  • that goatee looks stupid

  • I think it was already like that

  • ouch, look how red and bumpy his skin looks afterwards.

  • @jaffarm and before

  • @jaffarm not really the best person to do it on as he had a bit unhelthy skinn

  • This guy seems awesome

  • This guy is amazing! Great voice too! 

  • this guy is terrifing

  • if im ever in LA ill stop and get a shave from this dude

  • torn towel, messy shaving, tattoo's left, right and centre. very unique barber

  • off the subject but the shirt he is wearing is nice pleated sleeves and rollover cuffs, does anyone , by chance know what make, namebrand this is, thanks

  • MUCH RESPECT...DUDE IS A BEAST!!!

  • I respect what this guy has done in the barber community.. but I have to say TOO MANY PEOPLE KISS THIS GUYS ASS.

  • what kind of straight razor do you use, a feather artist

  • too cool brother. carry on

  • Donnie,,you got to check out the" barbersuniversity "web site,,,,its a place just for us,,,barbers

    keep up the good work,,,,talk to you soon

  • is that a tear drop tat? and your letting him shave ur face? lol

  • Whats with the tattoos scaring people? If you're going in for a straight razor shave, are you really gonna freak about that? Grow a set of ballz dudes. Plus its a common thing now a days for barbers to rock all kinds of tattoos. Barbering got cool when sallies started going to salons.

  • @Str8razr1

    I AGREE...

  • Using your bare hands is not illegal...using unsanitized bare hands is, as is not covering the headrest but not many people do that either. You can call the CA state board, they'll be happy to answer your questions 800-952-5210

  • I like your shop's theme

  • Nope...didn't mix anything up....I'm a licensed professional. Shave brushes and lather mugs are not allowed in California and will result in a fine. As to why...state board feels they cannot be sanitized and disinfected appropriately

  • @MrCatchafade Please provide some link for it. I tried googling it and only found that in some instances in California is illegal to apply foam to skin with hands, which is completely opposite of what you said. :) Of course, any proffesional barber should have surgical gloves and several sets of brushes and razors.

  • @MrCatchafade is that Canada or California, and why aren't they legal?

  • Shave brushes are not legal in CA

  • @MrCatchafade You probably mixed something up. Maybe badger hair shave brush? How can shave brush be illegal, lol?

  • Uhmmm - I'm not quite sure that this was a good shave at all....... think the barber needs way more practice in using an open blade - also I think it was pretty obvious the guy was dying when the extremely hot steaming towels were applied to his face.

  • terrible shave... did anyone see the razor burn on the guys neck in the end??

  • @realblessed4 yeah, I was gonna point that out. I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

  • @realblessed4 He actually has terrible skin and the redness was there throughout the entire shave. Looks like meth marks or something hahaha

  • Good video bro! Keep it up!

  • This mofo in the chair has some very long eyelashes.

  • This guy is a damn good barber...shame there aren't many like this. Great vid.

  • I am gonna drive south to Long beach JUST to get a shave from Donnie....

  • Now that is how a real barber is supposed to dress.

  • @Deucefiggity

    agree, but the tattoos make it look a little weird:p

  • @Guitarvirtuoso666 Yeah, the sharp dress look, but the visible tats creeping out. It grew on me throughout the video. It works for him I think.

  • That guy face was smoking.....

  • this dude looks like a boss haha

  • weird costumes he's got all his employees wearing.

  • hot lather shaves are awesome!

  • open one in the valley i dont feel like driving 45 mins for a haircut and a shave

  • 2:49 and then he has a..a..a.. what the fuck is this

  • You know what i mean?

  • O.K. but why is the guy shaven already?

  • he didnt cut the hair in the right direction thats why he had a rash next to his throat, gotta go in the diretion of the hair so u dont pull the root out :)

  • Thumbs up if you would be scared if you saw him with a teardrop under his eye and hes holding a razor at your throat.)

  • @Th0ma5100 shud never be too quick to judge, but then again... sweeney todd...

  • @Th0ma5100

    just to tell whom might dont know: the teardrop tattoo is a traditional prison tattoo in the US prisons. Its meaning that the person killed someone.

  • @Th0ma5100

    LMAO !!!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

    BUT SERIOUSLY, THOUGH... THIS BARBER IS AN ARTIST !!!

    THE DUDE KNOWS HIS SCIENCE !!!

  • @Th0ma5100 teardrops mean diiferrent things years served loss of loved one, either way , he aint thuggin it , he is maintaining a job and got a new lease on life-----look at the good things not the bad

  • @Th0ma5100 Tear drops can also mean you've lost a loved one.......or killed someone lol

  • They should have used a subject how was willing to have a full shave, And who clearly needed one, Liked the look of the place though

  • nice tatoos!!!

