Wilkinson Sword Shave Soap review, Feather Artist Club Shavette and The Leafe razor!!!!!

[@michaelorsini9695]

Really nice demonstration of the Feather Artist!!! I have both the SS and DX versions. Love using this razor! It has a bit of a learning curve but once you've mastered it, it's an absolute joy to use. There's nothing like that pass from under the neck, over the jowl and along the cheek. This particular razor, the Feather SS & DX are engineering marvels. And the sharpness of these blades (Pros or Supers) exceeds what I can get on my straight razors...that just means you have to be extra careful...which translates into learning great shaving technique. Your camera must be amazing as well...very clear video. CHEERS!!

[@markford1646]

Nice shave Flash, mixing those soaps together would be inspired , oh, wait a minutes I thought you'd retired? Sorry, it was you Cris - still a good idea! Nice shave with the feather, feels like a straight but without the hassle of honing and stropping (hassle if your not a full-time straight shaver with all of the kit.) I look forward to seeing you shave your head with the leaf, if it's any good it could bring an end to disposable plastic in my den - I like your environmental approach. Have a great weekend.

I think it may disappoint mate sadly! But I’ll give it another go!

[@jonathanlewis4077]

Good morning bro it’s Jon awesome job shavette shave today nice shavette

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

very nice shaving Cris!

[@JakeM218]

After watching the video, I’ve realised the impact hard water has on lather! Mine has never even got close to that. It just looks like a thin layer of white paint on my face. I had assumed it was just the soap, but I’ll have to try with some bottled softer water!

[@jsl4228]

I struggled to lather Mitchells Wool Fat for absolutely ages, but then I just kind of figured out a method that worked for me and it's worked ever since. I was honestly almost at the point where I was going to bin the soap, but I'm glad I didn't because it's excellent now I managed to lather it!

[@AnotherCutAbove]

I never actually had the fat, I had Kent shaving soap which is essentially rebranded fat. To be fair I was very early on in my shaving adventure and I reckon now I would be able to knock out a cracking lather with it! I just need to pull the pin on a purchase!

[@koosk41]

The look and the silence during the third pass summed up the shave. I was almost shouting STOP! STOP MAN! Thank-you however for persevering and taking one for the Wet Shaver's 👍

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Hahaha screw that! To be fair it didn’t end up too badly lol my skin is tired this week though!

[@jmr5707]

21:25 Wasn't that One Blade that came out awhile back a pivoting single blade? Don't remember it getting very good reviews, though 😆😂 Kinda remember Freedberg and Ken Lee using them.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

I thought the one blade was an OK razor. But one shave per blade and stick pivot made it difficult to use and recommend!

[@spencerfrankel414]

I didn't like mine at all. One blade core had plastic stopping tabs. So after a few uses (obviously) the sharp blades pierced through the plastic stoppers and made it unusable. Not a fan of oneblade at all and customer service was pretty average

[@gen2rev907]

I watched this video when you first posted it, but watched it again today to see again what you thought about Wilkinson Sword soap. I used it this morning, and have almost used it up. However it seems that I’m struggling to build a satisfactory lather with it. I think it was better when the soap was fairly new, but now I found I agreed with all the negatives you mentioned here plus the fact that it no longer lathers very well.

[@ryansmurda1552]

Great shave Chris. Ordered some Fougere Gothiqe today from Maggard based on your recommendation. Can't wait to try it. Cheers Bro.

[@benwhitehead119]

First proper shaving soap I used. I shaved with the Wilkinson Sword soap today and it felt beautiful. I bought the brush at the same time, but not sure how I feel about that

[@AnotherCutAbove]

The brush is very average for sure, not something i would likely buy and use regular unless i was a true cheap scotsman lol

[@christiansalazar4604]

The problem I have with carts is the multiple blades tend to chew up my neck down by my Adam’s apple. Does the Lead feel a little smoother there?

[@AnotherCutAbove]

It’s incredibly mild man, it actually feels more like a de than a cart. Obviously for myself my skin is tired and in need of a little rest as I have been smashing it against the grain. Overall however the leaf hasn’t really cause me any issues.

[@JMac.]

Nice shave Cris! I’ve used that same soap with a straight razor a few times and it worked not too bad, but then again I can get a great shave with Williams lol. Have a good one bud.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Hahaha I can get a great shave from Williams but it’s just a shit lather! It’s slick as snot man!

[@JMac.]

Another Cut Above if you soak it for a good 20 minutes it will lather up real thick like... and yep, it’s definitely slick!!

[@Akis_101]

I have never tried that soap cause there are a lot of negative reviews about its performance, and now i saw you making an amazing lather!!!

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Still shit soap though hahaha

[@patkaczmarek7362]

Williams is the slickest soap on the planet. Looking forward to that combo.

[@Gowntlet]

Chris, this shaving is so awesome! I a love wilkinson sword boar brush a little bit more than omega, semogue. So cheap and easy to control!! Anyway great shave! ❤️👍😊

[@CincyShaves]

I watched how you shaved, our growth pattern seems to be pretty much the same. Great video and by the way, FIRST!

[@leehaseley2164]

Great shave Chris. I have the Wilkinson Sword sticks, which I am also thinking of mixing it, but with Arko to get rid of the bloody awful school toilet smell.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Hahaha I quite like Arko, smells a little like derby which I like!

Hello Chris can you review godrej shaving soap...

