  • I once had a dad... but then he took an arrow to the knee

  • I clicked this video so i can be a good girlfriend/wife someday and help my guy out :P

  • Lmfaoooo he said don't bang the razor against the sink, the sink will lose lol, I like this dude he talks like Charlie sheen!

  • He's right. Big brand shaving stuff is stupid and pointless, like tongue cleaners on toothbrushes they are inventing pointless new things to get a 1-up over the competition and marketing it like crazy. No wonder razer blades are the most shop-lifted item they are insanely overpriced.

  • @OGMASSA Let the razor do the shave, dont put pressure on the razor

  • who needs a dad when you have youtube!!!!!!!

  • My face gets soooo fucked up when I shave without an electric razer, Im leaving for basic soon its gonna suck :(

  • I prefer 1805

  • you look like a clean man

  • I'm so proud to be German

  • don't use any of that canned crap, it's nothing but product and fluff, you can't even see where you're getting or not getting, plus anything with alchohal in it will dry out the skin. use shave soap. i use williams mug shave soap. try it.

  • @TeslaDRay

    oops, didn't know you were gonna switch to the shaving creme, as i posted that near the beginning of the video.

  • I wish you were my dad, and we had the father-son bonding moment where you taught me how to shave in person lololol

  • are you not supposed to shave if you have acne

  • @distortionpf the acne get be to much or to bumpy

  • i have a dad,but he's super rich and have a barber.

  • My face is itchy and I have spots so it is pretty bloody to shave any advice

  • @lokalllize Grow a beard.

  • 4 real lets end wussification

  • thank you dad. :)

  • do you have this in common? MY 5 REASONS WHY I HATE SHAVING

    check my page

  • actually im here beacause i was curious how many retarded people there are that cant figure out how to shave for themselves...

  • Isn't that weird that you guys are here because you don't know how to shave? Well it's ok because we are not alone in this lol. Hope people don't type in "How to pee" also LoL

  • I totally agree with you theres no need for 5 blade razors i mean i use a 2 blade desposable and it works fine but my dad uses a 5 blade gilette fusion there just no need for the fusion

  • awesome ! :D

  • thanks dad

  • Can someone give me some tips? I just purchased the Merkur 38c, a badger brush, and a bar of soap. Usually when I shave I use downward motions, straight downward motions.

    But after the shave I can still feel the hairs on my face, if I use upwards strokes I get a smooth shave. Should I just go downwards like the man in this video. My haircolor is darkblond, and my facial hair is black so how do I figure out which direction I should shave? I hate razorbumps / cuts

    Sorry about my english, Norway.

  • @nhlpens What blade are you using? Check Mantic59's videos they are the best guides.

  • @MarkGauvreau

    At the moment, a 5-blade razor. Thanks, will check out those videos :)

  • @nhlpens Soap dries your pores making you get a less smooth shave. Get ride of the soap and try a moisturizer instead.

  • @TerrariaLetsPlays

    Thanks, I'll try that. So just use a moisturiser instead of soap and creams?

  • @nhlpens Well, soap dries your pores, while shaving cream and moisturisers actually soften your hairs, giving you a cleaner and smoother shave, so definitely try a moisturiser.

    Other than that, try shaving against the grain, which is usually in upward motions. This will make the razor cut the hair easier.

    As for cuts and razorbumps, make sure you are using a razor this is not dull. A dull razor gives the skin more irritation.

    Hope I helped!

  • @TerrariaLetsPlays

    Thanks I will use a moisturiser next time, soften up my face with warm water, shave in an upward motion, and be sure to check if I need to replace / flip over my blade, and rinse off with cold water.

  • nice! I'll need to pick me up a safety razor. :) I beleive it's very important to put videos out like this it shows people how to shave. I say that because not all dads are going to show you how to shave just due to "stuff"" to sum things up that comes up. props to you man!

  • i like this guy

  • Wow, old fashioned shaving! 

  • I heard all over the place your suppose to pat with the towel not rub which is what you did...

  • i have a dad but i suspect hes gay.

  • @TickleMehSickle I have a friend whose dad is gay and he is is the coolest, I seriously wish I had half the father he is...

  • 2:52 "before the wussification of America..."

    This is pure gold!