  • We do our 14 stroke shave differently but I think I would prefer this method.

  • I wish I had facial hair to shave. If I went in with my sparse hair most barbers would probably laugh.

  • what kind of shoes do you wear donnie? i like them

  • @vangard213 It's called a safety razor. Most people use them now a days because they fold in on themselves, making them easier to transport and they can also fold out to give you the most options to get a comfortable grip

  • @mysanityisrelative So it takes a blade like a regular safty razor then ? Did not know they even had those.

  • I really dig that watch

  • It's going to be a long drive for a shave from Ohio to California.

    What type of razor was that,it wasn't a traditional straight razor from the looks of it.

  • @vangard213 It's a Feather brand straight... disposable blade.

  • @commiekazeproject I didn't even know they had those.A lot safer than the traditional I guess.

  • Not the best camera angle but still get the idea. Great Vid!

  • what brand of straight razor is that?

  • Where is the shave brush I have heard so many "experts" say is imperative to a good shave?

  • @wigwamman1 You use a brush to create a lather from solid shaving soap. The barber in this video has a machine that does it for him. secondly I don't think a barber will ever touch a customer's face with a brush - they use their hands for applying lather.

  • @glenruben I hear what you're saying, and perhaps it has something to do with "health codes", but the fact remains that if you research the pros as to why a shave brush is used, you will find that brushes lift the hair better and exfoliate the skin when "finger applied" lather can't. Hey, each his own..just my observation.

  • @glenruben They use brush to get the hair standing up. First they use rotating move to get the dead skin, then just tease. For health codes, barber should wear surgeon gloves. You have to brush if you want comfortable and close shave. Not this inflamed, razor bump result as in this video.

  • Manhattan - there is a place on 88th and 3rd that does this for like 8 bucks.

    Real McCoy, too.

  • All those tats distract me and weird me out.

  • beyond the shaving lecture, i really like the style of the baber, a right mix of everything, seems like a really cool place.

  • If the hot towel opens the pores and the natural stringent closes the pores, how come the stringent is used with a hot towel?

  • @triscooteremu Normally you would use cold water to close the pores, I'm not sure why he uses another hot towel. Maybe it's more to do with the fact that it's more comfortable then a cold water towel.

    This guy also doesn't use a brush Or talk about what type of shaving soap he's using and he doesn't do a second( or third pass) which makes me a little worried about his credentials. A well informed straight razor will tell you that the soap and the Brush are the key parts the blade is secondary

  • @vearheart42 I agree completely. There are a whole lot of things being done incorrectly. or just skipped completely. By looking at all the old time barber shop antiques and his silly costume I'd say this guy is marketing a kitchy vibe, not a good haircut and shave.

  • @mach5jeep Yes, I had same exact toughts. Just look at the face of the guy being shaved after, it's full of razor bumps, and that is exactly what he SHOULD not have with good shave. There are much better videos of straight razor shaving on Youtube. This guy looks just like good marketing in his costume and tattoos.

  • @Loyniss It could also be the condition of his skin, so you have to take that into consideration.

  • @stvynix Sure, but it's obvious that guy getting shave is uncomfortable. And you simply can't have cutthroat shave without a brush, it's doing so many skin to the hair. Just check some other videos of straight razor shaving, from people wearing white coats. :) Besides, why would he mess with his hair getting it wet and shit? It's a shave, don't touch the hair, lol.

    But it's true as one comment says it: he is costumed good and that is most important for good barber. :))

  • @vearheart42 I was just wondering. Seemed common sense for me but I didnt know if there was a trick or something that I didnt know of.

  • @triscooteremu Like I said probably more to do with comfort then anything.

  • I got goosebumps just watching.... nothing like a real hot towel shave, just watching it done gives me the same sensation.

  • Man that's makes me want a shave now. The hot towel always puts me to sleep, glad I trust my barber.

  • good, but tatoos on hands looks very very ugly .......

  • @Klintololi Good thing you'd be going for a shave, not church

  • I thank you brother for doing this the right way, I just finnished school and that was the way we where taught , there are few who know the art of shaving annd you are one , great video

  • Other than feather´s, what other straight´s do you use?

  • Man I wish they had a barber shop like this where I live

  • @cutty636 Where do you live?

  • @AdamsTeinz  TN

  • @cutty636 I agree... Would make daily visits...

  • dude if is not camera this barber is gonna cut ur head he look sick

  • Where do you get those hand spiderweb tattoos though?

  • Is that a feather blade?

  • Comment removed

  • dig the hat!

  • awesome man, Any books i should check out ??

