👍👍

As I understand, the vintage tech had a better quality, especially for the guard, than these modern versions. A few questions : why do you keep water in the sink to rinse the razor, instead of letting a little tap water flow on the head to rinse it? It will be almost the same water consumption, but without hair and foam floating around in the sink (never liked that myself). Second question-why do you like the lather pretty thin or more watery for most of the time? I personally love a rich lather that provides a thick cushion.

Ken, I have a small request. You haven't shaved with Tabac in quite a while, and I just got my first stick, and on the first shave, I struggled to get a good lather. Maybe I didn't used enough soap, or there might be another hack that I don't know about. Can you please show how to get a proper lather? I think I remember you used a stick once, so it'll be cool if you can revisit that one. Thanks

And I'm using a Semogue Excelsior 830 boar brush, which I love, and I've been using it every single day for the past 3 weeks, trying to break it in real nice. Maybe I didn't use enough soap, I was in a bit of a hurry. You can check my shave here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ol6Vc4SLgK19q9k I did shave well, but the lather was thin​ and dried out pretty fast.

Hey ken I'm a new subscriber and second time commenting. Ive been working through you old videos and noticed you were using that global razor I liked the look of before. Now I understand its a replica so I now have buying options which is just great. I stopped buy a cvs last night in hopes of finding a cheap shave set or at least a brush and soap but they had none lol. I did how ever pick up some aqua velva after shave and some nutregena mens shave cream in a tube. So I got home preped for a hand lather shave and it was terrible. The cream seamed great it was so slick I couldn't hold on to any thing till I wiped my hands lol. But, I was trying a new blade I found in a local grocery store I they were generic but I remeber it said made in Israel so I was optimistic but it was all bad. Mabe it was the cream maybe it was me I am novice but I feel like it was the blades. I mean my first shave with the free Vander hagen blades and shave butter was 5000 times better than last night lol. Any way the aqua velva at the end was great 👍. I was thinking maybe of sending those blades to you to give a try after all you are much more proficient than myself so as to see if it was a rookie mistake in use of them or in buying them lol. Thanks in advance. P.S. people like comparing you to other well people so I wanted to throw in my opinion and that is you are the Bob Ross of shaving lol.

The Razorock DE1 or the Teck II would probably one of the others that would be close to a Gillette Tech (never used a Gillette Tech, so I'm only guessing). Razorock claims that the Teck II is modeled after the Gillette Tech. Oddly enough Gillette still makes a 7 O'Clock Sterling safety razor for India. It has a metal head and what looks like a plastic body. Have you ever run across it?

Ken I have a question, I've been shaving with a DE razor for a little bit now but how often should I be shaving for my skin to get use to it. It seems like every time I shave my skin, definitely near the neck area becomes a little irritated. It's not from pressing too hard or anything like that I go fairly easy and I'm using the merkuer 34c which is pretty mild.

Yash Patel Try a mild blade like Personna blue or Gillette Wilkinson sword. Go with the grain one pass until the skin gets used to it

Nathaniel Matthews My neck still gets bit. I use a milder blade and shave my neck at an angle 45 degrees with the grain on First pass. Plus sometimes I pull the skin tighter to avoid nicks👍👍💈

We have a Hammonton, here in South Jersey it’s the blueberry capital of the world!! 🥧 when I go there I always get a big ol’ blueberry pie ~P.S~ you know how most ppl say those old Gillette vintage razors have a “Story to tell” well I recently won a PIF over at “The Shave Den” Fourm and my prize was a 1932 Gillette fat handle tech (made in 🇨🇦) and a 1957 Gillette SuperSpeed (regular) and I noticed on the dang head was the name “JIM” lightly in graved!!! You can barely notice it but if u look for it you can deff see it lol!! So that being said, I notified the person that gave it to me thinking he gave me the wrong one... maybe it was his dads and his dads name was “JIM” I don’t know lol 🤷🏻‍♂️but back to “if your razor could talk thing, what would it say” mine would say Jim is an asshole use pencil ✏️ next time !!!! 💈😁👌💈 LoL idk maby “Jim” was a regular all-American middle-class type of guy . He got his use out of it and now it’s my time! Lol maby I’ll ingrave my name on the opposite side!!! (SIKKKKE) 😉👍

Great shave Ken. Your comment on becoming familiar with a razor and rushing through is a good point, and I like the fact you don't rush through with the shave, and you obviously enjoy the process. The lathering up and use of a quality razor and blade all add to the enjoyment of the shave, a large reason most people take up the wet shaving hobby.👍🏻
