Hey Geo,

I shaved with this razor a few times and i was disappointed to see that it would not cut ANY of my whiskers even shaving against the grain. After seeing you shave with this i dont understand how you were able to do it. btw im not new to shaving i regularly shave with a slant bar with feather blades however i am new to shavette and/or straight razor shaving

@dkoll72

If your beard is prepared properly, you may just need to work on achieving the proper angle.

Start on the cheeks where it's easiest.

After toying with the idea of buying a straight razor and wondering what to buy for a beginner, will i take to it, what if i cant master the stropping and honing ect ect and genrally doing my head in i decided to try the parker one you just used first as its a cheaper option and hopefully give me an insite into straight razor shaving.

Great vid by the way mate and you make it look so easy Lol.

@kitasaunders

So, how did it work out for you?

Nice review. After watching this video seems like a lot of effort to shave. I could have pooped showered then shaved in about 4 minutes. I embrace technology Mach 3.

Did you ever take calculus? You use math terminology

Thanks for taking the time to make these great videos! I am new to using a safety/straight razor and keep a very short shadow of a beard all around. I'm looking to regularly shave the upper cheek areas, areas under the bottom lip near the chin, and bottom of the neck (hopefully you get the idea). I wanted to know what you would recommend to get started with between safety, straight, or shavette like you have here. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. - cheers from Boston!

Thanks Geo! Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I've picked up so much from your thorough and incredibly patient tutorials.

[32479612391]

what do you recommend for sensitive skin?

[TheOriginalStevenH]

Wow what a great product... I can get this to practice the angle of the straight razor and then switch to a more uniquely skilled straight razor. Thanks for the video this really opened my eyes.

I like :)

@dkoll72 This is actually the razor I use. I've only been doing this for a little over a month and basically wanted a "starter" razor in case I ended up chickening out and not sticking with it. Down the road I'm probably going to get a Feather, but overall once I got the hang of it I've had no problems with this razor.

Are you Irish? Cuz you have a badass Irish accent

[dkoll72]

@harrowrudeboy lol yes... I got the hang of it now, I was using the wrong angle before it was my first time shaving with a straight edge.