I need to wait till I'm. Back working and earning before I can get purchasing again

[@Callahangonefishin]

Great shave Cris! Interested to see how you get on with the Leaf, have always enjoyed the Mach 3 and now the Skinguard. Have a feather artist kamisori in the mail, enjoy the straight razor, don't love the stropping and honing. Cheers

[@AnotherCutAbove]

It’s a very good face shaver, average head shaver. The feather artist was great though for sure!

[@gabithemagyar]

Interesting. I found Wilkinson shaving soap to be far slicker than my usual "premium" soaps (Tabac, Cade, D.R. Harris, Proraso, Kent, Fendrihan) and infinitely more slick than my William's mug soap ! I wonder if it's the water here in Toronto ? Or perhaps it responds well to my usual lathering technique (brush soaked and then squeezed out firmly before loading soap for 30 seconds, wet face, and then face lather without adding more water to the brush) ? It's a mystery !

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Yeah I tend to lather voluminous wet lathers, but my water is also ansolutely dreadful over here. I had Kent soap which was the rebranded Mitchell’s woolfat and I couldn’t get it to lather at all!

[@AnotherCutAbove]

It’s one of those subjective things, but I found this to make a great lather but not have the best performance or post shave. I would definitely have it in with proraso etc....

[@christiansalazar4604]

Williams has amazing slickness, but I agree that you need to add another soap or something to stabilize the lather so it doesn’t break down. I’m a sucker for nostalgic or classic products, and Williams has been around forever. It just has kind of a vintage appeal to it.

[@stuarthay1]

Hey Cris. Agree with you on the soap. Price matches the quality. Was wondering though, what was the little trimming razor? Looks perfect size for under the nose.

[@natspublicfilmingrights6990]

I still want to get a A straight razor but I’m afraid to cut myself with that because I have pimples

[@antoniorieger8461]

Try out the Speick shaving cream

[@AnotherCutAbove]

I have so many things building up on my list of things to try 😂 hopefully get to it eventually.

[@jensebu78]

Speick Stick is better 👍😁

[@D4PPZ456]

Please watch Jonathan Romanov's video on lathering William's Mug. Once you get the dense lather, it competes with some of the best imo.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Honestly man I have tried like 5 different KZbin techniques off camera and can’t get anything to work. It must be our water over here. I was thinking of trying distilled water but I just can’t be bothered with the hassle lol

[@D4PPZ456]

@@AnotherCutAbove I honestly don't understand the company that makes it tbh. I'm sure they could have fixed the problem that makes it only work for half the people that try it and then rerelease it as a new product in their line.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Duhizy yeah I completely agree with you, and I’m probably one of the few who actually quite like the scent lol

[@spencerfrankel414]

@@D4PPZ456 I agree! The performance for me is absolutely incredible. Competes with almost anything for me. But I think it's very sensitive for water since my water doesn't have an issue at all, I can lather it fine and doesn't dissapate at all

[@patdurbin1961]

With soaps and creams like this, I use a glycerin preshave soap like the Cube. Great combination. Like my little WS boar brush.

[@JakeM218]

Soap is currently £2.25 delivered. Doesn’t seem great, but the price point is impressive!

[@burtbakerack1110]

Have you ever tried Van Der Lovett shave soap? It’s from the Netherlands.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Nah man I have to confess I’ve never even heard of it.

[@burtbakerack1110]

Another Cut Above - I should sent you a couple pucks. I picked up a half dozen at a discount dept store here in Canada. Not a stand out soap compared to some of the better artisans but it’s a reasonably slick tallow based soap and it has simple but masculine scents.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Curtis Mitchell that’s an awesome gesture buddy, but there is no need to send anything! I’ve been sent so many gifts and things to use it’s becoming embarrassing lol 😂

[@burtbakerack1110]

Another Cut Above - having some variety definitely makes the daily shaves better. Like you, I work in law enforcement and used to dread dragging a razor across my face before every shift. Cheers and stay safe out there!

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Curtis Mitchell and you man! I like to think that we make a difference to people’s lives! Having a great shave makes that easier to do hahaha

[@achimkohlhage1328]

I've mixed Williaam with Arko = creamy lather. Cheers.

[@Nomadicsage1]

Sounds like it's similar to Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap,makes a cushiony lather, but has zero slickness.

[@Rickpa]

In my experience, the top position on the Leaf does nothing. Using one blade that's split, and placing it in the middle and bottom slots is all I need for a great shave.

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Yep I think you’re likely correct Rick! Which begs the question of my the 3 blades? Then again maybe it’s making a tiny difference, just enough to affect the shave but go unnoticedb

[@Matteo-sc2lz]

Nice face shave! But this soap did it ,and I never felt good

[@yojimbo21]

Have you considered adding “The Lather Master” to the title of your videos?

[@AnotherCutAbove]

😂

[@adlanhaziq]

Hey Chris, have you seen The Boys by Amazon Video? You look an awful lot like one of the characters, Frenchie

[@AnotherCutAbove]

I’ll let the wife be the judge lol

[@TheVirtualGroomroom]

Still as good as the Karve? Hahaha

[@AnotherCutAbove]

Man it’s such a good razor, this one definitely has its flaws for sure! It will however stay in the rotation for good though given it’s an amazing shaver!

[@TheVirtualGroomroom]

Another Cut Above I agree. It's one of the ones I've kept too.

[@reacts6790]

Its very bad how you shaving. You must shaving small piece by piece. And not big. Thats why you cut your neck. And if you doing neck you go down to up. Not up to down.
