I find myself revisiting the channel and website throughout the year. I am the son of a widowed mother and the transparency and education this channel brings has been an amazing resource. Thanks Matt and the entire Razor Emporium team!
B&M is great stuff but some of their scents are polarizing. My favorite is Lavender. I got a back up set since it’s discontinued.
Hi Matt, what brand is the pre-shave soap and the brush? Thanks!!!❤
Hello Matt.
Question: you have mentioned that taking a blade out of the wrapper. How much will this dull the blade? Will this reduce the use significantly?
Thanks
Mike
I’m thinking about getting one of those lather storage things like you have on your face so I can blade buffer better 😎
This is one of my favorite scents. It’s based on Gillette’s “Wild Rain” from the 90’s. It came in shaving gel and aftershave gel. It was one of the first shaving products that I ever used back in my teenage years. Great memories. Cool wave is similar but this is definitely based on the wild rain scent.
Soaps are not a big deal, sents arenot important. I shower post shave, so soap smell goes bye bye.
I used the Lavanille splash this morning. The rest of my shave was much lower tier though. I am doing a little test by shaving with the Weishi TTO and some basic VDH blades, with Edge canned gel. It's not AS slick and comfy as my usual stuff, but it's still a big step up from the cartridges in every way. I'm betting you had to wash off most of that balm later though. I use less than ONE pump and it still tends to be a bit much, but less is hard to get just right and spread properly. I really like the Red Letter Day splash, but it's definitely a strong scent. The Lavanille gives me a less intense option that has some of the same notes I like. The matching soap sample is in my drawer waiting for this "safety razor startup" test to be done.
Thank you for posting this excellent video. It was fun seeing you do 2 passes, but I realize you are more comfortable with one pass shaves, and I can understand that. I think I do what you call 'blade buffing' without realizing it. I will have to look into getting some of the soaps and creams that you stock. I was definitely ready to buy Mitchell's Wool Fat soap after you demonstrated lathering with it in an earlier video. I checked your website to buy it and you were out of stock at that time — the web page said there was nothing to display on the Mitchell's Wool Fat page. So I bought some elsewhere and just did my first shave with the product today. I will certainly buy other shaving soaps and creams from you.
what is the red tip compared to on a gillette adjustable?
Great shave! "Cheek Kisses For You" 😂😂 I just started using B&M a little over a month ago with The Full Measure of Man and I love it. Very tobacco, vanilla, woodsy scent. Great lather and leaves the skin nice and soft and slick. 👍
Hmm…just might have to pick up some B&M.
Well then! Indeed as others have mentioned it's a pleasant change getting to hang with Matt JUST a couple minutes extra on another pass! 😆 Thx for the b&m inspo, I'll have to get my hands on a sample since I've never tried any. Guess it's decided!…sounds like I need to trade the flair tip SS for a red tip! Standard vintage collections when ur not using the Rex hardware anyway! #sentry #konsul #fatboy
I'm definitely buying this video's products haha Matt convinced me when having a great shave 🪒
Will would tell you you need much more water lol
I love my Gillette 1955 a2 red tip heavy factory nickel revamp that I got from Matt
Hello Matt, I usually do not comment as there are so many comments that anything which I have to offer just probably gets lost. But I will add a comment on your video. When you first did your Barrister & Mann video last week or so I went and purchased the Bay Rum. You did not seem to have it on your website, so I purchased it from Barrister & Mann's website. They also sent a sample of the Lime lather which is also a great scent which I might purchase next. What a great company to interact with….
I am 75 years old with skin like tissue paper and whiskers like barbed wire. I have used some fairly high end shaving lathers and now mostly stick with TOBS. (and not to be rude, but shaving the mustache and chin area, I believe are the true test of a razor, blade, and a lather which is something I do…). I shave every morning for a BBS probably due to the military standards of long ago.
If the rest of the Barrister & Mann lathers are as good as the Bay Rum, I will be hooked on Barrister & Mann. I still practice dentistry and both my wife and my staff feel that is the best scent which I have ever bought. (I shared the sent with them although they like TOBS Oud)
So I think you very much for calling my attention to Barrister & Mann and the slickness of this lather truly stands out as one of the very best lathers.
By the way I bowl lather because I can place my bowl on a Suxman coffee cup warmer such that I have warm lather. Yes, cold lather might be better, having stated that I served 4 years with the Marines as a Navy Corpsman during Vietnam and we were fortunate to shave in cold water with just a bar of soap for lather out in the field. As long as I live no matter how much of a better shave experience, I will never shave with cold water.
Blessing to you and keep up the good you are doing for the shaving community.
Love my red tip/ an eBay buy during Covid, when everything was a lot cheaper.
VAYA QUE HERMOSA ES ESTA GILLETTE. CREO QUE ES UNA DE LAS MAQUINILLAS MÁS HERMOSAS QUE SE HAN CREADO. TE ADMIRO MATT Y SIEMPRE VEO TUS VIDEOS, SON MUY ENTRETENIDOS TUS REVIEW Y ME GUSTA TODO LO REFERENTE AL AFEITADO CLÁSICO Y VAYA QUE QUIERO UNA DE ESTAS CAMISETAS NEGRAS DE TU CANAL PARA ENMARCARLA!!!
Gracias por el Video 🎥🎞️🎬
I enjoyed watching this video
I absolutely love my British Red Tip.. for me it’s my “auto pilot” razor.. so easy and comfortable to use
B&M is the densest soap I have ever used. Le Grand Chypre is an incredible scent.
Ugh, I have so much soap already! But maybe not enough.
Nice shave Matt
Perfect shave. Wow has Matt converted to the 2 pass shave ?!
Love the Red Tip. Used mine this morning with a Personna Comfort Coat…WOW! You should try the Comfort Coat!