  • i dont have a dad and i live in a house full of women so this stuff helps

  • Reminds me of the murdering neighbor in Disturbia

  • ''you can be delicate, you don't have to apply a lot of pressure"

    as the guy is ripping apart his face, in a record time

  • my dad never taught me how to shave :( thanx youtube dad for tha help

  • I have a dad

    He's just extremely useless.

  • I only use electric razor but I have to go to the Army, and I don't think we can use electric razors in training.

  • He looks like joker

  • My dad died when i was 10 so yea.. youtube is kinda the alternative

  • obviously a communist

  • i am a girl and have to fake shave for a project. thanks for demonstrating!

  • i am a girl and have to fake shave for a project. thanks for demonstrating!

  • Thanks for this. My dad lives in Florida while I live in Washington. So I only get to see him during the summer. Thanks! :D

  • My dad never taught me how to shave (for reasons). Anyway.. I have trouble around my jaw bone line area. Any tips?

  • @SgtEaglefort What do you mean trouble? Shave down to your your jaw...then stop... do both sides of your face from your ear side, all the way to the edge of your chin/mouth...shave as if you're trying to go for a goatee basically, leave the moustache and chin area to last... use little strokes at your jawline when you have to curve the razor around your jaw

  • " this thing was made by germans " made me think that is also like a weapon hah

  • My Dad died when I was two, these are the things I'm really missing out on, thanks.

  • hy guys why everytime i shave my face a black line comes in the place that i shaved

  • @screamobeast a black line?!

  • @HolgerLovesMusic ya its like the place i shave stays black do you know why

  • @screamobeast you mean if you have shaved your face it still looks like you haven't shaved your face?

  • @screamobeast yp something like that

  • @screamobeast so, you just have thick hair, like i do. thats normal.

  • @HolgerLovesMusic oh ok tnx

  • whait if i have acne where i want to shave

  • @mrcbrv Be careful! That's all I can say man, but acne will go eventually =)

  • Watching this because I don't have a male figure around to show me lol thank you internet!

  • Shave with the grain, and leave visible hair! defeats the purpose of shaving doesn't it?

  • @MrZocor Yeah, your right. I don't know if this guy is doing it properly. I always go with an upward motion from the cheeks to the lower neck area. I find it works better.

  • @fastfist1 Different for everyone

  • look at the faces this dude makes while hes shaving lmao

  • @DramaCenter LOL

  • cool vid

  • I just started shaving.

  • wow if i would apply that much of pressure my face would be torn apart

  • What about the over 9000 razor?

  • wow he talks razors like my friend does working at zumiez

  • We are all here because we don't have dads?

  • @fizzyfoster

    well i have a dad, but he's a douche

  • @rhythmali besttt commmmennnt!!

  • @rhythmali Maybe we're related

  • @fizzyfoster i have dad but he is always working.

  • Comment removed

  • oh my god!, i came here because im starting to have facial hair and you show me that huge "iron hitler" !!!!

  • I just shaved and I did it with no cuts, but it took 4 tries and it isn't too fine, but I didn't get cut!

  • I shave with a knife. You jelly?

  • I've used the old fashioned Sensor Excel razor from Gillette since 2002. It's cheap for blades, and the razor itself has held up for 9 years now!

  • I enjoyed this video.

  • Are you suppose to shave your upper cheeks? I have hair there too...

  • this guy needs to stop worrying as much about cutting his facial hair and worry more about cutting his hair hair so he doesn't look like a van dweller... haha... seriously.

  • wow...this guy takes his shaving seriously

    

  • i use a straight to shave these days i always wondered how one of those would feel. I agree partially about the mach 3 and all that. However i use a straight razor because it is a one time investment and the blad if cared for properly will last forever and this means no more spending $20-30 for a small set of fancy razors that are only good for two to three shaves and then there useless.

  • @bordone Traditional safety razors (like the one in the video) aren't pricier than a straight razor on the long run, I think. For a straight razor (at least 50 - 60 bugs for a useable?!) you need a leather strop, grindstones sometime. A trad. safety razor (20 - 40 bugs for good ones) just needs quite cheap blades from time to time. At the end/over the years no huge difference. -- Just can recommend double edge/trad. safety razors. Definite different than Mach 3 and Co. and suitable for daily use

  • i dunno....i'm afraid to shave LOL :P

  • Look at who this video is most popular with... It looks like a lot of little kids are learning to shave... Isn't it daddy's job to teach you that?

