We Tested Whiskey Razor Against Gillette Here's the Verdict!

I was excited for this review. First of all, I was very impressed that you remembered my comment about it 7 months ago and took the time to go back and reply that the review was coming. Secondly, When I made the switch from a Gillette cartridge razor to a safety razor back in Feb, like you said, it was intimidating, and for me came down to the Proof Whiskey and the Leaf Twig. I am glad to see the Whiskey exceeded your expectations and impressed. I did end up going with the Twig at the time thanks to your reviews and I have no regrets. It's been a great shave and entry into the safety razor arena. I am currently partnering it with the India Astra blades as I could not get my hands on the Russian blades, but I think the mildness of the Twig compliments the blade well. If your curious and still have some laying around, I suggest giving it a shot. I may just be improving, but I have yet to nick/cut myself with this combo (knock on wood). Best part, it's about 0.04¢ per snapped blade and I get 2-3 comfortable shaves from each blade. Even if I did 1 shave per, 0.04¢ is way better than $3.00+ a cartridge. My only concerns I had with the Whiskey were losing the magnetic head and the spring wearing/popping out or getting rusty (I believe the first gen was magnetic). Other than that, it looks like a great transition option. Another Great [made in USA 🙂] Review, Thank You!!

[@OhioShaves]

I think it would be awesome for head shaving! If you don't like 3 blades when head shaving, this is definitely your razor

[@Joekewl025]

Your videos are awesome, because I watched your videos, i learned to upgrade my shaving technique. I used to buy the Gillette Mach 3's, they were very expensive and I used to do just like you did keep using it over and over to stretch it out as long as they can go which led the irritation because it was dull. Then I bought a cheap double edge razor Van Der Hagen and never went back to disposables again. I upgraded to a Merkur 38c barber pole, have used it for a long time. I bought a Rockwell 6C, and also a murker Futur which I use sometime when I feel daring. I bought Thayers witch hazel and alum bar to finish up my routine and the Thayers is awesome, cool and refreshing and moisturizing. Keep up the great vids.

This razor has been a game changer for me for head shaves. I made the switch to DE blades for shaving a couple of years ago and I have mastered using them on my face, but I have struggled to fully convert for shaving my head. I’ve tried most of the competitors (34c, Rockwell 6c, leaf razor, leaf twig, Henson) but none have given me the ability to shave my head with the ease of this proof razor. I would highly recommend this for those who shave their head .

One of the advantages of a double edge blade is not having to wash out the razor as often. The only razor I own that is single edge is my Alpha Spirit AC razor. It's advantage is the length of the blade. Yes you have to wash more often but the job is done faster. If I was just starting out that razor might be a good option. Not at this stage though. It might make a good head shaver though. Good video. Hope you are healing fast. Cheers- Kevin

Now I want to drop like 400+ on some Timeless, and want a bunch of other stuff. Here we go! Haha. I also live in Ohio, close to Wadsworth…so I will support Timeless. They make awesome stuff. I am also a CNC machinist, so I HATE the MIM markings on some of the razors’ bottom plates…so I love the fact they (Timeless) use an EDM to cut their heads/caps…pretty impressive. I just got my Proof in the mail today, got a head and a face shave in. I like it, but I already want a bunch of other stuff. Ordered some soap and a brush, and a few other items…can’t wait to play with all this stuff. Glad to be a part of the channel. Love the channel my man!

With regards to the 'making the switch' at the end, I think a good video would be a 'if you want to use the Proof, here's a good budget brush, soap, blade, alum and post shave' kit that could make a good starter kit. I know there are 'cheaper' razors available, but as you reference this is a perfect transition from the products of today to wet shaving.

This Whiskey razor is on another level compared to oneblade, at least for me. I struggled with the one blade. No learning incurred with this one. Straight running gun baby. I was really impressed. Those two razors are in my top razors. The titanium 95 open comb is probably my favorite Razor right now. It shaves so well. As for the Rockwell, it just rock 'n' roll baby. Healing well still have a slight infection that I'm gonna be dealing with for a while. Now I'm on oral medication which is nice.

[@66racer]

@OhioShaves presume you meant no problem?

[@rangiz99]

i have both proof razors. They work much better with a sharp blade in it. While the head doesn't come off with the new one, i wish they made it out of something heavier. To me because of the aluminum, you definitely have to press to engage the head. If it was heavier (steel or some other heavier in the material in the body) with the built in angle, the head should automatically engage and you wouldn't need to remember to engage it when shaving. The only drawback with me is that even though it is scalloped it occasionally drags to the point where it would nick me.

[@OhioShaves]

I will pass that along to the manufacturer

[@rangiz99]

@@OhioShaves Because of the small gap, I've had to make multiple passes to remove growth especially if I didn't shave for a few days. The holder also boosts as a stand for the razor as well vs pinching the head and leaving it horizontal.

