Advice From A Master Barber, Part 1 (Improved Audio)

[xxx69ajj69xxx]

Looks like the barber's arms are shaved. ._.

[freshy22375]

That brand of razor he uses is a "Dovo"

[Niqbal87]

can someone clarify what is said at 5.40

[mantic59]

@Niqbal87 he suggests new straight edge razor users to try shaving an apricot as practice.

[fireamracing]

is their any difference in this and using a 3 or 4 blade razor?

[mantic59]

@fireamracing yes very much so. Done properly it can be far less irritating to the skin.

[jordanmylesevans]

@fireamracing i heard that proraso is a good pre and post shave cream.. :D ?

[comptinasstaylor]

Relaxation? Sammy Hagar sreaming in the background.

[TheRichardserge]

hello sorry but which razor do you use

[mantic59]

@TheRichardserge not sure if you are asking about me or the barber! I usually use a Merkur Progress adjustable safety razor. The barber used a Shavette.

[wgw001]

Most of this pampering on your face is unnecessary in the real world. In my case when I shave with a straight razor I wet the beard with warm water to soften it, lather up with Tabac shaving soap, two passes on the face, rinse with cold water, dry face and apply my homemade bay rum aftershave, and I'm good to go. It's that simple just like your grandfather did years ago. I believe this Barber is much better than the other Barber that you went to in your other video.

[AESamuel]

Did you happen to catch the name of the razor he was using? It looked a lot like a brand that makes straight razors where you insert a DE blade snapped in half.

Thanks!

[The5starSTUNNNA]

intro is gay

[Cheeser281]

@Mantic59 out of all the shaving videos ive seen yurs are the most informative, ive actually been having better shaves now thumbs up! (:

[stnicholas54]

Watching this reminds me of that scene in 'Dumb and Dumber' when Jim Carrey, whilst getting a shave, uses a fake blood sachet to convince the barber that he has inadvertently cut his throat; the barber then swoons back in a dead faint. Funny .......

[GeorgeBruno]

What razor do you use and where do you get your refills?

[JuliusGreaser]

Someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell what that song is at 3:30!!!

[mantic59]

@JuliusGreaser Van Halen, How Do You Know When Its Love.

[JuliusGreaser]

@mantic59 Thanks! You really just made my day!

[puffingweed]

@JuliusGreaser

That tune is "When It's Love" By Van Halen.

[AngeloR674]

@JuliusGreaser van halen when this is love....

[AngeloR674]

@JuliusGreaser van halen when its love..from 1986... ancient 

[torment12345]

I think he needs to review acid/base chemistry again if I heard him correctly. Soap is basic (alkaline) and polarity doesn't really have that effect he mentioned. Soap dries the skin because it forms micelles with oil produced from sebaceous glands and those are washed away with a rinse.

[tattooboy327]

How much did this fella charge?

[murfreesborobarber]

A Truefitt & Hill barber using Campbell's shave cream from a latherizer? Hmmm....makes you wonder what REALLY is good shave cream. $3.00 liquid in the latherizer, or $30.00 shave cream from Truefitt & Hill which gives you the same thing.

[mantic59]

@murfreesborobarber actually he had T&H's Ultimate cream loaded into the latherizer.

[nomadictostito]

@murfreesborobarber Where can I get a straight razor shave from a barber in middle TN?

[wgw001]

@nomadictostito

Most of your barbershops (not salon) will give you a straight razor shave and of course they will use a disposable straight razors. There is several of them in Dickson County TN. I shave with a straight razor so I have no need to go to a Barber.

[wigwamman1]

@murfreesborobarber Was just thinking the same thing. What happened to the importance of a brush "exfoliating and lifting the hair"?

[cas398]

Goo Goo Dolls :D

[BarlowEnter]

This is Disney Land for Mantic.

[BarlowEnter]

6:28 Still nodding intently.

[Frutoses]

I love how Johnny Cash is playing in the background.

[Prophecy23JC]

0:50 "cause the follicle extracts, and the skin gets softer and ........what?"

