Fantastic video. What size Schwarzweisskeramik scuttle?

S, L, XL?

I want to order one but it seems like the only outlet is in Germany. Where did you order yours from?

Thanks

Ray

Hi Ray,

My scuttle is the XL size. I ordered mine from Germany because I live in Italy however Mama Bear Soaps imports and sells them. Either way, they're not inexpensive.

I'm glad you liked my video.

are you a barber? Never saw such a 3 pass smooth shave before.

@Eninety2 Thiers-Issard has his set on there web site if I remember correctly.It is a custom set with the days of the week in italian.The reason for 7 razors is you have a freshly honed blade everyday.Don't know about the aftershave he used.You can find this video on badger and blade.com with all his comments on it.

@TheWesswind @TheWesswind I'll guarantee those razors are razor sharp. They are custom made Thiers-Issard Razors with legal Ivory scales. Thiers-Issard will not sell a dull razor. They're all hand sharpened, honed and stropped to perfection before leaving the factory. You are correct there is no hair and yes he is shaving faster than he would normally, but as you say it is a demonstration. But you can get close to this speed, I do, with out cutting myself and use a cheap Dovo.

couple of question:

1. how much do those razors run?

2.what was it that you applied to your face after finishing? Looked like a Truffit & Hill.

3. any reason for having 5 razors?

You can tell by the.sound of the razor moving across the face that there's some real hair popping shaving going on. I learned how to do it from studying. this video.

I have been using a straight razor for many years now and these guys are great at getting you to "want to use a straight razor". But it does not go as smooth or as fast as shown! I guarantee you that razor is set up for this demo only. It would not cut hair or as he wants, his face! This is a show. What do you NOT see in the soap on the sponge? Hair ! Use your head guys. Don't be fooled and spend a lot of money on a razor before you try one out first. Also sharpening is very hard to learn.