  • Was this guy in Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!?!?! (jk)

  • Nice tats

  • They need to start singing "Pretty Women". Only then will the shave be complete.

  • WOW! On 0:52 you are the man! You are Great artist and give people right and properly information...Good and useful details.

  • damn what a cool barber

  • ahaha, dud r u fucking kidding me? i voiced my opinion and then you attacked me, so i gave a retort that u didnt like now your gonna get all butt hurt? i wont meet you at anyof those places bcus i dont live around there..faggot..but i will voice my opinion wherever i go til i die.

    and im definately not a wigger...fuck black people.

  • @West0SDS0Side Racist comment seriously i hate black people wtf 

  • now that i went to your page... i see your a raciest skin head to..... good what a fucking joke!!!!

  • @doubletapm4 wow dude..you are a faggot

  • @West0SDS0Side nice come back... piss off horse guzzler

  • @doubletapm4 comeback? im not here to have the best "comeback" im here cus u said something stupid now ur butthurt.. im done here.. u write back n everyone will know your truly a faggot

  • @West0SDS0Side a faggot huh... funny since i married to my hot ass wife!!!!! your the racist asshole who made a dumb ass comment saying Donny is copying Richie.... but your prob from some backass redneck state and that explains why your a white trash racist that doesn't know wtf there talking about.... ok im done

  • @doubletapm4 holy shit dude..that just made u look like an idiot.

    

  • plus the fact this video is hosted on Dickies channel, this video seems more about fashion and showing off this guys work clothes than it is about actual shaving...you cant even see proper angles of his shaving techniques.

  • His way of shaving looks messy. I don't think that's the best way, but as long as his customers are satisfied... I'm a bit disappointed because he's the first barber I've ever seen using a bloody sharp Feather straight razor, and it could have been quite a show. Good luck with your barbershop.

  • Shit, I know that hurts.

  • @DaGeneral16 its acutely verrryyyy relaxing... i have had ppl fall asleep in my chair lol

  • When I was stationed out in Cali when I was in the Navy, my buddies and I had a few days leave off base and we were walking around and saw this place. I said, "Hey, let's go in." So we did and I so wish they had a place back here in Boston. It was so relaxing. They give you a beer while you get a haircut and a shave.

    It was the best haircut and shave I've ever had. Ever!

  • good barber = hella good time

  • i wouldnt go to him..kinda seems like a richie the barber wanna be..personal opinion

  • @West0SDS0Side HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­A!!!!!!! Donny has been cutting hair sense Richie was still in grade school!!!! learn your facts before you talk shit!!!!!!

  • @doubletapm4 personal opinion you fucking faggot ass little bitch! theyre styles r similar, and they do the same fucking thing..id rather go to richie PERSONAL OPINION..get the fuck off this guys nuts my mann, you sound like his little wifey..

    go die

  • @West0SDS0Side real tough talk over the internet you fucking little wigger bitch!!!!! i would be more then happy to meet u at donnys or richies shop and lets see you try to say that shit in person!!!! but your just an internet thug wanna be though guy behind your keyboard!!!!! you wont show.... so keep pretending to be a hardass on youtube while i just laugh at you!!!! p.s. im not on donnys nuts just stateing facts... like heres another... he is a ASSHOLE in person.. and another.. your a bitch!

  • shit...I'm one of those asians without any beards or mustache. what do i do?

  • @frogger832 plugs.

  • I wish I could find a Barber like this in the Milwaukee area.

  • thats a badass Hamilton watch he has on shits expensive as fuk but dope

    great technique with the straight edge razor

  • I'm sorry to say this but that is not a good shave!

  • the Barber is an artform which is slowly dissapearing, and im happy to see you guys keepin it real, men only, you are welcome in australia anytime !

  • California Barbers represent! From Torrance to Compton to Long Beach. South Bay to the OC....

  • this guy really makes me wish i made better decisions earlier in life. if i didnt waste my time at art school for nothing and owe all that money i would of liked to take that money and go to a barbering school. really inspiring, especially when somebody like him is all tattooed up like myself. cheers.

  • @spiritofjosh yeah i agree...the barbershop i go to all the guys are tattooed up hands, neck , n arms. i hate covering or worrying about my tattoos for jobs. watching this n seeing an emerging of oldschool traditions is very inspiring.

  • why no cold towell at end?

  • that barber had mad swag, id go just to talk to him ... and get shaved

  • Did you use the witch-hazel with a HOT towel? It just looked like it was smoking when you put it on him. Might have been because it was cold, IDK. I was always taught that you use hot, pre shave, to open the pores/soften the hair, & cold, post shave, to close all the pores or any micro cuts, so the astringent would kill any germs on TOP of the skin, but not get into the skin to irritate it/cause razor burn.

