Advice From A Master Barber, Part 1 (Improved Audio)

See also my blog at http://mantic59.blogspot.com This video re-uploaded to (hopefully) address some of the audio clarity issues of the original. Part 1 of 2. I was in Las Vegas in Dec. '09 and got a shave from one of Truefitt & Hill's master barbers. We discussed shaving and he offered his advice. Edited down from a 40 minute appointment! Shot with a Canon HV20 at 1440x1080 (sorry about the lighting, didn't bring extra lights with me), edited with Sony Vegas Platinum, rendered down to 720p due to file size.

[Niqbal87]

can someone clarify what is said at 5.40

[mantic59]

@Niqbal87 he suggests new straight edge razor users to try shaving an apricot as practice.

[fireamracing]

is their any difference in this and using a 3 or 4 blade razor?

[mantic59]

@fireamracing yes very much so. Done properly it can be far less irritating to the skin.

[TheRichardserge]

hello sorry but which razor do you use

[mantic59]

@TheRichardserge not sure if you are asking about me or the barber! I usually use a Merkur Progress adjustable safety razor. The barber used a Shavette.

Please add some text for it is really difficult to understand!

This guy is totally jamming to some 80s while he gives you a great shave, love it!

Looks like the barber's arms are shaved. ._.

[freshy22375]

That brand of razor he uses is a "Dovo"

[jordanmylesevans]

@fireamracing i heard that proraso is a good pre and post shave cream.. :D ?

[wigwamman1]

@murfreesborobarber Was just thinking the same thing. What happened to the importance of a brush "exfoliating and lifting the hair"?
