Saving money is an additive process. A little here, a little there. Traditional wet shaving using a regular double edge razor can save you close to $200 a year and you will get a better shave to boot!

  • Sure it saves money, but that's not why I use this stuff. The older ways of shaving are just better. This is equipment that wasn't "engineered" by the marketing department.

  • @rdangelo well said.

  • Thanks, it was hard to present everything I wanted to in 10 minutes or less.

  • @Drmikekuna - Did you write out a cue card with a list of talking points in advance?

    I shaved with my Merkur today. But the best way to shave is, of course, with a straight razor. Preferably a vintage one.

  • @johnnytastetest

    I think about the topic and plan out what I want to say, but no cue cards.

  • I got the VDH brush and soap a couple of days ago and am very satisfied. Glad to hear they last so long!

  • Hey great vid, im new at wetshaving and im pruchasing my gear, for now ive got a beautifull muhle r89 safety razor, a sample pack of blades, and some mitchell's wool fat soap, so im moving forward to the next step: getting a shaving brush, i'd prefer fan shape brushes, and i love the shape and the size of your rooney, i wonder if you can tell me the exact model of your brush i really like it..thanks

  • VDH does sell a badger hair brush for $25 you have to call them and they will ship it to you

  • Nice video!

  • @dave997 Not really. The razor that you see first in this video is called a "safety Razor." The older style razors are called straight edge, and they are more dangerous. Safety razors aren't as dangerous by a long shot. You should still be careful, but don't worry about danger too much. Watch some videos about how to use them.

  • im a fan of wetshaving and your so right i cant believe i used gillette products the prices are ridiculous now i use a van der hagen soap and a boar brush right now my badger is on the way and im lookin for a good merkur razor