  • i would go every single day if i lived near his barber shop

  • I think that barber might just be the coolest person alive!

  • Can he cut black people hair?

  • @bartman81 different kinda barbering? worlds apart . both disciplines are highly skilled and stick to what you do cause i tell you for one a black barber would struggle cutting pomps and a white barber would struggle cutting martin lawerence vibe. no right no wrong. peace out

  • yea Donnie n his crew r badass, dont let the clothes or tats fool u, they're pro's @ there profession, n take great pride in there line of work, i myself go every 3 weeks, nothing like a cold paps n a good cut from any of his shops

  • yea Donnie n his crew r badass, dont let the clothes or tats fool u, they're pro's @ there profession, n take great pride in there line of work, i myself go every 3 weeks, nothing like a cold paps n a good cut from any of his shops

  • well done my barberbrother!!

  • I'm a barber myself. I do the old fashioned shaves but it's helpful seeing someone do a true textbook shave. ;-)

  • Gonna have to look up this place next time I'm in the OC. Great to see someone who appreciates a real BARBER shop where a man can feel comfortable. So tired of the fufu "styleists" cutting my hair next to a vase full of pink roses. Thanks for the vid,I can almost smell the shaving cream and leather!

  • I only wish he demonstrated this on someone who actually needed a shave.

  • Maybe it's the camera but dosent look a great shave not that keen on mr tattoo doing all that to me either

  • This guys a genius.

  • I see he's shaving with a feather--nice!

  • take that china we have cool shave although china has robots shaving them 

  • A true artist. Very nice.

  • are there any shops like this in Rhode Island?

  • @rollinaces91 its a no

  • u need new towels

  • i cant believe straight guys would let another man touch their face n stuff,,, i know some straight guys like that... they would never let another guy touch them in any way.. weird right

  • @mrchrmedone dude its a shave pal! relax! its not like he's shaving his balls. Youre the weird one. Grow up!

  • @KimuraSOB666 its weird to me. coz i'm gay and my brother is straight as hell.. he would never let another guy touching him.. hohoho no mam no way ever.

  • @mrchrmedone maybe deep down your brother is gay too, not that there is anything wrong with that. Again, he is simply doing a shave, its not like he'd be getting an oily back rub from the guy. I take it your bro hates it when your dad hugs him or shakes his hand? What about when you try to show him some BROTHERLY emotion? does he think youre gonna give him gay or something? Long story short, chill! Its just a shave. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, dont go to a barber

  • @KimuraSOB666 hohoh miss honey i love going to the barber so the guys can touch me n everythin; its nice. and i love to flirt with them, and my brother is ok touching my dad and me.. but he would never let another man besides my daddy and me touching him.. he thinks is gay. but some barber gays are hot.. they have hot asses.

  • @mrchrmedone Well whatever floats your boat brotha, but for the sake of other people here, lets stick to the topic which is straight razor shaving. Whatever you do in your personal life is all you. A lil advice, be careful who you come across with your certain thoughts or feelings. Not all guys are very open minded, and remember not everyone wants to hear about your thoughts or fantacies. Keep it real man! take care and tell your bro to come outta the closet already!

  • @mrchrmedone dude, no homo. it's cool.

  • What lead you to become a barber, I'm thinking about opening a place that does all the old fashion stuff up here in upstate NY

  • Y'know, they've just NEVER stopped doing this kind of thing in Japan. I just had the same treatment today - hot lather, hot towels, straight razor shave, lotion, a trim of the eyebrows, a head and shoulder massage - and a cool 1940s cut that pomps up rockabilly style in a second. My barber is an artist. I love all this traditional stuff.

  • brother , i just watched this video for the 6th time and am still impressed with the skill in his shave! relaxing to watch and great to see that there are actualy people out there that can USE a straight razor! keep up the great work!

  • How am I wrong when I going for stateboard and in my school they teach us the 14 steps and how you should hold the razor properly while doing the steps. He still gives a good shave but if he's trying to show the stepa.

  • Oops, for "orrery" sub in "pretty good too." (Hit Send instead of backspace.)

  • Top quality production. Good sound, good hi-def and great camera angles. Oh yeah, the shave looked orrery

  • Most of your 14 steps of shaving are wrong. Also how you hold the razor while doing the steps.

  • @fresherthanamutha your wrong, he's famous you fool.

  • @miasma69 unfortunately, fresherthanamutha is right. Even if you dont know the 14 stroke shave, he refers to 3 different areas as number 5. HOWEVER!! Donnie is an amazing Barber, and i have, and will continue to use his products.

  • You're an artist!!!!! Respect!!!!