[@Joekewl025]

Razor looks like a good one for someone who uses disposable razors trying to make the switch to a DE razor. The pivoting head makes it easy for someone to always have the correct angle shaving without needing to hold the correct angle with a double edge blade. The only thing that makes me nervous is how much pressure you are using to get the razor to cut your beard. If you use that much pressure using a regular double edge razor or a Futur it would turn out very bad. But the razor looks impressive and easy to use for a beginner.

[@OhioShaves]

You're right! The pivoting head definitely helps with the angle, making it more user-friendly for those transitioning from disposables. It's important to find the right balance of pressure, though. Practice makes perfect!

[@mattmohi970]

Seems like a brief stopping point for those coming from cartridge razors before they go to a DE or Twig/Thorn. Pivoting heads seem to struggle with lots of growth. Probably a better test would be a day or two growth in terms of how hard you have to press.

[@OhioShaves]

it went right through seven days of growth, which in my opinion is phenomenal

[@OhioShaves]

Open comb. I love it on both face and head shaves. It has zero blade feel and removes little or a lot of growth. The balance of the razor is different than any other blade out there. The shaving experience is so unique compared to others out here as well.

[@Ross.Bagatski]

This razor looks great! The pivoting head here could make the process of transitioning from cartridge razors easier because there is no need for major change of shaving technique. But there is one structural point, not a flaw, but rather a point to keep in mind. Neodymium magnets don't like heat. And some like it hot. Not the magnets, but the blades. I, personally, prefer it cold, but some people like to have a warm or hot razor on their skin. So, how hot is water in your hot water tap? And what grade are those magnets? Because low grade magnets have working temperature of 80 C. When subjected to higher temperatures, they loose their magnetic power, meaning in several years the magnets won't hold the cover as good as they used to in the beginning. I have hot water coming from my boiler at 80 C. So, I woudn't wash this razor in only hot water after shaving, warm yes, but not only hot. And I wouldn't use boiling water to disinfect it. But this is a hypothetical situation. I think Proof designers considered it when they modified version 1 into version 2. I hope they used better magnets, with the working temperature of 100 C and more.

[@OhioShaves]

They definitely use better magnets because now it's kind of difficult to pull off the top cap compared to version one where it would pop off when you shaved. As for the magnets, I'm not sure about that. Might be a question for the manufacturer.

[@derfman1963]

Great video, but I have a feeling that that spring is going to wear out very fast. Would probably need a long term video on it's durability to convince me. The design has another problem in the detailing department. Same as my Leaf razor, under the nose is just going to be a problem. Not sure why no one has thought about just making a double edge swivel with the top part being a trim blade. It would be a little tricky to use, but it would obfuscate the need for a second razor to due fine trimming.

[@OhioShaves]

Thanks for sharing. I think the twig razor is the easiest razor to detail with. I have no problem with it under my nose at all. It’s actually the easiest one out of all the double edge, razors I use.

[@FitOverFiftyFitness]

I also noticed that exposed spring just waiting to break over time. To be honest, I think having several razors on deck and keeping them properly maintained and cleaned after every use will have them last a very long time.

@DanBennett_rtr I prefer double edge myself. Thanks for your support.

[@mellowcrow]

Thanks for the review. So I've jumped from catridges to the Leaf Thorn (medium aggression) about 6 months ago. After much practice I can shave without nicks, but I'm finding the technique needs to be perfect. There's no forgiveness. A small lapse in concentration, and boom: a nick. So I'm having to decide between the following in the efforts to find the razer that is both a bit more forgiving, while still providing a close shave: the mild Leaf Twig; the Whiskey Proof; or the Henson AL13. Clearly you think the Proof is forgiving, albeit you have to press harder (than usual safety razor pressures and at the level of a cartridge). But you've also said of the Henson, "if it is not at the right angle, it doesn't cut". Am I right to infer you think that compared to the Proof the Henson offers a superior shave, while still being forgiving. And it's just that the Proof, in being even more forgiving but perhaps not offering as close a shave (for the same number of passes), is a *mere* "gateway" into the safety razor world rather than a destination?

[@OhioShaves]

Henson is a great razor for learning technique. Have you tried different blades in your Thorn? Like a variety pack. I get more perfect shaves with a Henson.

@@OhioShaves Yeah I've iterated over several blade types for the Thorn. Tried Feathers, Nacets, Astras, Persona Lab Blues, and more. Just ordered another set form Razor Blade Club. I think Nacets are my top pick, possibly partly prejudiced by your "I'm liking the Nacets". For me the (oh so subtle) test for the blade is the feel of the pull on a downward stroke of the neck, on and around the adam's apple. Nacets seem smoothest here. Thanks for confirming that you get more perefect shaves form the Henson, compared to the Proof. That tips me in favour of the Henson next. Thanks for the code.
