  1. As I do appreciate the information in that video. Most of those shaving videos gave me goosebumps. And, not for the right reason. – dumping my cartridge razor for a DE-razor was the best thing I ever did. For my skin, purse and comfort. Meanwhile I mostly use my straight razor.

  2. I only shave once a week so I have got into a good routine. Hair trimmer with no guide to get rid of the growth, warm shower, shave with 2 sided razor. My neck glows bright red if I shave too often but thankfully my job doesn't require it.

  3. I switched to wet shaving two years ago. I use a glycerin based soap with a badger hair brush and a safety razor with an extra long handle all after a hot shower to soften the follicle. That is what works for me.

  4. I've been using a $10 Amazon razor with Shark Super Chromes (after getting a sampler and testing about ten different kinds). I'd love to see a review of different handles.

  5. Just a correction: the alcohol featured in the video, cetyl alcohol, is not an alcohol that will dry your skin out. It is a hydrating compound and found in many balms, conditioners, and creams. Alcohols such as denatured ethanol and isopropanol will dry your skin out. Fatty alcohols such as stearyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, and the aforementioned cetyl alcohol are hydrating.

  6. I liked the video very informative. I recently bought a proraso shaving cream after viewing one of your videos and i was impressed by the change it had on my experience when shaving compared to the wilkinson sword shaving soap i was using before.

    And i would like to see a video on razors because i'm interested in purchasing a DE razor that's a bit more aggressive than the King C. Gillette or Wilkinson sword DE razor that i've been using since they are rather mild, although i think that the Gillette is milder than the wilkinson sword.

  7. I really want to move on from cartridge razors, but I'm afraid the but I'm afraid the closest shave I could get to BBS without irritation would be about the same as what I would get with an electric shaver.
    Any thoughts?

  8. Do laser hair removal. No, it’s not only for girls. Wiping out facial hair entirely might be impossible/very hard for men, but it will reduce hair hardness significantly, which makes shavings rarer and easier. Irritation and cuts go away. I, personally, don’t like recent years’ trend of men growing a particular type of facial hair, like Mr. Schlueter here. It’s a personal opinion, but being clean-shaved suited him much more.

  9. 😂 When i see these guys with a real beard go against the grain on first pass 🤦🏻
    By the way, the DE i love most is an EdwinJagger with a Feather blade,… for me, great👌and i leather up directly on the face.
    My tip is
    – don't spare with lather for each pass
    – the lather should be on for 2-3 minutes
    – start with the grain and don't try to remove all stubbles in the first pass
    For me it's ok to shave all two or three days and i go 2 passes… with and across, not against… is good enough.
    Special : i had dry skin and i cream, cream and nothing helped. So i start to use nothing… the first days my skin was very tight and itchy.
    But then the "miracle" happens… my skin starts more and more to protect itself. Now i use nothing and my skin starts to feel creamed after ~20 min….. but only with a real soap, not so good with canned stuffs….

  10. For years, I would get razor burn. I tried all kinds of creams, pre-shaves, etc., but nothing worked. Finally I came up with the perfect technique: Wash in warm water, cool rinse, towel dry. Then wait 20 or 30 minutes while getting dressed, etc. and come back and dry shave. People think it would hurt, but the truth is it's a lot better than wet shaving, at least for me. Plus you get used to it. The key is the dry skin has to be all the way dry. No sweating or it won't cut right, and no skipping days or it will be too long to cut right too.