[jakescakes]

@Prophecy23JC

the barber is definitely talking out of his ass at times

[Prophecy23JC]

@jakescakes lol

[satiro91]

há dermatologistas que defendem que o uso de passar o creme de barbear diretamente da mão para o rosto é bem melhor, revitaliza a pele.

[antipusrises]

Yes, text would be nice.

[cherryblossomslover]

It is a shame the art of shaving is becoming a lost art. Long time ago in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s men were so tip top shape in how they shaved. Now with the marketing and the so-called "new technology" blades - people literally shaved their skins off...(what a pity!).

[afhollister19]

@bsmyn0708 we sell small medium and large brushes for those who have a gotee/moustache, and shave their heads. we also have brushes in black, ivory, buffalo horn, chrome and nickel handles.

[afhollister19]

@bsmyn0708 I'm assuming you're asking why they look lighter in the video. well the shelves their own have a light inside so they look different but seeing them in person they look just like the picture online. also the camera shot in the nick swisher video, only had the fine brushes in the shot. we have a whole wall with the entire selection of brushes. I can assure you if you were to order from the website you'll get what you ordered. Give us a call at the store if you have any ?'s 2127029596

[afhollister19]

@bsmyn0708 yea they can. its just a generic machine. you obviously cant put a gel or anything like that in there. then again why would you. but yeah theyre using a glycerin based shaving cream so its ok.

[afhollister19]

@bsmyn0708 truefitt & hill and AOS use their own product. they take scoops out of their actual shave cream in the morning and load it into the hot lather machine to replicate the effect of a badger brush. I work for AOS and have seen this done on a daily basis.

[xxchrisxx85]

I was entertained by the music int the background lol

[tubexanderdavis]

Hey mantic59, how did you like the shave from the dovo shavette?

[mantic59]

@tubexanderdavis it was very good. the barber knew what he was doing with it.

[coolkidmiracle]

can anyone recognize the song thats playin at 3:30? thanks in advance!

[murfad]

when i was in pakistan, i went to the barber all the time.

what i noticed: before the barber started to shave, he used the back part of the razor to remove the lather first and then actually shaved the part where he removed the lather.

not sure if that is a usual thing to do...?!

[LOLHICRONO]

no homo xD

[LOLHICRONO]

no homo

[daboss212]

he doesnt use a brush???? why is that????

[mantic59]

@daboss212 the explanation given to me was that Nevada state law made using them difficult for hygene purposes. However if I had brought my own brush he would have been happy to use it on me.

[jungleabe]

@daboss212 because he's a master!

[arnoldii2]

How much is it for a shave like this?

[mantic59]

@arnoldii2 depending on where you get it and a couple other variables count on about $70 or more. Its definitely a "pampering" spa experience, vs. a quick shave at a regular barber shop.

[paisteuser06]

id love to get a barber shave, but i dont know of any in my area that provide such a service :(

[MarkGauvreau]

Van Halen would have been better than Van Hagar.

[KOURK78]

Im really sorry to say this Manic but because my mother language is not English I was wondering if it could be possible to maybe add subtitles to this?

Nevertheless you've done an excellent job and you are the sole person that showed me the way to wet shaving.

Thank you very much

[lettersfromtheleft]

This guy is totally jamming to some 80s while he gives you a great shave, love it!

[proboskus]

@lettersfromtheleft 

[Remus0387]

Ver informative vid mantic, i do agree with the master barber that you should have a shve or a facial, bascially because shaving is a facial for guys makes sense only to do one of the two. Also i was wondering can you get a good shave with a straight razor with thick stubble, because you always seem not to have too much hair on your face, feedback is appreciated.

[JohnGaltAustria]

Please add some text for it is really difficult to understand!

[wazrasta]

try watching in 720 its a lot clearer

[Megametalwolf]

this is great man i was just thinkin about this lol

[visulube]

Heh Mantic great video, not sure the audio is much better though.

[adilhussain77]

LOL i was just thinkin of this video!!!

You;re awesome! (=