  • @WeAreTwoDoorsDown little kids? like the 18-24 crowd? not sure what you mean by that statement buddy

  • @lalem91 When I looked yesterday, it was 13 - 18.

  • @WeAreTwoDoorsDown my "daddy" isn't around and i am not the only one with an absent father so stfu

  • @liamq12fu I don't have a dad either, so why don't you shut your little fucking mouth before you talk.

  • @WeAreTwoDoorsDown well if your dad is'nt around why did you say it's supposed to be a fathers job to teach their son to shave and why did you get so angry

  • i love this video so much. could you put another video up on how to keep your pubes looking trim

  • Doesn't Everlast make boxing gloves? lol!!!

  • I got this Gillette gel thing that pretty much comes from a tube aka you press the button and the gel comes from it, do i still do the same thing as the video?

    Just without the brush? or?

  • I started with a disposable 2 blade, then still disposable 2 blade, then ma got me a couple 3 blades for christmas. i saw this, just bought a merkur.

  • lol i dont have a dad, thanks for showing me

  • @Renoisstartled me neither :(

  • so you do shave your upper cheeks!

  • thats too much damn money for a razor $25 - $30 bucks?!? I'd rather just steal the stuff instead

  • @NyYankeesRthaBesT

    u never get rid of the thing, and u can get one for like $10. Theyre locked in a glass case cuz ppl slit their wrists and shit.

  • most people are only here because their dad abandoned them as a small child.

  • @PJRehlaender hahaha pretty much and because my older brothers are out of the house

  • Best thing to do after is wash you face with warm warter keeping the pours open Then use an exfoliant to remove all grease and soap from the pours as soap can lead to acne. Never use aftershave after shaving lol. If it stings then it cant be doing any good. Instead after exfoliating wash your face with cool water then aply moisturiser to the shave area. This is great for the skin and acturly leaves a smoother feel rather than a crisp dry feel.

  • I am 26, have been wet shaving for half my life (13yrs)... except for a very fleeting flirtation with electric shavers (worst!!) today i had my first shave with the Merkur HD,..(using my existing badger brush and proraso).. can say it is one of the best shaves i have had, have thrown out my cartridge razor!!.. you can buy 100 feathers for $40 where i live (AUS) ....compare that to 6 gillette fusion blades for $30

    its a no brainer... cheaper better and lets face it, more manl

  • 72 people had Dads

  • 2:52 - 3:00...whaat dude?

  • @hurtfan09 hahahaha. whats wrong man. do you not understand english?

  • This guy is lost

  • Comment removed

  • My mother told me not to shave my cheeks, is it really a big deal? Help and answers would be appreciated, I'm a noob at shaving. 

  • @dpgiaca97 if you need to shave them then do it, then hairs dont grow back bigger or faster

  • @dpgiaca97 your gonna have to shave it sometime. it depends how old you are also. if 12-15 i wouldnt cuz that could cause acne and pimples. it happened to me. dont buy a gillette fusion or proglide or shick quattro or whatever. shave down with the direction of hair growth. dont go against for a while till your skin gets used to it.

  • Thanks for this video, glad i didn't cut myself :)

  • If I don't shave against the grain it's not a close enough shave

  • @TaffyRaphie

    Yeah, no kidding. I really can't imagine getting a smooth shave without shaving against the hair. But I do get irritated.

  • @LordOfTheGnus well, not everyone can shave against the grain. i have ultra sensetive skin, and i cant shave against the grain without getting razor bumps and lots of irritation. i envy people who can shave ATG, but my face cant handle it.

  • i hate shaveing piss me off

  • Love the faces you make. Great vid, fellow merkur owner here, keep on shavin brother!

  • This is my favorite tutorial ever!!! Thanks, this was a lovely experience.

  • lol at face at 2:03 LOL

  • One should focus on the lather much more. You need to make it more watery and creamy. And you use too much pressure on the razor imo. Lighter longer passes is the way for the perfect shave. 3 light passes and its bbs with no burn.

  • He talks about controlling the razor, but the razor controls him.

  • dude you are way too rough on your skin

  • lol, what a nerd

  • u son of a bitch i followed eveything and i cut myself fuck u!!! 

  • dude are you a neo nazi or something why are you so pro german haha nice vid btw

  • @mynameisdec12 lol, Germany is known for being very good at making everday usage items

  • these give a great shave, you just have to be a little more careful with em compared to a safety razor.

