How to Shave with a Safety Razor

A video follow-up to an article I wrote over 4 years ago about how to get a great shave. The only right way is to shave with a safety razor or with a straight razor. It's better for you, and it's better for the planet, because the little stainless steel blade you throw away is fully recyclable. There's no plastic that enters the equation, which means less pollution and less waste. Filmed in 720p HD with the Olympus PEN E-P2.

@JFD492 Double-edged safety blades tend to fit all double-edged safety razors, yes.

You know, this is the duty of a father, teach there son how to shave yourself but if you happend to not have a father (like me) then you have to find out how to shave, trial and error, good thing younger generations have youtube, lets see if someone brave enough make a video about "the talk" than every father give there son that would be hilarious!!!

@earlie789 Yes, it is, but aren't you a little young to be shaving? I only had to start shaving while in college.

@raoulpop Its just that it seems a lot harder to apply shaving soap to the brush than a gel. Thanks for your help.
