Fantastic video.

[MrClaudioAudio]

Great video man. I've just bought my first DE razor and can't wait to start using it!

[prismflash]

@geofatboy i have a question for you, do you wake up in the morning knowing that you're excited to shave again? or is it just me? I can't help myself, but when shaving with safety razor i am excited. One of the reasons why i wake up in the morning

@JustineBieberxoxo yikes.

I usually spend about 5 minutes in the morning doing a 2 pass shave with a straight. I go the other way, I don't trust the DEs.

I have gotten cut in the morning with the straight, though, and it was from stropping while tired. losing grip of the razor and having it flop around as I try to get out of the way.

But the face, better before the coffee - after 2 quick cups, the hand has a little caffeine shake...bad!

@Treylogan218BR this is not for someone who works at Staples, 95% of us don't need this shave more than twice a year. There are jobs that require a $5000 suit and a professional shave like this. There are situations where every detail counts, including your watch, car, or shoes. No Casio, no Clarks and no electric shave :)

[JustineBieberxoxo]

You know, when I have an occassion I do give myself a nice shave with a straight razor, but for in the mornings it is always my Merkur 38C double edged.

Last time I used a straight razor drunk with sleep when getting ready for work, I got in late and with 21 stitches. Not recommended.

DE for in the mornings people, you'll thank me.

Im seriously thinking of switching from a cartridge razor to a safety razor Im sick of razor burn and razor bumps. Great videos.

[KyleMPulley]

How often should you change the blade in a safety razor?

[TheBammable]

First attempt (5 mins ago) didn't go so well I used a regular gillette cream and it just seemed like it wasnt slippery enough at all. knicked my nose and used too much of an angle a couple times, but overall not too bad i think with time it will become easy

[GOLFWANG9]

lol first. i need to grow a beard. haha tips?