  • shit i remember my dad using that

  • i like the color of your bathroom walls.

  • why do you use shaving cream? i just get my face really moist and wet with hot water and towel, than shave without it and it still is smooth

  • Danke, feels great shaving and having a clear smooth face

  • i aint got no aftershave! my razor hav 5 blades. i dont hav a brush, 4get it, im goin to the barbershop

  • i tried to bang it on the sink and the razor put it in a concentration camp 0.o

  • @skatebaker100 thats racist man come on

  • @MexicanChamp1000 shut the fuck up.

  • @FenderRox youre right i will just because a random person on the internet told me to. You don't know how it feels to be told thos things and i speak from experience. And besides did i ever offend you? Thats what makes some americans americunts for having low temper

  • @MexicanChamp1000 No you didn't offend me. You're just a typical dumb fucking mexican. How is it racist to mention "Concentration Camp"? I didn't realize that mentioning 2 words now is racist. Gosh... What about "Nazi Germany"? Is that racist too? How about "Swastika"? Does that make me racist too? Should we just forget about our history because it's all racism? Now hop your smelly burrito chomping ass over the border son.

  • @FenderRox you done? Yep you really are an americunt ignorant!! Why do you think Europe hates the US and think theyre stupid for thinking that Austrailia is a continent?? Why do you think this country has more ignirants, stupid people, teen pregnancy, mcdonalds eating fatasses, trolls, war, blondes, low temper etc!! Would you say what you just said in real life? No because your too of a coward to do so.

  • @skatebaker100 hahaaha funny as fuck hahaah

  • Good video. relathering and doing a seconds pass either with the grain or across the grain may be a little better than doing the touch-up on your bare skin. These razors really do well with reducing the hair in a couple passes, unlike using a multi-blade waste of money and causing a whole bunch of irritation from trying of obliterate all the hair in one pass.

  • he says theres nothing wrong with his safety razor but does not say anything is good about it. except you have to cut yourself to learn how to use it.....

  • @EasyBedpost He pretty much did say it is good because you cant improve on a razor like this. They do give you a better shave in my opinion and the blades are pretty cheap and last the same time as the cartridge razors.

  • where can we get the blades?!?!

  • dude you look like your in pain when shaving with that thing

  • @submission123456 just kidding man, much respect with the safety razor. I cant wait to get one. I understand your just stretching your skin to flatten certain areas. Damn, makes me wanna get a nice shave right now. Take Care!

  • 2:45

    the germans, famous for winning wars...

    ...wait.

    

  • @AcutePorphyria germans are just famous to fight against to whole world. i mean, 2 times...

  • Wussification of America. Best part of the video tbh.

  • I feel adopted, my YouTube father is white. ^^

    Awesome video man. :)

  • 67 people dont have hair to shave

  • i love how with in a year this thing would pay for its self 99 cents for a 10 vs a 10 doller razor that is 15 dollers for a 5 pack lol

  • @viperdude400ltd  ??? Wilkensen blades are only about $1.50 at Walmart and Rite Aid.

  • @shavefan12 most poeple that i know use gillet and those are 10 bucks for refiles.

    i use a wilkensen my self though

  • yeah kicking it old school :D

  • Yay. Political discussions and shaving, all in one.

  • Best video showing how to shave, thanks dad :)

  • This guy could really do some damage to the world with this kind of Shaving ! we dont need to fear the nazis, commies, or terrorists....we need to fear This Guy AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • Tip for beginners: Test shave on your pubes so you don't cut your face open.

  • you look like john mccain sort of lolz

  • Mark, your argument holds ground. I asked my dad recently if he ever used a DE razor in his life. He was born in 1948 (which means he would have started shaving around 1964) and he said he's never used one, but that he's always used the cartridge style razor. I was sadly disappointed and surprised at the same time.

  • wow u shave so fast, I would probably cut myself 10 times already if I was shavng that fast

  • was i taught how to shave, or a history lesson??

  • this man fails to anticipate the impact of nanotechnology.

    you can expect cartridges toting a hundred nanodiamond coated blades. someone's gonna make them...

  • whats the brand called? can u put a link

  • @JamalJennings

    If you mean the razor, it's a Merkur. (Looks like a Merkur HD, also know as a 34C, I believe).
