I would start with the Muhle R89

[DrSequoia]

So, what's the conclusion?

I mean, you've shaved with all those razors, tradiional and disposable, which one has won this competition?

[wcspencer3]

@DrSequoia

This wasnt done as a competition just as a demonstration,

and for those wondering how other razors work and shave.

[DrSequoia]

@wcspencer3

Yeah, I know.

But still you seem to have great experience in shaving with various tools, I just would like to hear your personal opinion of which one is in fact the best one for you and why.

Thanks.

@DrSequoia

For the cartridges: ProGlide - Very smooth and Fast

For Injectors: Schick Short Black Handle - Easy to use

For DE Safety Razors: Muhle r89 - Smooth easy to use close

For Adjustable DE Safety Razors: Gillette Short Black Handle

easy clean smooth and close.

@woo2fly21 yea i dont go against the grain no matter what i go down ways and sideway then,, and remember to shave one time per week its more healthy:)

[joker43602]

did you shave about a half hour before you made this video? lol

[woo2fly21]

@lilarif same here man! , have you solved your problem?

[woo2fly21]

is it me or does he seem pretty new to DE in this vid?

[DeepDean]

@wcspencer3 So your opinion is that ProGlide is the best system.

[sa89000]

What type of blade are you using or what is your prefered brand for de?

[lilarif]

how can he go against the grain, im getting razor burns everytime i go against the grain even in small strokes..

[nhlrangers13]

What's your opinion on disposable razors? Do you ever shave with them?

[mauricej74]

I'm jealous of your goatee
